Don't know if anyone cares, but the street for DA:O has been broken and is ready to be purchased for your gaming pleasure.
Just picked up my copy from EB now.

Yeah, I mean it's 129.95 for the special edition, bit of an ask but ah well.
If you buy from EB you get some random unlockable shit, but it sort of doesn't seem worth it. *shrug*

Yeah, I'm cut that I didn't get it while it was $55 US, I saw it when it first went up at $55 and thought wow thats cheap, then the next day I went to buy it and it had been fixed and put up to $65 :(
Still bought it anyway though cos its far better than $130.

After smashing it for a few hours, really seems worth the dosh. I'm very impressed, the control system could use a little tweaking and having some player voice acting ala mass effect would've been tits, which was somethign I was expecting, considering it *is* bioware, but apart from that it really is an involving game.
Go forth and spread ye cash on this one folks, it's a decent ride so far. Also, for those who bitch about the point, click and run thing, you can still use WSAD. Saw a few gripes with that on a google search.

Yeah, I've been trying yesterday and today to preload it with Steamwatch on, and nothing came through. I bit the bullet tonight and turned off Steamwatch, figured I'd burn some quota so I could at least play it tomorrow and it downloaded fine, but it seems to have only used 5gig of my quota (when its a 10gig download), so I dunno if it ended up getting half of it off a local server or what.

From downloading borderlands and monitoring the connections on tcpview, steam doesnt seem to start the download until it gets 3 connections to 3 separate servers. Atm with steamwatch on, it only connects to 3fl and telstra, it tries to connect to a 3rd one but steamwatch is denying everything. It doesnt seem like there is a 3rd australian content server that has DA pushed to it :(

if it's through steam I don't believe you need to, otherwise you have to go onto the social.bioware site.

It has Captain Janeway in it right? (Kate Mulgrew) she is cute for someone a bit older than me. And a Captain of a starship to boot!

Yeah, Janeway was nice. Would have been awesome to see her and 7of9 go for it.

I got some weird shit going on, downloaded Dragon Age last night like I said and it used 5 gig of my quota (for a 10 gig download), woke up this morning and now that 5 gig is magically back on my quota like it was never used.

What isp? With node, if you watch your usage intently, the usage first goes metered before it goes back to unmetered. Its like watching a stats roller coaster!

It's awesome! My father (in game RIP) reminded me of Russell Crowe heh heh!
And the king sounds like a bit of a wimp.
I miss Mum already (RIP).
So far so good!

The character that sounds like Janeway (assumed correct) isn't good looking, in game..
It also has claudia black, who seems to be everywhere these days, the other game im currently playing is uncharted 2.
But yes, top game so far, I personally am not hardcore DnD / RPG so the changes they made make the game flow a lot easier and less mucking around(i.e making sure X person is carrying the extra set of heavy armour because Y person is piss weak) and more story bashing.

buy this game bitches, make my shares skyrocket!

I have that game. After the enourmous amount of patches it is OK. This game is better so far.

Really cool so far, except wtb a fkn healer already so sick of having to spam pots in some fights, plenty of warriors / rogues to get (that i've seen so far but little healers).

That is her (Kate Mulgrew aka Captain Janeway) but she does the role well.
And who could deny Morrigan joining the party with those beaut tittie witties?
Lots of fun and some gruesome cutscenes yet it got through unscated and L4D2 did not?

Killing orcs is different to killing zombies... DUH!
What rating are people giving this game? Thinking of buying next week on PC (fuck xbox)- they say its a 100+ hour epic!!!!
naturally bioware will cash in with some DLC as well.

I figured it was, cos part of what it comes with is a big chunk of DLC which I think sells for $10 - $12 by itself, and I would have bought that anyway. Plus you get some ingame items which aren't actually crap and are quite useful.
You get the soundtrack as well, downloaded to a "Bonus" folder in the game's folder inside Steam, and while I haven't listened to it yet, the music in the game is pretty damn awesome, so yeah, its something I don't mind having.
