To be honest, when I begged my mother to let me pay her back a week later so we could pre-order Dragon Age: Origins, it was more for DragonFlyy, my hubby. It seemed like a game he'd enjoy more than I would, and really the gore made me go "Meh". It seemed like it had a good story, and i loved the Grey Warden motto, but I just didn't expect "TOTALLY WICKED BEYOND ALL REASON".
However, after watching DragonFlyy play for an hour or so before he went to bed, I was itching to make my character and see where the game took me. Well, I had to be DRUG to bed at 6:30 in the morning (I started playing at like, 10pm, maybe 11...but I'm pretty sure it was 10).....so that should say something.
When I wrote about the game in my pen and paper journal, I actually started the entry with "Holy F...... S... (replace the ...'s and take a hint). It's just THAT good.
To be honest, I'm not even that far into it, and it's definitely up there next to my other favorite expansive, semi-customizable RPG....Fable II. I see these games as being a great deal different from say, Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc.
Anyways, I will post more about this. I can't help it, it's just so awesome.
I feel like a slacker for not posting more, especially since I've played some great games lately, such as Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box which was ASTRONOMICAL. I honestly feel the only thing they could have done better is making it longer. Which isn't saying much because I'm a horrible addict who obsessed over it for days and days and played non-stop, so I burned through it faster than a normal human being would.
I also need to play Pokemon Platinum waaaaaaaaaaay more. I feel like such a slacker for not being farther in it, but I think that might have something to do with the 400+ hours I have logged on Pearl. *Whistles Innocently*
That reminds me, I'll be driving almost two hours away just to get Arceus in a few days, lol. Yeah, I'm a junkie. I can't help it.
