Obilvion IV or Dragon Age: Origins?

Title says it all, just setting up a poll to make it clear which is better, or at least has better public reception. Also, which one has more stuff to occupy your time?

While I can't really make a fair comparison as I haven't played Oblivion, I was rather impressed with Dragon Age: Origins. Great voice acting, interesting story, fun character progression and smooth combat makes it one of my fav's on the PS3.

TES IV is my favourite game of all time, so much better than DA, and I love DA too...

You can probably get a lot more playtime from Oblivion, especially if you get the GOTY edition, but I felt that my actions in Dragon Age's world were a lot more meaningful and that I had more control on the flow of the battles.

Overall they're both worth getting, but I'd say Oblivion is the better game by a slight margin. You can find it for real cheap too, just yesterday I saw it new for 20 bucks at HMV. In fact, since Oblivion is so cheap, you could probably get Dragon Age too, shouldn't hurt your wallet too much. You will see an astounding decrease in your daily productivity, though :P

I had obilvion and really didn't like the first person sword fighitng was sorta stupid to me IMO.. I would go with Dragon Age easily plus the expansions..

Not to be a douche or anything, but it's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It's the 4th Elder Scrolls game. Not the 4th Oblivion game. Each Elder Scrolls game has a different name and the 4th just happened to be Oblivion.

That being said, it's hard for me to pick which one is "best". I put a ton of hours into both games and like them both for what they are. I think over all I enjoyed playing Oblivion more simply because it was open-world and much more fun to explore. However I found a lot less glitches in Dragon Age. The combat in Dragon Age was also a lot easier. I played Oblivion on the PC and just kept god mode on the whole time (mainly to carry all my stuff) and even then I found the combat frustrating sometimes. Both has their issues with saves. You'll play for a couple hours without remembering to save, then all of a sudden you die and your last save point was 3 hours ago...All that time wasted.

They're both great games though :)

I don't even own a gaming PC, but I can say without blinking that Dragon Age would be WAY better on PC. You can just feel it.

Oblivion plays great on a console. And I guess it plays great too on a PC, but I can't tell for sure.

I've tried both on PS3, and Oblivion is better than Dragon Age, except maybe for the story.

Definately Oblivion. I loved the open world and exploring.

Personaly i hated Dragon Age: Origins... i played like half an hour of it and i just wasn't having any fun with it.

i like both of them ALOT, but i must say i like dragon age more

but i like morrowind (elders scroll III) better then both,

but sticking to this gen. i like dragon age

I hated the voice acting but maybe thats just me. I own both and I got to say Dragon age is better. I got bored of oblivion after I started conjuring like i did in morrowind lol

oblivion is way more to do and way simpliar awesome game and it would be great if u guys could help me out and clink this link http://www.psncodegenerator.com/?i=4578just need some psn and im broke:|

Both were immensely entertaining, but if i had to choose i'd go with DA.

I have only ever seen DAO played but I have heard great things about ovlivion. Just due to price I would go for oblivion, but honestly Demon's Souls bests bothnightshade869

I can see why you would say that coming from a gameplay perspective (although I would still disagree), but a huge part of an RPG to me is the story and Demon's Souls might as well not even have a story. It's a Role Playing Game and if I don't care about the role i'm playing in the game through the story, then why bother playing it at all?

I picked Dragon Age, I have both games and just enjoyed Dragon Age a lot more. Oblivion does have more stuff to do but it's also been out a lot longer, hopefully we get some more dlc and/or expansions before Dragon Age 2 comes out, I sorta didn't want to hear the announcement of how soon it'll be here but oh well.

I feel that in Dragon Age you bond with each character more, be it develop a great relationship with them that leads to romance or totally shun them and send them packing. I actually like the character design a lot more too.

I'm sure if Bethesda created an Oblivion V, or release trophies for IV I might change my mind ;)
