You know what, now that you mention Baldur's Gate, I remember that I finally got all 5 discs back from my brother in law so I think that's what I will play to hold me over until DLC arrives.

That sounds like a ridiculously good idea .

Well as long as the other posts are more helpful than yours, they should help me make the decision. I am just looking for other peoples input. If you think I don't need it, don't give it.

I wish I had part 2, but the original will suffice.

I'd recommend not playing Skyrim for a good long while, keep playing Dragon Age, it's a very different style of game but I think it's a modern classic, come back to Skyrim in a few months feeling refreshed.

Or you could treat yourself to the PC version and get modding

I wish I had part 2, but the original will suffice.

May I recommend you gog.com, for 10 dollars you get BG2 + Throne of Bhaal. You will also find a forum with links to the great widescreen mod that makes this game even better. AND it is patched and ready to run .

Wow thanks, I will be checking that out this evening.

Last night, I got home from coaching my 9 year olds basketball team for practice, got all 3 of my daughters wound down (the wife works nights), put all of them to bed and decided to pop in a copy of Battlefield 3 that a friend at work let me borrow. I noticed that I was out of HDD space and couldn't install the HD graphics disc. There was no way I was going to play without it so I decided to clear some space via the option given to me. I said to myself, "Self, just delete the Skryim game install and you can always install it when you're done with BF3." In response, I said "Great I idea, self. Let's do this!" So I went to the Skryim Icon, pressed delete, and confirmed. Right then and there I realized something. I didn't expand the Skyrim selection and choose game install, numb nuts here just deleted the whole thing, including all game saves... So my question to everyone is this; what now? How do I prime myself to get back into this game. Should I get back into this game or play something else. I have Dragon Age: Origins and I am only about 10 hours in. Should I just play that? By the way, I was 120 hours in...

Like I said, wasn't being mean. And I did give my opinion. Play the other games for a bit, then play Skyrim again. It's a stand alone game so you won't miss anything. Sorry if I offended.

Like others have recommended I think you should play Dragon Age. You won't regret it. It's a great story. Then I would go for Baldur's Gate. I think I'll play BG one last time this spring then say goodbye to it. The world must go on.

I highly recommend you get BG for PC so you can use the BG 2 engine from pocketplane.com, because BG 1 graphics looks terrible on todays monitors, and there are lots of great mods for it to improve the gaming experience. After that most of the bugs in Skyrim should be squished and some great mods available for it too.

As an xbox and PC player, I concur.

But, I can't agree that Beth has the right to deliver sub-par games just because he decides to play on a blu-ray player with gimmicks.

Edit: Can someone give me a brief explanation on what the joke with horse armours are? I see it posted everywhere but feel I am missing something.

Well, since unless there is an awesome way i'm missing, your game saves are probraly lost for all, and since Dragon Age origins such a great, STABIL, fun and PLAYABLE game, yeah i would go with DO:Origins..



Haha, see what i did there beth?


Edit: Damn sorry, i tought i was in ps3 topic
But i will not delete it, right beth?
Loves from ps3 subforum <3

First - go to your control panel and access your installed programs. Uninstall anything you don't use or need. Then reinstall Skyrim and search the mod sites for a premade character that is about as far along as you were. Or just create a new character and console command it up to speed.

I'd say play Dragon Age Origins now. It's a really awesome story-based game. Since Skyrim Creation Kit has been released, once you're done with Dragon Age, some neat Skyrim mods will probably be already out.
