Mass Effect 2

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Well, with the Mass Effect trilogy over, I needed another reason to stay on BSN and bother people.

I like Medieval party based fantasy. Saw the commercial for DAO and thought I would give it a shot. It looked like a big company too. It was my first BioWare game.

When I first started Dragon Age I thought I was just another game. I don't know when it turned into a great game!

I ... I ... I'm not quite sure what drew me ... to ... to ... DAO. There ... there ... was this music ... in my head ... it wouldn't go away. It was like ... like A CALLING!

I had just gotten burned out on Skyrim and was jonesing desperately for a fantasy game. However, I'm a very picky gamer, and after ruling out all the JRPGs my boyfriend tried to get me into, I started doing some research on Western RPGs. Dragon Age interested me more than the Witcher, and so I picked up the Ultimate Edition for $20 at GameStop.
Holy balls, was I blown away when I started playing. This was my first Bioware game, and it was (and still is) some of the finest-caliber storytelling I've experienced in a game. I laughed, had my heartstrings pulled at, nearly threw my controller in rage, and wept openly at the end. After playing Awakening, I ran out and bought DAII which admittedly disappointed me at first, but after a few more playthroughs and DLC purchases, showed some very fine merits.
Bought the Mass Effect Trilogy when it was released for PS3, and have been retroactively pursuing Bioware games since. I just can't get enough of that sweet, sweet characterization.
Inquisition will be my first purchase of a game on release day, and I'm saving my money to get a Special Edition.

Boredom around the house 2 years ago. My brother bought the game but never finished it because he went to Orzammar first and got stuck at the Broodmother so he left it lying around. I decided to play it out of curiosity, made a Human Noble, and became absorbed by the game.

I was thinking about this as I've been reading this thread.

So, when I finally got hooked on DA, I looked around to see if anyone I knew had played the game among my friends.  I was curious about rogues and I wanted an idea about the gameplay.

 I should have known I wouldn't have look past my own family.

The first person to recommend a class for me to play in Origins? My dad, who had played the game first. He's turning 63 this year and thanks to him, I grew up on RPGs. He loved games like Dragon Warrior (boy, if that doesn't date me a bit!), the early Final Fantasy series, among so many others.

There isn't a time in my life where I lacked having a console growing up.  Started with the Atari 2400, then to the NES.  SNES-Playstation.  Our first computer was bought back in 1993 because my dad wanted to play games on it. No kidding; he saw footage for the game The 7th Guest and wanted to own it. 

We both loved Neverwinter Nights, and the BGs games a lot.  We both enjoy RTS games...even though I suck at them.   At one point, we were in the same raiding guild in WoW, playing rogues together  (along with my mom, who was a paladin and my husband, who was a lock.)

My mom and I are close, but my love of RPG, as well as gaming in general, comes from my dad. Anytime I go over there, he shows me the latest game he's picked up on Steam and generally knows about what games are coming out before I do. And I know when Inquisition comes out, we'll be making my mom and brother's eyes roll as we gush about the game for at least 20 minutes non stop.

Coolest dad EVAR! 

I think so too!  I'm pretty lucky.   I'm crazy about my dad.

The ability to create my own character, shape their personality through dialogue and play out the choices they would make. I had just played ME1 for the first time right before DAO was released, so I figured if I enjoyed all that in one BioWare game then I would like this one too (and I was right). 

What keeps me coming back to those games? The same things that drew me to them in the first place. I play a different character every time, and it feels like a whole new story.

I found the Kossith to be an interesting breath of fresh air.

So, I came, I saw, I stayed.

[Beyond2souls]

My friend told me about the game. I decided to try it out and i fell in love.

[RR1107]

I had purchased the original Mass Effect on Amazon for like $5.00 back in 2010. I was about 1/2 way through and was hooked. So I ordered ME2, and Amazon recommended that I should also like Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition that had just came out. Since I had heard of it before, and since they were made by the same people I figured I would try it. Now I'm hooked on both the Mass Effect franchise and the Dragon Age franchise.

Saw it one day on Direct2Drive and figured what the hell...

[BouncyFrag]

Some badass CGI trailer which then led to disappointment (I was a newb just getting back into gaming on the Xbox 360 and was not wary of the ways of gaming advertising) with the graphics but got sucked into the gameworld at Ostagar when sh*t got real with Loghain quitting the field. That and "ooo cookies!"

Boredom and an XBL sale.

