RE: can we get a real topic going?
It's a good game, but you would probably be annoyed by the faux D&D design.
* party-based tactical combat -- max four members
* kind of a cross between Neverwinter Nights 2 and KotOR
* no real ownage moments -- enemy is nearly always superior in numbers and strength/spell power, but not smart -- player scrapes by with superior tactics
* very story-driven -- lots of dialogue -- but these elements are actually good this time -- it's the best thing BioWare has ever done, imo
* not D&D, but BioWare's own "streamlined" system of spells, skills, etc.
I like it. I played a dwarf noble melee fighter in my first run-through. I'm presently playing an elf rogue. Elves in this game are as unappealing as you might imagine, so this was a mistake. Dwarves are better. I haven't played humans, though I suspect that they're only marginally less faggoty than elves.
