I can honestly say I've never been this hyped up and excited for the release of anything, let alone a game. Being related to the marketing of the game and the fanbase, I hope this isn't too OT but it's been interesting getting attached to any and every detail of promotional material or videos and dissecting them to bits just to be talking about the game for another few minutes of my life, heh. It will be so strange to actually get to know Blackwall - for instance - because I feel like we've had so much (almost desperate) fan speculation, celebration, and interest to sort of fuel the love-obssession with this game.
I think the game is definitely getting the attention of the fans and I really hope it's stealing the eye of gamers unfamiliar with the series as well. Yay Dragon Age!
