For everyone mentioning The Witcher, it was definitely an influence on Dragon Age (as was Aristotle, George R. R. Martin, and The Faerie Queen).

OH GOD YES, it could only come from Bioware, the perfect choice system...
I WAS BROUGHT ON THESE GAME ALREADY, but it just seems so good...I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CHOICE...Hmmm, I think I may end up preordering the games collectors edition, I want it so bad.

Already had it preordered simply because it was Bioware. They are one of two studios that have never let me down.
I have high hopes for this and Alpha Protocol. Both seem to be using a similar style of moral ambiguity, which considering that Obsidian is made up of a bunch of Black Isle expats is not much of a shock.

Where is the "Stuff you pockets with holy man's ashes - Just in case" option?
-Destroy the ashes and your buddies
-Keep the ashes there and risk losing it to the evil ones, but keep all your buddies
-Take all the ashes with you - no risk in losing it to the evil ones, infinite supply of healing stuff, and a few of your buddies might be able to settle with that idea.
But I suppose those choices are slightly better than most others. I'm looking forward for Dragon Age, anyway.

Yay, another obvious black and white "moral" decision with easily foreseen consequences gets pimped as the new s$#t, great.
Bioware cannot do anything more complex than a simple black and white choice. But they can and will jump hoops just so they can present it as something new

You don't think a few folks just might take issue with you shoving the singlemost important icon of their religion in your rucksack?Monocle Man said:
Seriously, how is that black and white?deep_dish said:
BioWare is the ONLY company that seems to understand how to recreate the feeling of actual difficult decisions in a game environment. Now I wish Bethesda would study them and implement some of their concepts in their games and that Obsidian had paid closer attention to Baldur's Gate when designing Neverwinter Nights.
Oh yeah? To steal a holy artifact or not to steal a holy artifact? One can add all kinds of "but" to it, it won't change the essence of a choice - bad[steal] or good[not steal]Amnestic said:
Edit 1: Oh yeah, and "kill a few, save a thousand" is just as overused and cliche as "with great power comes great responsibility"
I hope this works how it says it does, it sill sounds pretty black and white, just with more consequences, hear me out. The example they give you in the game is that there is the dragon blood thing, there are many effects of your consequences which are stated in the article, but it still sounds like it's either use the blood to revive the king, or don't. Is it just me seeing this? Anyway I don't want to knock the game in any way it looks superb and i'll definatly be picking it up regardless
Hah, if only I could upgrade it again. No no my friend, sadly I can't, the new PS3 will slurp up all available money. If only they would give an estimate of the system specs, that'd make me happy. Well maybe someone here can give me a rough guess, my system is:Amnestic said:If it can't, the only answer is to upgrade it. I daresay that for a game like this, there'll probably be a solid modding community. Maybe not the size of the Elder Scrolls/Fallout 3, but still sizeable nonetheless. Wouldn't want to miss out on all those delicious mods now, would you?Assassinator said:

It's all supposed to run on 1920X1680 on the highest possible settings. If I can't do that: console it is.
Except Steal also has save the dying king which could potentially rally more people to your aid, inspire your troops and give you all healing powers. Not steal leaves the Urn more vulnerable to it being stolen by the bad guys, which is decidedly bad.deep_dish said:
It's blatantly not a black and white choice.
