This game is a brilliant RPG, and saves a lot of money if you're wanting the expansion and all of the downloadable content. If you like being able to choose different routes and explore different ways of doing things, this is the game for you. You can be good or evil, mage, rogue or warrior, elf, human or dwarf, and choose from six origin storylines to play through that define your character. The downloadable content is relevant and interesting, the characters are well written and easy to fall in love with or hate with a passion.
The only thing to warn about is that all copies of the game are faulty and do not install the “Return to Ostagar” DLC correctly. This is NOT a problem however, as EA and Bioware (the publishers and developers of the game) are aware of this, and will provide the content for free download if you register your copy of the game and talk to a help representative from EA. This can be easily done from their website, through their 24 hour live chat help. I sound like an agent trying to sell it, but really this game is worth it. :D
