DA:O a cheap ripoff of FFX. Or atleast a much darker (and shorter) version. The Archdemon is Sin, Loghain Mac Tir is Seymour, the Battle of Ostagar is The Battle of Mushroom Rock Road, the Grey Warden/Summoner dying to end the Blight/begin the Calm, and a few other "coidenences." Practically the only differences are at the end of FFX, Sin is permantly defeated, but there are atleast 2 more Blights (atleast according to Chantry lore), and the fact you have the option of dying (or have Allistair/Loghain dying instead).

It is just you.

[ToJKa1]

You can compare it to pretty much any story with such vague similarities.

[Herr Uhl]

It is you.



It is a pretty conventional story,

what is FFX?

It is actually the oldest story know to man - the hero's journey.



All stories that aren't Eraserhead follow this example.

Damn Bioware for ripping off Homer and The Odyssey.

I thought it matched the plot to 'My Friend Flicka' but I wasn't going to say anything.

Final Fantasy 10 - with Wakka and his dodgeball-of-death and Tidus who-was-dead-all-along ..... if it doesn't ring any bells, you are lucky.

*grumbles* Wish I was lucky like that... can't scrub the X2's dance numbers from my poor brain.....

I'm pretty sure Dragon Age had a lot more action then The Odyssey...

I'm lucky, YAY!

Nope, has nothing in common with FF series. Previous thread proved it was a direct copy of LOTR, movie version I think.

quote of David Gaider that seems very relevant here



So today the plagiarism in question is that Zevran and the character from Assassins that Antonio Banderas played:



1) have a similar voice

2) are assassins

3) are funny



...and this constitutes plagiarism? I'll assume this stems primarily from #1 and #2... Jon Curry's (that's Zevran's VA, if I remember right) voice sounds eerily like Antonio Banderas, after all. How this leads to us "copying" his character from the movie Assassins is a bit more of a mystery.



No offense to the OP, but this sort of logic seems a bit common around these parts ("these parts" meaning the Internet). Step 1: Generalize a character or story. Step 2: Find commonalities between that generalization and another character or story that you're aware of. Ignore differences. Step 3: If one came before the other chronologically, label it as "rip off" (or in this case "plagiarism").



While I suppose the argument can be made that someone wants to see something more original, it seems like this method can be (and is) used on almost anything creative. I'm not sure what it's supposed to prove. Though I imagine at least a few people will be eager to theorize on that front. http://social.biowar...icons/smile.png

But I give you this, Morrigan really made me think of Lulu, they look SIMILAIR and their abilities as well.

Final Fantasy 10.

They look similar but their personalities are completely different.  For one, Lulu is nice and acts as a mentor, whereas Morrigan is mean.

See Monomyth.

........... and an utter b*tch! Can't forget the best line about her ever!

edited to add -> was too slow and forgot to quote.

Correction, even when it's 100% different it's still identical to whatever game, movie or story a poster wants to accuse Bioware of plagiarism.

Damn you Bioware, you ripped of Shakespeare's Richard III, Omen, Harry met Sally and any other movie/game in the universe, how could you?!! 

[Tenshinhan91]

Anyhow, can anyone else see the similarities to IRL politics in the Landsmeet?
