The combat is very Baldur Gate like.  It is very similar to other PC games; Planescape: Torment, Never Winter Nights, Drakensang, etc.  The basic idea is similar to Mass Effect without the same level of control of the current character, so it is quick paced, but you can pause anytime to get try and get your team organized.

The Witcher was unknown, never dominated any charts except in eastern europe, and it reached 1.2 million sales in less than 17 months. It is still selling, only recently was it available for Europe on Steam, and some recent deals made the game reach top ten in Steam, Direct2Drive and Impulse.

So why wouldn't Dragon Age sell over 4 millions on PC? It has everything going for it that The Witcher didn't have.

Yeah, like the guy above said, the combats almost flow by themselves. I love how you get introduced to it kind of gradually, because in the beginning you don't know what to do, you just let them fight but you can still manage to win battles (well, actually I found the game extremely hard at first now that I think of it, during my first 10 hours in the game I died 20 times on average on every battle lol) but later you get into it all and start micro-managing a lot more when you start to understand what is needed to win the fights.

Wait, we have figures for PC games now?

The formatting of this thread is bonkers for me.

So, shio - Since you know PCs so well, can you tell us how well Dragon Age sold?

Its selling very well considering the fact it wasn't hyped.

And yes its much better then mass effect. But it now!

Blame Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

Also, how is 200,000 units this week 'so little'?

i cant tell you how well its selling on PC, but i can say the PC version is selling faster at my Walmart then the two console versions together.
