I don't mean to offend anybody but seriously, anybody who doesn't think Dragonage will be a great game is a fool.. . It's an rpg developed by Bioware and they have proven time and time again that all their games become blockbusters similiar to blizzard games.
If anything you can trust them even more because they only make rpgs and you pretty much know what you get compared to blizzards wider range of genres.
Of course it will ultimately come down to taste HOW much you will like the game, but as long as you like rpgs there is absolutley no question that you WILL get your moneys worth out of this game.
They haven't made a great one since BG2. Mass Effect is essentially an FPS with story and Jade Empire was a shallow action game. Both of those games were completely overrated by people because they have great graphics. Sorry, but both games sucked for me. I'm not a fan of FPS at all and that's not how real RPGs should be.

I liked the Witcher's dialogue system because there was no cookie-cutter good-or-evil decision to make. the lines were very grey and made for truly interesting and realistic social situations.
Many of the conversations could be done in any order you wanted so the emotions in characters' responses was often inconsistent or lifeless. One conversation branch might piss an NPC off, but then he's back to being your best friend when you ask him about something else. That really annoyed me, plus the protagonist was incredibly dull himself (I didn't get very far into the game before quitting).

I hope the class advancement/branching system works out well. I've always been a big fan of rpgs with class systems where you get to change and specialize after a certain point. There's a few reviews for the game out now which are all universally positive.

I'm a big fan of RPGs where I spend hours figuring out how I want to allocate my party's classes/talents/skills/abilities/whatchamacallits. The review I read seems positive but Bioware has disappointed me lately.

Damnit I have a huge exam I'm going to be studying for all weekend on the week this game comes out. Fuuucckkk it looks awesome though, I'm really glad they ditched the dnd ruleset. I just finished watching all the cinematics on their website, it looks like they're putting a lot of effort into story-telling and developing the characters, I think this will be a very good game. That's the main reason I couldn't enjoy Oblivion for very long, it was cool they built the world so fully and beautifully and the gameplay was passable, but the characters and inhabitants of the world were just so lifeless and un-compelling.

I enjoy Biowares games. I'll check this out.

Ouch, I've always hated USPS with a passion. I avoid buying from anywhere that doesn't offer ups/fedex.

It's the price (or lack thereof) that you pay for Super Saver Shipping and no sales tax. Amazon usually overestimates. I expect to have it in time for the weekend.

i have always gotten my games within 3 days of being shipped when choosing the free option with USPS.
amazon is amazing. you save like 7-8 bucks by not going to gamestop, and you don't have to listen to a bunch of employees trying to make you buy things used.

It might be due to not having a mailbox or just local driver/shipping center is dumb but they've lost a few packages and just in general been a pain so I stopped using them.Never had a problem with ups/fedex. The local ups guy always hides packages on my porch out of sight from the outside so I like using them for shipping =)
If anyone's interested my steam pre-load just finished, 10,755.2 MB downloaded(if steams bandwidth monitor is correct) and 15.2 GB unpacked in my steam folder.

Oh, I totally understand. When I lived up in Alaska, shipping was key in my buying decisions. I'd never fault anyone for buying from Steam, either -- good service. Plus, you'll have it on release day, unlike me!

They made a flash game promo version of this, and I played through that.
You can get achievements which will give you items in the real game if you play that.
[backstabbing with A BATTLE AXE? shit's hilarious]

Steam pre-loading!
This looks great, but I won't play before this weekend because of stupid midterms.
I wonder what kind of character I'll make this time... What about you?
