Forums - Gaming Discussion - Just finished Dragon Age:Origins, incredible game, the best RPG this Gen !?

It took me some time, due to my exams but today i finally finished this amazing Game. And i absolutely loved it, i know game was released some time ago , but i just thought i share my experiences.

Story is Great very deep and mature, there is a sense of impeding doom and great epic conflict, there is a lot of cliche's but i enjoy choices which are not always clearcut.

Locations are awesome, i Mean Orzammar was like Moria in Lord Of The Rings, amazing, especially the deep trenches.

Characters: Loghain, Morrigan, Anora or Sten are among the best i've seen in a long time, there is also pretty good interaction among every character.

Battles are also great, i like that combat is much more traditional then in Fallout or Mass Effect.

Overall Dragon Age: Origins is my favourite RPG this gen, overtaking Fallout 3, The Witcher and Mass Effect. It just felt like playing something like Baldur's Gate I&II again, Bioware are truly masters of the RPG genre. Anyone else had so much fun playing this title?

It's a very good RPG, but this gen I liked Demon's Soul more.



Felt more like a Bioware game than Mass Effect and Jade Empire. Would have liked them to put in stacking commands like KotOR, would have made things a little quicker.



Good for you!



Wait for Mass Effect 2 then decide.

I enjoyed the hell out of this game. Unfortunately though the storyline began to die down near the end.

I still personally rank Demon's Souls and Tales of Vesperia over it this generation. Of course this is all personal opinion.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

It is a great game, but what about Alistair? I thought he was the best character of all!



^ Yeah, Alistair rox! I love him.

I love Dragon Age too. Incredible game.



Excellent voice acting and party chatter. Probably their best game since KOTOR.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

I'm playing now, but I have to share playtime with my gf who is playing through the game herself. This game is going to be very, very difficult for Bioware to top. Even with a title like ME2. But then again I believe I prefer the fantasy setting for my WRPGs. What made the game for me is the depth and personality and your ability to communicate and interact with your party. And the great conversations that your party members will randomly carry. It adds a lot of depth to the experiance. Morrigan is by a mile my favorite character, but that probably has a lot to do with Claudia Black's sexy voice. Sten is the only character I disliked. And by dislike I mean he is one of the worst characters ever. Alistair was pretty annoying too, but funny.
I'm hoping that ME2 has the same depth in regards to your party members and how you intereact with them.
