    I've just finished Dragon Age: Origins. Fantastic game. Very rich story telling. Loved the interface for the most part.

    Was a huge time sink though. Need to take a breather before hopping back into anything. Besides, need to wait for the ME2 on Mac.

    You can import your ME1 character into ME2. Depending on some key choices you make in the game will result in how some of the story elements play out in the second one. Things like, who you may have slept with, who you let die on Saren's lab planet. If you saved Wrex, if you chose to let the council die or survive. Who you chose to represent the humans. there is quite a bit that is effected, but isn't a requirement in order to play ME2.

    Cool. It's been so long since ME1 that I've forgotten most of the story. A good thing, because it sounds like I'll have to make more-or-less the same choices to see how my original playthrough (which I now consider to be more-or-less canon) affects the new one!

    Also looking forward to Bioshock 2. Still haven't finished the original BS yet.

    Just completed it with only one crew member passing. Went full Paragon for this play through. Gametime 37hrs 23min.
    I'm going to do the ME2 Character import and start my second playthrough and go with the Renegade path now.

    From what I am reading it seems like the game is rather short. Would you guys who have completed it concur?

    ~40 hours is pretty substantial, I think. I have the game, but I still need to finish ME1, which I'm working on (slowly). I don't know where you guys find the time to play 40 hours in a week!
