Good news, not to steal the probable RPS thunder when the other side of the pond wakes up tomorrow, but I’ve found a video that answers the question. Text-only version: even if marketing doesn’t get it, Bioware themselves are still very much on the ball.

Look at those sexy graphics we can only find on a PC! So fresh, so life like, so . . . 1998!

Actually I have no answer for that, both these guys are into that stuff. It probably wouldn’t occur to them to mention the music one way or the other, and I didn’t think to ask.

Hah, yes, I was thinking of Inigo Montoya when I was watching this as well. Still, at least it’s not a Fawlty Towers Manuel accent…

“Bioware’s fantasy epic is trundling towards us like a siege tower made of conversation trees and noisy metal” Truly amazing line.

Really looking forward to this game.

actually, all Bioware games for a while have been clones of KOTOR, with the PC being a variation of Jedi

gameplay (3rd person, companions controlled by VERY crappy AI)

story (big bad evil in a can released, wants to destroy the world/universe for no reason, only the Jedi can stop it, and for that you have to gather 4 artifacts/visit 4 areas/worlds)

characters (gritty merc/marine, the innocent girl, etc)

all extremely similar, im still surprised they pulled out a evil in a can with end of the universe prophesy (a traditional medieval rpg trope) in Mass Effect

Still think this looks fairly horrible, still will probably get it because I love Bioware.

What I find interesting is that so much time is spent on characters, rather than story or gameplay. I have a sinking feeling this game will be similar to Mass Effect, great story-telling and characterization before your character becomes a Warden and linear afterwards. Just like with Mass Effect being just the same, with great story-telling and characterization until you start going on the linear planetary missions. The point in Mass Effect where you go on planetary quest and it all becomes the same sounds very much like Dragon Age, when you become a Warden.

Nngggh… Is it just me or is this game getting less and less appealing for every trailer they release? The voice-acting seems a bit off, facial animations arn’t much better. Environments looks a bit… bland?
