How will Dragon Age stand out?

I just hope Darcy and David make it that it has some features to the game that will make it stand out, at least against NWN2.
You think so? Gosh, thanks for the tip!

Well, so far I haven't seen any except the original world/rules system and thats covered by TES IV.
And that would probably because we really haven't gone into detail on the features, yet.

Are you so sure having Gaiderish NPCs will be a good thing? I mean Deekin is nice and all, but he's no Fall-From-Grace or Morte.
Not every character I write is a Deekin, genius, nor is every NPC a comedy character in any of the games we've done.
