Well I currently have a bounty, though no idea which region it's in (I ambushed some Imperial soldiers taking a prisoner, and thought it was either the Falkreath, Whiterun, or Riften regions but in none of those do the guards want to attack me yet I've still got a 1000 gold bounty). Oh, and I found something feral would want. biowarestore.com/accessories/series-2-action-figure-four-pack

if it hasn't Grunt or Tali in it, i aint buyin'. Playing Assassin's Creed Revelations atm, i think its pretty damn good. Bomb making is diverse, the defence of the Assassin's dens is fun and Constantinople is a very interesting change from Italy! Also Sofia is....hmmm....salve indeed....

Both Grunt and Tali were in series one. As were Shepard and Thane I believe. The one's I want are Tali, Mordin, and Legion, maybe Thane.
In the Dragon Age Origins figure I really just want a Genlock, maybe Morrigan.

Oh man, a Garrus action figure! Sweet! I`d love to have Alistair, Zev and Sten. They were my 'Team Melee' and I miss the heck out of those guys. You finished it in 2 days? You must have made a linear run through, Gor. Is it as good as I`m hoping it is? Sounds like you enjoyed it. Didn`t have time to play Skyrim last night, we rented the new Conan on PPV, just because Momoa is that good-looking! Tee-hee. I kid. (Not really) My daughter hadn`t seen it so we rented it. Tonight though, I am climbing up on Giblets and slaying something by crackey! Thought I would share this with you guys. Listening to her sing this gave me gooseflesh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z9TdDCWN7g

Picked up oin my second round of Fallout Vegas after a six month hiatus (I can't stand all you guys talking about Skyrm and me not being able to share! ) Little disorriented after such a long break working out where i was. Have made it to Vegas and have finished off most of the quest to return the town to a modicum of ord and helped Rose avenger her Caravans deths against the Van Graffs and Crimson Caravan (without killing anyone). Brought peavce to Freeside and the NCR and sorted out the nasty dark secret of the White Glove Society as well as putting paid to the Omertas. Still haven't found Benny to pay him back for shooting me in the head. Refloated the Boomer's B-29 from the bottom of Lake Mead (so they love me) and I have to make a decision whether to stik with Rose or go with Veronica to find the Brotherhood of Steal (4 hours straight playing! I'd forgotten how addictive these games are.) For those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about Fallout is set in post apocolyptic America. Fallout 3 and Fallout Vegas are set in the same time period and, like Elder Scrolls are played as first person RPGs. Unlike in the Elder Scrolls your not anyone special (no destiny but what you make) and you can end up on many factions including the bad guys and help them win. Water and food are not abundant and can be radioactive so there are a whole new level of problems to deal with. I enjoy it as much as the Elder scrolls mainly because differences. The world is a wasteland but its textures are varied and rich in different ways.

Short review; Revelations is a tad shorter then Brotherhood and ACII, but it's still a good game on it's own. Story is okay, the action is well paced (half the time in some missions it feels like a action movie) you can do missions with one of your Assassins when they hit lv 10 and there is some new and very interesting puzzling about with Desmond's Journey (1st person platforming)
If your a big fan of Assassin's Creed, go get it. Never before has playing a fifty year old dude been so awesome.

I can't seem to get into the story on Assassin's Creed too much, not sure why. Think I don't connect well with most of the characters. Really all I do is run around assassinating my own targets. Think that may be why I prefer 1 the most, as you had a few cities you could just travel between at any time to kill people in.

My daughter borrowed Fallout from her buddy but couldn`t seem to get into it for some reason. So I`ve seen bits of it but not much. Her biggest thrill was talking to some man who was voiced acted by the same man who voiced Lucien LaChance. That tells us where her mind is! =)
AC Rev is on my Xmas wish list. Ezio grabbed me the first time I saw and played him, and I can`t imagine not getting this last part of his story.
On the Skyrim front, I`m now the leader of the Companions and engaged to Farkas. Took the big lug long enough to notice that amulet. I`ll confess I was rather let-down after he finally made the move. Not even a kiss or a hug?? Bioware really has spoiled me in the romance department. I was so bummed I woke up this morning with a fun idea for a short run of one-shots based on my girl Yasdra and Farkas, so keep an eye open for some Skyrim fun coming soon!

Sounds good Feral, definitely have to keep an eye out for it.
I only just bought Fallout 3 (Game of the Year for about twenty bucks Australian is a good deal given all the DLC). I like some things about it and other things don't fit too well. Given I always try to play as a sneaky ranger type it doesn't work well with guns until I get the silenced pistol. I did like some of the moral choices, though they really were a case of 'do you want more money or better karma and more people around?' for the most part.

I suggest you lot also try to find Assassin's Creed: Embers on Youtube which pretty much is Ezio's epilogue. An old man at the end of his life who wishes to enjoy the last few days he has left with his family. A lot of heart went into this 20 min film, trust me it's worth it to watch. To be fair dark, i only got into AC with Assassin's Creed 2, and so far i haven't played the 1st one yet.which i plan to remedy soon Skyim fanfic eh? Interesting..

DT Being sneaky does pay off quite a lot. There are a whole lot of nasties out there that can kill you quick. Nothing worse than being hit by a plasma rifle and being turned into glowing green goop. Yes the GOTY version of F3 is definitely the best one to get as you can contin ue after finish the main adventure (Bethesda always has the game end in the fiurst game for some reason so you can't go back and complete all those missions you didn't do before.).
I too found Assassin's Creed 1 rather borring and repetitive. Lovely atmosphere but after a while it just felt a bit ho hum. The second one (which I haven't played, seems much more interesting set in Renaissance Venice.

Yeah you can be sneaky, though it always pulls me out of the game when I fire off a gunshot in a shopping mall and only the bandit I'm shooting hears it. Even Skyrim can pull me out when I kill someone and their buddy searches for so long they eventually assume they just imagined hearing me.
Very happy today, picked up a scale model of the Normandy SR2. Little smaller than I thought it was, but still damn awesome. Makes me really want to start a new character on Mass Effect.
Hmm, and Feral's talk of a Skyrim fan-fic (added to the fact I managed to pick up a Bastila Shan figure today) has got me considering a story based on the Knights of the Old Republic time-period. Probably won't be until after I finish off Paladins though.

Oooo, a Normandy model, how cool!
I did finally get married last night in Skyrim, but it was so business-like I still find myself needing to write something to flesh out the relationship between my Yasdra and Farkas. Now I can take my husband, who kicks far more rump than Lydia did, out to explore with me. Next step for Yasdra? Off to slay a dragon with her hubby! Should be fun! Or, we could both end up deader than dead.
