Are you sure you want Jade Empire SE? Because I thought I did until I found out is had that dreaded 'console conversion problem' - what is that, you ask yourself? That is movement by camera as opposed to movement by character. What do I mean? Well, movement by camera means that if your character is facing you then the WASD system would actually be S to walk toward you, D to turn to his left, A to turn to his right and W to turn around so his back is to you. But now his back is toward you, W will now move him 'into' the screen, A will turn him to face to the left, D will face him to turn to the right and S will turn him around to face you.
Now take that system and add 5 bad guy ninja's fighting you and running around all over the place - imagine how the above control system will work for you?
So unless you are an expert joypad user, you're done for, as the often quoted WASD and mouse system that Bioware spouts on about is nothing like it, they're trying to pull the wool over PC gamers eyes... Otherwise , why would they keep mentioning the WASD and mouse system for the game?!

Yeah, I get what you mean. It was a pain in the behind to get use to, especially during combat when I first played Knights of the Old Republic. I completely lost all my sense of direction and still true to this day. It has caused me to wipe a lot of times especially when I'm surrounded, no thanks to running to the wrong places. Still, I'm glad to play Jade Empire on the PC since it was intended to be a XBOX exclusive. I'll probably enjoy Dragon Age better but it will be a looong wait for that.

I am sort of in the same boat as you - I like non-fantasy, non AD&D RPG's and games like KOTOR and Jade Empire are two of the very very very few non fantasy RPGs, so you try and put up with crappy control or whatever! But what I find worry, is Bioware going on about having the 'PC WASD and mouse system' and the media letting them get away with it! That is worrying, that a publisher can fib like that and the media can conspire with them!
