I love Mass Effect 1 & 2, best games ever. Since I have beat 1 & getting ready to finish 2, I was wanting to get a new game soon & was thinking about Dragon Age: Origins or maybe Fallout 3. Which do you guys like better?  Is DA anything like ME?

[Onyx Jaguar]

No, Dragon Age is more derivitave of older games like KOTOR and the late 90s early 2000s D&D games. You'd have to try it to see if you like it. But if you didn't like those games then I dunno.

[vhatever]

Fallout 3 is more like ME than DAO. So is Borderlands and whole host of other games.

ME series is an sc-fi action based shooter with RPG elements.

DAO is pure high fantasy RPG with action based elements(or not, depending on how often you pause).

All you need to do is take a look on youtube or something and see the difference in gameplay. The gameplay is completely different and setting is completely different(high fanatsy versus sci-fi).

tbh Fallout 3 lasted longer in my blood than Dragon Age Origins will ever be in my life. Still both great games.

[AnathamaDye]

I spent the whole summer/fall JUST playing Fallout 3.  It is one of my favorites (besides ME2).  I also love Dragonage, you really get into the story.  But I would say to play Fallout 3 first then Dragonage.  You'll spend hundreds of hours on it.  Also get the game of the year edition, comes with ALL the DLC.  And Bethesda really knows how to make their DLC.

Did you hear about the new Dragon Age DLC? It's pretty cool sounding.

[Blk_Mage_Ctype]

Put it this way, they're not really very much alike at all, but I'll tell you this...



It's got big choices like Mass Effect, and LI's, an epic story, and the spell system works the same way as ME's Tech/Biotics system. (Hold down R2, wheel comes up, select your move, release, move happens)



I got Dragon Age: Origins recently, and I'm enjoying it very much.

So if that's any indication of whether or not ME fans can enjoy DA, there ya go.

[2papercuts]

both are very well done games

dragon age has great characters and is overall a great game

but...

fallout 3 is my favorite game and the open world is amazing

[adidaz]

I was meaning alike as in story depth etc, but they both sound like great games. I loved playing Oblivion & I heard Fallout was like that but with guns lol but then I heard a lot about Dragon Age too. I'll probably end up getting Fallout first & rent Dragon Age to make sure I like it, I'm not sure I like the total rpgs.. But yeah, thanks for the input!

[KalosCast]

Story-Wise, it kind of feels like Mass Effect in Middle Earth. With a healthy dose of Neverwinter Nights 2.

[Crixt]

DA:O for PC is like Baldur's gate, for 360 it's more like NWN2

[Darth_Trethon]

Tough call....both are amazing games....I would recommend Fallout 3 because it looks better, has a lot less glitches and if n the 360 you can download some heavily modded files people posted on Modio to enjoy all kinds of great mods.....hell people have even converted PC game saves of fallout 3 into 360 saves. Plus Fallout 3 is a much larger world with full free roam and do whatever.....it will likely take hundreds of hours over DAO.

[Jsmith0730]

I'd go with FO3. Change it up for a bit with a game where you can pretty much be/do anything you want.

[adidaz]

In either Fallout or DA can you choose between a male or female character?

[Jsmith0730]

Yeah for both.

And just IMO laser/plasma guns/rifles > swords

Nothing like a good ol'-fashioned slo-mo disintegration in FO3.

lol it was all about Oblivion there for awhile but after playing ME2 I want to shoot more, sword fight less. How is the story line in FO3 over all?

[Tahlec]

FO3 was probably my all-time favorite game... until ME2. I recently loaded up FO3 and played around a bit and it definitely made me appreciate the cinematic improvements found in ME2 from a storytelling standpoint. Primarily, I really think Bioware's method of various camera angles and camera pans during dialog scenes is far superior to Bethesda's "zoom-in-real-close-and-stop-time" method of interacting with NPCs.



But, aside from that, I still think FO3 is a fantasic game. But I played it to death before and probably don't have much more I can do with it (of course, I'm doing the same thing now with ME2). Still, I'm definitely looking forward to FO:New Vegas this fall which is basically the FO3 engine and mechanics with a whole new story (maybe I'll play that one forever until ME3 comes out).



And, for what it's worth, I also played through DA:O twice. A very well done game, but I've personally never been a fan of party-based, pause-a-lot fantasy RPGs (which is odd because I like the squad-based, pause-somewhat implementation in ME/ME2). But, generally, as far as fantasy is concerned, I prefer Oblivion over DA:O (at least gameplay wise).

The storyline is typical for Bethesda games. There to give those who WANT a story something to do, but the game, overall, is more about free-roaming. You can probably finish the MQ (without expansions) in an afternoon. I've heard that some of the DLCs are actually better than the MQ, story-wise.

[Darth_Trethon]

The story has a different tone than that of your typical RPG.....the most common element you'll find all over is irony as the pre-war world is the way people in the 50s and 60s imagined the future and the heavy theme of a big happy family....or whatever is left of it as everything is in ruins and everyone struggles to survive. I really liked the story though so without spoilers I'll just say that your goal is to make a significant difference.....and the ending is a shocker if you have not been spoiled.

Pretty poor storyline(improves a lot with the DLC). But good enrionment, and very open-ended sandbox style, like oblivion.

I was never so diappointed with game ending than FO3, because while playing it you thought it had some much potential. And then suddenly it's over as soon as it seems it just began.

[Jsmith0730]

I'm so looking forward to FO4. Vegas, baby!

[Lisa]

Play both, and then some. If your like my sister though (more work than play) I'd say FO3 is more worthy of your time. All DLC was pretty much worth worth it also. Played the game for more than a year, Dragon Age, maybe four months, if that.

Bethesda DLC is generally better, yes.

That being said, I wouldn't get Mothership Zeta, waste of money. Operation: Anchorage has some nifty gear, but the content itself kinda sucks. The only DLC I really liked were The Pitt and Broken Steel, but a lot of folks also seemed to like Point Lookout.

[DaringMoosejaw]

Until I touched the first Mass Effect, the only Bioware game I ever played was Neverwinter Nights 2. When I tried out ME1, I immediately noticed resemblances. I think you'll notice the same if you try out DA:O. If you liked Mass Effect, I think you'll like Dragon Age even if it's switched up.
