Fuck lists, man. They're how the MACHINE keeps us in CHAINS, man. Organized thought is CONTROLLED thought!

I think one of the reasons that I enjoyed Borderlands so much was that I played through it (twice, and 2x the sequel) co-op. Actually, I had two co-op games going, a 3-player and a 2-player game. Sitting in the same room, chillin and killin - it doesn't get much better. I couldn't bring myself to play it single

I absolutely loved Blood Dragon, and that final scene with the riding tank dinosaur was so hilariously awesome, just an extended joke masquerading as gameplay in the best possible way.

My inquisitor was a tank. I brought along my other two tanks, Cassandra and Blackwall, and then Sera for firepower. I let my tanks duke it out close up with the dragons, and played as Sera, keeping her in the distance (which the AI is incapable of doing properly.) Dragon's weren't a huge problem.

Ultima IX is best forgotten.

Wow, I'm just the opposite. I avoid looking for the "best" gear, and have an innate ability to choose character builds and abilities that are rather useless. Sometimes I'll actually play games in such a manner as to avoid over-leveling, or deliberately keep myself under-leveled, so as to maintain challenge.

Yes, the Tarot cards are absolutely gorgeous, and easily my favorite little bit of flare in the game. It's not just for the main characters, though those are easily the best - every codex entry has one, or at least has one associated with it. I'd love a full set.

I pretty much never replay big games either, so I feel your pain. I'd just rather have things end up where they end up, and live with the sometimes illogical or unpredictable consequences, rather than consult a guide.

I also really liked Sera, but I think I found her a bit more sympathetic and understandable than a lot of people have. This may have been aided by the fact that I studied nobles and elites in Early Modern Europe quite a bit, and the more you know about the history of nobility and class relations, the easier it is to

I can set myself a role, and stick to it, or I can be honest in a game, but I just can't make myself actively game a system. Acknowledging the game system like that just kills a game for me.

Steve Jackson Games did a take on the idea, called Frag, that is well regarded enough to still be in print every so often, despite being close to 20 years old.

Woot Memoir 44! I am a bit of a fanatic about the game, as you can see from my wordpress site Memoir Fanatic.

I can easily imagine using this in a creative writing class.

I'm not much of a speed running fan, because I just don't enjoy repeating the same challenge all that much.

Mine is, actually learn to play flight and driving sims.

Metro 2033 Redux on Ranger Hardcore mode gives an exceptionally cinematic experience, with no interface on-screen, in the first 10-15 minutes of gameplay - and next to no shooting competence is necessary.

A thousand times yes. I'm not a big fan of either adventure-game style puzzles, or logical puzzles, or spatial puzzles, or puzzle platformers, or even cardboard puzzles. No, let me take that back. I really, strongly dislike them.

I didn't play DA1 or 2, and I didn't look up anything from the Wiki. I loved DA:I wholeheartedly, and had no trouble figuring things out.

That quest really bothered me, because it was the only major quest in the game that really felt artificial.

I never played DA1 or 2, so this was a lot more pragmatic to me.
