If I had to describe, it's a fusion of Final Fantasy, Dungeons and Dragons, your standard fantasy setting, and a bit of KotOR.
Plot is very simplistic: You get inducted into what basically amount of paladins to fight off a horde of what I describe of as "undead demons", and there are traitors, and crap like that.
Doesn't stop it from being fun though (though they can do without the random battle feature).

If they like RPGs, then I would definitely recommend this game. It's got all the standard RPG mechanics while still being very fun to play.
If they don't, then I won't force this onto them. It certainly is a massive change in pace from other RPGs, unless you played D&D or KotOR.

Well then I think I might pick this one up for Christmas. I'm kind of a sucker for D&D and this game looks really cool

Ah yes. THAT guy. Strange, he was rather easy for me. Sure I got one injury (I swear that the Templar guy whose name eludes me suffers from The Worf Effect).

Sounds like a standard dungeon crawler to me, although that may just be the use of dungeon in the sentence.

By "Dungeons and Dragons" I mean the leveling system, the prestige classes, the party system, quest types, combat especially, and the basic plotline.
Can't get any more generic for a fantasy game if you delve into "hero joins paladins and goes off to kill a powerful monster with an unreasonably small party".
That was objectionable!

I really like that my own responses and decisions have such a huge effect on how things play out. (I don't want to spoil anything, but some of the choices you have to make around the end of the game are difficult choices.)
The only thing that really disappointed me was that I devoted a whole bunch of time and energy to trying to turn Alistair gay for my male main character...but I guess it's only possible with mods to the pc version. I'm playing on my PS3. :( Oh well, we'll be best buds for life, anyway.

Some party members are downright useless, though. It saddens me.

I was a elf mage, so I suppose some things were actaully really easy for me (apparently warriors, etc, are really hard to use), and it was pretty much a breeze for me.
The only things that gave me grief were the bosses in the Mage's Tower (EVIL EVIL EVIL DEMONS) but other than that, yeah, it was fun all the way through.
In terms of graphics, weelllll....it could certainly be alot better. I understand that it's been in development for ages, but Mass Effect 1'n'2 were out pretty speedily.
As for the characters, I love 'em! My favourite was Alastair (damn! No MxM other than Zevran!-ahem) and Wynne was a close second. Bioware does wonders in the dialog trees, as they always have, so each convorsation is fulfilling.
Yay! :D

I especially love how there's so much flexibility in the plot; your decisions really affect what goes on around you. And it has such an emotional impact on the player because of it. Another thing I really like about this game is how much depth there is. Have you read the Codex entries? There's so much backstory in there, so much history, and man am I a sucker for story. The battles make for good challenge too; it's not a game where you can hack and slash all the way through.
Needless to say, two thumbs up from me. Would recommend this game to anyone in a heartbeat.
