Anyone watching this game? Im hearing it compared to Bauldars Gate:

Dragon Ageâ„¢ is a blockbuster fantasy role-playing game set in a vast new world created by BioWare.

Your adventures will take you across the kingdom of Ferelden. Explore blood-soaked battlefields, ancient forests and intriguing urban settings. Resist the corrupting power of magic as you discover the abandoned wizard's tower; then descend into the halls of a dwarven kingdom. But beware! Dwarven politics may prove as deadly as their blades. This is a world as real as our own, but where the dark allure of magic ultimately shapes every facet of society. It is a world where willpower and cunning can claim a kingdom!

Explore Dragon Age through a deep, cinematic storyline. Choose how you interact with the other inhabitants of the world: your interactions will influence how this immersive world changes in reaction to larger-than-life world events. Build a party of unforgettable companions you can befriend, romance, or simply exploit. Engage in tactically challenging, party-based combat against a cast of diverse opponents. In Dragon Age you will uncover hidden magic, battle horrific creatures, and challenge power-hungry nobles.

I've been watching this closely for years. It's being written and created by Bioware and it's what they chose to make instead of Baldur's Gate III which is what we wanted them to make most of all

I have very high hopes for Dragon Age and can't wait for it to see the light of day.

Knowing Bioware and their flair for RPGs, that will not be the case.

It's like comparing KOTOR to Star Wars Lego. Both are good but KOTOR is the truely absorbing game that was destined to become a classic from the moment it was created.

Im sure as a bioware game the story and artwork will be top notch, but it certainly doesnt mean that a story with elves and dwarves will be nothing more than an alternate NWN. Sure different story, slightly different setting, but still a fantasy genre. I'm sure it will still have thedesert, lava, forrest, water levels.

Though I still havent played Jade Empire.

Exactly what I thought for the portion I did play of it. NWN = KOTOR with Elves. I'm pretty certain Mass Effect is similar too.
