Dragon Age Origins

Ok, this game pretty much rules.  It is, in my opinion, the true heir to Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment, which every serious gamer should have played through at least twice.  I literally spent all day yesterday playing this game, and I'm 11% complete.  When they say there's 100 hours of gameplay in this game, they aren't kidding at all.  I can see easily spending 100 hours in this game, because I know I've barely scratched the surface.

Admittedly there are a lot of cutscenes in the game, which do take some time.  But that's ok.  I actually like the cutscenes because they're important to the story itself.  So far, I haven't noticed any truly detrimental consequences to my actions, but I can see where some of the decisions I've made may end up making a difference later on.  A couple of my party members don't appear to be too fond of each other at the moment, and I'm wondering if that may end up causing problems later.  Whether or not that type of interaction is built into the game I'm not sure, but if it is, it could make life really interesting down the road.

Now, time to start playing again.
