More linear to my knowledge. Like a KotOR game, Mass Effect or Baulders Gate. This is Bioware we're talking about, not Bethesda =P

I know it won't be open world like Oblivion or Fallout, I just mean as far as choosing where, when, and which quest you do.

Then yes, I'm pretty sure it will be open to that much, there will probably be certain parts that are more linear than others and some parts where you're left to fend for yourself with little direction other than a few sidequests. This is all speculation but it's going to be a good mix of the two genres. Personally I like games like this better than either fully linear or fully open world, as the former restricts exploring and the feeling of adventure, while the latter restricts story potential.

After the first few hours, Dragon Age become largely open world, though I do believe you have to travel sort of like Mass Effect. Not like in Oblivion where it is free roam, and the whole map is open to you, and you roam where and when you choose.

This game is going to be so awesome. I really can't wait. Pretty much any game Bioware releases is good, in my opinion.

This game is going to be awesome it is quite literally not possible for me to be more excited about a game. btw I thick most of you guys are right, some parts are liner but that you can break off from the main quest at certain points and do side missions and explore, however as far as I know certain sections of the map and certain side missions will only become available once you have completed up to a certain point of the main story.
