Its fascinating, although its really an online game. I wish Bioware had made the story at least half as long as that of Baldur's Gate. The gameplay is a bit too short (singleplayer) for my taste, even compared to Icewind Dale. But I guess the treasure is in the dungeon tools. I've neither finished the singleplayer game nor played as much multiplayer games as I'd like, but from the initial user experience -- the Aurora engine is breath-taking! Unfortunately, the hardware needed to drive it is a little bit too advanced for my hardware. ;) Now if only using NVidia drivers on X were as easy as the rest... (BTW, ATI Radeon 8500 on Linux is easy to use and produces wonderful results). ============================ Gino LV.
