This. It would be better suited in the Off-Topic section. You get fair answers there, too.

For what it's worth, I love them both, but Mass Effect happens to appeal a lot more to me.

This question has been asked before on both the ME and DA forums. On the ME forums the responses are always in favor of ME. On the DA forums the responses are always in favor of DA.

Personally, I like them both. ME and DA are very different.

I like DA, but I love ME. I enjoy combat in ME way more then DA. Plus, having a voiced main character makes a huge differance for me!

Also, I have done fantasy my whole life, so Sci-Fi is a nice change of pace.

I love them both but out of the two Mass Effect, because I like the setting better. Also, Liara > Morrigan.

Liara does not look like a smurf!!  And the answer is a lot of people do.

Duh.

Personally, while I like both, I find ME more compelling. I'm a shooter by trade anyway.

Asking that in the Mass Effect forum won't give you objective answers. Furthermore, there are 2 ME games and so far only one DA game, where as the second ME has choosen a different direction and target audience than the first.



As for the grafics, Dragon Age with JBtextures has hardly worse grafics than Mass Effect (1) and it even shares many animations.



ME (1) has a higher appeal to me at first due to the setting which is a homage to old school scifi other than the done to death fantasy setting of DA. However, I feel that DA has a lot more depth and many characters that don`t appear so interesting in the begining really grow due to lots of dialogue, interaction and reaction with the environment and other party members. That is something which the first ME only had to very small extends and is completely missing from the sequel, where each character gets their 15 minutes of fame and end up beeing mindless slaves that follow you arround for the rest of the game, totally ignoring others and the environment. Their only point is too look cool. DA is a lot more mature in that regard, which for me leads to more involvement.

I prefer Mass Effect because it has graphics and gameplay developed in this decade. I agree with Vena_86 that ME lacks a real connection with NPCs due to the lack of diaologue with each one. I'd prefer fewer characters with more dialogue per character.

[Oblivious]

Asking on the Mass Effect forums which game is better is like going to the Call of Duty forums and asking which is better, CoD or Halo. Everyone's biased and claim despite both being the same genre they're completely different and should be held to different standards.



Aside from that fact, DA:O in terms of the game ME in terms of the DLC

[Ryuukishi]

I'd vote the Mass Effect series, mostly on the strength of Mass Effect 2 (ME1 had amazing story and atmosphere, but the gameplay itself was not so great). Though I'm seriously excited for Dragon Age II, it looks killer based on what they've shown so far.

[theelementslayer]

Just to throw it in there. The Call of Duty Series, thats right I said it.

[Lumikki]

Hard to say, because they are little different type of games.

DAO is more to traditional RPG in fantasy. I liked it tactical combat, but story and gameplay is little booring. Npcs and companions using voice as background talk is great idea. RPG attributes and skills just sucks. In general it's nice game but I would put this in same category as Kotor 1.

Mass Effect serie is more cinematic sci-fi action adventure. ME1's story and atmosphere is great, but combat isn't really that good. More like leeroy style of combat. In ME2 the combat is better, but story is suffering from so many companion related missions. Both ME's has full voice acting, even on players character.

Both games are good to play, but I think I would choose Mass Effect, if I had to pick just one. Mostly because Mass Effects are "bigger" experience than DAO. DAO is like mmorpg with better graphics.

ME2 > DAO > ME1



As for the universes, sci-fi > fantasy

[JRCHOharry]

You're going to get the majority of Mass Effect votes when you're posting in a ME Discussion Forum, I do agree with DarthCaine though, ME2 > DAO > ME1. But with DA2 coming out soon, I have really high expectations for that game, I want to love Dragon Age as much as Mass Effect (or maybe more), but I just can't. I hope DA2 can change my mind!

[Stazro]

I come from classical RPG and I really like to develope my characters and collect gear, which is a point for DA, since development is virtually non-existant in ME2. Also, in comparison to ME, ME2 has improved on a number of things, but the disappointments count for the same. So, until now, I have to say DA.

It may or may not be an advantage for DA that DA2 isn't available yet...

[Cra5y Pineapple]

I hate turn based combat and although the plot and characters for Dragon Age are great, it can't beat Mass Effect. The only thing DA has over ME is squad banterfullness.

[AlbertoAquilani]

Mass Effect for me. Perhaps because I'm not that big a fan of fantasy but a huge fan of sci-fi. Space opera, cyberpunk themes are just two of the reasons why I love Mass Effect. In fact, it brings everything I do love about sci-fi and meshes it all together.

[SSV Enterprise]

I prefer Mass Effect. But both have their strengths.



Mass Effect pros:

Strong characters in 2

Epic, cinematic story

Distinctive, lush art design complimented by detailed graphics

Fun shooter mechanics, especially in 2

Brilliant soundtrack



Cons:

Lackluster interaction between NPCs

Weak inventory- too needlessly complex in 1, a bit oversimplified in 2



Dragon Age pros:

Great characters and interaction between characters

Epic, cinematic story

Decent inventory management



Cons:

Nondescript art design and subpar graphics

Combat can get boring

Unremarkable soundtrack

[Shadesofsiknas]

I started with DA before picking up ME then ME2. I had only played the Kotor games and I thought DA was the dogs nutz.



That was until I played the Mass Effect games.



Now I still love DA and played it 6 times to see all origins variations and all endings. The thing was combat got a bit dull on my first playthrough. So after 6 I dread playing it again. Im looking forward to WH on Tuesday but Id love to be able to get the story without the endless repetitive combat. I have all the DLC and Awakening and I have to say DLC for the game is filth after Wardens Keep. Reused game levels just slightly altered. Loads of them were outside the storyline of the game and added nothing to the replay value of the game. They reeked of cheaop and cheerful nickle and dimeing DLCs.



ME DLC on the other hand with the exception of Pinnacle St. has been excellent,added to the game in terms of story and were all origional pieces of work. We didnt just get Jacks loyalty mission map given a few tweaks a slight recolour, throw in some new bad guys and call it Overlord. So for me the production values of the ME team are just much higher than DA.



So in summary DA has done some things better but Mass Effect is head and shoulders above.

[MrnDvlDg161]

You know if DA only let you take what you gathered for your character for a 2nd playthrough, I wouldn't have minded as much. Wondering why they went the way they did.

Yes i totally agree!

Sci-Fi>Fantasy

space exploration is so much more interesting cause one day we will actually be doing this stuff!

Fantasy games/stories have just been overkilled for me.

[Tazzmission]

it matters to the player imo, i love mass effect because im a huge sci fi nerd, i tried dragon age and i liked what i played so far but im not big on medevil themed games and truthfully i didnt finish dao because its not my game to play
