Was Dragon Age Origins good?
Dragon Age: Origins still has the best story, characters, setting, lore, dialogue, relationships and overall depth that I have ever experienced in a game. That's my opinion, some other people agree. It is one of the greatest games ever made and the main reason why there is a lot of hate towards Dragon Age 2 was because it wasn't nearly as good as Origins. Dragon Age 2 wasn't actually a bad game, the combat was improved, the graphics were improved, the dialogue is still amazing, the characters are still really interesting and I enjoyed it, but the two just don't compare.
Don't rain on the party! Of course Skyrim will win this poll, but the poll lets people know which games also attract Skyrim gamers. There is something about Balder's Gate, or Dragon Age Origins that makes it appealing, but I don't know what.
This is the community section, we aren't all Skyrim gamer's. Play Dragon Age: Origins or play Balder's Gate and you may find out what is so appealing about them. If I know anything about Bioware it's that while Bethesda may make a better sandbox, Bioware makes much more interesting stories, characters, settings, lore, dialogue, relationships and generally give a lot more depth.
