Nah, it has nothing to do with the enthralling story or the seamless combat mechanics. No it isn't have to do with the interesting level design, the unique enemies, or the growth of your characters. No it has nothing to do with any of that. Guess you are right and I must delete the game from my hard drive and never play it again.

Hmm, i usually dont like similar games like eg the mass effect or neverwinter nights, because either they are focused to much in creating character and making choices along the way, or have either, too simple/too complicated gameplay to have fun with. I like oblivion and fallout 3 because they got worldmaps to explore and level up and the witcher because it has a great story with plenty of cutscenes and not just endless dialogues with choices and eplanations. So i liked dragon age because it had both cutscene story and open world exploration. Also the rpg combat factor was not too complicated but neither too simple.

if you gave it a 10, you must have really liked it. if you really liked it, shouldn't it be easy to understand why others, like you, really liked it?

Regular walk and fight a target game? That's your argument? Really? Why not just call Call of Duty 4 a regular aim and shoot game? Or Starcraft a regular move units and attack game? And what would a non-regular walk and fight a target game be like?

Eh, the story was hardly 'enthralling' - it was just a pretty standard 'evil forces are invading plot', without any interesting villains or plot-twists, and which failed to live up to Bioware's standard (imo).

The level design was also one of the worst parts of Dragon Age. There was no creativity in the dungeons - even the few that did differed from the boring 'enter room, kill 50 guys, enter next room' formula (the Fade and...um...?) went on for much too long. The Fade, for example, was great until you get the golem form, and then the next hour-ish of it was too easy and thus dead boring. The bosses were alright, but that just made the final boss all that more disappointing.

Anyway, other than the complete lack of creativity in the story and dungeons, the game was pretty good. Better than Bioware's last few games, but I wouldn't call it worthy of its 9.5.

*edit* and yes, I took this thread -far- too seriously. :P

You can reduce any game like that. A great FPS can be called a "regular walk and shoot at a target game."

Oh, so you gave the game a 10, but then say it's a "regular walk and fight a target game"? You don't give a 10 to "regular" games. A 10 score means it's more than amazing, there's no higher score to give so it basically means a perfect or near-perfect game. A 10/10 is for an excellent game irrespective of the genre. Besides, you didn't just ask us why we liked it, you asked us why the heck we liked a regular walk and fight target game. You definitely wouldn't call it that if you liked it. Obvious troll.

Well when poor spelling and grammar come into the picture, it sounds as if A) You are trying to troll the forums and get a rise out of people or B) You disliked the game and want to know why they liked it. I know when I read it first it came off as if you were just trying to get a rise out of people.

Okay, enough. Let's put this to rest. OP, if you gave the game a 10/10, you should know why other people loved the game. If you don't like the game, you should just admit it. If you want people to take your questions seriously, you shouldn't use a misleading title like, "why the heck does everybody like dragon age?", and then refuse to admit that you didn't like the game. There is nothing wrong with hating a game that most people love. Be proud of your opinion, it's what defines your character and makes you unique. Never succumb to hype nor criticism. And if you really want to know what others think of the game, then check out the "User Reviews" section. There are some really detailed, informative and reliable user reviews for this game.

I think this is the kind of guy that thinks The Godfather is a POS movie because there's "not enuff 'splosionz". Even though he did rate it 10/10. Go figure. He needs to get his head checked.

So, a game that's actually a true RPG is just like two awful games that aren't even close to being RPGs. Sorry, but Fable and Oblivion are two of the biggest pieces of dooky I have ever had the misfortune of playing and neither of them are RPGs. I'm not saying DA:O is great (I think it's good -- not great) but comparing it to those two games is completely laughable and absurd.

1. Awesome story
2. Deep, complex party members that influence how you play the game and, eventually, the outcome
3. Cool lore, environments, and NPCs that exist in an entirely new, fresh game world (Ferelden)
4. Familiar, old-schoolish gameplay updated to be more exciting and streamlined.
5. Party AI is vastly improved
6. Awesome melee combos
7. Amazing spells
8. Like 6 ways to start the game
9. A good value, considering A.) each playthrough takes about 25 hours minimum, and B.) there will be a lot of mods and player-made content
10. Dwarves
11. Elves
12. Dragons
13. Religious nuts
14. Lack of a good/evil alignment system; everything is grey, there is no black and white

Maybe you should have made a better topic. Why give a nice answer when you don't give a nice question? Quality RPGs are few and far between. Dragon Age just happens to be one, even if the setting and story are generic.

A 'Walk and fight a target' game ? That's the majority of the games out there, and most of the best ones-- I bet you love COD, don't you ? Or is that different because you RUN and SHOOT a target ? This game is great because of the branching conversations, the great world, and the amazing character advancement, THAT is why everyone likes Dragon Age soooooo much.

Parts are tideous but if you sit down and play the game, theres no doubt that you will get into the story. That being said if you make your guy look like douche you might not enjoy it as much.

To bring out the True strategy elements of this game, u need to be playing this game on Nightmare.

Or else ull beat every enemy without any problems and it will just seem like an auto-combat game.


However when playing on nightmare, u will face tough battles and will really rely on good strategy, where to throw bombs, where to set-up traps and make ambushes etc.

also if u dont like the game, try playing it as a mage or rogue, all clas$es are different in this game, the rogue owns alot when u get dual wield daggers and its just so much fun stabbing creatures in the back and watch ur damage grow as ur character goes lvls up plus going invisible and setup traps before u jump into the battle with ur entire party

Its hard to answer a question that requires knowing your tendancies. Frankly I dont care what you like but for future reference there is a reviews section where you can sift and find people, similar to yourself, that write reviews.

That said, let me just say that DOA sucks for all the reasons you listed. The best RPGs of all time are Diablo 2 and WoW.

...

...

Give me a second while I try not to choke and fall out of my chair from the hysterical laughing. I guess some people just dont like classic RPG's and prefer action games. I have a feeling you are one of those people. Good for you, DOA is not for you but to us RPG fans, DOA is probably the best RPG release since Kotor. Not as good but the rest have been so bad that DOA wins by default.

simply out of curiosity, and not to start a debate, but why do you dislike Bioware?
