I got the first in 208, since I was revisiting old Bioware games. I found out there was a sci-fi (tied with fantasy for my favourite genre) RPG (genre I've always loved) shooter (the genre I go to for thrills) that I'd missed. I bought it nand was generally underwhelmed with the combat but I loved the setting, story and characters, and that's what got me hooked.
