Must buy in my book. I hate that BioWare isn't dealing with the game directly, but I'm pretty sure several of the original staff members are working on it correct?
Those guys really know how to tell a story. If you're a fan of this game I would highly recommend Baldur's Gate. And of course Jade Empire which is sure to be another great one!
The new movies should have been based on this games story in my opinion! What a twist at the end!
