I've never really played RPGs, but I've always been curious. I have played Assassins Creed 2, but I got bored of it after the first several hours. It seemed too repetitive for me. I was wondering if dragon age is like this too. I played the demo for dragon age II, and I thought it was very fun, but if it's long and all the gameplay is only just like that, then I could see myself getting bored rather quickly. Please help, thanks!Is Dragon Age Origins Repetitive?
Actually, if you like listening and thinking about storylines, than the game is not repetitive at all. The only thing that might get repetitive is the part where you go to the dwarf city Orzammar. That is the longest overarching quest that you must complete in order to advance in the game. The battles start to feel repetitive even if they aren't, because they last longer and are much more creepy. That part plays games with your head.
But overall, you should definitely try the game. It's not repetitive at all.
It can feel somewhat repetitive, but then again, most games can. It depends on what you like.
I personally would HIGHLY recommend it, I've put a bunch of hours into it.
The combat feels less intense in Origins.. but that doesn't mean it feels worse. I actually almost prefer Origin's feel than that of DA2.
So yeah - the gameplay is like that, but you make tons of numerous decisions (big and small) throughout the whole game. I found myself spending about 40 hours on one playthrough, I don't know what you consider to be short or long.
But - I'd still recommend it, I had a lot of fun with it, and then in DA2 you can import your save file from Origins, which will influence how some things work out in DA2.
I don't know if you're interested, but three RPGs I strongly recommend are The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, Mass Effect 1 %26amp; 2, and Fallout 3.
Hope this helps.Is Dragon Age Origins Repetitive?
If you enjoy managing a party around some tactical battles, then it can be pretty fun, especially playing around with all the spells mages get. I think if you are only in it for the combat though, then you might be disappointed, that was probably the weakest part of the game.
The real good thing about Dragon Age is the story and characters. The story is very interesting, more than enough to keep you going even when the dungeons get a little slow in parts. If you care about story in your games at all, you should at least give it a try, its one of the best RPGs in the last few years by far.
If you are an rpg fan, Dragon Age it's not going to be booring !Is Dragon Age Origins Repetitive?
I completly agree with Dsty. If you like storyline in a game this is thew game for you. Betrayal, Romance, Tragedy all in one well done game. The only part I dislike is the fact In Orzammar you get so tired of fighting in the deep roads.
I found it to be very repetitive. The combat strategies are essentially the same except on a few very specific boss fights. I also found it to be very slow because of the constant pausing/playing/pausing "action".

Which is better Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age: Origins?
I don't care about graphics. I care more about the story and gameplay.Which is better Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age: Origins?
Dragon Age is good, Mass Effect 2 is better. Dragon Age suffers from clich茅 story and characters. The strategic combat makes for a very hardcore and rewarding gameplay experience.
Mass Effect has a great scifi story and borrows elements from Star Trek and 2001: A Space Odyssey while also adding a lot of original new characters, storylines and locations. The gameplay can be either fast paced and Gears of War-like, but if you choose one of the strategic classes it also involves some thinking. It doesn't have the strategic depth that Dragon Age has but that's because it's a different subgenre of RPG.
Note: Only get Mass Effect 2 if you've played the first game.
Hard to say. But there is ONE difference, which makes ME2 tip the scales slightly. In ME2, your character has a voice, and speaks dialog. In DAO, you pick dialog options, but your toon never says a word.
Other than that, both of these excellent, excellent games came out of the same publishing house, BioWare and EA Games. The story for both is therefore head and shoulders above any other in either the fantasy or sci-fi RPG categories.
Both games have excellent plot driven character interaction and storylines. The writing is intelligent and the stories well done. In both games there are moments that are laugh out loud hilarious, or grim and serious. In both games you can develop friendships and personal relationships with your team, or be a jerk. Commander Shepard (ME2) is pretty funny as a jerk. The Grey Warden (DAO) is pretty grim as a jerk, and if played to the max will wind up killing or alienating members of his own party.
I have both games. Owning both is worth it, and I cannot wait for ME3 and DA2!Which is better Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age: Origins?
I have Dragon Age Origins and Love it.
But then I've always preferred fantasy to Sci-Fi.
They are both made by Bioware, so I suspect there will be similar storyline strength in each.
In Dragon Age, at least, you have huge impact on how the story plays out, with the epilouge containing tens, if not hundreds, of possible combinations.
depends
if you have played mass effect 1 then i would say to get the second sense the choices you made carrys over to the second mass effect plus a large # of dlc for that game adds to the story line
how ever if you want replay value then i would say to go for dragon age origins
3 races all with dif endings and start story lines
massive amount of chat diologe *how ever you spell that word*
down fall to dragon age is the load times tend to get bad you are force to restart the game other wise it takes like 20 min to load a zoneWhich is better Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age: Origins?
Both have very detailed, exceptional stories. The gameplay is different in each, but both are great.
You can either have a great Sci-Fi RPG, or a great Medieval RPG.
Both are highly reviewed games. Metacritic Scores:
Mass Effect 2: 96
Dragon Age Origins: 91
It's a win-win.
Mass Effect is a comic cartoony game, and Dragon Age: Origins has an actual story.

