Call me old fashioned, but I'd just rather own a physical copy than a digital one.
I want to know that for as long as I live, that I can always have access to what I have purchased. There is no such guarantee with digital distribution.
You know discs degrade over time, right? Estimated shelf life is eight years.
Not saying there's something wrong with owning a physical copy, just saying that all media comes with an expiration date.
I realize this... but I have discs that are much older than that that still function. I think that the shelf life is underestimated.

Regardless, I can always make backups!
Not legally anymore! Thank you DMCA.
(Actually some EULA's may still allow you a single backup copy, and with older games having no SecurROM it should still work, but I know for newer games with Yummy or SecurROM, it usually won't work without using something like Alchohol 120% to maker a true bit-for-bit copy of the disk).

I'm Canadian, so copyright laws are quite different here. I'm mostly talking about backing up my PSX and PS2 library... ESPECIALLY my PSX library really. I have too many classics that I love returning to.
Have they addressed whether or not dwarves get to have romantic liaisons
Because that would be high-larious
Romances aren't limited by the PC's race. Its the very height of racial equality.
I really really really hope someone posts dwarf romances on youtube. The dwarf taking Zevran from behind, and the dwarf caressing Morrigan from behind should be especially hilarious.

Go watch the Gametrailers review there's some...uhhh, dwarf romance for you.
I'd really like to hear reports about how the games control on PS3 and XBox. I'd like to get it for my PS3 if I could, but if the console controls suck I guess I could get it for PC.
Is it supposed to take forever to decrypt this thing? I'm so excited I'm pissing pure adrenaline.

The console controls look almost identical to the Mass Effect controls, right down to a radial menu setup. If you liked the Mass Effect controls, you'll probably be fine with these.
The Eurogamer review made me even more excited for this game. Everything they listed as negatives are the sorts of things that I love in an RPG, like the slow build intro with too much talking.
I love that shit.
Sadly, my copy doesn't arrive until Friday (damn you, Amazon!) so I'm going to have to force myself to stay away from this thread to avoid spoilers. I even had the forethought to change my work schedule so as to have Friday off.

But I think in about an hour I'll hate it again.
I hope this doesn't impact me negatively in any way. Fuck me.

Ahhhh it's finally here!

edit: Gotta restart steam to fix this issue.
Try restarting Steam again.
It starts decrypting, then promptly closes the window and pretends I never asked it to do anything.

FASTER STEAM, DAMN YOU
Watch the GT review from 9:00 to 9:30. Somewhere in there your answer is. I'm not sure you are ready for it.

Decryption is an asshole.

@Egos: NIGHTMARES I NEED NOT HAVE
Well that's great that they're there
I imagine real life dwarfs have a short fuse about not being included

regular version has no more countdown though
I'm also about to finishing decrypting.
I love that shit.

I'll see you all then.
Confirming I did buy the deluxe version.
