Well, I for one don't care much - I just wanna play games in single player and can't be bothered to write my own adventures anyway (I do that with pen and paper and play AD&D in an old school gaming session if the urge strikes me)
I don't really *get* multiplayer gaming (even less the massive multiplayer ones)
Regardless your criticism is valid, one year is FAR too long. I hope Bioware will cut us some slack if the game doesn't sell like hotcakes and that they will do a more proper conversion for their furure titles.
(Baldur's Gate was what.. 2 years 'late' and still it was wildly popular - just a thought: if it is good it sells)
