swayable

I think I'm going to buy Dragon Age 2.

Not because I've really changed my opinion on the subject any - I have extremely low expectations of everything except elfsex (since, like, the entire world seems to think Merril is the best thing ever). But because Bioware is giving away Mass Effect 2 free to people who buy DA2.

You may remember that I've never played Mass Effect and have had about as much interest in the concept as I do in finding a dead snail on the sidewalk.

Yeah, but... free. And, well, if my major reluctance to both DA2 and ME in general is being worried that I won't enjoy it enough to be worth it, packing them in together at the same price to double the odds does kinda help. Also, my endless trickle of store credit (I don't have quite enough but I do have SOME) means that I ought to be getting both games for under $20 cash expense, which means I can claim that I'm buying DA2 for $10, which is how much I said I was willing to spend on it in the first place. Tortured logic much?

So I post this just so you can watch the twisty thought-processes of someone lured by a bargain on things she didn't really want.

I haven't done it yet though. I'm just... probably going to.
