This was my first thought upon hearing the situation, so I was disappointed that it was never mentioned.KarumaK said:
Sounds good, if anyone can finally give us some good choices to make in games, it's Bioware. I've long since given up hope of getting anything but black and white choices from Lionhead....
So basically they're trying to do what The Witcher already did extremely well. I wish them the best.
Yes yes yes! Moral ambiguity! Grey! Sweet, delicious grey! Yet another reason for me to love BioWare!
Fanboyism aside, that particular scenario sounds absolutely brilliant. For the record, I think the Baldur's Gate series did handle the moral choices very well, but they had nothing on this. This sounds like it's going to be a very, very good game. I just wonder if it will live up to its claim to being the spiritual sequel to Baldur's Gate.
If it does, I'm going to have to upgrade my PC.

I cannot wait for this game! A couple of days ago I was all "meh" about this game, now I've seen the previews and I'm giddy like a schoolgirl!
*Teehee*
Finally, some real moral choices in gaming.

First game to make their moral decisions count? I believe fallout one and two did that long before any bioware rpg.Susan Arendt said:
BioWare's done well with the more nuanced of moral choice systems. KOTOR was probably the most clear cut good/evil divide, but that was because they were working within an established mythology and the Jedi/Sith thing is fairly obvious. But I thought they did a good job in Mass Effect:
And now there's all the talk about your choices being reflected in ME2. So I think BioWare knows what they're doing. I'm psyched for Dragon Age and excited to relive my Baldur's Gate experiences on a new console.
Do you keep alive the last remaining member of a thought-extinct species? Her kind fought huge wars with all aliens a couple centuries ago. She says she's not like that, but do you trust her? Do you commit genocide? And your party members may argue with you one way or another on the whole thing.

Good gods I can't wait for this. Only...PC, or console? Can my PC handle it? So many questions, and I múst pre-order a collectors edition soon!
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:
