I was expecting it to be open world like Oblivion. Since it's not I probably won't be picking it up =/
you're missing the best RPG experience of the year man.
It's just whenever I play a non open RPG it's like it's horribly linear. It's also always hard to roleplay for me in one, unless you can buy a house.
So I guess that's my main question, can you get a house and decorate it in Dragon Age?
