So I finally downloaded the character editor just to get a taste of the game, what the fuck @ the only difference between elves, humans, and dwarves being their height. I'm not sure I can stomach elves and dwarves being perfectly normal looking.

The review you're talking about IIRC mentioned that the dungeons are linear, not the game itself. From what I understand the game world is like BG2, where quests you take open up areas on the world map to travel to and you have many options in where to go and what to do.

Nice OP
theres a dev post on the bioware forums somewhere saying controllers are not supported.botkiller said:
im hoping itll be feasible to use xpadder/pinnacle game profiler to do it, as i much prefer the idea of playing on the couch and no matter how many different combinations of tiny wireless keyboards/mice/track balls on lapdesks I've tried, keyboard and mouse just is not comfortable for long periods of time on the couch. which might mean dragging in the new htpc into the computer room for 80 hours of gameplay =/

That's not going to be enough, you'd need the entire console interface. Trying to control the PC version with some keys mapped to a controller isn't going to work.

I have no problems with a KB/M on the couch. Do you have a wireless keyboard and mouse? Sure you can't lay down or anything, but as long as I put my mouse on something that has enough height to be comfortable and keep the keyboard in my lap I have no problems at all.

Awesome OP :lol
Haven't decides if I gonna buy this on Steam or for my PS3. Waiting on console version impressions.

Is your PC capable of running the game well? If so, this really shouldn't be a question unless you hate using any human interface device that isn't a dual shock 3 or something.

Dude, you have the PC to run it and it's entirely singleplayer, so what's wrong with you?SailorDaravon said:

If the Giant Bomb quicklook of the 360 version is any indication the game looks like it will play just fine on the consoles.

Releasing shortly after I'm done with Uni for the year, excellent timing. Getting the PC version no question.
About the exploration thing...
I can't talk much, but I appreciate that the main difference between both is that secondary quests are much more in your face in Dragon Age. Basically they come to you and you can do them or not, but you really know they are there, while in BG II, you could be walking around and bam! you were fighting a Beholder, or jumping to another plane or doing epic stuff that you woud have never done without looking really hard and talking to everyone. That's how I see it.

Xpadder/Pinnacle both map the mouse to the sticks and can use shift states and such to allow for a lot of mapped keys. It being a single player game where you make most of your decisions in a paused enviroment, it should be some what feasible wihout a whole lot of worries about giving up competitive advantage like you would in a online game.
It really comes down to how many individual buttons are needed, because once you get into using a bunch of shifts it normally can be a bit nightmarish to play.
careksims said:Hahaha! Great Official Thread! Loved the Baldur Gate series. A friend and I are ready for this business! Hopefully the Steam boys give, at least me, a lot of time to pre-load this sucker! 20 gigs! Yikes!
Don't think it'll be a 20gig download, the install size is around 20gig. Would love to know the download size myself...

Not sure how trustworthy that source is. Ah well, 16gig is almost 20gig...

yeah... but... take a look at this

Yes there's pausing but I would not want to play this with a controller at all.
it's made for the keyboard and mouse. there's a ton of icons on the lower part of the screen for commands. there's a ton of enemies all over the screen that need to be dealt with. the mouse is made for this type of action. heck, the console version actually has fewer, but stronger, enemies to compensate
I mean, yes, technically, you can map the commands to the gamepad but...
