(I played the SNES cartridge but once, then the hardtype fantran like 5 times before I got to the properly-correct Italian rendering, so it's stuck in my head the other way. XD)
Bioware's really good about not forcing romance to make plot choices, at least now. Back in NWN there was one boss fight that could be avoided if you happened to be playing a male PC and you took the romance route (such options not available as female, argh.)
The 360 actually has some really good RPGs - Lost Odyssey, for example, which is by Mistwalker (aka "Everybody who worked at Square and then left en masse when the merger with Enix happened" - Mistwalker is run by Sakaguchi and hired Uematsu to do the Lost Odyssey music, for example.) I bought it for Lost Odyssey, and only just recently bought a PS3 when the boy offered to split with me as our Christmas gift to each other.
The PSP is pretty epically awesome, though.
It's not too hard to upgrade your PC to run Dragon Age - mine is nearly 4 years old, and I souped up the graphics card and the RAM and it beats the min specs and hits the recommended in most categories. The game keeps crashing, but that appears to be a flaw in the game itself rather than my rig, as near as I can tell.
