It's based on D&D rules.

This game was made before BioWare got bought up, and there are a TON of player dialogue choices so voice acting would have been really expensive.

Yes. Once you get past the origin tale and become a grey warden things get going.

I have no clue, whatsoever, what this means. Is there a quick-and-easy explanation? Or should I go ahead and start looking some future reading material to get me up to speed?

It's been a month or two since I last played it, but basically I don't have any clue what most of the traits/attributes actually do in-game (with the exception of the obvious ones like strength), and I have no clue what skills/abilities I need to try to be using. I have leveled up multiple times, each time dumping points into traits like strength (being a warrior and all) and unlocking what I thought would be a useful combat-related skill, then once I get into combat I have no clue how to employ that skill (are there "passive" skills, maybe?). Damn, I am realizing I really don't have a clue how to play this game.

This was the most confusing for me at first. This gift guild will help a lot.

Bioware needs to finish this game so they can start working on KOTOR 3. That's my hope.
