Probably not. It plays extremely similarly to KoToR (but a little deeper), and is very much in the Bioware style, which seems to be something you dislike quite a bit. If you must, I'd suggest you wait for a demo, at the very least.
I also admire that on the 360 version, you have to realize to ignore the first screen which asks you to input a code for DLC and instead choose to input an EA code instead. I was thrown for minute when I realized that it was asking for a 25 character code, and I only had 16 characters in the provided one.
Oh, and I got the dog as a Dalish elf. I don't think there's a class restriction on it.

regarding the bioware social website, can i just log in using my ea account that i setup for bad company that is already linked to my live account? or do i have to create a seperate bioware account?
i know in the past, EA hasn't done a good job of streamlining this like bad company where people coudlnt link their account or redem their codes.

Ive played about 5hours today.
still in the first town, heck i chatted with Aliastar for like an hour, he has alot to say.
As for as textures, I think they are fine.. of course im playing on a standard def, so i bet it wouldnt be noticeable I guess
Framerate is leaps an bounds better than Mass Effect, gameplay wise its smooth with no screen tearing.
sometimes in the cutscenes, specially with alot of models on screen it will stutter/jerky.
Still, plays pretty darn good.

With Bioware I usually do my darndest to avoid any of the romance stuff and I still end up playing a female most of the time. And I'd say it not even the "I'd rather look at at a female as opposed to a guy for 50 hours thing." I think it's just that since I often like to play my character as a tremendous jerk having my character be a different gender keeps a level of separation between me and the character and lets me do evil stuff more readily without feeling guilty. Plus there is something always a little enjoyable about being a total hardcase killer as a 5'2" female elf as opposed to some Conan-esq barbarian dude.
Anyone have tips for the first boss? I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to win; currently running around in circles with my last living party member :lol
And yeah, this is a pretty lovely game. I can't imagine how it's like playing on consoles, the top-down view has been pretty crucial for me during combat.

Use fraps like the man says.Aptos said:
You can turn on the console, going on the toolset wiki you can't do much but run scripts with the console anyway.
"The in-game console is normally not accessible. To enable it run the game with a command line parameter "enabledeveloperconsole". Then, when the game is running, press the tilde key (~) to bring up the console. This is a prompt in the upper left corner of the screen. The console was used extensively in development for debugging and testing purposes, but in the finished version of the game there's only one console command available; "runscript". "

I just got my copy today. Is there anyway this will run on a 9400M?

I don't have windows installed on my mac yet, I'm just curious if any other people have tried it.
A bit of the score difference gamespot gave the 360 version and ps3 version. I'd imagine the improved framerate on the 360 and the improved texture quality on the ps3 would ultimately have the two equal out in terms of "technical visual performace."
Oh well, nobody really gives a shit.
QUESTION about difficulty 360:
I want to be challenged, though I'm no masochist - does the game on normal do a good job of giving you a run for it's money. I'm not too experienced in this genre, but I like challenging games and I'm pretty good and figuring things out in term of mechanics before I head into things. Again, not lookign to get my ass kicked by every random rat that runs around, but nothing pisses me off more in an RPG when you so many options and upgrades and items etc., yet the game is stupid easy where none of which is required.
Thanks

In game achievement system linked to your bioware social account is interesting. Too bad it isn't steamchieves though.
Did you make sure to activate it under your Dragon Age account you created when you logged into the game?
My stuff popped up right away after a restart.

My DLC still isn't activating either....

Ok I redeemed my codes, and they downloaded, but they are not listed under the installed category. How do I install them or tell that they are installed? I have the blood armor, and it says you get 1 piece immediately, but it is not in my inventory. I don't want to get far into the game if I will have to restart to get this. I'm playing a mage if that matters.

Yea, everything downloaded in the 2nd tab, but never installed to the third tab. So I have like 8 bonus content stuff at 100% downloaded, but not installed.
The Social site isn't recognizing my Game disc key, which is probably the hold-up. My DLC keys were recongnized.
For people finding their character's faces are different: I had the same thing happen, my dude was randomly slapped with a tattoo. He looks better now but still. Weird.
Your character will TOTALLY change if you click ANY setting by accident instead of just clicking next straight through though. Had to back out like 4 times to get the import right :lol
Also, my DLC download was switching from 29% to 30% and back to 29 and 30 repeatedly for like 3 minutes straight. I though that shit only happened in comic strips.

I made a serious attempt at finding out for you, and the only answers I found were that it should be ok on low, depending on resolution. The 9400M falls below the required specs, so that's the main problem.
I did enjoy seeing other people calling the 9400M "not a graphics card" in the Bioware thread

Gotcha.
My guess is no, though. 9400M struggles with non-Valve and Blizzard games.
