Simply put, Dragon Age is one of the best RPG games ever made. It's terrific graphics, outstanding story, and strong party interaction make this truly something everyone that likes RPGs should experience. I think they could have made the character talents more elaborate, especially when it comes to fighting styles. It's not easy to create someone that feels unique in their skillsets within your party. I don't want this review to turn into a spoiler, so suffice to say that if you like games like Neverwinter Nights this is the 2009 evolution of the genre. If I had to point out something negative for a potential purchase, I would say that Bioware has included some content that must be purchased as add-in material, adding to the overall cost of the game. Sadly, this seems to be a new trend in the gaming industry, especially when the content to be purchased seems to simply be material that should have been included in the original game, but was left out to earn extra revenue. Still, I would highly recommend this title and I consider it one of the best of 2009.
