I found Skyrim has a lot more A Song of Ice and Fire than Dagon Age: Origin in terms of atmosphere and storyline.

For a game that claimed to be inspired by A Game of Throne, DA:O failed miserably with its package of cliches and lame plots. Skyrim on the other hand, I can see the misery of war, Jarls getting at each others' throats while the mythical creatures of endtime woke up in the mist of political struggles. Even though Skyrim has many races to begin with, I'm feeling the main story spins all around the Nords the human race more than anything else. It comes natural for me to decide which human race i'm from, the Northmen (Nords), Dornish (Redguard), Southerner (Imperial), High Garden (Breton).

I know Skyrim wasn't intended to be like anything, but I could feel the true meaning of "Great minds think a like".
