I am extremely tempted to buy DA:I and Skyrim for the PS4, just so I can do screencaps of the pretty landscapes (it's what I've been doing in FFXII and ME:A; I don't see why I shouldn't continue this).
I've been thinking about getting DA:I again anyway, since it would be nice to play all the DLC and, IDK, get final closure on the story. Also it's been a couple of years since I played through it - it'd be good to do that again, and especially to compare another Bioware game made using the Frostbite Engine to ME:A (like, I'm sure DA:I was better done in some ways, although my overriding memory is of everything looking like there'd just been a recent rainstorm in the area, which is no help at all).
And, as for Skyrim, welp. I do enjoy it, and the scenery is awesome and everything, but I also think I'd have trouble playing it and listening to the soundtrack after finding out the composer is a colossal dick (which is being nice about it). THAT SAID, I can switch the music off or turn it right down, and listen to something else instead. It won't be the same, but eh. I think I will cope.
Talking of ME:A, I spent most of yesterday driving around on Eos, and by the time I was done, I had got the planet to 92% viability, which I was very pleased with. I don't know which are the other habitable planets, but I'd like to be able to do the same for them. ( minor spoiler )
As far as main plot goes, I have all my squad members, and have rescued one of the angara for them (I thought I'd messed up at first because I picked somewhere else to go before rescuing them, but no, it was okay! phew).
I don't like most of my crew, and it's not because I'm comparing them to the Normandy's crew, because I'm not. Although I do wish they weren't (mostly) the same species, because that doesn't help!
I don't really have anything else much to say about it since I don't think I'm that far into the plot. Play time estimates are about the same as the original trilogy, so about 30 hours, but I know at least four of mine so far were spent on Eos doing non-plot stuff (I've logged around 14 hours or so so far).
I will probably play some more when I get in from work tonight (still sidequesting, this time on Voeld).
