    a RPG like that would feel much better on a PC anyway. so i'd say do it  
    your call, though. i'd keep it if you're really enjoying the PS3 version right now

    I'm actually gonna get it for PC cuz I like the UI better. So I'd say yeah totally get it for PC. Bioware makes good PC games imo. :)

    I'd say depends on whether or not your computer can run it and at what settings. Also whether you would accept the settings that it is at.
     
    I am playing it on the 360.. I would love to play it on the PC but my PC couldn't run it much above the minimum requirements and I would hate to have all the graphics turned way down like that. 
     
    I just started so being 11 hours in.. I would say its not worth the switch unless you REALLY want the UI.

    I was surprised to find that my fairly modest PC runs this at 1080p at a very high framerate. I turned off anti-aliasing (I don't find that it helps much at high resolutions.) which I'm sure helped. I have everything set at high, and I'm very pleased. I have a Pentium Dual Core 2.0GHz (not a Core 2) with 2GB RAM and a recently purchased HD4850 video card. I probably have $350-$400 in the whole build right now.

    It is definitely worth it to switch to the PC version if you can run it fairly well.
