I love strategy games and games that have a story with cutscenes and things that allow you to really feel like you are a part of the story. I enjoy this even if my decisions don't particularly matter.
I am a strong believer in quality over quantity.
I've only dabbled in modding since i was 12. I started with Total Annihilation believe it or not. Since then I've done all kinds of things. I mostly just tweaked models and edited XML files by adding a few very simple lines of coding.
