I've only just twigged. This is a single-player game, isn't it?

it is as they wanted the best single player game they could make without balance issues etc

well yes a great game but................................

did they really have to put a npc in the game saying to you hey we have more great content for you why dont you whip out your credit card and buy this extra content.

does bioware not realise its an rpg where immersion is the name of the game.

if i had known it had a dlc npc in the game i would not have bought it even if the game was the best one ever produced.

just for the principle of it.

Have ordered this online from Game - had £10 worth of points to redeem against it - only cost me £14.99!
Yay for me!  ;D

Fingers crossed it will arrive tomorrow.

You'll lose days once it does arrive, its that good :)

Graphically its jaw dropping on a par with certain parts of Lotro for me (with DX10 ofc), plot is great, Biowares IP is brilliant if a little done to death in fantasy.

Just wish there was an auto loot!

I'm looking forward to it - not sure if I will get chance to play it until the weekend (damn work keeping me busy!) - Bioware are another Company like Blizzard IMO, they don't make many games but what they do do are always very good.

Still waiting....
Gameplay said they'd use a courier service to avoid delays caused by the mail strike - so either the courier service is darn slow, or they only use courier for UK deliveries.

O well, I only just finished Stalker, and I still have the Witcher and Mass Effect on the shelf. Plus I'll be working every day this week....I was hoping to get it before this weekend, but now it really doesn't matter too much any more.  :-\

52hrs in, 25% of game done and 55% of the world finished.  Its epic...

52hrs in and only 25% done! Sheesh! Its huge!

Got it, started as a Mage and absolutely loving it so far. And what is unusal for me is that I am finding the storyline engaging. There are points in the game that I have thought, what if I had done something differently, would it affect the outcome of certain events?

Its totally engaging!

I worked out that the different origins will add to the total %age done, but yeah its MASSIVE!

I keep playing it and wondering how good it would be as the basis for an MMO - the world is very fleshed out with one of the best stories I have seen, even if at times its a touch clichéd.

Finally finished my first playthrough....

Said it before, but epic game is epic.  The story trails off for a while once you have done some certain things, but for the ending i got it sure picked itself up!
