So this is what Obsidian has been working on. After trying Baldur's Gate II maybe a year ago, this looks intriguing. I enjoyed BGII except for a constant bug that prevented me from turning in quests.
I was close to supporting it, but held off. Like Mustard said, it doesn't look like its really doing anything new, it just looks like another iteration of a DnD style RPG.
And since I kind of missed that wave of RPGs, I'm ok with that.
