installing right now. this better be fucking good, 'cause i've waited AGES for it. ^_^ calling it "the spiritual successor of baldur's gate" surely fueled teh hype machine. excited to see if it delivers. will report back in a few days i suppose. |

Definitely feels Baldursgatian to me. I'm playing it on casual because I never had the patience for the way BG battles played out... I'd go into battles not knowing what status effect the bastards were going to cast on me or themselves, then when they inevitably did cast something annoying, I'd reload, re-jig my magic stock, and try again... I just don't care for it, too trial-and-errorish. I haven't messed with much magic in this game, I'm playing warrior right now and may replay as a rogue, but the system seems a bit more user friendly. No D&D rules helps. I played the BG games almost entirely for the story (main and sidequests) and setting, and it's all very well done in this game. Worth talking to everyone and exploring the dialog trees, fun as usual to experiment with coercion, etc. Has the same basic flow too, just the right blend of linearity and freedom, sidequests/stories that stand on their own yet feel tied to the main story arc. |

Holy shit, a merchant just gave me a quest that sounds really fun, a haunted castle, fuck yeah, so I accepted and was prompted to pay 6.99 for it. Ohh, EA, how do I love thee? And the content is probably already on the hard drive. |

I'd like to get it on the PS3 but heard the gameplay is adjusted for consoles, you can't zoom out and combat is easier, can anyone confirm this? Bizarrely the x-box version is supposed to be the worst looking out of all of them. |
