Now, I have played through Oblivion a few times on both PC and Console version. And after playing Dragon Age for about a week I gotta say that Dragon Age is a better game overall.

The only thing Oblvion was better about was the freedom and how you could go anywhere and do anything. But, after a while you noticed that the monsters were the same, all the caves and forts were all the same. Plus the "leveling with you" system was flawed in my opinion.

Dragon Age's replayability is better, the gameplay is more challenging (not just hack and slash) and overall is a better game.

What do you guys think?

When it comes to RPG BioWare are the kings out there,or simply,they are the best among the best.

Dragon Age > Oblivion?

I entered this statement into my truth machine. It came back with this result:

TRUE

[FrankE62]

It depends on whether you like sandbox or storyline RPGs. Personally, I'll give the nod to Dragon Age.I like the combat system better and main plot a lot better. I would give the edge in replayability to Oblivion since you aren't on rails like you are in DA.

[stevej713]

I don't think Dragon Age has better replayability, because I always felt like I was on a one way street all the time.  Also, DA didn't have nearly as much loot. It was just the same piece of armor or weapon recolored over and over again. However, DA has better characters and story.

well a truth machine? even the name sounds bias

[Zygax]

They are both good games. I think Oblivion is the better RPG, and DA is the better action game.

[Never]

Oblivion was so lonely compared to DA:O. I think DA:O is a much, much more entertaining game. Great story

I entered the statement below into my truth machine:

Open world sandbox gameplay > well crafted single player experience?

It came back with this result:

FALSE

*shrugs*, can't argue with the Truth Machine™.

I liked Oblivion better. The main reason was the enemy respawns



It's like am I really supposed to believe that no Darkspawn would ever go back to previous locations.



Oh and stealing actually had negative consequences =P

[Oliver Sudden]

They're entirely different. I like Dragon Age more and for my tastes it's better, but I wouldn't claim one is greater than the other.

[pokemaughan]

Dragon Age = set-piece = better story, less freedom



Oblivion = open-world = transparent story, tons of freedom



In the end, I prefer Oblivion.

[dgmisal041979]

Personally, I go for Dragon Age.



That's not to say that Oblivion (or Fallout 3, for that matter) was a bad game. Both were actually really good. They were a different experience, one that I personally place second to a great narrative and challenging tactical combat.



I love the party mechanic, too - a big negative to me was the solo aspect of both Oblivion and Fallout3. Either way, it is a personal thing. I have a buddy who got Dragon Age and hates it with a passion - played through Lothering, got to the Mage Tower, and finally gave the game to someone else.



I have placed Dragon Age along side the greats... still can't decide if it is better than Baldur's Gate 2 w/ expansion or not. I still think I prefer the magnificent Planescape: Torment, but it is a close call. I'm still a pencil and paper Dungeons and Dragons player, so I may be a bit biased.

Oblivion is a great game, but when it comes to RPGs I want great stories and good characters. Dragon age wins by a landslide in this department. If the whole point was to have a sandbox game, with an RPG-like character progression, there's Prototype and others. Bethesda is good, but Bioware is the best.

[zeejay21]

Each to their own. I actually enjoyed both games though I'm leaning more towards BioWare.

Oblivion is like a MMO... without everyone else.

The 'open world' only lets you do one thing, grind. I actually feel bad for Oblivion junkies. They spend all day grinding their character in a totally empty world. And to what end? So they can show off to some random NPC who is too stupid to walk around without getting stuck behind some pillar.

Its really, really sad in my opinion. Takes a 'special' kind of person to find enjoyment in a singleplayer MMO. Special in that 'man this guy really has no real life friends' kind of way.

To each his own I guess. Personally, if I am going to grind, I would at least prefer to have some friends with me so I can at least talk to someone. You know... human interaction and all that?

Oh well.

By the way, I entered the following statement into my Truth Machine™:

Open world game with 'freedom' and not much else = overrated?

It came back with this result:

TRUE

GG imo.

[andybuiadh]

Why do people use Oblivion as a benchmark? Oblivion was an average run-of-the-mill RPG in my view. Nothing *special* about it.

[thegreateski]

I asked "Cleverbot" this question.

Appearently Cleverbot IS Oblivion.

When I asked if he was sure, he told me to go make him a sandwich.

Man, how long did that take?  I played Oblivion the first time for around 40 hours and then restared and installed a bunch of mods.  My current save is a touch over 100 hours.  I got a case of ADD and went off to play something else and can't say I've came back to it very often.  I never did finish it on that 100 hour save either.

Hmm.... perhaps it's the first GTA-like RPG with first-person action?

[valis123]

Oblivion is only good with mods to be honest, though the only one thing I love about it is that it's a sandbox, but Dragon age is MUCH better, in my opinion anyway.

[Gamer-erBIO]

Only thing Dragon Age has over Oblivion is the story imo.

[bjdbwea]

DA > Oblivion
But as far as replayability is concerned:
Fallout 3 with mods > DA
also BG 2 > DA, which shows that replayability isn't primarily related to the question of open-world vs. confined levels.
