unlike mass effect each play through is atleast 50 hours, and there are multiple very different origin stories.

No idea, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say 360 ... It seems developers have no idea how to program for PC anymore ...

If, by some miracle, it's programmed well, I'd go w/ PC ...

Hope this isn't as hard as Demon's Souls for PS3. That shit drove me nuts after 1 hour.

Also hated that ragdoll effect from corpses.

Because it's a PC game

From the 1Up review:

Quote:
Console versus PC

Playing on the PS3 after finishing the PC version, I felt hamstrung by the console interface. In combat, it replaces the expandable ability bar and hotkeys by mapping spells and abilities to the face buttons. You get two sets of commands and can alternate between them with R2 (or right bumper for the 360).

To assign these skills and access other commands, players may use L2 (or the left bumper) to call up a radial menu (first seen in BioWare's PC RPG Neverwinter Nights). The console interface compensates for the fewer options by adding a quick heal button -- you can adjust it to automatically pick the most appropriate healing poultice for your character's HP situation.

Tactical combat is sadly stripped down for the consoles. In the PC version, you may use a handy top-down viewpoint of the battlefield. You can maneuver the camera above the characters on the console, but it doesn't scroll in and out. It's also more difficult to command characters to take specific positions on the battlefield, and I couldn't cast spells while paused. This really takes away from the combat -- it's a shame that console players again don't get the options that PC players enjoy. Console players aren't second-class citizens; they deserve the bells and whistles, too -- especially since they're paying $10 more for the game.

because its was designed for a pc and then ported to the consoles...

hotbar vs action wheeel (like in mass effect or ratchet on ps3)

pc looks better and has better controls.

Yeah if your PC sucks, might as well get the console version I guess.

Great game!

I feel like there's more dialogue and cut scenes then actual gameplay hah! It's basically a medieval version of mass effect and I loved mass effect

Actually, Mass Effect is a sci-fi version of Dragon Age/Baldur's Gate

some part are really hard. I'm on the top of the tower and that big demon like thing is owning my ass. But this game is indeed beautiful if your system is capable of running it in high mode.
