I really want this game to not suck. :(

I am kind of nervous at this point - my expectations are probably much higher than they ought to be.

I played around with the character generator and it seems kinda neat.  The trailer they tacked on at the beginning was nothing special though.  I guess I am really tired of the fantasy genre as every game seems to be thematically identical to me now...

As long as there is a boob size slider for chicks, I'm good.

Sould Calibur 4 lets you adjust curves and muscle mass of female characters you generate.

Laptop should be able to run this btw, so I'll re-preorder.

I liked the plot part of it...it is not exactly a new story but I like it.  The actiony parts of the trailers are rather meh but everytime I see something showing the actual game instead of some sort of cinematic combat stuff I really like it.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Here's a 20min~ gameplay video: http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-dragon-age-origins/17-1477/

Yeah, this is the video that convinced me it might be really good

The story in the game actually seems quite interesting

Nice, though the blood spatter should wear off a bit quicker for artistic reasons, I guess. :D

Reeks of MMORPGR.
I get everything but the last 'R'.
Sorry.  I'm a follower of Zero Punctuation, and he pronounces MMORPG as "memmorpegger".  So I just threw in that extra R.

I meet the absolute minimum requirements.   :lol:

20 gigs is huge though.  I may have to buy an external hard drive to make room for this.

I dunno, I have a hard time caring. I'm kind of tired of fantasy RPGs, at least fantasy that's Tolkien. Why not Jade empire 2?

Slargos

This does actually look pretty good.

But the guys doing the talking both need to die in a fire.

After watching the City Elf tube, I'm pretty much hooked.

For once they have the balls to bring some originality to the table.

Keeping my fingers crossed for another story on the level of Planescape torment.  :)
