Dragon Age: Origins
Let me start off by saying that I never go out of my way to actively break a game. I do things the game tells me to do, and more often than not, I actually can get to the ending. It is thus surprising that for a game touted as the next best RPG since [...]

Pride and Prejudice is one of [...]
