You'll find a great group of people here, just a little <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />. Everyone has been extremely nice and helpful with whatever problems I have had. They're very knowledgeable and more than willing to help.
I have been playing rpg's and other games for a loooong time. Crusader is right, if you haven't played DD yet you should play it first. It will give the background you need for BD.
Both games are the best rpg's on the market in my opinion. Voices are not an integral part of the game. They certainly could be better but the game isn't built around the voices.
This is not a game you can run through. You do have to think about what you are doing and where you are going. There are so many ways to develope your character that you really have to chose which way you want to play her/him. You also have many paths that your character can go. All this effects the game to some degree.
What I love about BD are the battlefields. They are very different from other games. OK, so I'm a hack/slasher Warrior, I love to fight. The quests are very good and take time and thought.
I have been playing for many hours and have actually lost track of how long.
I hope my thoughts on the games will help you with your decision. If you like rpg's then these are the games for you.

Enjoy,

Shelli
