None of the TOR novels are especially good, in my opinion.

Taken...In the air

KotOR was the best. I need more games with conversation trees. Note: Dragon age sux.

Origins was great up till the last quarter, imo.

I'm almost done with 2 and it's been pretty abysmal so far, though. I'm afraid to play ME3 if this is the quality I can expect; they've already lost me as a customer for DA3.

It's time for Bioware to work on a new IP. Mass Effect 2 seems to be the outlier for their record with sequals.

Dragon Age 3 looks amazing though. They look like they've really put the effort into it.

ME3 is also a great game. It just has some issues.

ME3 was a good part of the trilogy, and really had some of the most emotionally gripping moments therein. The ending was somewhat lacking, but the overall experience is pretty solid. Worth the playthru.

I raged quit at the first game. The map was confusing to navigate.

You must find life very difficult.

Navigating my neighborhood is easier than navigating ME.

You're the only person I've ever talked to who raged ME because they couldn't 'figure out the map'. Srsly, this is not something to be proud of here.

The world was too big and there was no indicator as where to go.

Spoiler:
pussing out on the Genophage. Going through with it and having to shoot Mordin and Wrex is such an amazing scene.
The third game really is very good. Better gameplay and has some fantastic scenes.

Lol. You must have a hard time with a lot of things.

"I couldn't find Admiral Sulu so I raged."

"I couldn't get through the Lost Forest, so I raged."

"I couldn't find the power off button on Windows 8, so I pulled the plug."

Spoiler:
I think my favorite scene was the one with Thane, although Mordin's sacrifice was really good. ME3 really hit a lot of nerves with the drama. It was awesome.

DA3 looks terrible. They've turned my tactical rpg into Darksiders with companions.

I mean, dodge-rolling, grappling hooks, srsly?

That I have zero interest in the plot only makes it worse.

That doesn't sound good.

Actually, you can choose between that style of combat or Origins style of more tactical Baldur's Gate-esque gameplay.

On second though, action combat might be more interesting. Mind you, I haven't played DA 2, but DA 1's micromanagement style combat bored me. I just turned it to the lowest difficulty and rotated members in case of heals. Otherwise, it was mind-numbingly boring.

That actually sounds better.

Also, subjective views on 2's plot aside, the combat system in the game is the same as Origins. It's just faster.
