Ex-KGB agent slow to spill secrets? Headslam. FBI director whining about reckless behavior? Headslam. Old lady giving eye witness account of terrorist activity? Headslam. Old lady with broken nose crying about getting headslammed for no reason? Headslam again.

It all looks kind of stiff to me, not fluid, kind of jerky?
That dialog system reminds me of mass effect, but I really like the addition of a timer to your choices. It's like real life; you can't just stand around thinking in awkward silence once they finish their sentence. you have to just go with your gut and react.
Still though... stiff and jerky looking gameplay.

I thought, by the way it was worded in the title, that headslams was the new facepalm

I've been excited about this game since its preview in game informer like 2 years ago. Glad to see it's shaping up. It does look like they have some kinks to iron out, so here's hoping they can do that.
I like the timer. I do hope though that they make it so that you can't go back and get all of the info regardless of your approach. I like the idea of being stuck with my split-second decisions.

I will add that the main character is supergeneric, but i suppose that's so you can make him whatever you want. I'm disappointed there is no character face/gender option like in mass effect or oblivion or fallout or kotor, etc. etc.
