It was pretty much the stereotypical WRPG with Dragons, Knights and CHOICE. I'm sure folks enjoy the whole "choice" thing, but even then very few of your choices actually mattered and in the end, you still followed a fairly linear and predictable adventure that they already had planned out for you. All that changed was who was with you at the end. The game play itself was just Baldur's Gate 2 and I for one hate isometric RPGs so another strike against it.
Don't get me wrong, I know I'm in the minority here, but pretty much everything I've played this year is >>> Dragon Age, but also inferior to Mass Effect 2 which remains the best game I've played this year.

Re: What are you playing?
Fair enough. Like I said, I *hate* isometric RPGs and other than ME2, I usually dislike WRPGs. Then again, one could argue ME2 isn't even an RPG, but that's another argument entirely.

"Super Mario Galaxy 2" and "Yggdra Union" (the GBA version).
I would like to play a vuvuzela too, though.

Re: What are you playing?
Actually opened up CS:S for the first time in forever today, was pretty fun. Their massive "beta" patch has now gone live to everyone. Check out this amazing changelog.
