Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age? (Spoilers and plot discussion here)

Steam also provided a pre-load option which I just noticed early this morning.  Not sure if it was always there or whether they just added it.  It was probably always there and I just didnt notice it.  Anyway it should be downloaded by now.

Frankly, I hope this game is a blockbuster because the industry needs to see a successful RPG. They seem to have basically forgotten the genre exists the last couple years.

I'd love a Kotor 3.

You will have to settle with loving it in MMORPG form.

In other words you will get it as soon as Blizzard makes Warcraft 4.

Mine was downloaded Sun, but until about 10 mins ago It was "encrypted".
At 9am local time it's now decrypting and should have it up and running in about 15-20 mins.

Game is installed, see you guys in a few days.

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but just found out one piece of info that sold me on that game.

There is a bi male elven rogue you can romance.

I'm so in.

You should have expected that, as homosexual romances have been available in all Bioware games as far back as BG2.

Quick review-
So far so good, just starting the back story for my Dalish rogue (no marcin, he isn't bi), game looks pretty nice (have it on max settings at 1920x1080)
only thing i noticed so far was the character i created with the standalone creator didn't match up exactly visually upon import, also i haven't looked to find out about the item suppose to get with the CE edition.

update to the update-

shockingly the bioware servers are overloaded meaning i can't redeem the codes for the CE bonus stuff yet


Neil: help a brutha out!

Game reviews are essentially worthless.

Correct.

I just remember I read the Review of Bioshock on Gamespot where they refered to the game as a "Homage" to Ayn Rand   Almost every aspect was attack on her ideology.  The whole game was "Galt's Gulch underwater where everyone is turned into a monster and John Galt an utter failure on every level"

Me too.  Fallout was a huge shot in the arm for the RPG industry when it was released.  Hopefully this will do the same.

I think the takeaway here is that Objectivism just doesn't work when the wrong people try it.  People living on the bottom of the ocean, for example.
