Dragon Age is the greatest RPG to come out in the last 10 years.

Ten years ago, BioWare greated Buldar's Gate, wildly considered the best of the 'golden age' RPGs. (Planescape: Torment and Fallout are the other two contenders) Blizzard, however, created the popular World of Warcraft and Diablo franchises - an MMO and action-RPG whose model has come to dominate the RPG fields.

Last year, BioWare released Dragon Age, a traditional, single-player RPG that showed the industry that this form of RPG was still popular and viable.

If you loved Dragon Age, GET OUT AND VOTE FOR BIOWARE AGAINST BLIZZARD!

Vote and post here why you loved Dragon Age. The story? The characterization? That it wasn't another MMO?

I love Dragon Age because of the companions -something you won’t find in Diablo or WoW. My favorite is Leliana, but I find them all interesting and nuanced.

*cue the raging of a million Troika/Bethesda fans*

I voted mainly because I've never been into any Blizzard game. Only game from them I played back in the day was Warcraft 1.

BioWare is the best... nuff said, no other developer makes you care for the story, character, and world as much as BioWare does, it truly makes you emotionally connected with the events. Sometimes the plots they use are sorta simple, but who cares when they are presented in such amazing manners!

To be fair the companions in WoW are real people, there's surely something to be said for that, unless you meet one of the many complete idiots that you couldn't really miss last time I played, but I met some pretty cool people too. It's hard for me to comapre the two though, the only Blizzard game I've played is Warcraft, which seems pretty incomparable to BG and DA, I guess I should try Diablo or Old Republic...

The idea that alot of those Bilzzard voters are Alliance, though... grrr...

What I love about Age is the characters. They aren't warn out character designs, and for once in a long time the characters have personality

Here's a little hint about WoW.  (Heck, it applies to Diablo as well for some players, even Diablo II for even more players.)

You can have companions in those games—companions who are usually connected to real live human beings elsewhere on the planet (possibly even in the same room).  In theory, the variety of such companions is limited only by the size of their respective game's playerbase, and there's an added element of potential interactions outside the confines of that particular game.

In practice, well… real live human beings tend to be lunatics, triply so when they think they're veiled in a haze of interweb anonymity.  At least Dragon Age's companions* can't lurch drunkenly over to your house, crash in through a window, and crawl into bed with you after raiding your fridge to make themselves a grape jelly and swiss cheese sandwich with olive relish, baking soda, and the remnants of a 2-liter bottle of ginger ale (and no bread).  Not to promote a stereotype or anything.

*EDIT: Yes, I know, Oghren would if he could, but there's a bug in his A.I. that thankfully currently prohibits this.

I've never played a Blizzard game, although I do have Atari Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege II, which were both good, but Neverwinter Nights and NWN2 were better and earlier than DS and DSII.

I think BioWare is, hands down, the best developer out there exactly for the above mentioned Quote by Donkeycow!  Cannot wait for, hopefully, Dragon Age 2!

Haha Bioware's stomping Blizzard. All is right with the world.

[Mass Fraud]

Why did it have to be Blizzard of all other rpg developers.

I love both companies...arrrrrgh!

[Rulian]

Comparing apples to oranges? Tough call but Bioware wins.



One party offers far superior story, rpgs, community support and more story while the other provides superior polished fun gameplay.



Why'd you post this on April Fool's day? Wouldn't yesterday or tomorrow be more appropriate? By posting it today people may not take it seriously.

[Kekse2k]

@Rulian - The prank is that it is actually being considered a competition. P'shaw. *lol* I joke, Blizzard has its merits in MMO-hood (personally, I prefer Warcraft as opposed to WoW) but is lacking in significant and varied IPs. It's exciting to see that BioWare is still expanding in its own way. And, I liked Dragon Age because it had excellent characterization and emotionally scarring moments...okay, well maybe not scarring, but close 'nuff.

I would vote but BW are not in the Most Bugged Game of 2009 or Worst Customer Support section.

I get a sense of righteous indignation when Bioware is given the benefit of the doubt and people let things slide just because they are a big name who could afford  expensive marketing and promotion on the top review websites.

Reviewers were very harsh with Drakensang's flaws, when that game had fewer bugs and more optimized performance than Dragon age...just because Drakensang was made by a relative no-name (although they are popular in Germany) and couldn't afford to make big ads on the game review websites.

The so-called best RPG of the last decade (more like the most promoted rpg of the last decade. remember those giant ads that took over an entire webpage?) had a huge edge over their competitors when it comes to production values.

And to think that Maria Calliban actually calls herself a Lovecraft fan ? For shame ! Stick to Stephenie Meyer, horror-fan wannabe.

[Wyndham711]

Tough call, BioWare is definitely the strongest RPG maker (at least in terms of strongly character and story driven RPGs which are my passion), but overall I think Blizzard can't be beaten. They are the gods of gaming. Blizzard has the hammer in the form of RPGs and the anvil in RTSs. But if this vote is to be given strictly on the basis of RPGs, BioWare gets mine.

Isn't it funny how threads devoted to hyping up (and essentially marketing) BioWare get stickied, while ones dealing with game-breaking issues get ignored?



I love you guys.

[Terra_Ex]

I'll vote for BW for making the only rpg to even come close to BG2 & PS:T in a decade - totally engrossing with a superb cast and masterful party banter. This is strictly talking pre-patch 1.03 of course. I've not been too impressed by Blizzard's glorified chatroom, err WoW, but Starcraft 2 does look pretty nice.

exactly, bugs get brushed under the carpet, or at least under a bunch of forum posts.

[Ealdred]

What I loved about Dragon Age? In short, EVERYTHING! The immersion is second to none, I've never felt so involved in a game as I do in Dragon Age, and as much as the big choices with no clear good/evil path pain me to make, I really like when choices like that are implemented.

[Lucy Glitter]

For all the faults in Awakening, it still beats out Blizz as a company.

[Mehow_pwn]

Neh it doesnt.. blizzard has done simply too good games.. Im sorry ,but there are still over 90.000 people playing war3.. And that just US east

[Kulyok]

Dragon Age is one of the coolest games ever. But I never had any bugs or issues with Blizzard's Diablo II.



Anyway, putting game companies against each other is silly. I'd just buy Dragon Age 2 and Diablo 3, too, when it comes out.

[e1team]

Blizzard have become too repetitive lately for me.

I loved playing DA:O, DA:A great games, I also played all the NWN2, Diablo2, warcraft/starcraft, and all the Dungeon Siege games they are all good games, as far as WOW- I learned my leason a long time ago with games like as ashrion's call - if I cant play single player and have to rely on some online server and then pay a monthly fee- nope wont do it lets not forget about hellgate although I can still play it on single player.

and I have not experianced any bugs.....none - nada on either DA:O or DA:A

my vote for rpg would be bioware..... or microsoft DS and AOE, blizzard is worn out and one dementional....maybe will do better w/Diablo 3 but the WOW graphics are not really all that great

AND one more point is Dragon Age is one of a handfull of Games that uses Physx tech
