I know what you mean, I loved ME but it has seemed like a long wait for a proper old-skool RPG. The first time I played it, I wasn't even sure whether I liked it or not, I think because I was pinning so much on it there was no way it could live up to my expectations. Also I didn't understand the combat mechanics because it wasn't AD&D rules, so it was a bit of a learning curve.

But I have to say I have played it more solidly than pretty much any RPG that has been released, (with the exception of Morrowind!) it's really grown on me.

My games tend to last 80 hours or thereabouts, but I am an ardent completionist - if there's a side quest to be found, I will do it, and there are a good many side quests in this game.
