Also, the graphics are a bit too dark for my liking, and the whole mood is very grey/bland. Maybe i'm totally wrong, as i'm judging from short snippets of gameplay and cutscenes but I amn't getting *too* excited until I play it and see. Even if the above points are true, if the gameplay is fun and rewarding it won't matter.

I suggest you go to
http://www.wardensquest.com - Bioware just finished a 24 hour live tournament for DA:O and there are (were?) a bunch of extended game play videos of the 10 teams that were competing. The game looked great to me, and it's definitely challenging. In fairness, it WAS a competition with 50,000$ at stake to the winning team so there was a LOT of pausing in the game play. As for the graphics being dark, I did NOT get that impression at all. And the PC GUI was definitely NOT a "three button" console portover.
I do agree about the Bioware social network forums though. They look cheesy.
For that matter, you can always go to Dragon Age: Journeys and try out the game there.
