£40, which is quite steep. Still, you get more for your money than you do with the equivalently priced COD42.

So steam gives you three rings, the two pre-order ones (dalish promise ring and memory band) and the steam one the wicked oath which does the crit bonus. Apparently there's a better deluxe steam version with rings and the extra of the wardens keep quests, the shale npc and the three other items, the staff, book and helmet, is that right?

I'm totally confused and I can't seem to find a proper comparison site.

I've looked at the game pre-order I have and it seems to offer the same stuff, but I'm not sure. I may grab the steam one because the ring sounds more useful given I'll play through as a warrior first time.

Sounds about right. I couldn't find the deluxe version anywhere but Steam.

It's also on Impulse, but I don't think they have any exclusive items like Steam or GameStop do.

The game exclusive lists the shale npc, the helmet, book and staff and two rings, but doesn't mention wardens keep and the extra missions. I think it has them though. I think I'll get the steam one because it's the same price really, lists everything extra and will hopefully easier to deal with the unlocks stuff which no doubt will be a pain in the arse because it's EA.

I mean as in Steam has The Wicked Oath, GameStop has the Feral Wolf Charm, and Amazon has the Lion's Paw Boots. I believe that those are the only exclusive pre-order bonus items available. All pre-orders get the Memory Band though.

Really don't know what to do, people say it's the sucessor to Baldurs Gate (Of which II was the first game of that type I played and will remain one of my all time favourite games) so that makes me think get it on the PC.
I wan't to get it on the Ps3 though due to big tv screenage and ps3 controller in bed scenario.
I know I could try and replicate this on my PC but it's far too inconvenient. Hell maybe i'll get both.

The console versions are limited to the Mass Effect style third-person perspective, while the PC version has that and the more traditional isometric perspective, like KOTOR has.

Thats interesting. Well I liked Mass Effect (PC) and had no qualms with the view so maybe Ill stick to the PS3. Apparently I get a code for some armour in ME2 as well, does that mean it's coming to PS3 you think?

Be silly of them not to given the success of the first game.

Possibly you'll get a code that's redeemable on any platform.

I'm assuming the Toolset/Modding is PC only and if thats true, I would think PC is the way to go.

Post by **HereComesPete** » October 29th, 2009, 10:45

That. If this IS rpg of teh decade as a lot of places seem to suggest in their reviews then there's going to be plenty of extras generated with that toolset.

There's probably already a naked mod out.

LoL

= me!

When I played KOTOR, I had a threesome with Bastila and the Russian Jedi chick...I kept them naked throughout the game. Although, when I stumbled on the "bug", I equiped Bastila in the leather corset

I never pre-ordered a game so, I'm quite suprised it shipped on Nov 1 which means I'll should have it on Nov 4 wednesday. I just thought they had to ship on the release day of Nov 3.

My copy is pre-loading on steam. Is it tuesday yet?

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 2nd, 2009, 8:20

Not out until the 6th or 9th (I forget, it's a wiggly number) here

Post by **HereComesPete** » November 2nd, 2009, 10:05

Friday I think.

I bought it on steam, because it's the same price and the wicked oath will sit better on the warrior type I will undoubtedly create first. I think I already said this.

Only problem I have is I bust my Game login and they aren't responding to my requests for a password replace or to cancel the copy I already had on order there so they better get ready for a refusal/refund.
