I want to re-play a classic issue...
I can't pick a game.
IWD and expansion IWDII BGII and expansion Wizardry 8 PST I have many new games, but I keep thinking about the classics. For example, I have Dragon Age: Origins and Aion as well as Borderlands all ready to rock. I have not played Aion in a while. Borderlands is not even installed yet. I have started Dragon Age but I keep getting bit by the BG Nostalgia bug. Any suggestions? Should I just play through DA:O? Install Borderlands or give Aion another go? Or should I just have a blast with one of the classics? Thanks for help. Happy New Year,

It depends what mood you're in. Borderland is a fun game but it's more of an action/shooter RPG hybrid. Why not play through Dragon Age first since you already have it installed?
How's Aion? I get the impression it's a grind heavy game like Lineage II and other Korean MMORPGS. What kind of MMORPG is it?

Aion was not that bad actually - but I definately missed the more complex character builds from WoW ( which I will never go back to as I was addicted for many years )

Re: I want to re-play a classic issue...
Aion was fun, but it is kinda grindy if you're not into the PvP aspects. I think I did level an entire level on a day of PvP mayhem though. We made a death squad, and went around killing Elyos for something to do. Good times, unfortunately, I can't keep my sub going.
For me, however, DA has started taking up much of my time, either playing, or discussion on their social network, which I'm not overly fond of, but the discussions can be fun, for me anyway. If I were in your shoes, however, I would stick with DA, and play through at least once, which will, if you're anything like me, lead to at least one more to see how playing the origin as the opposite sex turns out, or how different choices made throughout the game affect what happens later, etc.

Borderlands will not be as much fun without people to play it with. Get yourself some friends to play over LAN (perhaps hamachi over internet) and avoid internet play because there is no cheat protection and an army of hackers.

I'd keep playing DA:O, soon the BG nostalgia wears off and the Game/World/Characters of DA stand very well on thier own.
