Looks good. Though, I think its real RPGoY competition will be Mass Effect.

typical rpg rhetoric. if a game claims to have anything that sounds good, it wont.

-- Non-linear and captivating storyline
--Full of turns, twists and ambiguous moral decisions which have real impact on the storyline.
-- All quests can be accomplished in several ways and the game has three different endings depending on the player’s actions and choices throughout the adventure.
