I meant more to get the mods to the 360, not so much the editor itself. Judging from the quicklook the console version of the game is perfectly fine.

Huh, well, I think that just determined that I'm going to be picking up the PC version, even if I don't plan to use the toolset myself, I want access to what other people are making.

The music kicked in and all I could think of was a bunch of old-school Apocalypse Tanks blasting through a wall and roaring onto the field in the midst of a huge battle.

So it actually WAS a Frank Klepacki track. Man, my ears are trained to spot his music. Great to see him keeping busy. The man deserves to have his music in as many games as possible.

Some of the mods i have played for NWN and NWN2 were great and i bet there will be some great ones for this game too. But we will probably have to wait a while after release cause the best mods usually take the longest time to finish. I'm really excited about this game. I'm just waiting for the collectors edtion now. What more can i say?

while i have no faith in average user creating good content, i'd love a Giantbomb episode of Dragon Age. 
 
i'd even be willing to pay for one saying its available for the 360 version.

Music sounded like a new Frank Klepacki track or something. Command & Conquer: Dragon Age.

Is there some reason I dont get ads on GiantBomb? Is it a Firefox thing? If so....i guess everyone should get firefox.

PLUS thats actually a really good idea. Some of those NWN2 mods were incredible.

YES
 
This will make Dragon Age roughly 10 times longer if the modding community is ANYTHING like, say, Neverwinter Nights or Oblivion.

@Bucketdeth: Agreed. What is up with bioware trailers lately and "the new shit"?  
 
Aside from the minor music choices in the trailers. I am SO psyched for this.

BioWare has stated they are in talks with Sony to find a way to bring modded content to the PS3 version, perhaps using the Unreal Tournament 3 model.

@Zeouterlimits: Until the EA buying of Bioware Dragon Age was looking to be PC only with a chance of a 360 port later on.

Is this the reason why the game looks so bad? So that they could have mod support?

I can't get my eyes off that Wacom either... I've seen many great mods spawn from NWN1, so I'm really liking this.

Depends on the nature of a mod. If it's like, a conversion style mod, where it basically makes a new game within an engine, a lot. If it's more like, making a level or a funny/neat thing, not as many. Skins can take a good long while, but tend to be really quick in comparison, unless it's a total rehash of the game. Also depends on the tools available, like here the time needed will extend both ways. THings will be easier, but you will be able to do a TON.

Depends on the scale of the mod. Some awesome mods can be done in weeks or months while others can take years. Some mods are essentially full games. :)

E X A C T L Y what I thought, when I saw that trailer days ago!
 
ONE(marketing sentence) about the tools (30sec max). The rest is the usual "Buy the game promo".
 
The EA Games/Bioware PR-machine has become annoying! BACK OFF - unless you pay Giantbomb for this secret ads! Then call them 'ads' b/c they are!
