I hadn't enjoyed a game as much since I played Mass Effect. And this one seems to be longer, which is something I definitely won't complain about. I must be 1/4 through the game and also hope I won't read major spoilers while happily browsing.

You can put in spoilers though. Type it in the same color as the background, so it doesn't show. If you highlight the text it will be easy to read. That way people who don't mind the spoilers can read it, and you won't have to feel guilty about ruining someone's experience! Example: check my post on DA:O initial thoughts later today.

I'll try to tone down any spoilers in my writing then. But there will be puzzle solutions there, which I'm posting as I come across them. :) Hmm… I’ll try to tone down any spoilers in my writing then.

I even started a new character to try out that origin, and I may try another one again. The farthest I have gotten so far is just after the fight at Ostagar with my human warrior. But I am loving the game a ton!! I have been trying hard to not just blow through the game. I even started a new character to try out that origin, and I may try another one again.

Several times now I've come to points where I think I can predict what is coming next, and I seem to be very wrong. I've been playing as a rather honorable/nice guy - Morrigan isn't a big fan right now. After some mistakes where I've upset the wrong people, and caused some fights I didn't intend, I've realized it's going to take a lot of careful fighting/self-defense to actually play through as evil! I'm avoiding all forum, posters, etc., that may contain spoilers. It has been years since I've cared what happened next in a game, and I'm not going to ruin it until I'm done with at least one completion!

I already got a pretty good idea what's going on, I guess till december I will know a lot of things already. Guess this just cannot be prevented. This will be real problem for you as people are talking about DA:O everywhere and all the time by now. But be assured, the stuff is complex enough that even a lot of spoilers won't ruin that much for you... :) I won’t play DA:O till Xmas, but will try still not to spoil you anything by accident.
