I hate playing games out of order when I can help it. It really bugged me that I played Mass Effect 2 before ME1 but at the time I didn't have a system that could play the first one and there were no signs that it would come out for it. I also really wanted to play Suikoden II but decided to get my feet wet with the original even though it's not as acclaimed.

Right now I'm debating on whether to skip Dragon Age 2 to get to DA: Inquisition.
