Depend what you like, you want a true to the core RPG play dragon age, you want a beautiful cinematic rpg/shooter hybrid play ME2.

This. And of course the genres, but that's a given.

@OP



Could you register your games please.(I suspect you're trolling)



To answer your question though, play them and find out.

In my opinion, having completed DA:O a few times, playing with a few classes, and having played halfway through ME2 (I'm up to trying to recruit the assassin on the Asari planet... Well, I think DA:O is a lot better. It's heaps of fun, and I really like the story and the characters and the general gameplay mechanics.



That's opposed to how I see ME2. I don't think much of the story so far (but I'm only halfway through, I guess), I think the characters are simply OK, and I think the combat is poor. I spend 90% of my time cowering behind a barricade lobbing shield/armor destroying "spells" and occasionally going for a headshot. It's just not as much fun as getting in close as you do with DA:O. Or, for that matter, ME1.



There, that's my opinion. At this stage, I'm not that impressed with ME2.

 Story is better in DAO, but characters are way better in ME2.

Two different games, two different styles; why are we comparing them as games? Gameplay? Writing?



If these forums show anything it is that someone can completely love a game while someone else completely hates it. Why ask for someones blank opinion when all that matters is your experience.

[Shelondias]

I had a blast playing both really.

Dragon Age had much more interesting villains though, however Jennifer Hale makes up for it once again lol

How is e trolling, even if he doesn't have either game? If so, he's just looking for input on which to buy. You need to refresh what the concept of trolling actually means... 

Either way, there's only one similarity between them; They're both made by Bioware. Different playstyles, different genres, different engine even. You really can't compare them.

I really liked Dragon Age on my first playthrough. Then I started my next one, got about 1/3 done with it and took a break to wait for ME2. So I beat ME2 and then went back to Dragon Age. Man, I couldn't play for an hour without getting bored out of my mind. It is just so dry compared to ME2. Mass Effect always has something going on, but with Dragon Age, someone tells you what to do, you kill stuff for like 3 hours and then you finally advance the story.



There is just so much filler in between the good parts that it's hard for me to want to play, and I don't think I saw this until I played ME2 which was much more action-oriented and kept the experience enjoyable throughout.



But to answer your question, it depends on what you like. If you like Action RPGs, go with ME. If you like real RPGs, go with Dragon Age. So, basically if you like Fallout 3 more than Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights, go with ME. And if you like Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights more than Fallout 3, go with Dragon Age.

Yeah, I posted in that thread. But this one in particular isn't trolling. 

[The Demonologist]

Two different types of RPGs that each provide their own experience. They don't give you the same experience where one may be rated superior to the other and shouldn't necessarily be compared.



I enjoyed them equally in different areas.

[SithLordExarKun]

So you FINALLY stop spamming "ME1 is better than 2! ME1 is better than 2! ME1 is better than 2!"

[Artemis_Entrari]

Loved both games. I liked Dragon Age's main quest a lot more, but I thought Mass Effect 2's side quests (I include assembling a team and finishing their personal quests as a sidequest to the main mission) were fantastic.



I though the side quests made the party members' backstory in ME2 seem deeper, but at the same time I enjoyed the fact I could speak to my party members in DA:O at any time I wanted, not just at camp/on the ship.



If I had to select, I'd pick ME2 simply because I like the setting better (Star Wars fanboy here, so I'll always have a soft spot for space opera-esque games). But both were well worth their purchase price for me.

Oh look SithLordExarKun, perhaps the biggest intolerant ME2 fanboy on these threads to date.

[CrimePays]

This is a little unfair I think. Alot of people who vote ME2 are going to be slightly biased towards it because they carried over their character from the first game. Therefore some of us (including me) feel more passionate towards the characters and events in the ME universe than they do for the ones in the DA universe.



I won't make a proper decision until Awakening is out.



One thing I will mention; is that Commander Shepard actually talks... which is a big reason as to why I didn't feel as immersed in DA:O.

[ShadyKat]

Completely different games. Both are very good imo, but I do like ME2 more.

[Lil Kis]

Wow more people are liking Dragon Age more than Mass Effect 2. I thought it would be the other way around. I bought Mass effect 2 also. I'm gonna play it still just not as interested in it now.

[Amikae]

Dragon Age is really a great game. Enjoyed playing it. Comparing it to ME2 though it doesnt even register. That of course is just my opinion.

Mass Effect 2 is simply better in almost every possible way. Its a much more dynamic game, much more beautifull, complicated, evolved and so much more enjoyable!

The characters of ME2 are way beyond anything DAO can offer. The whole universe is much more sophisticated, the franchise - more mature. The variety of ME is amazing! We have krogans, turians, asari, salarian just to name a few races that are very well developed and original. Even the small talk while walking around pubs is pure gold!

Looking at the gameplay its the same story. We dont have that many abilities in ME2 but all of the ones we have are usable and fun to use. I have not been bored by any skill so far in the game. All of them are carefully balanced and usable in all kinds of situations which makes the combat feel fresh trough the whole game and the replays. In Dragon Age the combat is fun the first few hours. Then i start using the same skills over and over again. Tank n spank > kill mobs>loot>sort inventory>repeat. Of course we also have a great story in DAO but by far not better than the one in ME1/2. The DA franchise is still new and has a great deal of potential but it will take some time to develope.

At this point i pretty much doubt that any game can be better than ME2 in any aspect. The game that will surpass ME2 is ME3.

Hmm well if you want a epic rpg/shooter ME2 is awesome. DA:O is definatly your best bet if your a hardcore RPG fan.

I disagree with the comments about ME2 characters being better. They aren't as developed as well as the DA:O characters. You can get way more dialog in DA:O and character development. Maybe you guys meant you liked the characters more, not sure. But as far as understanding and the character telling them about themselves DA:O excels. Not saying ME2 did a bad job, just saying DA:O is superior.

It's just your taste in games though, personally I liked DA:O more. ME2 is a great game though, I recommend just getting them both.

Edit: Gameplay is smooth and probably more fun in ME2. I liked it way more than DA:O. DA:O is alot of strategy and can be really hard at times.

You have no idea as to what a fanboy is, so i am a ME2 fanboy because i prefer it over ME1? What does that make you? Considering 85% of your posts are "ME2 sux M31 rul3s!!" and 15% trolling?


Do i smell a hypocrite? Yes i do. Now go back under your bridge you troll.

Having more dialog doesnt equal better character development. There are tons of dialogs in DAO, most of which are beyond boring.

Also talking about gameplay, in DAO you can pot trough anything if you have enough points. In ME2 if you dont fight strategically, you die pretty fast.

Still its pretty much about tastes. I know people who simply prefer fantasy worlds like the one in Dragon Age, over future sci fi's. 

Both games are good! No doubt about that.
