First. First time I've said that ever.

Looks good. Glad it's coming out somewhat soon.

What if I FIGHT these ogres in mud...What if I told you we wouldn't be "fighting" in the traditional sense?

In all seriousness, is it so much to ask that enemies actually react when you hit them? This has been an RPG troublespot for some time.

This is the new shit.

seems pretty good, but I'm curious as to where all of the memory is coming from in this game since to be honest it isn't the most graphically impressive games ever. I mean that 20G's of required memory has to be coming from somewhere...let's hope it's a helluva lot of well written dialog.

Am I the only one who thinks this game looks ridiculously bland and generic?

looks pretty bad ass... too bad my PC would go into the fetal position upon purchase. it'll be on 360 as well right?

@RipTheVeins:

It's been described as a HUGE game by the developer's. In term's of Length, side mission's, depth and character development. Hopefully These thing's are what fill the new age system requirements of Dragon Age: Origin's.

And I'm guessing: "YES THEY ARE!". I guess this becuase there isn't a single game that I can think of, that bioware has made that I don't LOVE!!!!!

EDIT: I just realised that I might be a Bioware fanboy, lol! In this case though, I'll let myself off. Since Bioware do genuinely good STORY driven games, not completely graphics intensive.

Also it occur's to me that like COD4. If you get it on the PC, the highest graphical setting is meduim. This is really annoying. But point's out that a lot more game's that are multi-platform will more commonly be less graphic's intensive on the PC version. That's my 2 cents guess anyway.
And I might be really wrong...

This looks like exactly what I want out of a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. Its gonna be a good day when I can go pick this up.

Needs some music.

let's hope the story and skill/dialouge trees are better than that combat...

Do you have any idea at the scope this game is promising? The sheer amount of RPG elements that's been pumped in to the game is sheer madness! If you're talking about the combat, I agree.. it could do with a bit more work.

Yikes, I'm not bashing the quality of the game or anything, I'm sure it'll still be awesome, but I just lost a ton of enthusiasm for this game, I thought it was supposed to be some kind of action RPG. This is clearly a more traditional long HP bar, wail-on-the-bad-guys-with-the-same-animations-until-they-die affair.

Stang on July 8, 2009

Wow. How fucktastically unspectacular. I prefer watching water boil honestly.

RVonE on July 8, 2009

UNSOLD.

Looks like it plays exactly like KOTOR minus lightsabers and force powers plus swords and magic.

Aarny on July 8, 2009

Looks alright. Just your traditional RPG stuff..

Metal_Mills on July 8, 2009

If this wasn't Bioware I'd say this was will be garbage. I hope they haven't lost their way. :(

jaks on July 8, 2009

Yep. Looks like Dark Heroic Fantasy™ to me.