I want to only buy one video game before Xmas, what Should it be, dragon age: orgins OR modern warfare 2?
I really enjoy games like oblivion, mass effect, fallout 3 etc, along with modern warfare 1, call of duty series, halo, borderlands etc. O want the long gameplay on da, but I really want the multiplayer on mw2. I'm playing on a 360I want to only buy one video game before Xmas, what Should it be, dragon age: orgins OR modern warfare 2?
Modern Warfare 2I want to only buy one video game before Xmas, what Should it be, dragon age: orgins OR modern warfare 2?
well i have dragon age orgin and its not really great so i go with modern warfare 2I want to only buy one video game before Xmas, what Should it be, dragon age: orgins OR modern warfare 2?
which ever you REALLLLLLY want. The other one you can experience after X-Mas. They have huge sales after X-Mas right? Choose one.
Modern Warfare 2 hands down. The game should be an instant classic and playable for years to come. If you want to save some money on your purchase you can pre-order it through Amazon and get $20 credit for future video game purchases
Here's the link: http://bit.ly/48uJWr
I found this through www.DealProdigy.com which is a deals %26amp; coupons site dedicated to video gamers and bought one myself. Used $20 credit to buy Tekken 6, which is a cool game as well

Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings VS Dragon Age II?
I need to know what to buy. I can get dragon age II or the expansion and all downloadable packs for dragon age origins, including awakenings. Which is better as far as gameplay?Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings VS Dragon Age II?
Gameplay in Awakening is exactly the same as Origins. You are just higher level and there are some new specializations. The story and companions are good too, but it's just an expansion so it's not that long. If you can only buy one I would get DA2. You aren't missing much by skipping Awakening and the DLC. DA2 has a lot more to offer and combat is much improved.Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings VS Dragon Age II?
Dragon Age 2 is well considered and cannily crafted. It cleverly keeps a sprawling decade-long story on a personal level by grounding players with a family to care for, as well as characters and friends that continue to resurface over the course of the story. It's this half of Dragon Age 2 which we like the most, as it gives you the opportunity to meet genuinely interesting characters such as Fenris, an escaped amnesiac slave with lyrium tattoos and a lust for killing wizards.Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings VS Dragon Age II?
If you had not already got DAO, I would have said just bought all of them in a bundle, but since you have...
I would go with II. It has a great combat system, wonderful story, great characters. It is shorter than origins. The DLC for Origins is alright, but overpriced. They have nice stories but the gameplay is ehhh.
Anyway thats what I think: II is just an all around better game
Get awakenings and the rest of the downloadable packs. I just got Dragon Age Origins with Awakenings and the downloadble content all included on the same game.

Does anyone know what's the plot for Dragon Age 2?
I've seen the demo gameplay for it and the first part they're talking about running since Ostagar which was probably from Origins? Is the game during the fifth blight?Does anyone know what's the plot for Dragon Age 2?
Um.. I'm not quite sure about the details of the plot but I'll give you the basics. So there is this guy named Hawke, the guy who you play, and he's a refugee of the Dark Spawn invasion of his city which I forget the name of. The plot of the whole game is in a period of ten years, it is his journey from peasant to fighting off all the Dark Spawn and reclaiming the city.Does anyone know what's the plot for Dragon Age 2?
R and P would be my guessthings to do in dc ihop locations

How should my Male Noble Warrior look in Dragon Age Origins?
I have ideas to for looks for my characters. One will look like the guy in most of the original trailers for Dragon Age Origins (from E3 gameplay trailers and demonstrations-look for them on Youtube), and another character like that, but with a five o' clock shadow and long black hair the looks like Riordan's (the Grey Warden you meet near the end of the game who falls off the Archdemon and dies). I found pictures like them on Bioware forums. Which one sounds like he'll be and look better?How should my Male Noble Warrior look in Dragon Age Origins?
Long black hair definitely. Way more attractive.

Dragon Age: Origins, Fable 2, and Magic the Gathering on Xbox 360?
I'd like to know a bit, or a lot, about these games. I've seen videos online of the gameplay and they look like something I'd like to buy soon. I like the looks of Dragon Age more, but I like the idea of playing with friends like I saw for Fable 2.
If you play these let me know about them and if you'd reccommend them, thanks!Dragon Age: Origins, Fable 2, and Magic the Gathering on Xbox 360?
Dragon Age is an excellent game, but I do know that the xbox version is not as good as the pc version. It has received consistently lower scores than the pc version, mainly because the controls aren't as good. Fable 2 is very good, and you may be able to a relatively cheap version since Fable 3 is coming out soon. I have Fable 2 and it is very fun.Dragon Age: Origins, Fable 2, and Magic the Gathering on Xbox 360?
Wellll if your a big fan of role-playing games than yeah these are pretty good and will satisfy your hunger for role-playing. I installed Dragon age origins on my computer though (same thing as xbox, which I own as well) I have barely played it, it is is not much like what you see in the trailers where it looks freaking Bad a ss, to me it was more like a Lord of the rings game and I lost interest. Fable 2 is really popular and I recommend it, but you should wait for Fable 3 to be released unless you wan't to play the whole story so that you may understand the rest of the other fables, in which play the first Fable. I don't know anything about Magic the gathering, sorry.
