    xbox 360 gamer here, but really, my LOVE is for the MAME and the old arcade classics...350,000+ on Defender :-)

    welcome all gamer adds!

    Awesome, I'm also a fan of the classics. I have a hobby collecting and restoring early 80's dedicated arcade games. (Joust, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, etc.) Lately I've become hopelessly addicted to Left 4 Dead on the PC though. New here, so anyone feel free to add me!

    I think what I love about Baldur's Gate I & II and Dragon Age I & II is the interaction between your party members. There's something really brilliant about that.

    I find Skyrim pales in comparison when it comes to wanting to actually HEAR what NPCs have to say. :P

    I agree so much! I love being able to control the group as a whole on quests and the lot as apposed to hoping my follower stops running in to the wall and shoots the giant in or around the knee.

    You forgot the Mass Effect series.

    As for Dragon Age, I thought that Origins had the better overall story, but the gameplay in II was much better.

    Oblivion and Skyrim were also great games, but Bethesda needs to get better about their PS3 programming ... way too many glitches in their games. I'm currently playing Fallout New Vegas again.

    Agreed. If you could build parties in those games they'd be my favorites. But I'm a Bioware fan to the core. My husband and I argue about who makes the best games and I'm always rooting for Bioware, their storylines and character interactions are always amazing.

    Gamer here. Started at a young age with the gameboy - moved on to sega, pc. etc.

    I now have the wii, ps2 and an xbox - share the ds3d with my kiddo.

    Quit WoW about a year ago - and now really just play the xbox. (Mostly any COD - especially zombies)

    Let me know if you'd like to add me.

    Yes! The companions in these game is really the driving force that makes me love them so much. They're intelligent, I can control them if I so choose, and when they bicker I die from laughter. It's win/win/win.

    Couldn't you create your own party from scratch in Baldur's Gate? I seem to remember spending long hours making the Harry Potter crew as my group. Haha. Oh good times... goood times.

    I've met a lot of people who think that if you don't play FPS games or games like Skyrim, Dragon Age, etc. then your not a real gamer. I mostly play RPGs because I can't play first person perspective without getting sick. (camera angles bluh :sick:)

    I play everything! Literally. Except for sports games and CoD, and most movie tie in games.

    But Mass Effect, Bioshock, System Shock 2 (Yay!) FFs of all stripes, Xenogears.... on and on.

    Spent a good portion of the beginning of Wreck it Ralph translating for the girl I took, lol.

    This is really what got me into obessively playing games.

    Playing multi-player games was fun, was never intrigued by the idea of single player until I was watching my husband play Metal Gear games and I found out that 'Yes! Some games actually come with a storyline!"

    I used to have that problem. I'm gradually getting over it. It can be really dizzying and disorienting though.

    I'm actually more inclined to wave off folks that play Skyrim. Skyrim's so popular it's like dipping your toe in it. Now... get down to System Shock 2, maybe, or Terranigma...
