Good stuff.
Excellent implementation of mature ruleset within a decent, and improving, engine. Bioware has alot of experience with RPGs, and it shows. The offline modules are fun, but the game really shines when played online, despite some questionable (admittedly improving networking code). The emergent loosely knit, dynamic community surrounding the game is more than just the mirror of (excellent) community based design descisions. The fanbase is immense with lots of innovation and good hearted collaboration. As a programmer, there are some design descisions I would have made differently, but there are workarounds for most issues. The comradery on good servers is downright humbling, even if a bit juvenile. The interface is good... perhaps a bit simple for seasoned players. Definately an excellent springboard, and worth a look.
