Got DA:O recommended by a friend, played it, liked it. Heard all the bad feedback about DA2, decided to leave it be.
Ultimately didn't manage to stay with my decision and played DA2 nevertheless - and happened to like it, too.
Am now hopelessly in love with the story, the characters and the whole setting and cannot wait for DA:I ...

You know, I get the sense you're trying to say something about Bio, but I'm not sure what it is. :whistle:

You veered far more from the Diplomatic response into Sarcastic than I usually do. :innocent:


It's my horrible personality.Image IPB
But honestly, my only intention was to describe my own history on Bioware forums. That was all, really.

Despite mistakes made Bioware is still one of the best developpers out there in the RPG genre which I much like to play.

 I was actually searching up "RPG's for PS3" and the site I clicked on listed Dragon Age: Origins pretty high on the list. I liked the story of it, and of course the characters. I didn't get Dragon Age: Origins until after DA2 was out, so I was way behind. I did play DAO first though.

Truthfully, I needed to fill the time tween Oblivion and Skyrim.  But then I fell in love with the characters and the staggering amount of choices and the fully fleshed out world.  It's the only series I've played that rivals the Elder Scrolls in its consistency and lore and believeability, if that's the best description.

Let's see.....

I'd played KOTOR and KOTOR2 and had been blown away with them back then. I'd also played ME1 at least half a dozen times. (I also beat ME2 three times but I don't remember if I played both at the same time or not.) I was reading an article online about DAO shortly before release and found the idea of multiple origins interesting so I preordered.

The similarity to my ancient memories of KOTOR along with the character customization/origins, along with the solid worldbuilding and characters drew me in. I was hooked. I preordered DA2, trusting BioWare to bring out another game similar to that and was disappointed. DA2 is a good game, but not a great game like Origins was.

As for DAI, I'm hoping BioWare learnt from the DA2/ME3 debacle (as I've abandoned the ME universe) and will make DAI more like the games of old. But I no longer trust BioWare. I plan to wait to get spoilers on how the end pans out before deciding whether to buy or not.

ME2 was at least loads better than DA2. ME3 had some good bits, but the not so good bits where just so bad that it dragged the whole game down.

Having high hopes for DA:I, but the recent track record does not give me a great deal of faith.

As far of the original posters question, Dragon Age sort of contiuned the whole Baulders Gate thing for me. I figured if Bioware could make such an amazing series of BG then Dragon Age must be good. I was right about DA:O, everything AFTER that... well...

I bought the wrong game by mistake.
Totally serious, I had never played a Bioware game before.

I don't even remember. I just know I had seen an image about a game with dragons; I think there was something about being able to ride a dragon; and I just assumed Dragon Age: Origins was it.
One of the best mistakes I ever made.

Team-based RPG gameplay with the fairly realistic depiction of people.
Come to think of it, Dragon Age is the only team-based WRPG around. Alongside a few obscure ones like the games Piranha bytes makes.

That is until Pillars of Eternity and Wasteland 2 hit the scenes, at least.

No, that was my first thought too. I remember it being this completely armored man; helmet included; and the background was a burning city or something similar.

Really can't think what that could be, honestly don't remember what other games were out around the same time as Origins, as thats all i really had on my mind

That rules out Sims 3: World Adventures I think..........

'Cause I saw Bioware and EA.

Really, that's the reason.

IMO, Bioware is the best company in games nowadays(That I know of...).

Ah, also, 'cause of RPG Elements

I love fantasy RPGs and dragons. I had been playing a lot of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion previously and, after DA:O had been out for a while, I grabbed a used copy to try it out.

After adoring that game, I found myself really liking BioWare's style and companion system and tried their other series, Mass Effect.

At this point, I'm a hopeless BioWare fangirl. Image IPB

Yep, that is exactly it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
I was looking for Lair and ended up buying Dragon Age: Origins by mistake. So, I came out winning.