[Deebo305]

Ultimate Edition was on sale for 10 bucks at gamestop and since I wasn't mainstream enough for Slyrim I figured Meg can't beat 10 bucks suck it Skyrim

[BronzTrooper]

Got bored of ME. Specifically ME3. Since I kept hearing about DA in the forums, I decided that I would get that to replace ME as my RPG game series. I'm glad I did, it distracted me from the horror of ME3. * shivers *

[acid_rain82]

I saw the trailer for dao and preordered the collectors edition.

[slimgrin]

I wanted to try an old school high fantasy RPG. Plus, it's a great PC-centric game with modding capabilities.

I started to play DAO summer 2010.

I first watched youtube videos where I saw funny and interesting dialogue between party members. That way I also saw what kind people they were. Next I saw some romance stuff and my curiosity grew. I asked one of my friends about it and he told that its like playing KOTOR and that its a great game. I have KOTOR and I like it very much. One of my favourite games.

After all this I finally decided to buy it and it was totally worth it. Right from the opening cutscene I was hooked. The world itself, the characters, especially your companions, the combat, cool looking armors, the ridiculous amount of blood my characters were always covered with even killing rats...I loved all of it. It still has lots of replay value and there are more things to discover.

Bought DA2 and I will definetely buy DA:I when it comes.

[bEVEsthda]

The question is somewhat wrong. Nothing had to "draw" me, since I was always here.

I've been here since the BG days.

Discussing and waiting for BG2.
Played BG2
Discussing and waiting for BG3, but got BG2: Throne of Bhaal instead. ( which I suppose was still OK'ish).
Discussing and waiting for BG3, but got told it would be NWN instead.
Discussing and waiting for NWN, but got NWN:OC instead, which I considered a disaster, a diablo-wannabe, very far from the game I had expected and wanted. Discovered ES3-Morrowind instead , which saved the year, and then some.
Watched Bioware save NWN with expansions and the tool set. Still didn't win me completely back.
Discussing and still wanting BG3, played KotOR instead, liked it a lot for the tremendous Star Wars atmosphere, but found it very linear, combat absolute crap and disappointingly small active company.
Discussing and still wanting BG3, got told it would be 'Dragon's Age' instead.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
ME is realeased instead. ME is alarmingly 'streamlined' and lot too much like KotOR, but still a good game.
Discussing DA and getting reassured that DA will be different from ME. ME is just another console-title. DA is BG's "spiritual successor", and will be a PC-only game.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
Discussing and waiting for DA.
Discussing and waiting for DA. EA takes over Bioware. The atmosphere on the forums changes over night.
What the H*** will happen to DA now? Nothing good has ever come from EA, right? But it's basically finished, so how can EA now possibly ruin it? Gets told it will now be reworked to be released on the consoles.
DA:O is finally released. Despite for mana, autohealt, autoresurrection and a small party, it's a great game. A truly great game on the PC.

Relief.  My perfect RPG-game franchise is finally realized. Expects a fantastic future. If EA milks this as they've milked their sport-franchises I'll be in extacy.

Recieves DA:Awakening. Find it curiously unpolished and disappointingly 'wrapped up and finished in a hurry'-feeling . Gets told most remaining DA-developer resources have been shifted towards this bright, newfangled thing, DA2, which will be umpteen times better than that dreery, boring, stale old crap DA:O.
Alarmingly, the DA2 marketing video is disgusting. Vomit-inducing. Seems aimed at 14y old boys. And nothing else.

DA2 is released and I buy it without trying the demo (I hate installing and playing demos).
DA2 proves to be even worse than feared. My beloved DA franchise has been utterly and cruely warped into an affinity of everything I despise and hate in video games and video game culture, complete with exploding enemies and an "iconic" remake of Isabel and a machinegun-toting Varric. .

****ing about DA2.
Playing Witcher 2 for a day or two cleans my soul.
****ing about DA2.
ES-V: Skyrim arrives and saves the year , and then some.
Continues ****ing about DA2. Tries to warn Bioware that they only seem to listen to criticism from players who actually like DA2.
DA3 is semi-certain.
Continues ****ing about DA2. Tries to warn Bioware that they only seem to listen to criticism from players who actually like DA2.
DA:I is announced.
Continues ****ing about DA2. Tries to warn Bioware that they only seem to listen to criticism from players who actually like DA2.
Stops ****ing about DA2, since design decisions of DA:I are mostly finished.
Decides to be optimistic about DA:I, and to continue to be it, until I have played it.
Plays BG Enhanced Edition.

You know, I get the sense you're trying to say something about Bio, but I'm not sure what it is. 

You veered far more from the Diplomatic response into Sarcastic than I usually do. :innocent:
