It means if you play on a Keyboard it's like Diablo Style... you just take the curser over who you want to talk to or attack and click, with a control you use the "A" button as the "Click"

The console version doesn't control like the PC version. The PC version, from what I understand, is point and click. The console version is like any other action RPG: abilities are mapped to the face buttons, and you use the analog sticks to move and control camera. You control your character directly, and can switch between controlling any member of your party on the fly. I cannot wait for Dragon Age. The concept is awesome enough, but the fact that it's being made by Bioware means it will no doubt be a great experience.

Im guessing the 360 version will control a bit like KotOR, but I could be completely wrong.

Should play like Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale/Planescape/Neverwinter Knights on the PC, maybe point and click to move (could be dependent on your view, Console version doesn't have the more top down view). Click targets to attack, click on your abilities to use them (usually while the game is paused so you can command everyone and not waste any time).

For the console you will likely be forced to use the close up view (from what I heard top down is missing), and you will almost certainly move with the sticks. Combat will play like the PC version just with face buttons replacing abilities. You still click on the target (but with the A button) to attack and to continue to attack your target with your normal moves. The console version will likely just map abilities, items, and spells to the face button while the PC will just have you click on them. Should be better with the PC. If it isn't faster to select moves then just to have the other view option.

Im guessing the 360 version will control a bit like KotOR, but I could be completely wrong.

Which would basically make the game point and click. Choose a target, choose attack, and watch the action. Using abiltites as you please, usually with the game paused. The only different is the PC will likely have you click on an enemy while consoles use a target scroll button.

How is that better? Either way you have an enemy targeted/mouse over the enemy you push A/click and then you watch as your guy attacks. It isn't a button masher where you run in hitting X or Y for every swing that you do.
