By Luke Plunkett on June 17, 2009 at 8:30 PM

The good news? Most of you should be able to get by those minimum requirements. The… other news? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 20GB install before. Wonder what the 360 version looks like…

    20GB… hope the game is as epic as its install size.

    I miss BG and I am praying this will be an equally impressive game.

      Ditto. Being a huge Baldur’s Gate fan, two “alright but not great” (in my opinion) NWN games in a row has left me a little cynical of Bioware’s ability to hit the AAA target with it’s fantasy D&D-style offerings. I’ll be watching to see what happens with Dragon Age, but I’m not holding my breath.

    Thats a pretty meaty recommended CPU requirement, I’m willing to bet you wont actually need that, best CPU usage I can get out of my Q9550 is around 70% in Unreal Engine 3 titles.

    Whoosh–that went way over my head.
    Maybe I’ll pick it up in 2011 (T-T) when I get back home and have a real gaming PC.
    When is this going to be released again?
