Give yourself a treat. Get this game.
I have no installation problems whatsoever. I am playing on Vista 32 bit, 2.6 Dual Core, ATI 4870 512mb,4 Gb RAM.
I understand about 20Gb of harddisk space will be required. But it is well worth every Gb
Loadtimes? They vary between 1sec to 15secs, perhaps due to a new story arc or branch that I reach, or new items equipped.
So, I have no technical issues.
The content? What a tremendous amount and of such high quality, and immensely replayable. Top-notch and unsurpassed voice acting with Morrigan (Claudia Black) being a standout.
Lots of cutscenes which really do flesh out the updated format of Neverwinter Nights 1. And yes, the decisions do change the storyline and quests, and no, the cutscenes are not running linear or on rails, you make the choices at cross-roads. And may I add even moving, without giving out more spoilers.
You play one main character and you get to control 3 others.
And you get to romance and seduce too, which is an additional and fun dimension.
A lot of play value : 3 classes, 4 specialisations and considering your choice of weapons to focus on, and you get to decide which ally to take along, 4 difficulty settings.
Dungeon crawls, and tactical fighting galore. Even on Normal difficulty, you are forced to pause and fight turn-key style as opposed to real-time, and quaff potions every cycle, just to survive. It is that fun.
Plus the inventory management is fun, almost perfect. I enjoy looting everything, amassing the coin to upgrade my characters, hoard items...
Yes, the cloth map is bad, and fraying, just get it stitched up and seamed.
You SHOULD also get the DownLoadable Content : Warden's Keep, just for the Storage chest.
And also get the Character Creator program, so you get a free ring, with +1 to all stats.
To date, the BioWare DAO forum seems lively, and I get the feeling that there will be more good DLCs.Get more detail about Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition.
