I hope the impact will be none at all. Bleak world, dark story, and a world like a quest-tunnel withlittle to no freedom to explore. I like my MMO worlds free, open and less dark.

Borderlands have one very important feature which i hope wll be standard in next gen mmo` s. To get big fat criticals, you need to aim. The combination of the good old fps Headshot and huge numbers is fun. Try the Sniper, with all the crit enhance talents a sniper headshot does like +4x dmg - result: alot of oneshots. Melee combat is failed completely though. It dosnt work with first person view. Too chaotic, button mashingly gameplay.
Dragon Age is allso a very addictive game, with some pros and cons. I dont like the rpg rule set. Instead of specialisation you just get a ton of spells where you end up using 1/4 or suchs. Alot of wasted talent points imo. Same problem AIon have. It just dont make a lot of sense when ppl ask for character "Builds" for theese 2 games( MAx lvl build: you have all spells. Before max lvl, you have less - so much for builds). You should be able to stuff out, each spell/abillity with 5-10 points imo. ANother issue is Biowares graphic engine. It kinda sucks, at the very least it could be better. Check out Akharm Asylum.
I HAD been playing Aion since launch until DAO took over my life yesterday. Its the first game I have played since I can remember that I love THIS much. Wow, its good.
I bought Dragon Age and Torchlight. I was hoping that one of the two would be good. I got lucky, now I have two great games to play with very different styles. So far, I am pretty happy with my choices.
I quit playing any MMO about 6 months ago, 1st time in over 7 years I have not had a sub to something lol.
Recently picked up Borderlands and DA:O and lover em both. I miss my MMO's for sure, but until something I actually can get into comes out I will stick with my PS3 and PC non MMO games.
The MMO genre needs a change, either that or im just getting too damn old to play em anymore
