An instant classic, for sure. Engrossing story, strategic (and FUN) combat, beautiful graphics, highly detailed main character models, and check out the facial expressions as your dialogue options change! I like to explore, and there is always some out of the way spot to find, with chests, traps, and other surprises. Some definite stop-and-smell-the-scenery moments, as well as truly remarkable dialogue scenes with eerily realistic-looking characters (although there are enough 'generic' NPC's as well). I've hardly played more than 10 hours or so, and already I don't want it to end. A bit different from the usual fare, but like a warm, sweet summer breeze, extremely welcome and inviting. We need more of this. Bravo BioWare!
