That is literally the only thing I care about. Otherwise, the world of Dragon Age is not sufficiently different from most Western Fantasy to catch my attention.

More or less this, but I find much of the ancient history and magic to be fascinating as well. And the characters.

I like the fact that it handles things like Mages more realistically.

In most fantasy games mages seem to live among normal people with no problem- while Dragon Age actually looks at the prejudice, hatred and fear regular people would have for them.

It isn't. It's really rather bland and I doubt it's the series' main selling point.

In dao the origin of the darkspawn was intriguing part they went nowhere with it but they ended up being your standard "evil for teh lulz" baddie

It hasn't gone full messiah-character on me yet. It isn't very noteworthy.

What's the worst it can do? Go insane and lead an army of darkspawn? That just puts you back at square one: kill it (with fire optional). 

Well, minus all the people that would die in the process. But lets not bother with minor details like that.

The way they portray the various orders and cults like Grey Wardens, Templars, etc. in the game is what interests me the most. Everything else is decent enough.

Gaider has people helping him develope the lore.
There was a thread about that some months.
Not a knock on Gaider but there are a lot of fantasy rpg writers who have developed a lore that the fans find fascinating .
The exception with DA is there's a decent rpg video game associated with it.

Skyrim

Overrated.

[Anthadlas]

Griffons

Other than that I like the amount of effort put into a believable religion.

What happen to just playing a game because it was fun? *sigh* I miss the 90s when games where made just to have fun.

[Steelcan]

Pretty much lol @Seival's list.

There's barely anything on there that is unique

Even more lol since he said "no orcs" later on in the list

Who told about something unique? The thread is about what makes Dragon Age so special for you. It doesn't have to be something unique.

So how can it be "special" if everything on there has been done, and in many cases, done better in other stories?

In fact much of what is on there comes straight out of TES or LotR

I like how the dragons look.  

I like dragons that have four arms/paws that are not part of their wings. I don't like the dragons of Skyrim because when they land on the ground they look like an overgrown bat and I don't find them fighting on the ground and after seeing them on the ground looking like a mutant bat they lose all frightening aspects in the sky.

I like Leliana and Isabela I find both of their characters intriguing and mysterious. I like that every time I think that I have them figured out they surprise me.

I like "these features" and don't like "those features". I don't care if they are unique or not.

I like Dragon Age series, and don't like Witcher series. I don't care how much unique features each one contains.

I'll lol at the no witchers aspect. The Wardens are essentially just that, physically enhanced, politically neutral, monster hunters. They just don't do it for pay and specialize in one type of monster.

I think what sets DA apart is the approach the writers took to magic and how everything in the world in a way stems from that. Also the characters.

Wardens aren't physically enhanced.

Yeah they are, that's the whole point of the joining, it makes them stronger and able to sense the darkspawn.

It doesn't make them stronger. It makes them able to sense darkspawn and immune to the taint.

Edit: Anyway, the point of the joining is the ability to kill Archdemons.

Grey Wardens are an army, not a bunch of head-hunters with the same yellow-eyed badassfully stupid faces.

Also hunger demons are vampires, so Seivals list is wrong.

Their whole purpose for existence is to hunt monsters, though I'd say they are much more reminiscent of the Dunedain
