Dragon Age Origins or Oblivion?

I like Rpgs with a good since of adventure in the story which needs to be good. Also with unaturally long hours of gameplay. I think one the top most important thing a great RPGs need is good towns to travel to. I know oblivion has more but was wondering if dragon age has a decent amount also which combat is overall better to you?Dragon Age Origins or Oblivion?
=====Oblivion======
Great storyline, but that's a matter of opinion.
Lots of different towns, each with their own feel. I highly recommend getting the game of the year edition so you can get the Shivering Isles
Combat can get a little clunky. It relies totally on you to aim, but it's not a bad way to play. No auto-attacking, no auto-spells. Once you hit really high level and get the right gear, though, the combat becomes dramatically less challenging.

====Dragon Age=====
Assuming you mean Dragon Age 1.....

Great storyline, but that's a matter of opinion.
There are a varied amount of different towns, but not nearly as many as Oblivion, plus they aren't nearly as expansive and there's only a limited amount of things to do in them. I did like visiting the Dwarf City, though.
Combat in this game is relatively straight forward. Click or pick your target, your character auto-attacks them, and then you use magic and whatnot.

===Conclusion===
Oblivion fits your specifications more. There's lots to do, lots of places to go, and moreover, the game does not have an 'end'. That and Oblivion will last you longer. Even if you played straight without sleep and no breaks for any reason, it would probably still take you around a week of this kind of punishment just to finish each and every quest or optional path in the game.
Both play QUITE differently.



Dragon age is a more linear CRPG. Thus, combat and exploration consists of overhead view of all of your party members. Combat consists of selecting powers from a skillbar, setting tactics in the tactics menu, and switching between party members.



Dragon age has a more defined plot, though it offers little free exploration. Most of the side quests are just fetch quests, or defeating a few enemies.



Oblivion is an open world, create-your-own story kind of game. The main plot of the game isn't very strong- but there are so many places to explore and side quests to do, such as the faction quests. Oblivion also has a HUGE modding community (tesnexus.com, http://planetelderscrolls.ign.com/) which improve graphics, combat, and add more content. Combat is either first or third person, with active attacking.



I personally prefer oblivion, as it is a much larger game, and less linear.Dragon Age Origins or Oblivion?
I honestly couldn't stand Dragon Age. I bought it for $60 and played it for about 5 hours. Never touched it again. I'd say get Oblivion. They are coming out with the 5th anniversary which will have all the addons, plus trophies. (if your on PS3)

Dragon Age is a bit linear. Its not really an "open" world. You can choose different places to go, but that's as open as it gets. Oblivion lets you go everywhere and anywhere. I'd say get Oblivion (I didn't like it that much, but that's just me)
get oblivion you can free roam around a city you go in dungeons you can ride dragons theres numerous amounts of quests theres people to ineract with billions of mods theres a mod where you add morrowind to the game so you can play morrowind or oblivion (morrowind is the one before oblivion) tons of endings everything you can think of in an rpg or your favorite rpg is in here heres a link to the game on xbox.comDragon Age Origins or Oblivion?
Loki Letheran beat me to it. Give him best answer, becuase he's pretty much right. Oblivion is much better than Dragon Age Origins. But I strongly suggest you get the Game of the Year edition. It's only like $30 or less now. Plus, it gives you more content that will make gameplay last longer for you.
Go for gragon age. dragon age 2 (even better)
Dragon Age, that RPG is ALOT like Fable but much more fun
