      I've never played Dragon Age, i might have to pick up a copy. I'm actually sucked into some serious Civ 5 end-game right now trying to come out on top. After that misery is over I'm going to try to play Day Z again (I heard the new patches make it playable), but probably just end up finishing Borderlands 2 and Farcry 3.

      GET ALL THE DLC! IT'S A MUST!

        OKAY, JUST STOP YELLING.

        I'll have to check it out, not bad for $30 on steam. How's the actual gameplay? I've never actually seen any gameplay other than what i just looked up. It reminds me of an addicting cross between Oblivion and Diablo? maybe?

          Different angle than Diablo (as far as POV). It's a similar play style to Elder Scrolls but not as deep. Still an amazing story line. And SORRY! I'LL STOP YELLING NOW! 😛

            @MattKing the DLC is very important. Get the Ultimate Edition on Steam on you will be good to go. The game play is more like Oblivion but it is not open world and the combat is not real time.

              The combat can be real time. It can be stop and go or real-time. The harder the game gets, the more stop and go it becomes. So yes and no to your point.

                Ahh, see that sounds interesting. Applebee's is far/inconvenient for me and is on a longer timeline, this is something I can manage to check out! 😛

                  I think @dominica is thinking about returning to Dragon Age again too.

                    @ajstringham I used to feel like I was a wimp or something for always wanting to play on easy, and then @scottalanmiller explained why he does in a way that made so much sense. We aren't in it for slash and hack just for the sake of it, we play for the story, and you get the same story on easy.

                      @scottalanmiller Yes, I've been thinking about it. I just have so much to do at the moment, that I'm afraid to let myself get started up again! At the moment, I spend all day reading homeschool email lists, searching for groups for us to join, reading posts on HS facebook groups, etc. I want to make sure that we are well prepared for this first official reporting year of HS in NYS.

                        Exactly! Some see the story as part of the game. I see the story as the reason to game.

                          @ajstringham my too. I sometimes refer to gaming as "interactive fiction" because I see it as storytelling. I don't care about the action.
