    Yes, why would we buy a game that is well made, engaging, lasts a long time, gives plenty of incentive to play again and fun, rather than spend our money on something else that doesn't exist is beyond me too.

    PS - you obviously haven't looked too closely at this game as while the story is quite restricted in a GTA way, the options in the dialogue trees do give different results, even small choices early on will alter the possible endings.

    It does have isometric view. Indirectly this is what the grand-parent is complaining about. When you zoom-out the camera zooms up and changes perspective to finally end up in top-down isometric view.

    So get back on the lawn young man!

    Dragon Age is another live-action roleplaying game

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    Also, I mostly play DAO for the awkward sex scenes.

    You can have it. Dragon Age is highly moddable and has a very active modding community. No surprise nudity mods are among them. Have a look at http://www.dragonagenexus.com/ that is one of the biggest mod pages.

    PC version only, of course.
