Four more days until the release. I'm looking forward to shutting myself inside for a while to play this. Anyone else plan on playing? I decided not to buy it and have it in my Gamefly Q.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Most definitely! I've got the Signature Edition pre-ordered from Amazon. I really enjoyed DA and am really looking forward to DA:2. Played DA on my PS3. Decided to get DA:2 for my 360 since I do most of my gaming now on the XBox.

Nope. Loved the first one, but I'm not buying the second after the mess they made with the Mac patches.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

What do you mean your magic is "temporarily disabled"? Are you out of mana?

This thing is getting sodomized by users on metacritic.
Dragon Age II for Xbox 360 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic

Games that get high review scores and low user scores are usually great at first and then repetitive. DA:O had some of that, and if Bioware has further "streamlined" the game, there is a definite risk that DA2 is a turd.

I rarely trust the user scores on Metacritic. I remember reading reviews on Reach and it was either scores of 0 or 10, which are both to far in their respective directions to be taken seriously.

Yeah, of course it's going to be some polarized bullshit.

Personally I found it great, and the Mac port performed very well. Only complaints about the game seem to be from people who've never played an RPG before.
