I'm trying to decide whether or not this game is worth the money. It doesn't seem very popular, at least compared to ME and KOTOR. But I mostly heard that this was pretty good while Dragon Age 2 sucked. 

Basically, what I'm looking for is a game that's similar to the original ME, which is my favorite game in the trilogy. A game that essentially has actual RPG elements and dialogue options and customization and choices that matter. Plus, interesting characters and settings, which is mostly a Bioware staple but still. I can handle sub-par graphics and slow pacing, as long as the game itself is mostly fun to play.

So, thoughts?

For me, the only game that truly cut it is Spellforce 1,
by definition its a mix RPG/RTS, but i play 90% RPG with the right avatar,
building armies is backup if RPG fail.

elaborate: DA:O is fun to form the avatar with skills etc, story is nice and implementation
of new skills through quests is a stroke of brilliance,
but the game gets tedious to play, never-ending dialogs of which half is silent,
endless labyrints to navigate through, and when its finally fight time,
there is always trees, rooftops, and whatnot between camera and action,
and combat lag appear, i created many avatars, but could only stand complete one to final.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not...

...because DA:O was and is very popular.

In all seriousness though...if you like RPG and a fantasy setting...then this game is definitely worth the money.

I could go on and on about how great the game and characters are...but as you can tell...I'm obviously biased.

Anyways...I think you will find it to be money...and time...well spent.

Hmm, ok. Well I might give it a shot. It doesn't cost much anyway.

lol, sounds like ME.

I love DAO, but not everyone likes the genre. There is a lot of dialog -- character interaction is the driving force of the story, so if you're the type to skip over dialog, DAO is probably not for you. The combat is easy once you get it down, but for some people it's quite difficult because it's not the usual button mashing (not at all).

I think the main game is worth the money, and the DLCs, aside from the Stone Prisoner and perhaps Warden's Keep are easily missed.  The leadership team changed between the release of DAO and the subsequent DLC (that's not including the day 1 DLC) and it shows.

DAO is definitely worth it if it's old-school RPGs you like, a la ME.

I'm not saying it's a perfect game, but I don't think there is a single problem it has that ME doesn't also have.

The major differences are:

- fantasy rather than space setting
- voiceless protagonist (a good thing in my book)
- proper party combat rather than a shooter with two companions as extra ability-slots

If you liked ME and can cope with these minor changes, then you'll love DAO.

Hmm, interesting. I'm a sucker for lots of dialogue- good dialogue, but yeah. And I love character interaction, but I'm not sure how big I am on the fantasy..I mean, I like a little fantasy, like Harry Potter, but not so much that I don't know what's going on half the game and don't understand what the characters are talking about, so I'm kinda cautious for that.

The setting is fantasy, but that doesn't mean that anything goes. A good fantasy story has a world that operates on consistent principles, even though those principles differ from the purely naturalistic world that good sci-fi shouldn't stray from. DA:O's world is a well written fantasy world, and DA:O's storyline is quite excellent.

It's a rich world too, which you can either gloss over, or go into as much depth as you like, by reading the codex entries you find, and talking to people.

I'd say that DA:O is the best game Bioware has come up since BG2, very much worth getting into. It has excellent replay value too. It has six different starts, or origin stories that you play through, depending on your the race and class you pick for your character, and one of the origin stories is also different based on whether you are playing a female or a male character.

The different races have different, well written, fleshed out cultures too.
