I haven't been this excited for a nice dose of electronic escapism in years. Dragon Age:Origins has been billed as the spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series and by all accounts it delivers. Heavily character lead with real personality, no stupid moral system (all kinds of grey areas and feedback through consequences, not points on a moral swingometer), a deep and well put together world and, by all accounts, fiendishly evil combat with an FF12 style 'Gambit' system as well ... I am filled with gamer glee .

There's M/M and F/F queer content as well, and while I'm holding out to see how well it's written before I jump from the rooftops, it is really quite exciting to have it in there at all.

I know what I'll be doing on the afternoon of the 6th .
