What to Play?Follow

Of those, the only "must play game" imo is KotOR.

I'd say Fallout 3, if you haven't played it yet. If you have, then my vote goes to Borderlands. I've heard good things about Bastion, as well. No clue about Witcher, though I'm sure it's decent.

You can skip DA 2, as far as I'm concerned.

Your list appears to be omitting shogun for some bizarre reason.

I haven't played any of the listed games before (except for Bastion long enough the get the achievement credit from the Steam winter sale).

I didn't list non-plot based games (Shogun, Civ, etc) intentionally. I can play those alongside a plot based game but, for games with a story, I prefer to go one at a time.

Voted Bastion because it's fun, awesome, and short. You could probably finish it in one sitting if you really wanted to. That way you can scratch it off the list and move on to Fallout 3, which you could easily play for several months.

I love Fallout as much as the next guy but Demea is right. Once you get certain weapons all challenge is ripped out of the game, not that there was a huge challenge to begin with. Borderlands is neat but kinda boring if you don't have another person to play with. I would go with Amnesia if you can play with headphones and lights out. With people pestering you it looses its fear factor rather quickly.

I vote Fallout 3 as well if you have never played it. I was hooked all the way thru New Vegas (Which is also excellent).

I don't think the water/food and sleep hardcore mode was added until New Vegas but I loved it. Made it feel even more like your a survivor scrounging to survive especially in the beginning. Plus having medpacks go on a HoT instead of a spamable full heal made the game slightly more challenging.

But start with FO3 it's well worth playing and it was one of those games I put off forever because post apocalyptic is not my favorite genre. But it totally converted me.

Close second is The Witcher. You will hate the camera and controls at first. Adjust the camera to over the shoulder. Stick with it, great story and interesting combat style once you adjust. The Witcher 2 is even better but you have to stick with it at first too because it can be brutal to the uninitiated.

V.A.T.S

Vault assisted targeting system. Good with some weapons and not with others. You can build around it or avoid it, it's entirely up to you.

With the Bloody Mess perk each death becomes an experience in the joy's of blood pinatas.

Yeah it did.

I voted Fallout 3. If you hurry up, you can download Fallout for free from GOG. If not Fallout, definitely The Witcher. POLAND, REPRESENT.

Awesome Paskil. Managed to pick that game up. Going to play it sometime this month.
