The game is steadily approaching and I think it's going to be great - I've got faith in Bioware. Now that the deadline for the free upgrade to the Bioware Signature Edition is past, I guess they're allowed to put it out on Steam. See the store page here. Apparently there's more pre-order content, that the Steam version gets as well - I'm guessing this is in addition to the Signature Edition? As well as two in-game items, there's this place called 'the Black Emporium.'
It sounds a bit like the Cerberus Network, but with physical interaction in game. This image pops up when you go to the Dragon Age site, clarifying a bit more: Anyway, I know many people aren't too stoked on DAII as compared to DA, so rage away.
