Is any of the other stuff worth getting? I'm mildly interested by Warden's Keep but that could just be because there's a guy in the party camp trying to flog it to me.

A bit reminiscent of System Shock in places as well, though not quite on the same level.

I think the geth need to be referenced because otherwise there's no weight to Legion's reveal.Edit: No need to make any reference to the Geth, as there are no decisions about the geth to be imported. The comic makes it clear that Saren and Sovereign are the major antagonists. The geth are tools (however you wish to interpret that description).
In any case, Genesis appears to be utter tripe, so I certainly won't be spending money on it. Honestly I feel sorry for the PS3 players who'll have to put up with it rather than ME1.

#492070 What's your take on Hawke?

Dragon Age Series
What does concern me though is what they've told us so far about what Hawke was doing when the Blight hit. Apparently s/he was in Lothering and fled Ferelden altogether rather than fight against the darkspawn. It sounds like Hawke was certainly capable of fighting rather than being just a child or something, yet chose not to. That means that Hawke is already painted as being either cowardly or completely self-interested to the extent that s/he just doesn't care about anyone else. Unless they give him/her a very good reason for fleeing (though what is more urgent than a Blight?), it could well annoy me.
#514492 KOTOR II Question...

KotOR Series
No, I mean that's he an interesting character with a great presence. He's scary both in what he believes and in his appearance. You'll find him roaming restlessly about your ship and he still has chains on his hands. His story is very unsettling and having him around leads you to see some weird parallels with the Exile. Hanharr feels there is a certain kinship, but I'll go no further. Without trying to say too much, he provides an interesting take on those positive aspects of wookiees (honour, duty, life debts, etc.) in context of his warped nature.
I find him frightening but compelling. Your mileage may vary, but I think people are missing out by not doing at least one dark side playthrough, in large part due to Hanharr.

Seems better than the Equalizer pack at least but I still don't know if I'm going to bother buying it. I've heard good things about the Incisor but I'm a little uncertain still.
Also, one important question:
Why the hell can't BioWare design headgear that doesn't look absolutely retarded? I mean, really, the kestrel helmet looks nearly as dumb as the crap in the Equalizer pack.

Also, if the protagonist's surname is Hawke, I will be tempted to call him "Ebon"...

I am interested by this decade thing. All Bioware's other efforts I've played take place over an indeterminate amount of time that seems like a few months at the most. A whole decade would mean they'd have to factor in political changes, economic changes (stores are going to sell up and go or move in!), people dying, people getting older, growing up, etc. There'd even be pressure for the romances to be deeper than they have been previously. 10 years is more than enough time for serious relationships to develop after all.

I'm irritated by the timing rather than the cost right now. All this new content when I'm starting to look for employment!

They didn't make it available until after it should have been and when everyone (myself included) downloaded it, it didn't even work because they put the wrong thing up. I don't understand how they've managed this since the Xbox version has been available (and not broken) for several hours before the PC version was scheduled for release. Pathetic.

Some fantastic fights in there. All in all, it rocked!

I guess though that this will mean the dark ritual ending to Origins itself isn't going to play a major role in DA2, if we can conclude that storyline here. That's not a criticism, mind you, I fully expected and understand why they would do that.

But in answer to the question, BG2 is basically the second best thing ever so I voted for that.
