So what's a good game to play after DA:O?  I really like this style of game but I dunno what else is out there.  Thanks.

If you haven't tried Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire or Mass Effect... they are all Bioware games bearing some similarity to Dragon Age (some more than others). Top notch games if you ask me. Otherwise, there's Oblivion... which you should mod the hell out of before playing, vanilla Oblivion is ridiculous bad. I hear alot of good things about the Witcher and Fallout 3 as well, but haven't tried them yet.

[Lord Grimnar_AzurieL]

the witcher is a good game well worth trying. FO3 is a bit like oblivion but a bit better...the problem with it is that its a big world and yeah is good but there isnt much in the world if you get my meaning

[Panderfringe]

Freecell.



Minesweeper.



Freakin' Tetris.

The games most like DA:O are BioWare's own games. I recommend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. If you don't mind something older, the Baldur's Gate collection. Jade Empire is a little different but also very good.

Mass Effect! I just played it for the first time (inspired after playing DA:O of course), and I totally fell in love. I don't usually like sci fi, but this one sucked me in. It also doesn't hurt that Mass Effect 2 is coming out in a month!

Mass Effect!
After completing Mass Effect 1, you can use your saves in Mass Effect 2 in 38 days. (yes, that's right, I am counting)
Or check out Vampire The Masquerade, which has been discussed a lot here already. Its a refreshing change from the fantasy genre.

Which part of the game is it that you like?

If it's the characters than the previous few Bioware games are a good bet as they've got the same brand of slightly too upbeat and very likeable characters but if it's the party based combat then they're a poor choice as you only control one person.

Of course if you haven't played it Baldurs Gate 2 is similar to but better than Dragon Age is most respects but the dialogue doesn't change much based on who your character is.

Is Mass Effect an RPG like DA:O, or is it a FPS?

[Gorath Alpha]

My estimate is 55% FPS and 45% RPG, but get a digital version, not the hard copy, so you can avoid the Sony Rootkit DRM included with ME.

It has a third-person shooter type of combat.  For dialog, you get a wheel which hints at the general direction that Shepard will take rather than actual words/actions unlike DA:O. Out of BioWare's 'RPG' games, Mass Effect is the most dissimilar to DA:O.

I suggest Knights of the Old Republic because it brings most of Dragon Age's elements together.

Character interaction with a diverse group of lovable misfits? Check.
Engaging main plot. Check.
Party based combat. Check.
Options between melee, ranged, and "magic". Check.

You're not faced with any moral dilemmas in the vein of Dragon Age, however. How cruel you want your character to act is mostly dependent on whether you want to be a jerk or not rather than any perceived necessity the plot suggests. KotOR is the closest BioWare game to DA in spirit though.

If you can live with only having one follower tagging along at any given time, I also suggest Jade Empire. It's a short, but amazing experience while it lasts. In some ways I enjoy it more than DA.

If you're willing to dig up unofficial patches online then I can't recommend Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines enough. There are no NPC followers and the game takes place in modern Los Angeles, but this in no way detracts from the experience. It's brimming with personality and funny dialogue, and the main storyline has some nice turns to it.

Other than those, I would consider Neverwinter Nights 2 with Mask of the Betrayer expansion. The learning curve may be steep if you're completely unfamiliar with D&D rules, but MotB tells a good enough tale to make it worthwhile.

If you're willing to go back further, try out Baldur's Gate 2. You can take one of numerous classes and travel with five out of fifteen possible companions. BG2 tells another epic tale, has some nice combat, and occasionally great dialogue. It may seem sparser than DA however, as your party doesn't have nearly as much to say and you can't interact with them at all. They choose when to speak with your character or chime into a conversation, and on the whole they still have less to say than DA's cast. Avoid BG1 like the plague if party interaction is vital to you.

You may also consider Planescape: Torment. Unlike BG2, you can approach your group whenever you want. They have a bit more to say and the whole game is much heavier on storytelling. Of the two, I feel Torment is closer to DA than BG2 in storytelling. The problem is, class selection is very limited and you are locked to a specific protagonist. It offers a lot more freedom in how to play that character though. There is more leeway in how to respond to NPCs you meet and quest solving. Whereas BG2 very often boils down to a fight no matter what you say.

Torment can be very text heavy, however. Both these games were made during a time when full voice over wasn't the norm. If you have no patience for reading paragraph after paragraph, Torment is going to grate on your nerves fast. Its combat is also very weak compared to BG2 and DA. Only consider this game if you're in it to see a good story and interesting characters.

Very much true. If you also like third person shooters, you might well like it, but if you're loking for something that plays like Dragon Age, I'd recommend several of BioWare's other games first.  Also, you might give Obsidian's Neverwinter Nights 2 a try.

[Adria Teksuni]

As a hopeless KoTOR fangurl, I have to recommend it.

[Kasumimi]

I think most conservative option is Neverwinter nights 2. But as Seagloom said, the learning curse is quite steep and the camera controls are slightly annoying

[Angie Long]

Most Bioware games since Baulder's Gate would probably suit you. KOTOR is probably the closest to DA in terms of gameplay, while NWN and BG are closer in terms of the story and setting (though, due to their age they involve a lot more reading without voiceovers if that bothers you). As others have pointed out, Mass Effect is probably less similar to it than Bioware's other games, it's a shooter/RPG hybrid whereas DA is a pure RPG. You could also try Obsidian's sequels, KOTOR 2 (though I'd suggest the missing content patch as it makes it much better) and NWN 2.

Problem with this is you are going to be disappointed fursur.  Some of the older RPG's just don't hold a candle to DAO.  I am speaking of the graphics and the voice acting mostly.

A little more information d19375, what kind of games do you like?

[AshedMan]

I started a game of Fallout Tactics.

[Wahsolger]

My favorite game of all time... is Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines.



though not a huge vampire fan in general... the story was really amazing. If you are looking for a different type of rpg, I highly recommend this one. Another example of excellent voice acting, fleshed out characters and engaging game play.

Guild Wars is similar.  It's a free to play MMO with a combat system close to DA:O's.  You can even play it single player and not even miss the other players.  Should be pretty cheap now too.
