The magic is in the game. Personally I never encountered a gay orc in my 150 hrs or so of Skyrim. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Going all left wing progressive never even occurred to me, I would have totally made a hot lesbian and married Aela the Huntress.
I wouldn't feel that way. For instance I tried really hard to like Bioshock. Pretty much considered a classic. Everyone seems to like it. And parts of it I liked but I got bored with it. For whatever reason doesn't work for me. Same with Mass Effect. I'll probably go back and give both another try but for right now they're meh to me.That's why they make so many different games afer all.The magic is in the game.

What I meant in my post is that while the game is beautiful and plays pretty much exactly like FO3 & New Vegas, I don't seem to get into games focused on Magic, Dragons, etc. That direction of fantasy just doesn't interest me.
However, I may go back and take it in better the next time and turn out to love the game. But from what I've played so far, I just couldn't. I almost felt like something was wrong with me for not liking this universally loved game. Dragon Age Origins is also in my backlog (got it free on Origin), but I can't seem to get up interest to start it for the same reason.
lol nothing wrong with you at all. I dont like FPS games and they are all the rage. Whatever floats your boat amigoThe magic is in the game. Personally I never encountered a gay orc in my 150 hrs or so of Skyrim. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yup. I played about 30 minutes of Shadow of the Collossus and hated the gameplay and camera enough that I just dropped it completely.lol nothing wrong with you at all.

Not sure I get it entirely. Lightning bolt = laser rifle, stasis field = paralysis potion, armor = armor etc. It's all about your ability to suspend disbelief not whether you wield a sword or a chainsaw, shoot a bow or a sniper rifle, are Dragon Born or a Spectre.

It might be because ME1 isn't a very good game. Really good story. Below average game.NCCommish said:
Paradise falls is a dilemma for me. I don't turn slaver but I don't free them either. The way I play (wanderer with few quests) I need the trading posts Once I get their shop outfitted it's a regular stop for me.
I could arm the Marines from my Megaton house. I don't need any more shops. And frankly it's been awhile in the game since I had an all out battle of any level. So... yeah.The best was using vengence on the lead guys head at the gate. Nothing but mist. Get the message that I failed his mission. Lol. No kidding.
I can see that. For me I just decided to go with clearing it out. I kind of hoped dude would still trade but no he was in a kill me mood. I didn't care for that and so I ended him too. Probably should consider the trade aspect next time though.
Yeah, I am sure it will be great once I get used to terminology and how it correlates. I think I need to figure out how to use other things, because just like in Fallout, I suck at melee weapons and don't really like having to use maces and swords.Not sure I get it entirely.

If the story is good (and the mechanics are good) the game is good.
I'm not great in melee but a good mace is the answer for guys like us. There is a mace you can get that automatically takes the soul of whatever you kill with it. My favorite weapon in the game. I always have a ton of full gems to sell and it does a ton of damage. Plus it's evil and so it scares off people just by holding it.Yeah, I am sure it will be great once I get used to terminology and how it correlates.

I don't keep a house. Whatever I can carry is what I've got. It keeps the scrounging/surviving feel of the game going longer - which is the part I enjoy. And I'm always somehow low on sniper ammo : )
Can't believe you got DM killed. I swear he seems near invincible. Not sure why the Brotherhood wasn't there. Did you talk to anyone in the lab? You can't do that until the story takes you there or it does mess up the timeline for the main story as I recall.
Setting up the shop is a minor pain (but hey, I got nothing else to do). If you know where to go it's a bit of a fetch quest - but at least to a cool location. If not, it's a fun discovery wen you find it.
This does sound interesting but I am such a pack rat I don't think I could do it. I'd start out all ready to go stuff free and it wouldn't last.
You're very lucky. Dogmeat almost always "dies of courage" before I can complete a single loop.
Dunno, is it possible that I killed him as I was blindly shooting into the distance? I know there were 4-5 mutants around him at the time too.
I have let him go toe to toe with behemoths while I was otherwise engaged. I always worry he is going to die but he comes through fine. I have used maybe 3 stimpacks on him but usually only after some really heavy action and when I am expecting more to follow quickly. So I am glad I have been lucky with him because of all the followers I have had in various games he is my favorite. Can't carry anything but I can't count the number fo arms and legs he has torn off in my defense.
LOL, you start to quickly increase the value/weight ratio of loot. It's really tough to drop something that is rare but heavy. But for me it's fun to use things just for a specific location and then drop it. Like the Fat Man at Evergreen Mills is one and done for the XL mutie. When I keep a house I might as well call the game Post Apocalyptic Hoarders. I don't even collect bobbleheads unless they're "special".
The radio quest also let's you repair the broadcast tower so you can hear 3 Dog throughout the wasteland. That may or may not be a good thing for some,

Woah woah..... really? Where? That's what I need - another round of killing a whole building of people.
In my experience non-bad guys don't respawn. Some though you can't kill. If they are considered essential characters they won't die.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance would be a great game to co-op with your son. Unfortunately 2 is nearly impossible to find, at least at retail price.
The Mako was one of the worst vehicles that I can recall in a video game. Other than that, I enjoyed the first game and felt that they neutered what made it a wonderful RPG in the 2nd and 3rd. As far as an action game goes, the 2nd and 3rd are definitely better.
I really liked ME1 but understand the complaints. I did as little as possible in the Mako and found the repetitive building designs kind of tedious. Great story but it had a long ways to go as a complete game experience.
Drifter said exactly what I mean by neutering what made ME1 a great RPG. There was very few customization options in ME2 & ME3. I also thought the different ammo types were pointless in the last game. They felt like a necessity in the first where if you weren't using the correct ammo, you got chewed up. I was a badass just by leveling up the weapon I picked up and I never felt the need to switch ammo type EVER in ME3. In general, it just felt dumbed down to make it more of a action shooter - which it still did well.
ME1 had flaws too where customization didn't matter much because of imbalance. The Pistol loaded up with Marksman ability was ridiculously powerful. Singularity was overpowered. Certain combinations of armor/abilities/omni device were also overpowered. I just did ME1 again with combat turned to difficult and 2/3 of the way into the game, I was pretty much unstoppable.
That's a good point. I'm not trying to take anything away from the last two games. In fact, I actually find them more fun in most ways. It's just that I didn't like seeing those options taken off - and many others agree. I feel that each style has its strengths and weaknesses.
I love variability in an RPG but only when the balance is there. Variability is meaningless if it's exploitable.
