Im soooo excited for borderlands. But dragon age origins looks good too, but with forza 3 also coming out i will be out of money for a little while =( ill pick it up a bit later on.
Personally I'd say Dragon Age by a country mile, but why are we comparing a singleplayer-only fantasy RPG with a multiplayer-focused sci-fi shooter-RPG?
Thanks. I like your sigs too, even though I can't read most of 'em. :P I'm curious to see how Borderlands comes out, I hope it's like Fallout 3 (love that game).

Bio-Ware is batting 100 when it comes to RPGs. Borderlands looks to follow the tradition of open world rpgs with garbage or forgetable stories in exchange for endless boring missions. I like leveling up so I could probably enjoy it for that, but Dragon's Age has leveling up and will likely have the other things I expect from a RPG as well.

Because they are both RPGs and both coming out over the next two weeks and I wanna hear what people think about them. ;)

Dragon Age, I have no real interested in Borderlands.. it doens't look that great to me. DAO has me excited because its the first return to form for Bioware since Neverwinter Nights, and I loved that game, KOTOR and Mass Effect were great games, I just coulden't get into them like a NWN type game.
Dragon Age... I don't like Borderlands new artstlyle and I don't like the fact that it is basically a multiplayer game and not focused on a single player gamer... Every interview with them seems focused on co-op and nothing ever on the actual plot and story of the game... Dragon Age looks great...lets just hope it's not too dumbed down, Bioware has gone down hill since Baldur's Gate 2!!!

I could see Dragon Age and Borderlands both getting AAA scores and I honestly can't figure out which one will be better. I flip flop between them nonstop. At the moment, I'm leaning towards Borderlands, but yesterday I was going crazy getting excited for Dragon Age.
Borderlands hands down, I don't want another NWN right now or anytime soon for that matter. With the refreshing experience of Demon's souls I'm covered with dark fantasy thats different and incredibly fun.
And borderlands will scratch that FPS itch but also brings 4 player coop and after seeing the QL on GB it has me sold. Plus with the sheer number of my friends getting this game there will be no shortage of people to play with and have duels with.
Dragon Age looks to be Epic like Neverwinter Nights, I don't even see a comparison

I never asked for or made any comparisons. I just asked which game would be better. :| and I answered your question by comparing it to one of the best RPG's, ever.
Bio-Ware is batting 100 when it comes to RPGs. Shafftehr
Sonic RPG and Jade Empire say they're not batting 100. Love 'em, but frankly, not all of their games are spectacular. Some of them just suck. Jade Empire was awsome although a bit short.
According to hands on, the difference in Depth is so ginormous, that the Depth alone should make it easy for You to decide which one You want. Dragon Age is incredibly deep, Borderlands is very shallow in comparison. They can both be a lot of fun, depending on whether You want to get soaked up in a time consuming story with events, personalities, and tough decision making, or a lighthearted pick up and shoot RPG with lots of guns (which i expect is way easier to find friends for to play with). They are miles apart. I can't imagine that You can't choose >_>

You're right, I'm definately buying DAO on day one and am gonna rent Borderlands and try it out first.

I really don't have any interest in Dragon Age Origins, after watching some videos, it just doesn't interest me at all, though it will do better than Borderlands in reviews. Am I the only one who feels this way?
While Borderlands has over 60 hours of gameplay, co-op, and competitive modes. It interests me a lot more from the vids I saw. Can't wait to play as Lilith and have a avatar and sig for her.:D The TC knows what I'm going to say.:D

Yea I was more interested in DA before I saw the gameplay videos. I'll still buy it at some point but Magna Carta 2 is keeping me entertained so I may wait and buy DA used.
Both will be good games in their respective genres. Borderlands is more action oriented while DA is more rpg oriented (skills, character development, choices and consequences etc..). I'm getting DA first though, not sure with Borderlands if its MP oriented then its probably a bucket bin pick for me.

Only one out of every 10 games Bioware makes is good? I don't think thats true.
