I personally was for the most part a very big fan of both Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2. However, despite enjoying both games I find myself losing interest in the series. When the second game came out I was estatic. I didn't hate the second game by any means. To the contrary I enjoyed it. However to me it lost it's replay value, and due to the way the games are connected through your decisions I always want to play another run through before playing the new game to keep the decisions and my character fresh in my mind. However, for the first time with a Bioware game I can't see myself doing another playthrough prior to a new release.

This is not due to hate for the seires, but i simply feel like im not interested in the gameplay style of dragon age anymore and may even go as far as to say it feels out dated to me. Anybody else have thoughts to weigh in?

After I finished Dragon Age Origins three years ago I came to the forums feeling successful that I beat the game. It was my first Bioware game so I was REALLY satisfied with how many choices you could make. I've never seen a game before that let you made so many choices that had impact.
Then I found Mass Effect. Mass Effect played with my emotions more then Dragon Age did, so Mass Effect will forever be a favorite now.

I'm very interested in future DA games. Despite the re-used environments, it probably wasn't until my fourth or so play through that I felt like the replay value was diminishing.

I love the DA universe almost as much as the ME universe. DA2 made me lose a little interest but overall I'm still very interested.

Almost same story for me except I played Jade Empire before Dragon Age.

I personally did multiple play throughs of Origins but never was able to do a second of DA 2. Love the story and lore, but wasn't able to get past the game play. Like i said earlier im not somebody who hated the system because I enjoyed it before, it just got old fast for me.

Well you can play any series into the ground.

You're experiencing burnout. Bioware doesn't exactly have a history of selling games with gameplay(combat or strategy) as its main focus, and you can only run through the same story so many times within a given time frame before it starts to become dull(all the plot twists are too fresh in your mind so it becomes repetitive).

I would suggest trying another genre of games for a time. I personally favor Total War games for strategy, and for a sandboxy type of rpg Mount and Blade Warband is pretty good(the mods are amazing). If you want to try out an fps most of what's on the market is pretty similar to each other so you can't go wrong with a major brand name fps. Getting a fresh experience will help you enjoy DA more. Variety is the spice of life they say.

Mount and Blade was genius. It was an unoriginal idea, but it was the first game to make the idea come to life.
It was legit.

True that. In the off topic forum i posted how in recent years I havn't played a huge variety of games other than bioware titles. If you have any more game suggestions please let me know at that forum http://social.biowar...7150/1#14148217

I can't imagine how I would feel if DA3 ends up disappointing me again and what that would do to my expectations for the series yet. It's just a complete blank. Right now DA3 is the present and future for me as far as the DA games go; this is Bioware's last chance to prove that at least part of them is still the same company that made the games (NWN and KOTOR) that brought me to them.

Don't get your hopes up. I thought ME3's ending was gonna be the most badass thing to walk the universe.
Never let your expectations get to high since you'll just end up being dissapointed.
