    Gentlemen,
     
    I bought Dragon Age for PC and have been loving the fuck out of it.  I've been playing for hours on end and JUST finished the Urn Quest with the Magi Circle Quest...I still need to hunt the Dwarfish and Elves.  I also heard these quests are just the TIP of the iceberg for story quests.
     
    Yesterday, I got Mass Effect for PC...and oh my god, as MB is a strict mod, Mass Effect has given me wet dreams.  I have no idea I missed such an amazing game.   I have been playing Mass Effect today almost nonstop and just got my ship.  I could careless about the action, but I fucking love the story.  Don't get me wrong, Dragon Age is fucking amazing too.  
     
    Now, even worse...Final Fantasy XIII is due out shortly and I'll be getting that day one.  After playing these two amazing BioWare games, I have a strong feeling my nostalgic love for Final Fantasy will die soon.  At best, I'll rush through the story of FF13 and go back to Dragon Age and Mass Effect.  
     
    HOWEVER, an even bigger problem emerges, Final Fantasy XIV beta is due out soon and I know once I get my download code, I'll be on that like homosexuals are to fashion.  So within the middle of December I'll have 2 BioWare titles, one Squeenix title, and one Squeenix MMO.  I blame all of this on BioWare.
     
    I have no idea what to play now...do I keep questing in Dragon Age and enjoy a relaxing time thinking and taking a slow approach to the story, or do I sit on the couch with keyboard on my lap marveling at the cinematic epicness of Mass Effect?
     
    All I can say is, holy shit BioWare...I regret losing faith in them for all the console shit lately.  Dragon Age is hands down the best RPG I have played in my life...but Mass Effect is like having the most amazing person do the most amazing things to you.
     
    There goes my rant...and now I will flip a coin to see if I will team up with Wrex and Ashley or kill that fucker who left the Grey Wardens die.  
     
    EDIT:  I would also like to add while all of this, I got to level 32 on MW2 (PS3)...so screw you Infinity Ward as well.

    Um unless you intend to buy the japanese version of ffXIII its not going to be out until march, so i guess that could lessen the overdose.

    Dude- take mass effect out of the equation (already dealt with that last year) and replace it with demons souls and i am in the same position as you in every way - maybe worse as i have the spec ops , veteran runs, and multiplayer of both ps3 and 360 mw2 on the go 
     
    What a time to be a gamer :)

    You should just hold onto your money for a while, play Mass Effect/Dragon Age until you've had your fill, then go on to the final fantasies. They are final after all, so they should come last :P

    I have even worse news for you: Mass Effect 2 is due out in late January. 
     
    @Bucketdeth:   
    Er...oh. Then I guess Mass Effect 2 isn't due for a while for him then.

    dragon age is incredible.
     
    i didnt like mass effect on the pc because the controls where so effed up. the ui and everything was great, utilizing hotkeys and such, but the aiming was/is all fucked up. theres mouse acceleration and a weird limit to how fast you could turn. unplayable to me. it didnt support gamepads either. :(

    Nah, controls aren't that bad...I just play it like a shooter and put that shit on casual after I died a few times.  I told myself I care more for story than anything else...I found out it came out 2007 and holy shit that's still a good looking game.

    i hear ya. I still have yet to get an hour into Dragon Age just because i barely have time for it even though i really want to continue it. I still have to finish Uncharted 2. Just got Bayonetta and played a few minutes into that and i want to continue it also. I still need to continue Forza 3 and NBA 2k10. MW:2 is also taking up a lot of my time w/ online. and i also have L4D:2 pre-ordered on steam, and i should be getting AC:2 tomorrow. and i throw in The Sims 3 here and there. just too many games were thrown in at the end of 09.
     
    i to am planning on getting FFXIII and try to get into the FFXIV beta.

    Actually you are almost done when you´ve recruited all the races. Just an interlude and the wrap-up left after that. You´ll be finished with DA way sooner than you think. 
    Stilla great game, but not very many story quests.

    well, you could pick up modern warfare 2 and start killin dudes to give yourself a refresher. just don't get addicted to leveling up and gettings perks and attatchments. that'll just add to your problem.
     
     
    ok maybe thats a bad suggestion, but its what i'm doin right now so. it works for me.

    I think you should just slow down and enjoy Mass Effect and Dragonage. Seems like you're trying to play a game when you have not finished the one that came before it. Switch your pre order to Mass Effect 2, problem solved.
