I just feel the need to say again that this game set the standard for me. Hard pressed to hope for anything that engrossed me as much as the Mass Effect series did.

I agree that a lack of time is (hopefully) no reason not to enjoy a great game. My free time has dwindled increasingly the more I become a "real adult," whatever that means, and although I may occasionally wish that I could block off gaming weekends like I used to, my enjoyment has not dwindled alongside it.
