There's no for-pay item DLC that I'm aware of. Everyone gets the blood dragon armor.
Yeah, the only thing nifty about the blood dragon armor is if you buy DA you get similar looking armor in ME2. |

DoktorZee_BioWare: For WormFOODx - User created content is a big part of the game on PC (as the tools launch at the same time as the PC version) and we are exploring the options for taking across the best user-created content from PC to PS3. Obviously this is something we need to work out with Sony, but we're hopeful it can happen as it would be super-cool. No plans whatsoever. Buy it on PC. Actually, I read that as: The Witcher was awesome in releasing extra content as part of a Special Edition. We're going to do the same, only without the pesky part of actually creating the content. |

Yeah, if I could find the Johnny Cash Middle Finger Neti Pot picture again, I'd send it to EA and Bioware. |

Really? A couple of days is being screwed? Ask Australia about L4D2. That's being screwed. You're just impatient.
My copy is in the USPS, so hopefully I get it by xmas. I probably won't have time to play it until after the holidays anyway, with all the stuff on my plate.

Meh, the DLC thing is pretty shitty but that's not much of karma (or maybe too much) Now if it was only the DLC that got leaked, instead...  |

Sort of on this topic; i know the disc-based version is supposed to only come with disc check, but does anyone know what (if any) kind of DRM is used for the direct2drive version? Not sure if i want to get some fancy Securom in a fresh windows 7 install and skimming through Google finds didn't bring anything conclusive...

The US version comes out on Wednesday because it is traditional, and the EU version comes out on Friday, because it's also traditional. Note the complete lack of mention of customers, those greedy leeches, in this situation. |

Does anyone know what the movement is like for this game? Is it the same style as Mass Effect and Kotor or is it more like Balders Gate, and Neverwinter Nights?

Virtually every PC game since the dawn of the Internet? Before its released to the public? Not so much. It's one day before release, so a lot of retailers should already have it in their stores. If you don't think this is a common occurance, you just haven't been paying attention (you do know that the 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 has been leaked already right, so it's not even just PC games this is happening with?). |

Irrelevant, most games are not leaked before they hit the streets. It happens, its not common.

It seems like it happens with most big games any more. Street dates are always getting broken.

Oh god stop talking about it.
If a game has a street date, it's generally leaked before launch because it's shipped before launch (well-before, typically).
If a game doesn't have a street date, it probably won't even make it to stores before launch, let alone get leaked.
If a game is sent to every reviewer with no checks for legitimate sites in place (indie stuff mostly), it will get leaked before launch.
If a game is sent to retailers on ship day and the press people know all the PR folks they're sending it to, it won't get leaked.
If a game requires online activation to decrypt or add to the EXE (in the case of say, Bioshock), it will not get leaked because it is missing vital information.
Now STFU and stop derailing the thread.

Did you play Baldur's Gate 1 when it came out? I remember that feeling of going "WOW" at the graphics of the painted backgrounds. When I zoomed out in this game it was just like that. Instant tenting. Some people will zoom in obsessively and go "blah" but it hit the sweet spot , for me, of that sort of beauty that BG brought to rpg's. Everything about the interface just screams "haha gamepad you can't touch this". The camera works perfectly and is exactly what NWN2 should of been. I'm sure they cobbled something together but this stuff is clearly PC first console second. Of course after the total consolization of Borderlands it might just be standing out in contrast. The dialogs are pure awesome. The first guy you really talk (as a mage anyways) to has just craploads of stuff to say and you just keep clicking and reading and OMG . The actual rpg system feels solid too. None of that halfassed crap they put in Jade Empire or Mass Effect. Stats and skills and weird interactions and prestige class type things. The combat is pure Infinity Engine meets 2009  . Of course this is all just my pure lust for a real BG style sequel and if you were waiting for something else I don't know how you'll like it. It's definitely a real god damn RPG though. |

Everything about the interface just screams "haha gamepad you can't touch this". From a gameplay video i saw the console version has quite different control scheme which seems to fit the gamepad well. This is not to say the game isn't "PC first then ported" but just, if someone was shown only the console version they'd probably get the opposite impression. Pretty cool they put such effort in both releases. |

Pretty cool they put such effort in both releases. Now that I'm more into the game I think I see what they did. They have a sort of AI thing similar to FF12. I haven't fiddled with it but I can see how it would make the game at least playable on a console. Some stuff though I'm curious how they'll handle. Like the game has friendly fire and this makes lining up AoE's pretty important. Fiddling with player positioning can often require you to have all your characters moving to specific locations all at the same time. I'm sure it's possible on the console but I can't imagine it's quite as good. Plus you have obvious stuff that's just always better on a pure PC UI like inventory managment. I hope the console version is good though. I want this to sell well and not be like "oh look that game was fail because it was a PC port". |

This is supposedly toned down a lot in the console version, precisely because it's much more difficult to control with the control scheme they have going in the console version. Side-effect is, console version is easier in comparison. ( source) |

My plan is to buy the 360 version since my laptop only meets min specs. But now I'm a bit worried. Suggestions?
