Like some already said, I too love Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Elder Scrolls, Zelda TP and Stardew Valley. It’s hard for me to chose a favorite game… There’s a few of them I equally like, and it kinda changes depending on my mood.
Saints Row 2 is one I haven’t seen mentioned yet. There’s always something fun to do in this game and it’s hard to get tired of it. The map is packed full of interesting stuff, feels bigger than it actually is. And without writing a novel about it, I like the story a lot. It’s a perfect balance between wacky and serious, plus the characters are great. Truly underrated game imo. Shame what happened to the series…
Same, I’ve been at it for a few months too. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to re-run all the tools and patchers… Nemesis, Synthesis, Dyndolod… some manual patching in xEdit and oh look, a new mod! And this mod just updated, and this one too… here we go again
