the character models are downright gorgeous. the life(like) animation is kinda subpar on the western/bioware levels of good enough (for a robot).

I've always had Balder's Gate on my to-play-list for ages now but never got round to it. I have played Dragon Age Origins and loved it and have been dying for a true sequel which never came as Bioware has now fallen from grace.

From the gameplay footage so far, this seems like a spiritual successor to Dragon Age - which is ironic as Dragon Age is sort of the spiritual successor to the original Balder's Gate games.

I've never played Baldur's Gate, even back in the day. Is this a turn based game, or action based? I'm not fond of turn based. Last time I was 'ok' with that was the original Final Fantasy 7. I grew very bored of it shortly after.
