    I guess you just prefer shooters over traditional RPGs... Dragon Age, in terms of mechanics and gameplay, is the most accomplished RPG offering yet seen in the gaming world (at the very least, in my own opinion). Its gameplay and mechanics ideas have been around as long as RPGs have, but BioWare have polished them to new levels. I would put it on a par with WoW in terms of assimilated RPG polish. I would say the only way people could criticise mechanics and gameplay in DAO is if they don't like traditional RPG gameplay.

    Just to add, when I say RPG, I'm not including MMORPGs in that. I think Blizzard are still top - if we're including MMORPGs - for polished assimilation of ideas. Hopefully TOR will become the new barometer for that though!

    Nice podcast, I like getting insights from other people's views on mmos. I have to agree that STO isnt one :D I hope Bioware pick up about some of the failings that have happened with STO and dont go that route.

    I wish i had my new PC so I could play ME2 and DAO *sniffles*

    Little tip if you you played ME 1 on the console then ME 2 on the PC there is a way of getting your save into ME 2..... well kind of.

    Theres a site set up where you can download ME 1 saves, I did this because like many of the other ME players I got 1 on 360 and 2 on PC, so I tracked down and found the save that matches all my choices, Paragon/Renagade, money, and class, downloaded it loaded it into ME 2 and I had my character, you can even remodel the face to match your ME 1 character only thing you can't change is the First name that comes with the save, but you never see that beyond character creation so it doesn't matter at all.

    I believe that site is called www.masseffectsaves.com, but I'm not 100% on that just smack it into google it should be the first link and theres the solution without buying ME 1 again :)
