Even in alpha state, this is the best RPG i've played in since BG2. Can't wait to see the final version.

As a backer, and also playing the alpha, you might be overstating that a bit. There are still a lot of little annoyances to be worked out. There's a lot of potential and it's fun to play.

But the alpha isn't better than say a finished, patched and dlc-filled DA Origins, or KOA or even Dungeon Siege.

The writing is pretty brilliant tho.

No, I don't think I'm overstating it. I've found the combat to be much more enjoyable and solidly built in this alpha that Dragon Age Origins by far.

Maybe I should have clarified. RPGs is a big genre. I meant "party-based CRPG."

The only major gripe I have is how many sfx are just missing. The gameplay, though, is just stellar. The AP system here is much more satisfying to me than in Wasteland 2, or Arcanum (ulgh) or the Fallouts.

anticlimax4480d ago

I disagree on the combat but that's because I'm a realtimewithpause-guy, but that's preference.

My biggest gripe right now is that I feel it'd help if they just sped up everything a bit in DOS, from walking to battle animations.
