Bioware are like Pixar in that have yet to produce a flop, and judging by recent efforts (Mass Effect) they are still on top form. That said they are due a dud and I am really hoping that this isn't it.

I'll be getting it Tuesday via digital download.
I'm looking forward to the game but I know I won't get to play it until later in the month, so I am not going out of my way to look for early reviews -- i'll just wait until first hand player reviews are out. 
Of the stuff I have read/seen so far, it looks good. I like turn-based rpgs, so the ability to pause between rounds looks like it will be functional in that capacity (as well as real-time). And replayability looks high given the alternate origins (though I am curious to know how far in to the game before those origins overlap, to know how much will be 'very unique' through each play through)

I like turn-based rpgs as well.. my favorite childhood RPG was Bane of the Cosmic Forge, though I liked Wizardry on NES as well.
Good point on the origins.

Then Dragon Age probably really isn't a game for you.
In other news: Gamespot gave it a 9.5 rating (Dragon Age: Origins Review for PC - GameSpot). Savvy players will point out that this ought to be taken with a grain of salt, as GS is known to be less-than-objective at times. That's why I'll check out a number of other reviews (most notably from Gamebanshee) before buying it.

It's like Mass Effect, just better (as in, the sideplots are cool, too, now), in a mature fantasy setting.
I will definitely get it.
And hopefully Mass Effect 2 will also feature these improvements (not that there is much to improve in this game, apart from the sideplots and some minor stuff it's sheer awesomeness).

Both major Norwegian tabloids have net-reviews today. 6/6 and strong 5/6 verdicts.
I'll get it in the mail and will probably go (away) on holliday before I get to play.
Cergorach: Dragon Age has been announced as a singel player, group based RPG since they gave the first hints 4-5 years ago. Why the surprise of no MP? I've at least expected no MP possibility for years.
Thanee: Mass Effect 2 actually seems to change quite a bit. Going further away from a turn-based RPG and much closer to a FPS :-(

At the last moment? I never remember reading that it was going to have multiplayer, but I've only been paying attention for the last 6-9 months or so.
