Me and the wife have been playing Mass Effect almost exclusive of all other games since mid-June. There is just no telling. The hour number is getting absurd.

Haha. I think you're crazy. I played Dragon Age for 80 hours and the expansion for 40. But as much as I love them, and I mention them because I assume Mass Effect is very similar in structure being story based more than "loot and stat" based, there's not too much replayability. I will play them again in the future but only after I've forgotten a good bit.

You probably have replayed many ME missions several times?

Mass Effect and especially Mass Effect 2 are built in a way to encourage replayability. I've played both of them atl east a half dozen times, and have many more times that I plan to play the second one. I'm just getting started, really.

Each class (especially in the second game) plays differently, you have different romantic options depending on your gender, on andn on and on. They're built almost specifically to be replayed about a hojillion times.

ME2 in particular is all the most addictive parts of a BioWare game combind with all the most addictive parts of a good shooter.

Wow I totally didn't know that. I wonder why they didn't make Dragon Age like that because they originally boasted it was going to be a unique experience each time you play (there are some parts of paths that are unique depending of which class you start out as but general convos, choices and stuff don't change).

Half a dozen... It's hard to melt.
