As for Dragon Age… don’t feel pressured. It’s actually very enjoyable, but from what I’ve seen so far you can buy the basic no-frills box and have exactly the same fun as someone who got nickel-and-dimed. As one of the latter, I know for sure I’m unhappy about the way they’re bleeding gamers, and while I think the game is great, I *have* lost a lot of respect for the EA mothership (not that I had a huge amount to begin with).
