Mass Effect and Dragon Age and Morrowind were fun, but newer games keep getting designed for consoles, which is pretty much the kiss of death as far as intellectual stimulation goes.

Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring.

If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc.

Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game.

Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO.

That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story.

ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off.

Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella.
