GamesBeat only gave it 87/100, which I found surprisingly low. They laid out their reasons pretty well though:

Basically comes down to:

* Combat grows stale after a short while. Not much depth to the monsters or strategies.
* Graphical bugs abound.
* Crafting materials are so rare and expensive, it's not worth bothering with considering you'll get upgrades from questing more easily/often.
* Several reviews have mentioned disappointment with the storyline -- too vague, not very engaging, your choices don't matter much, etc.

Those sound like pretty damning 'cons', but the 'pros' must make up for it considering the scores. Can't wait.

Pre-ordered.

Ditto. You'll be able to pre-install the game tomorrow. And the game will be playable starting Monday 9pm PST .

Pre-loaded and ready for Monday night!

Haven't been able to pull the trigger on pre-ordering the deluxe edition. Would like to hear from you guys first hand if you don't mind!

I pre-loaded the digital deluxe (xtra 10$ after 60$ is laughable) so I went for the mounts!

Yeah, I lol'd at the price too. I still bought it of course, but damn. Game prices be crazy.

I am probably going to start out as a Human Warrior.

Humans seem like the obvious choice for Rogues and Mages. I think there's an argument to be made for Dwarves and Qunari as Warriors though. Since there's no healing in the game outside of potions, their damage resistance could be really valuable.

I'm not sure what I'm going to make. I played rogue-like characters in DA1 (daggers) and DA2 (bow), and rogues in DA3 looks even better. But I'm kinda leaning towards a Human Mage this time around. No idea what specialization I'll pick.
