Dragon Age *possible spoilers*

Can any of you comment on how hard it is compared to BG2? That game was tough as nails but I enjoyed the difficulty, it made winning the battles very satisfying.

At first I thought the combat was significantly more difficult than BG2, but I had forgotten the importance of pausing, and pausing FREQUENTLY, side effect of 10 years of nothing but balls to the wall action games :D It's similar in difficulty though, I could definatly see people new to CRPGs having a helluva tough time on Normal difficulty however.

I'm playing on Normal and the combat can be very challenging at times, but playing carefully and putting some thought into your battle plan, you can overcome those challenges. The game is challenging enough to make your victories give you a sense of accomplishment, while not being frustrating.

*edit*

One of the guys on the prophecy forum also got confirmation that his has shipped.
 
Good to know it will definitly be in store on monday then. Usually when they start shipping it you are able to pick up at store on the same day shipping starts. No luck this time though, just phoned BT games Brooklyn. Megan told me we can only get our copies on Monday. :(

Lame :(

On the bright side, I'll only be getting my copy on monday sometime, as well :p
 
My colleague, sitting right next to me, also just received confirmation that couriers are delivering. Ordered from BT games.
 
I haven't heard anything from BT yet, so I suppose it is on still for Monday. It saddens me if they have it and we can't collect it now - this can only be due to their administration that is too slow... thus they are first sending out the games that won't be collected.

I believe that is the case. If we can collect early they would send us an sms. Haven't received it and BT brooklyn told me only on monday.
