I haven't seen much about it yet, but it is a Bioware product, so...

I have been eagerly following this game for months.  It is going to be awesome and I am actually counting down the days. :blush:

It is Baldur's Gate for the next generation.

After strings of games that were merely 'pretty good' I think Bioware has hit the target with this one.

:huh: Wasn't Mass Effect a Bioware product?  ME was definitely better than "merely 'pretty good'". :)

ME is a Bioware product and I agree that it's better than just "pretty good".

I considered preordering Dragon Age but the official site does more to convince me not to than to encourage me. I hope I'm wrong.

I am looking forward to it, but fully expect it to not satisfy my RPG desires.  Mass Effect just wasn't the greatness that others hyped it up to be, even if it was fun.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Also, Jade Empire was definitely better than 'pretty good'.  The "evil" ending was the most satisfying CRPG ending ever.  :menace:

I'm looking forward to it, but I won't buy it on release :)

You are.  But go ahead and wait for the positive reviews if you need to be convinced.

It was fun, and they've made some major improvements to it, but the first rule is that I can't talk about it.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I forgot they were a bunch of dentists from Edmonton.

Major improvements, huh? When developers say things like that I always wonder if I should be happy that the end product will be better or worried because it needed major improvements to begin with.

I'd look forward to it, provided my computer returns to life.

I was looking forward to it until I saw the trailers.  Now I'll consider getting it after player reviews stating that it doesn't suck ass.
