Head over heels in love :)
I had finally completed Dragon Age Origins, and Awakening as well as all the expansions like Witch Hunt, Lelianas story. I also replayed Dragon Age 2, and started Inquisition.

Mentioned elsewhere that I was playing the Standalone Stalker mod New Arsenal 6 stuck in the Russian version. It's been pretty fun, lots of new weapons to play with. Trouble is that the mod rewrote one of the main questlines involving the scientists in Yantar. I went through the dialogue and then I got teleported into a tunnel network! Each level is a fucking maze. I have no idea where to go and I can't read cyrillic so there's no way to figure out where to go (assuming I'm not swarmed by mutants in certain sections). Not worth the effort, fuck this.
I also tried Road to the North, it was going well until I went into another quest in the main story and the route myself and an NPC had to follow was bracketed by fucking zombies. Another artificial pain in the ass.

Mass Effect Andromeda. It's not as bad as I recall and I'm still getting suckered into the premise when I boot it up.

Surprisingly months ago I couldn’t figure out how to do the platforming so well and got so frustrated I left for months
I notice it’s a sort of trend for me and games I find hard or frustrating due to not being able to do the basics so well, only to truly return to getting to doing them pretty well months later

As I work to reacquaint myself with Fallout New Vegas by playing the game with no mods on PC, I have to ask: does it feel like certain features were underused? Holdout weapons are one example. There's only two quests in casinos I know of where they be a necessity to survive. The main quest where you confront Benny lets you bring in all your weapons by passing a speech check.
Another example is the idea of "surplus ammo" that one of the first vendors in game brings up. I never found myself needing to buy surplus ammo (which is only available for two types of bullets). Anything else that's underused?

Playing: Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries Mafia Edition
You are a Mechwarrior who had the tragedy of watching a horrible cutscene in the first mission\tutorial level involving your 'dad'. Your dad is a made man who decided it's time to retire and arrange a fake hit on himself but he left the money on the dropship. Now instead of retiring to a nice beach with busty beach babes on Terra he's now a smear on the wall as the hitmen crew decided to take it out on his hide for not paying.
Now the Mechwarrior.. lets call him John Q Bland, his crew of equally bland generic supporting crew and a talking Australian action figure from the bargain bin are now on a misguided quest of revenge as they destroy half the inner sphere hunting the hitmen crew that did the universe a favor. It turns out later your father forgot to pay the phone bills and space AT&T is coming to collect the dept your 'dad' built up with the Capellan 1800sex lines.
That is a better story than the default Mechwarrior 5 mercenaries. The game is a hell of a lot better with Mods installed instead of the vanilla experience.

Tried the Butcher's Circus DLC for Darkest Dungeon, so here are my impressions. It is interesting and infuriating at the same time.
Character skills are reworked for the Circus to fit the different gamestyle, along with Circus specific trinkets. It's interesting to build your team and deal with what your opponent throws at you. There are roughly three major ways of defeaing your enemies. One is to hit individual enemies with massive damage (like in the core game) and then deal one deathblow after another, this tactic usually revolves around marked for death skill. The second is to pile bleed and blight across the enemy team so they have multiple characters on the death door, overwhelming their healers. The third is to drive the opponent stress meter to the limit and can be combined with second.
The Death's Door mecahanics can be absolutely infuriating though, you can have enemy marked for death and survive multiple kill strikes from Bounty Hunter and Arbalest, while your characters fall to normal kill strikes on the first try. So the RNG plays even greater role than in the campaign. Opponent finder is fairly good at finding you opponents of your, or near your level, I only got one major mismatch. Connections crashes still happen though.
I also started a new story campaign, killed Collector on the first trip to the Ruins, without taking damage and Reynauld got accidentally cured of his kleptomania on the way to the Necromancer's apprentiece.

Just beat Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Man, the older Call of Duty's really are great games.
I understand why Activision won't sell most of them for less than $20. You can't really get a better shooter campaign than the Modern Warfare or Black Ops series, IMHO, and Activision knows that they're no longer capable of their old successes.
That's why much newer games like Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is the same price as Black Ops despite the almost decade long age difference.

I pretty much played only Warframe lately, a trend I'm trying to buck by running Skyrim again. Unfortunately the awful UI and everything else forced me to run Nexus. Then I learned Nexus Mods was using a new programm called Vortex, which mwant I had to install that, import the mods, then uninstall the old Nexus.
Now I have to calibrate the UI, the enemy executions, and literally anything with the SKE-whatever. At least femCicero should run without issues.

Warframe is fun. With Inaros prime coming out, I decided that the Devs have done enough work that they deserve some more money from my and went ahead and bought it. Pocket sand is the best ability.
Its too bad the only way you can get Umbra forma is from Nightwave, three of them would look very good on Inaros. Sadly, I've used two of them on my Paracesis, so I only have one left.

The gameplay is so fun while fast, only Doom has really managed to scratch my itch of combining run'n'gun with slice'n'dice.

Warframe is indeed a lot of fun. I think there was a dedicated thread for it a while back, too. Highly recommended to give it a try if videos of the game action look appealing to you (since, you know, completely free unless you want to spend money on stuff).
I've also been playing Superhot: MCD, and...eh? There are some fun new innovations, but the key change to the gameplay loop is a bad one, I think; focusing on short bursts of careful perfection like in Hotline Miami or Super Meat Boy felt like a much more involving, flow-generating experience than having to shepard my lives.
Also, the game itself telling me that there's no point did make me decide to, at least for now, shrug and shelve it.

Thief, Vampyr, or Call of Cythulhu - which should I play?
Seriously. I feel so conflicted.

Hmm, start with Vampyr. I heard good things about it.
