I am happy to say that mine also arrived today. My husband is feeling sooo much better, so I will probably start playing soon!

I'm interested - is it a RPG? fIRST OR 3RD PERSON? I'm interested -is it an RPG? 1at or 3rd person? Rowan, if I were you, I'd finish one game before I started a new one. I can only play one at a time, too.

From what I can tell by the reviews and the gameplay videos, it's 3d person. It's purported to be in the vein of Neverwinter Nights.
You guys got me researching the game and now I'm hooked. I ordered mine from Interact and Dave usually gets games to me in a couple of days.
Since Divinity 2 isn't scheduled until December, (which probably means Jan if I'm lucky) I'll have a couple of months to play this game.

Hi Maggie... According to the manual (please look at page 9) http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/manuals/GAME-DRAGONAGE/Manuals.zip(note you will a program to open the zip files such as 7-zip; the source for the info about the manual is here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/9/index/69466 ) you'll need to RIGHT-CLICK to move and interacts with object i.e. open doors, attack enemies and so on. I don't know this is? Maybe because left clicking is used for something else...? Left-clicking in this game is used for selecting things you want to do i.e. drinking a potion from a quickslot, selecting a party member, opening a door etc. Or dragging a box around them to get them to move - by clicking om your right mouse button (RMB). To zoom, you'll need to click your mousewheel - to rotate the camera click and hold the RMB (right mouse button). There is no info in the manual (that I can find that you'll need to go into the game's options menu and change the controls to 'mouse only'. It'll be worth a shot, though, I think... /Karsten

I ordered mine from Dave at Interact last night and should have it in a couple of days. Maybe in time for some serious late night gaming this weekend!

Mine now has the status "Packing"  Although I am actually still meandering along through Morrowind. [I am thinking Morrowind is set to be a permanent fixture on my machine  ]

Karsten-  My page nine has the Class and Class Benifits on it only, nothing about moving or how to move at all. Thanks maggie  :witch: Hi Maggie Sorry about that  It was the UK version of the manual I've found... You, being in the US, will need to look at page 6 You still move by clicking the right mouse button, though. Here's the relevant quote from the US Manual on page 6: To execute most actions, right-click the mouse. Right-clicking on an object makes your currently selected character take appropriate action—attack an enemy, talk to a friendly character, loot a corpse,open a door, pull a lever, and so forth. You can also right-click on the ground to direct your character to move to that location if you don’t feel like using the keyboard to move. You'll need to look under complete controls or general controls in the manual; don't know if you have the CE version or not? It should be mentioned on page 6-7 though in the manaul for the US version of the game.
