Need a new game for my 360

Play KOTOR and don't read a word about the story beforehand!

do it, you won't be dissapointed.

also: the last remnant by SquareEnix ain't half bad

well I got F3 and I'm disappointed. I had played Oblivion on my PC and while I liked it at the time, it just got boring for me. When I started F3, it felt the same and now I'm bored after only having been though it a couple hours. I dunno, it just doesn't feel that fun for me.

I'm down to replaying Mass Effect as a third character now. First was a soldier, second was as a soldier/biotic, I guess now I'll try biotic/engineer. Too bad KOTOR isn't available for XBox 360.

Pretty sure you can buy KOTOR on XBL.. It should be one of the classic XBOX games available.

Nope. It is backwards compatible but it is kind of a buggy backwards compatible.

Oh bummer, I could have sworn I saw it on there.. Couldn't verify here at work, all the sites are blocked..

Hopefully it gets added then.. I already have it for PC, but would most likely re-buy it to play on the 360.

Yeah, Oblivion or Fallout 3 are really good choices if you liked Mass Effect. I actually started anew in Oblivion last week and am hooked all over again. I tried something different and am playing a Thief...something I've rarely if ever done in RPGs. I'm basically using this go around to do parts of the game that I never did in my previous two plays.

Yeah, the only things I missed (if I recall) my first time through Oblivion were Thieves Guild, Mages Guild, and The Dark Brotherhood (which, granted, is a big part of the game). I need to buy Oblivion again and go through it.

I'm with you, 99% of the time when I play an RPG I'm the "warrior" class character, whatever it may be called. I've never really done the mage/thief/ranger thing. The exception to the rule being Diablo 2, where I had about 3 of every class...

:thumbsup: Will do. Anything else worth noting? I plan on focusing on a few areas like small guns, lockpicking, and maybe stealth. Are there certain ones that are bullshit and never come into play?

For your attacks Small Guns probably has the most usefulness throughout the game as ammo is always plentiful and the guns are probably the best spread of power. The 10mm pistol is the first weapon you get in the game, and the upper level Small Guns (especially the unique guns) pack more punch than any of the energy weapons raw-damage wise. Skip out on unarmed and melee completely unless you just wanna try something new. Big Guns (I hear) is overrated.

Definately get lock pick, it's MUCH more useful than Science (although both are handy at points), I think both of mine are almost maxed out now. Don't go overboard on Strength, it's nice to carry stuff but that's about it. Don't put alot of points into Barter as it's nice early on when you're low on caps, but later on none of the merchants will have enouch $$ to pay you (and you really won't need them to). Also, get lots of inteligence as it too will add to your available skill points on every level (I think I started with 7 or 8). Also, having a high speech skill will let you get through the game alot easier, although it might also make you miss a quest or two.

Also, don't put 100 points into any skill, as through the land there's skill books and bobbleheads that will raise them. Get the perk that adds 3 skill points (as mentioned), and later get the perk that doubles the skill points you get from books. With that, technically you can get 50 (or half of the available) skill points for every skill just through books. So technically if you had the time/desire to do so you could get most of your skills to 40/100 and boost all of them to 100 through books/bobbleheads, but that would take forever. I'm at lvl 17 and I'm now to the point where I'm getting skills I didn't really plan to use as I've got most of my main skills where I want/need them.

Good stuff to know. I took the strong back perk at some point so now I'm good for carrying stuff. Next level I'll probably get the one that doubles skill points in books. I've already found a few books randomly, but from what you've said it sounds like there's a fuckload of them. I already have the extra 3 skill points perk as well as a level or 2 of 'gun nut' (or w/e) and a couple to the main skills. I have a lot of points (60+) in small guns, lockpick, and repair with a decent amount in stealth.
