The level of detail is really quite amazing, in my opinion. I love the chatter between party members too. Zevran is kind of..um..interesting..but there's no way he's being allowed inside my tent! Now if only Alistair would feel "ready" I'd be a happy woman. ;) @Tam – Yes! The level of detail is really quite amazing, in my opinion. I love the chatter between party members too.

I don't really want to say anything in case I inadvertantly spoil something for you so I guess I'll just say I loved the post, and I'm loving Dragon Age as well. I love the detail they put in the NPCs - I don't know how it happened, but somehow over the course of not much playtime I found myself caring deeply for pretty much everybody. Except Zevran. He annoys me more than words can say, and I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. But thankfully, in a rare break from my normal practices, I'm playing a female character so I get to cosy up with Alistair.

I figure I would rather have less challenge in battle since my main interest is the story. Although it is nice that you can switch between difficulties without starting over, which I didn't realize at first. @Triz – I definitely noticed a difference.

DA:O has a VERY weird difficulty curve, and the difference between Normal and Easy is much bigger somehow than in many other games (from personal experience with DA:O).
