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.

I am curious what exactly in the trailers made you think it is going to suck ass.  I have seen most of the trailers so I am not sure what you are babbling about.  The gameplay trailers I have seen look pretty good.

Individualized intro stories...NPCs...long story and involved plot written by proven writers...a return to more challenging tactical combat...a branching class tree...

Sounds good to me.

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.

If you have any concerns wait around a bit and see what people think about it.

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

Mass Effect was awesome except the combat was just not as satisfying as BG...the same with KOTOR.  To me this looks like a return to what worked in the past.

This and other trailers don't exactly fill me with confidence that this is going to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate rather than something aimed at Xboxtards.  Hopefully it's just EA's marketing team

It's just the marketing team.  Like the crap when Interplay tried to market PS:T as a game where you get to have sex with HOTT demon chicks.

But I am getting it at release so I will let all you know how it is if you need a player review before you get it.

Since the PC version of the game was done awhile back, and we have been waiting for the console version for months, there is even a review of the finished game out there already.

I remember the night that we first got a look at that video.  It was poker night, and everybody was pretty unhappy with it.  EA Marketing  is made out of fail.
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 won't be buying it, but I am interested what people will be saying about, esp. Valmy.

anyhow, there are a couple of BG-style (w. isomorphic views and actual hand-drawn maps) PC indy games in the works that have taken 5 years plus to make. but unlike Dragon Age, I don't know if any of them will be ever finished.

Such as?
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.

there's a czech one called Inquisitor  (where you torture people as part of the plot) and another one which is fantasy post apocalyptic. can't find my bookmarks atm. I am sure there's more.

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