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.

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.

Neil: help a brutha out! :P

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 :lol:  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"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

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.
