This game is a teeny tiny bit overrated, it's a great game.
Bioware has created many famous RPG titles,for example,Baldur's Gate.Neverwinter Nights, and Jade Empire. They've been the milestones of the RPG gaming industry. Their games keep the same formula, and it's been working for over a decade, it's just different in each of the games.They've been working on Dragon Age for a long time,hoping to get it GOTY of 2009, I think they've almost made this game perfect, but if you really look into it, they could of made a sequel to NW2.
Pros:
Old Formula Still works
Great Combat System
Wide Selection of Weapons
Different Areas to Travel
Amazing Voice Acting
Customization in Classes and Stats
Nice Sound Effects
OK System Requirements
Superior PC Version
Cons:
Graphics are a bit back in time without frame buffering effects
No Multiplayer or even Co-op(MP not needed though) but understandable
Repetitive sometimes with the corridors
Graphics: 8.5
Gameplay:9
Design:9
Replayability: 9

Control:9
