[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 4992440, member: 4049"] I bought mine for my PS3. Even though I have the PC hardware for the game, I wanted to see it on a huge screen and play it on the comfort of my sofa. I can, though, see why the PC would be a better experience: the interface is a little clunky (you have to hold multiple buttons to move through the menus; while I don't mind given my significant backgroun with fighting games, I can see where this would frustrate others) and you can't get a decent overhead view (its more of a point of perspective view). In a couple years, I might buy the PC version when it's $20 bucks, but I don't regret my PS3 version. I'm playing an elven mage. I am loving the dialogue interaction options not just between my character and the various party NPCs, but am getting a real kick out of NPCs interactions with each other. Listening to the introductory conversation between Alistair and Stern was a real hoot, and I thought Morrigan's argument with the dog was hilarious. I like how much effort your PC has to spend interacting with the party NPCs; the interactions really make the experience richer and more meaningful. In essence, it's everything BGII (and [i]Planescape: Torment[/i]) had multiplied by three in addition to phenomenal graphics. Speaking of graphics, while it's not quite as good as those in [i]Mass Effect[/i], I'm having a hard time understanding all the complaints associated with the visualization. Event though there's not much in the way of variety for the mages, the textures on their robes is really well done. The faces are generally well done too (wish I could make a real "black" character, but I'll get over it). So far, the voice acting is superb as well. So, while I would love for Bioware to return to the D&D rules set (preferrably 3.5), this game has been a great experience so far. I've played 17 hours and I'm only 8th level and completed less than 10% of the game. AWESOME. [/QUOTE]
