Yep. It was much better than the "MUAHAHAHA I'M EVIL" ending or the "Save the Galaxy" ending. I still don't why they decided to take that out of the game though. I wish someone would ask them that.

Baldur's Gate II: Being applauded at a ceremony by the forces of good.
KOTOR: Being applauded at a ceremony by the forces of good on a platform OR taking over the galaxy.
Jade Empire: Being applauded on a platform OR taking over the empire.
Mass Effect: Being congratulated by the forces of good OR taking over the galaxy.
Let's hope this pattern does not continue.

I'm kind of curious how the combat systems and the D&D rules will evolve from previous bioware rpg's.
I wish that BioWare would make a D&D (4th) rule game again. Something in the Forgotten Realms or Eberron campaign setting... the D20 system rocks.
(EDIT) I miss Drizzt Do'Urden and Elminster. The continent of Faerûn has so much lore, history and places to adventure in it's a shame it isn't BioWare's top priority.
But I'm still intrigued by the Dragon Age world. The one in Mass Effect was detailed and vast so they could pull it off once more and make a believable setting.

Cant wait for this, hopefully we get some kind of indication as to which direction Bioware have taken the game, it's been so long since NWN (or BG2 if you want to get more excited), it'll be interesting to see where it sits on a BG -> KOTOR -> ME scale of Bioware philosophy.

Want to get excited but I don't know if they can... if the game completely changes on which past you pick for your character I'm sold (I mean the world and major events are the same but you'll be doing different things during them) If it's just a few lines like in every other BW game I'm guessing it will be a disappointment.

Damn. I haven't really liked any of the recent Bioware games, what are the chances.

I wish not, I really find the D&D battle system hard to get to grips with. I am currently playing BG2 and i’m playing on easiest mode and still get mystified with all the spells and items which is better and what does what.
Like right now I cant even figure out how to revive fallen party members. They expect you to know the lore of D&D universe before hand.
I hope to god Dragon Age dont use D&D battle system.
Can't wait! I love that they are developing completely new world for it. I'm saturated with old horses like Forgotten realms and star wars universe.
Creating a new setting takes a lot of time, but you have no limits whatsoever, I'm expecting great things from DA. Do not let me down, Bioware!

And for people who have held one of these before, along with all those other books you see down there, the system is second nature with no learning curve required. Which is great for immersion, and adds a bit of fun to the game, already understanding all the lore of the game. I guess it works both ways.

I don't think it's a PC dev thing per se, but more of a Bioware specific thing. They have a very well earned repuatation in development circles as being a company that has long and brutal crunch cycles when developing their games. This sort of development process isn't super-keen on producing an extremely polished product (though they are usually pretty solid, at least on the PC where I played the games).
As for Dragon Age-It's been almost seven years now since now since Bioware released a PC exclusive game. I've played the other games and found them somewhat wanting in areas-good games, but specifically they've fallen up short when it comes to combat mechanics, character/party customization, and interesting itemization, all key factors in why I loved their old Infinity Engine games so much in the first place. I've felt that they have also lost a lot of nuance in their dialogue in the move to full voice acting, and hope that they'll not VA everything in Dragon Age and let me read more.
Really I wish Bioware would release three screenshots-one of their skill system, one of the stats page, and one showing off the unique and interesting loot in the game. That would be awesome.

I've decided that I don't need BG2-level quantity, as long as there's BG2-level quality.Ventrue said:
