I don't know if we have options in engineering like that at our school - we just have the popular majors such as mechanical, civil, electrical, computer, biological and chemical.
I haven't played adventure games much but I like the concept. I played some Sam&Max demos. I tend to like storyline-based games like GTA and, yeah, Fallout. Recently I've been playing Civilisation V although I generally don't have enough patience for strategy games. Sometimes I also play FPS like CoD. I guess it's not so much about the genre though, I just like random games. As far as RPGs go, I think that Neverwinter Nights was the only actual RPG that I tried playing.
I am! Last month I went to Gamescom in Cologne and got to play a small quest or something. It was hard to judge the game, but yes, I'm definitely excited.
