Playing through the first one now, and while I like it - the choices are particularly well integrated - I hate the dull fantasy setting and the combat just seems bland to me. Probably in stark contrast to everyone else here :P There's a lot to like, but even though Mass Effect's sci-fi setting isn't the most original either, I enjoyed spending time in that world more-so than the elves/dwarves etc world of Origins. Still playing though, because despite the blandness of the setting I think Bioware's strengths show through in the amount of ways you can tackle problems which is even greater than the scope of ME2. Just a shame there's so much fantasy rubbish in between
Obviously won't be on board for a second 'til I finish Origins (and have the ultimate edition so it's gonna be a while!) but if the writing and world are more interesting this time around, there's a lot of potential. Still think Mass Effect is my Bioware franchise of choice though.0 -

Yeah i really enjoyed Dragon Age, its rare i play a game all the way through and this one i did. But the story/setting was very generic and mostly uninteresting, couldnt be bothered to read all the codex stuff. Mass Effect on the other hand was one of the rare times in a game i read/listened every single bit of information i could, just found it far more interesting.
What kept me playing Dragon Age was the combat though, on Nightmare it was very strategic and challenging. From what ive heard thats all gone now, and if all im left with is story/characters then well, i couldnt really care.0 -

Well it isjust over 1Gb of a download, if they were to try cram it into the box it woudl have been a two disc job and they probably had scheduled for it in the pressing factory. At least they gave the option rather than leaving it with the same lower res textures as the consoles.
And only review I have seen so far is PCGamer UK with a 94% score.
GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
RPG of the decade they said
Really excited about this game, cant wait.0 -

i have this on pre-order so it will probably arrive early next week
just as well as i wanted to get into the mood for it so played Risen which was decent and only finished it last night so it may be too soon for me to go straight into another big game
might load up a good shooter in the meantime to blow the cobwebs out before starting into it, Black Ops any good?
