    Am I weird for wanting to "save" ME2?

    I love this game, and I have been looking forward to it since I beat ME1, but I'll play it for like 1-2 hours then get this urge to stop playing or else I will beat it too soon. It kind of depresses me because it's so much fun and I want to play but this feeling is stopping me.
     
    I think one of the reasons I get this feeling is because I don't have a lot of money so I have to spend wisely. For example I only bought 2 games this holiday season, and then I bought ME2.
     
    The games were, Dragon Age: Origins which I beat in a week, and at this point in time I have beaten it twice. And I also bought Modern Warfare 2, the main reason for beating Dragon Age in a week since they came out a week apart, and for the longevity of the multiplayer.
     
    I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is it weird for me to have this urge to not play? I mean it doesn't help me, It's not like "Go outside and do something!" or "Go work out, asshole!" It's like "Stop playing this game or bad things will happen."
     
    Help me. O_O

    Well there are always multiple run throughs with different classes making different choices.  Also, just think about the fact that there is an almost infinite sea of games out there you haven't played yet that you need to get to.

    Yeah, i had that urge for a few games, it'll eventually go away...and then you'll be able to play through and enjoy it normally.
     
    What i find unbelievable is that you beat Dragon Age in a week, WHAT THE HELL? how much time did you spend playing that man?

    I felt the same way, but I remedied it by starting on Insanity.
     
    Now I don't think I will have any problems taking a long time to finish.

    @SpartanGuy: I had that same want...but I just finished ME2 about an hour ago. I realized that...as much as I wanted to savor it over a week or too...the story was just so damn gripping that I had to keep going. Its like a book that's a page turner, you just aren't going to put it down and close the cover because its too good.
     
    Plus as someone who just finished, can't wait to get back into a second time and seriously...at least the second time..there will be TONS of things that are different.

    I'm also playing it on Insanity for my first run through as a Vanguard which is apparently the worst class to play on Insanity.  14 hours in (according to in game clock, it's probably twice that) and I just put the second disc in.  I have a feeling it'll be a long, long game.

    @Shirogane: I beat it in a week by skipping a lot of classes, and not doing side quests, but totally worth it. 40 hours or so on the first play through and like 55 hours  on the second because I did different stuff and the side quests.
