Too little too late. I think bioware has officially alienated the PC crowd. They turned down NWN2, turned their back on D20, and wanted to strike out in a different path. I say let them have it.

Lets not forget about Dragon Age. I know theres very little information on it, and its long overdue for an official announcement about it, but if you go on their forums and read up on the developers postings, they are still very much at work on a true, deep PC RPG.

I've been waiting for this announcment for a long time, it's really good news. Bioware makes the best RPG's around, and I'm sure she ain't gonna dissapoint PC users.

actually this one isnt that good.
first off, the game was very short and even the story didnt feel up to par with other bioware releases. a bit jumpy and not as epic.

I just read the IGN review and I'm looking forward to it. 9.9 outta 10. I'm just worried about controlling the game with a keyboard and mouse.

it's v.similar to KOTOR but with martial arts instead, thought it was an excellent game that ended too quickly, maybe they could do a fable and release the lost chapters or something..

Well not really.
You only control one character in JE, you do all the fighting yourself, directly in control as opposed to KOTORs pause-click-wait-your-pc-performs-interface.
And as alot of people have already said, JE is really quite a short game. Both KOTORs were long and epic on a whole different scale.
Gaming - Intel Quad Q9450 @ 3.2GHZ | Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB | SB X-Fi | PC6400 8GB | 300GB Velociraptor
HTPC - Antec Fusion Remote | AMD Athlon 7850 X2 | PC6400 2GB | 74GB Raptor
Server - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ | Radeon HD 3450 | SB X-Fi | PC5300 2GB | 4TB+ total space

I could have mentioned that but decided not too. I think that's the main difference, but the feel and look of the game, probably owing to the engine, feel very similar
plus kotor isn't a big game either tbh, certainly not on the scale of their older stuff
never too late for a decent conversion, especially if they put some work into updating the graphics, but this should have been released at least 6 months ago
