I am wholeheartedly joining in in the thanks.
This is one of the best CRPGs in a long time in my mind without a shadow of doubt.
As for my favorite part of the game that would be companions (or origin stories) in general. I haven't cared this much about my companions in a CRPG since Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape Torment. [COMPANION SPOILERS] Even though I was kinda disappointed they went with Bioware's "sex as a reward" approach to romance pay-off, aside from that part the romance with Sebille (the only one I tried so far) was written exceptionally well and was almost as good as the ones I remember fondly from BG 2 [/SPOILER].
