Really? No hype for Bioware's next great RPG, Dragon Age? After KOTOR and Mass Effect I look forward to all of Bioware's releases. It's supposed to be released November 3rd 2009.

Is the game SP only?
Shows on the game site I'm on. But it also says it gets released tomorrow. I'm thoroughly impressed by that OP's vid, it looks nice but I guess that's not ingame xD I might pick it up (or buy it for cheap from an ebay kind of thingy) after I finished MW2 and AC2.
Btw, it looks like Oblivion Also can't believe this is the first time hearing about it.

OMG EPIC.
Best game I have played in a really long time and I have bought pretty much every game worth buying. I don't even like these kind of games!
So I set out on talking to different factions so we can form a super alliance and take down the bad guys. Doing this, you travel across the world visiting different places, talking to people, and ultimately forming the alliance.
I just finished one where I was at "The Circle". This organization, I guess, is like the jedi for mages. And here is what I came across, and why the game is amazing:
Spoiler!
It starts off with some classic Diablo 1 dungeon crawling, except you control 4 guys and it feels like a 5-man WoW instance.
Making my way up the tower, I start to dialog with a demon and i'm presented with a moral dilemma. There's a demon seducing a knight. He's completely oblivious of the real World (kind of like Matrix) and she controls his mind satisfying all of his needs and his wants. The reason she does this, I find out, is just because she wants to know what it's like to be mortal. She is giving him the things he wanted and he could never get, but he is not aware that none of it is real. I'm faced with a decision: do I let her control him and continue forward or stand up against her and force her to stop? I stand up against her and she uses her mind controlling to turn the knight on me totally ruining the whole point of killing her and setting him free.
So I lick my wounds and keep going. Eventually I come up against another demon, a stronger demon. He manages to put my whole party to a slumber state and I awake in a dream World. This dream world is Alice-in-Wonderland farked up. There are 5 islands that I have to go through, killing monsters in my dream. As I meet other people that have been seduced, they transfer me their powers. I use the powers interchangeably at any time like a druid in WoW. I have a rat form letting me crawl through holes, a spirit form that lets me go through spirit gates, a burning man form which allows me to walk trough flames unharmed, and a golem form that lets me break down locked doors. Each of these forms have unique attacks. You use these forms to make it through the islands' bosses and then you use them to kill the bosses. As you complete islands, it unlocks side islands where you find each member of your party, one by one, and set them free (either by killing the demon that is seducing them, convincing them that what they are experiencing isn't real, etc). After setting them all free, you take on the demon who seduced you.
What I didn't mention is that in this dream world you meet a guy who was on the same mission as you, and that the demon has been feeding off of to fuel his powers. He helps you with your quest by giving you an item and then you continue on up the tower.
You meet a knight that isn't sure if you are real or a demon seduction thing. He explains that you need to go upstairs and kill the leader of the baddies. He says you need to kill EVERYONE to ensure the leaders of the mage-jedi thing are tainted. You get to decide once more, if that is what you want to do.
This whole section could have been a game on its own. Instead it represents like 5% of the gameplay.
I killed a super boss only to free a guy to let a templar guy know that he doesn't need to nuke the jedi base. This makes the good boss guy happy who says he will join my cause.
This is EPIC.
I must also add that at first the interactions and stuff were amazing but the combat sucked. Then I unlocked more party members and after having tweaked their skills and my composition, the combat is amazing. As mentioned in my spoiler, it feels like a WoW 5-man instance but with you controlling everyone. There's also a Mass Effect pause thing where you queue up actions which makes it manageable.
Started a couple hours into the game. So far I've been spending ALOT of time reading the codex and trying to understand the background of the game. Kind of complex with all the different kingdoms and not sure what teyrns are but I'll figure it out.

But it's hack 'n slash and not turnbased right? =/ Cuz I hate turnbased haha ^_^
Like I said I'll try to find a cheaper copy once I finish MW2/AC2, but I'm sure it'll be, quoting Dom, EPIC.

Well, that's it, I'm convinced... but... Modern Warfare coming out in less than a week. I'll just wait til Dragon's Age goes down in price.
