I've been playing this game since it came out and I'm still playing. The story is excellent, as always with Bioware. The game is very long somewhere between 40-60 hours of gameplay, I beat it at 45 hours in. I'm already starting my new character, an elven mage.
It has plenty of re playability, there are 3 different classes and each one has 4 specializations. Such as a mage becoming a Shapeshifter or Arcane Warrior. Each race has a different origin that you can play. The origins are all different for each race and have a big impact on the story. For example, since I was a human noble I got a mabari war dog as a companion.
The characters in this game are very memorable and fun to interact with. Having different companions while doing quests can affect what is said or can even change the quest. Sometimes characters will add quirky remarks to what is said keeping the conversations entertaining. The choices can be very hard to make. There were several times where I actually had to stop and think before I made a choice as to the consequences because it was so tough.
As I'm sure you've heard, this game is hard. Even on normal it can be very challenging. But in no point of the game had I reached a part where it was so hard I couldn't succeed. The challenge only adds to the fun and feeling of achievement.
The story is great, the gameplay is awesome and the characters/conversations are entertaining and vivid. If I were you and you were me, I would buy this game. Its definitely worth it.
I forgot to post this on here yesterday so I'll do it today.
You can play an online mini-game of Dragon Age, which allows you to get items for the game when it comes out. The game itself plays like Heroes of Might and Magic, where you have a certain amount of spaces and actions you can do per turn in combat. Its fairly entertaining and challenging.
You get the in-game items by completing achievements, quests, and filling out a survey.
I would also like to point out that this is only the first chapter and there will be more.
so they are gonna release a DLC for people to buy on launch.
yet another reason why i'm not gonna get it.
No one is forcing you to buy it so I don't see the problem here. Also this just shows that they are obviously going to keep the game updated with new content which is a good thing.
On another note the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creation program has been released. Just like the Spore creature creator, you can create a character and then plug it into the main game as soon as you get it, and of course . . . its FREE! Link.
In my opinion, for whoever cares, I think the game looks great. It will have loads of content and plenty to do when you play. Here's a video showcasing the PC version which looks stupendous!
Here is a review for Dragon Age from Game Informer.
As soon as my flight landed back in Minneapolis, I didn?t even fight the urge; I drove straight into the office and spent an entire Sunday night in front of the computer fighting darkspawn and saving Ferelden. The number of titles that can foster this level of dedication and obsession are few, and Dragon Age: Origins is among the best of them.
I've been waiting for this game since it was first announced. Greatly enjoyed Mass Effect and am also waiting for Mass Effect 2. Yes, they are trying to draw in the "horny" teenagers with the sex and violence. But I do not think that will hinder the game.
I also think that they took this approach with the game, making sure everyone knew that there was sex, violence, etc. because of the Fox News fiasco with Mass Effect.

Also it seems like it will be hard which is a plus for me.
Bioware > EA
Also the Blood Dragon Armor looks beast.
That is all.
