    First thought that came to mind was "Mass Effect: New Vegas". [I do have that song modded into FO:NV.]


    ...some of these games look so good I'm even worried about how well my 980m will handle them.

    Always found Fallout & Skyrim stories too bland for my taste ... Mass effect story especially when looking at the 3 games and their integration is amazing

    If it is the ending ... There is a neat mod that changes the hell out of that and gives the game a proper ending :D

    lol if you are afraid your setup won't handle new titles ... Then I should go die

    I was waiting the whole time about the ME update from EA at E3, finally they did. But the waiting period is tooooo long...
    I hope this FB3 powered game will shake the sci-fi RPG again for that EA must not ruin the UX :D

    Hmm... just a hypothesis... but it might be possible that this Mass Effect might take place in the Andromeda galaxy?

    Two are completely different games and spins on genre, with pros and cons on both sides. If it's your personal preference, I'll allow it :D.

    Can't say ME (or any other recent Bioware game) had any better story. In a nutshell:
    ME: assemble team, bang teammates, save the galaxy.
    ME2: assemble team, bang teammates, save the galaxy.
    ME3: assemble team, bang teammates, save the galaxy.
    DAO: assemble team, bang teammates, save the world.
    ...
    I think you can see the pattern.
    At least Bugthesda knows that their game stories are usually crap, so they let the player bail on it and go screw around after the tutorial :D

    I was sad to see we have over another year and a half to wait for this, especially since there has not been any real info on it until just this week, but the biggest game from E3 was....Anno 2205. I cant freaking wait, I have I think 350+ hours in anno 2070!

    The spin for this game will be: assemble team, save teammates, bang the world.

    The mass effect games are amazing i always loved them, the mods aren't really great and extensive compared to Fallout and Skyrim that is for sure, but it's just so rich with science fiction which is something i love so much your own space opera! I am very excited for this game i can't wait to collect and to buy more mass effect related stuff!

    Be sure to grab MEA Collector's Edition which, among other things, will also include commander Shepard's condom with space AIDS* :D

    * The joke was made by somebody else and not by me. All credit goes to some random guy on the Internet.
