Aaa thank you! heart
You should check out Dragon Age when you have some free time to yourself. Such a fun game, has all the tactical combat goodies from old school Bioware RPGs (Baldur's Gate, PS Torment, etc) but sweet voice acting and -- the setting! Oh, the setting, I could talk forever about the setting. They broke away from WoTC's vice grip of licensing death and made their own world, which ended up being an extremely cool one ifImaysay. Fantastic, fingertip-kiss, smooching sound effects, etc.
The characters are a lot of fun. The secret, apparently, to getting mainstream ladies into gaming is to offer romance options, which Dragon Age has in spades. 1 option unique to each gender, and then 2 bisexual characters you can romance. Most women, apparently, are totally all over Alistair, who is okay I guess, he could be a worse character, but he is far from being the best one, and I am too busy fawning over Zevran to really pay attention to him.
ANYWAY. The romance is all well and good, but I would say my #1 guilty pleasure of the game is ... when you're running around areas, your companions will talk to each other, and these conversations are so, so funny. Some people I just put in my party just so I can hear them say awesome and hilarious things. Mmmm.
ANYWAY #2, Dragon Age is down to $30 on Steam, which includes $15 worth of DLC. They, uh, to combat used game sales they took part of the game, a couple dungeons and one of the best companions, and made them DLC. Then, they gave this DLC for free to anyone who buys the game new.
