I played Oblivion for three years and it is one of my favourite games of all time.

I have been playing Dragon Age for three weeks, and I think it is just superb. I'm loving it.

But they are completely different games. Chalk and Cheese.

Everyone should play both of them (plus Mass Effect !).

And everyone should give Morrowind a chance. It's better than Oblivion apart from the graphics.

This is not a comparison thread. Just getting that out of the way.

I'm contemplating buying the Ultimate Edition of DA when it's released, but I want to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. I'm greatly enjoying the game Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion, and I'm wondering if that means I'll also like this game. Anyway, I hope there's lots of people here who've also played Oblivion, cause I have three questions for you:

1. Is the world of DA as massive and in-depth as Oblivion's?
2. Does DA provide the same degree of freedom as Oblivion? (ie can explore and do quests on my own terms, etc)
3. Overall, if I greatly enjoy Oblivion, am I likely to feel the same way about Dragon Age?

(My apologies if a topic like this already exists)

1. Both games have a deep, detailed lore.

However, with DAO, the game is very story driven and focuses more on this lore.

Oblivion focuses more on the world and surroundings and the freedom to explore, so it's more detailed graphically with dynamic weather, day/night cycle, plants that sway around in the breeze, characters that have their own daily routines etc.

2. In Oblivion you can go pretty much anywhere and do anything, if you want to travel from Imperial city to Skingrad you can either take the scenic/exploration route or quick travel.

In DAO it's pretty much all quick travel, which sometimes gets interupted and you have to fight - (I say 'quick' travel, but sometimes it can take a while to load up a new location).

In Oblivion, you can fight any way you want to using magic, mind control, summons, weapons, stealth, speed, range etc. Heck, you don't even have to fight, you could simply sneak past enemies.
Getting sneak attacks from huge distances away with my enchanted bow was a particularly enjoyable tactic I employed regularly

In DAO, you're locked into tactical squad combat where each of your sqaud member has certain attack, defence or support abilities that you must decide when it's most appropriate to use.

3. They're different types of games - there's no guarantee that you'll like DAO if you enjoyed Oblivion.

I was a hardcore Oblivion fan - I did about 4 playthroughs clocking between 150-200 hrs for each character.

When I got DAO, it wasn't until I completed it once and started my second character that I began to get to grips with the combat system and fully appreciate the game.

Some people might pick it up straight away, some might not have the patience to learn but the loss is theirs, and to quote the game, "more the fools are they".

Massive enough so that you won't get disappointed



2. Does DA provide the same degree of freedom as Oblivion? (ie can explore and do quests on my own terms, etc)

No. But this game is strongly story driven.



3. Overall, if I greatly enjoy Oblivion, am I likely to feel the same way about Dragon Age?

You'll love this game. Period.
