Which series do you prefer?

I much rather prefer Dragon age, I just couldn't get into Mass Effect.

I haven't played Dragon Age on the XBox yet. Is the combat good? Like is it auto attack or when you press the A button once your character will swing his sword once.

Tough one. I'll go with the original Mass Effect though. I liked the combat better.

I'd put DA:O ahead of ME2 though.

Mass Effect. I thought the story and characters were a lot better than DAO.

I liked the characters and dialouge interups so Mass Effect. Both Mass Effects also had decent combat, not great but not bad. Dragons Age had horrible combat, they could have just used Baldurs Gate's/Icewind Dale/Planescape Torment/Etc but instead they have a lousy MMO style battle system, that somehow uses worse animations than KOTOR.

... I've played Baldurs Gate and I find the combat very similar. I have never played a MMO with a battle system like this?

Combat-wise, I liked them both, but Dragon's Age felt a lot more diverse and satisfying.

Story-wise, I like them both, but Mass Effect had a more dramatic ending.

I can't really pick one over the other.

I prefer Mass Effect by a wide margin. Combat in Dragon Age is mediocre to say the least. In the beginning, you're only given two or three combat options. And one button to execute complex maneuvers? Overly simplified much? Though admittedly, I haven't given DA that much of a chance. Does combat improve vastly over time??

It's better if you prefer RPGs over TPS's. I personally enjoyed backstabbing as a rogue for massive critical hits, and then healing and doing aoe damage as a mage. Dragon's Age is really meant to be played on PC, but it's pretty damn fun on consoles, too.

Oh man, that's a hard one. I love both these games, they're among my favourites. So I love them both. Both have great stories, characters and settings. I really love the Dragon Age time period.

Mass Effect series, but Dragon Age: Origins is something not to be missed.

love them all, each has his strong points, my take:

RPG: DAO > ME > ME2

Story: ME > DAO > ME2

Gameplay: ME2 > ME > DAO

Eagerly anticipating Dragon Age 2, not that stoked about ME3

Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2 in that order, but they're all great. I have high hopes for DA2 and ME3, I'm sure they'll be great.
