Well that's definitely true if you don't already have enough ram, but there are games that are slow loading even with an excessive amount of memory. It's all about where your bottleneck is.

I will get PC version of DA:O soon - I will tell U how long loadings are on my machine

I'm getting more and more excited for this game name, this should satify my RPG needs for a while.

ok
I played it
2 hours 38 min - Mage Origin story
AWESOME I love it!
Loading are very quick. I played all options on High with 16X AA and 1080p
I love grafics in isometric view. looks like baldurs gate and ps torment's locations but it actually in 3d
a lot of poligons on characters and cool light effects.
gameplay - very nice. I love some cool tactics. used special rune, that stoped enemies if they failed their mental stabylity test and then - frozen them with my cool cold magick. Then my partners broke the ice)))
cutscenes look very cool. there are a lot more alive then NWN2. camera moves, chars moves, face animations cool. I created character that looks like Shepard but with Kaim Argonar's hair)))))
GOTY!

ok, some new scores from motherrussia)))

Igromania (Gamemania magazine):

Gameplay - 9
Grafics - 9
Sound and Misic - 8
Controls - 8
High Value of Replayability - YES
Awesome Story - YES
Originality - NO
Easy - NO
Justification of the expectations - 90%

Verdict - 9/10
Without having changed the time-proved mechanics, BioWare created in the familiar decorations the most adult and most severe rpg game of all time. Most terrible here - not the blood and atrocity, but the cruelty of people.

AG.ru (Most stupid russian site ever) - "92% Awesome" "Editor's Choice"

Seems like we have a winner. Finally a real treat for crpg fans. Who knows, maybe it will compete with U2 for GOTY title.

Man, the wait is killing me. I truly hope the game has a preload on Steam. D2D will have one. I mean a game big as 16GB+, and no preload, will be a painful day on 6 November.

And lol, so funny here's the official OP topic of DA on neogaf.

Epic! :p

First 360 review (nowgamer.com)

Graphics: 7.6/10
Sound: 9.7/10
Gameplay: 9.5/10
Longevity: 9.0/10
Final Verdict: Like playing one of the most engaging games of your life on an emotional rollercoaster suspended between an excitable pair of moral pendulums. An engaging, emotive, thrill-packed joy ride of an RPG whose quality exceeds anything we could have possibly expected. 9.4/10

I've put some cash aside especially for this. I dunno, I just have a feeling that this game is going to be something special.

Just one week to go!

Can't believe this was announced back on 2004. What a long wait it has been.
