ME and ME2 are both in my top 5 single player experiences along with KOTOR, Half-Life and Rome: Total War. Hopefully ME3 lives up to its predecessors. Either way, it's going to be the next game I play.

If you'd played ME3 at release, you might've been disappointed. I wasn't (loved it) but a lot of people were. Playing it now will most likely be fine, with the dlc cleaning most of the questionable stuff up.

The gameplay changes pretty radically (in a good way) from ME1 to ME2, but it's worth playing the 1st one because it's the best in the series in a storytelling sense. 2 and 3 feature much more enjoyable gameplay.

Right now I'm still playing SW:TOR, working on my bounty hunter (should be my 6th level 50 in a week or so). I've recently reloaded LOTRO (after watching The Hobbit) but haven't started playing, and don't expect to play much. But I have enough store points accrued to purchase both expansions and have a ton left over, so I figure why not.

Also replaying ME3 right now. Have Arkham City waiting for when I feel like a change of pace.

I think I'm going to play ME3 the same way it was released. I'm not going to mess with the DLC until I play it the way it was meant to be played.

I guess I could increase the difficulty, but it wouldn't make anything any more interesting because I can't progress any further anyway, it would just make exploring more challenging.

Yeah going heavy on enchanting/smithing can really unbalance the game. I won't ever have the best leveled gear because I only use stuff that fits my build from RP perspective. I use light armor vs. heavy for starters and since i am a Stormcloak sympathizer, my character refuses to use anything Elven or Glass. I started with Stormcloak armor up to becoming Thane of Whiterun. I then wore the Whiterun set, imagining myself as a personal emissary of Jarl Balgruuf as I scoured the countryside killing bandits and necromancers.

I'm now doing side quests around Helgen and Falkreath, wearing full Falkreath guard armor. And as I mentioned before, my character doesn't like magic or magic users, so not only I am not enchanting stuff, I am not using anything that I find that is enchanted either. I use an amulet of Stendarr but that's because he considers it divine blessing rather than "magic".

I don't think the ending DLC actually changes anything, it just adds some postscripts. It's also free, so I'd say play it (even though I actually haven't - I have all the DLC but haven't played through any of it but From Ashes yet).

Don't know why but I dusted off the old Dragon Age Origins so I could hit every single codex. It is a relief from Guild Wars 2 for a while.

I'm playing Dead island and BLOPS2 on PS3. Was gonna get Far Cry3 but wanna finish Dead Island first.

Not really the game you wanna play for three hours before going to bed.

I like your hardcore roleplay style. I might do the same as an Imperial agent/assassin at some point.

God I have too many. All unbeaten games I am trying to juggle right now are Assassin's Creed 3, Mass Effect 3, Gears of War 3, Far Cry 3, and Black OPS 2.

My online games right now are Black OPS 2 and Gears of War 3

I'm playing LEGO Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I know it's an easy kiddie game but I find those LEGO games incredibly entertaining.

TrickyNicky 12-30-2012 12:33 PM

Skate 3
Bioshock 2
Gave up on Black Ops 2. The first month is a lot of fun, but it wears off quick.

Basically I'm just biding my time playing stuff until Sim City 5 comes out
