Thread: Dragon Age: Origins! Who's stoked?

I'll be picking up both the 360 version from Gamestop and unlocking the Steam download tomorrow. I've already spent a couple hours fiddling with the DA Character Creator, so I think I'll be ready to jump right on in. Bioware has yet to release a game that I've been disappointed with, so I'm super excited to get my hands on this one.

Anyone else picking it up? If not, what the hell is wrong with you?

I have been excited since they announced this game....what, somewhere around October last year, maybe earlier? I don't know, its been awhile, and I've had it preordered since the first day it was available. Everything about this game looks amazing, and the whole fact that they say its the spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate gets me even more excited...if i didn't have two midterms this week, its all i'd be doing. As is, I still may squeeze in some playtime. For anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about:

I pre-ordered it as well. I've never bought the "deluxe" version of any game or "collectors edition".
But I did with this game. I just tracked it and it's scheduled to deliver tomorrow via UPS.

Now if I only didn't have to go to work tomorrow... or for the rest of the week.

I just received my copy of Dragon Age Origins "Collectors Edition" (uber dork I know) here at work. It comes in a nice metal box. Now all I have to do is head home at 5 and start playing! That's 5 hours away... I don't think I'm feeling too good... must go home now...

Unfortunately my time is already booked today and tonight so I won't have a chance to play until tomorrow. :3

Man.. I really need to get my 360 back. I cannot wait for this game. Sure, I could get it for the PC, but to me its made for console..

Except on the PC you can zoom out a la Baldur's Gate and play it old school style.

I've bought both, and I'll play a little on my PC before I take the plunge and upgrade my rig to Windows 7 with a pair of fresh 1T hard drives, then I'll be playing it on console until I can get drunk enough to go through the hassle of reinstalling/redownloading all my apps, drivers, utilities, etc.
