If you don't mind me asking, what laptop do you have? Fallout 3's min requirement is definitely higher then DA.
Just curious, what is preventing you guys from getting the PC version? If I remember correctly the system requirement of the game really isn't that high. I will find that and update OP.
In computer years, mine could join the AARP. Damn thing sounds like an asthmatic even running something like Mount & Blade.

Apparently this laptop (borrowing it from a friend) has more than Fallout 3's minimum requirements. It still barely runs.
CPU T2600 2.16GHz
2.0GB Ram
Windows XP
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400

Going by the system requirements published for ME, DA actually have a lower system requirement. So you should be fine.
Unless you have a small HDD.
Minimum requirements show a dual core proc. Until I can justify an upgrade I'm watching this thread like a fish tank.
Hopefully someone takes one for the team and finds that a single core is fine.

My wife using the PC at night for work mostly. Buying a 2nd PC isn't really an option so 99% of my gaming is on the 360. And to be honest 99% of the time (or close) it isn't a bad deal. I usually prefer the 360 versions. This game just seems to be one which is geared towards the PC.
I'm on Mac and I don't want to get into emulation to avoid complications on a machine I need for work. I wouldn't think twice about buying the 360 version of most PC games but game like Dragon Age doesn't seem a natural fit for consoles so I'm wary.
I actually tried playing an old FPS with a mouse and keyboard recently and it felt wierd and uncomfortable. I know... I think I need to turn in my Gamer card.
The only reason I am getting it for 360 is that I don't have a great PC for playing games yet and I am building one but I would rather play Dragon Age on consoles first than eventually on PC one's I finish building the one I want.
Still. GET THE PC VERSION. There are a gazillion loading screens that you'll encounter, and on the PC the wait isn't too bad, but I shudder at the thought of all those loads on a 360 or PS3.This makes me sad. I wonder if that is why they locked the perspective on the consoles to the over the shoulder view.
Its not like the guy actually played the console version, he is making an assumption with no data to back it up.
-Edit: I'm a skimmer, you pointed this out yourself in a later post!

My girlfriend wants to play it, so console it is. If the mod community really takes off on the PC and I can score a good deal I could see myself picking it up down the line.

Well KoToR and Jade Empire were both great on the console and Dragon Age looks a lot more like KoToR than different. Mass Effect was the only one that stunk on consoles (from a technical perspective - the pop-in, elevator hell, and terrible inventory) So I have my fingers crossed that it will be fine and we just haven't heard much about it yet.
[S]neaky seductress Leliana and shapeshifting mage Morrigan. Both are possible romantic companions in the game, but you don't have to wait until the release date to fall in love with them. We've got exclusive photos of real-life hotties Alleykatze and Victoria Johnson who lent their sexy curves to their video game counterparts
The funny thing is... the models look nothing like their in game counterparts. Of course that could be just the artist in me picking out the fact that the eyes, mouth, cheek bones, while attractive in both RL and CG, are totally different. Its like someone took a doll and colored it with the same eye shadow, skin, eye and lip color. If Bioware paid these models, they got ripped off. (of course its not the models fault that Bioware artists weren't up to snuff or decided that generic "pretty" features were better than RL beauty)

So who modeled for the male characters?
I only look at pictures of women photoshopped to look like they're in a house of mirrors anyway.

Alleykatze sounds like a pornstar name.

Yeah, well, since german Katze = cat, alley cat. You may or may not be able to solicit her at her nsfw webpage. This is the new distraction.

Haha! My two favourite quotes from that page:

Well, I guess Morrigan will have to wait for the second playthrough.

Whoa, me too.
Err, not Rat Boy's bunk. I'll be in my own bunk.

Thanks but I don't swing that way.

It was an observation, not a request.

I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed in the character creation, at least insofar as I couldn't make the character I wanted to. I was hoping for a human character but was limited to the backstory of nobility. Okay, I can go with that, I thought, and decided to make him a racist bastard who got into his share of fights with elves (and any dirty elvish symps) even though he was woefully unequipped for it, who loudly trumpeted his belief that the demons and all evil only existed because the non-human races were tolerated and that they, alongside any traitorous filth that dared to side with that genetic scum, needed to be eradicated with the same drive that the Church uses against magic users of all sorts. For that he needed to be a prematurely balding, weak chinned, beady eyed human with a few scars from his "adventures" who looked like he was kept out of jail only due to his parent's influence and status as a nobleman.
Then I discovered you couldn't make people look too old, there's no option for giving someone bad skin or pox marks or whatever, there's no stubble/beard style that mimics the "hasn't bothered to shave in the last week" look, and I can't give him scars of any sort. The beady eyes and scrawny neck with balding hair I can manage at least but still it's a bit of a letdown from Mass Effect where I created my character perfectly.

Guess you sided with the Order in The Witcher.
Racist.
