PC : Tabula Rasa (started again after a break of a few months)

Will install Mass Effect on my Notebook soon (and online-activate it), so I can take it into the vacation in September.

Bye

GTA IV for the 360 - very fun. Despite character being some sort of sociopath, maniacs, vagabond, or ne'er-do-well, I find them all very humorous and endearing. Oh yeah, and Liberty City is an incredible environment, one of the best I've ever seen.

Final Fantasty Tactics 2: Grimoire of the Rift for the DS - I have some minor quibbles, but it scratches that FFT itch oh so good.

I play a lot of nothing, interspersed with the occasional jaunt into Oblivion. But mostly nothing. I want Fallout 3!

Out of curiousity, do you have the issue where:
a) the program never exits correctly (always errors back to Windows)
b) half the time, the saves don't load properly.

I assuming its one (or more) of the mods causing this, but man...so frustrating...

Well, I've had that issue, yep. And yes, it's the mods (I'm pretty sure.) I've used a *lot* of mods - some of which I wouldn't play it again without - and that seemed to create that problem.

I just decided to save twice every time, rather than once. Didn't have any issues when doing that. Oh, and saving often. But then, that's generally a good idea.

Yeah, I have ended up doing the exact same, a quicksave and a normal save each time. And the funny part is that it is so inconsitent. Sometimes the quicksave won't load. Sometimes the normal save wont load. Sometimes neither of them will load and I can only get the game operational by exiting and restarting via "Continue". Its just funky. Worth it though.

Ok...so what are your "Required" Mods?

So far for me
1. Oscuro's
2. AF Levelling Mod

I have a bunch of other's that make the game easier to play, or prettier...but those are the one that I couldn't play without. What about you?

Well, Too Human was released today, and the floodgates of negative reviews weren't held closed for even a day. Silicon Knights must not have been buying enough ad time at some folks' websites.

Oddly enough, it's being criticized for the very type of gameplay that makes its inspiration, Diablo, so popular.

Ars Technica gave it a fairly good review. They essentially said "ignore the negativity, it's a decent game".

Game Informer gave it an average score.

I've had the first problem (it has never closed gracefully for me), but I've never had a problem with a save game not loading. But I've never done a quick save. I use one of the big mod packages rather than a lot of little mods.
