Am I totally geeky?

bry623 · 01-08-2007, 02:06 PM

So mom got me Dungeon Seige II Deluxe Edition for Christmas. I had recently started playing Dungeon Seige again and got almost 1/2 through it when I found my Legends of Aranna (expansion pack) CD. Now, as much as I would love to start playing my new game, I am thinking that I should continue on as to not disrupt the story.

So the question is, to play, or not to play?

Ooooh, tough one! My personal opinion - keep playing the one you're playing. When you finish, you can go on and play the new one. The new game will wait.

I feel your pain.
As most will now know, i love Oblivion.
A bit over a month ago my friends got me Knights of the Nine for my birthday.
As much as i wanted to go and get all the awesome stuff and do all the new quests, i haven't even touched the surface of Oblivion (haven't even started the main quest, and i've had the game since then day it was released), so i limited myself to getting shiny new armour for my Horsey, and i continued on my merry way with Oblivion (still haven't even visited all the wayshrines which kicks the KotN quest into action).

My opinion, play it in chronological order. It just flows easier that way.

OK, those are good opinions. The new one came with a map that tied all four stories together, and that may help me along the way..

I tend to play many games in parallel. I'll play a few different RPGs, FPS, strategy, etc.

You foregt that I am old Erich and cannot do many things at a time.

My younger friends say I am old while my mom still thinks I'm 5. I take advantage of the situation and do things as I please.
