What kind of RPG is Dragon Age: Origins?

I know, sounds like a silly question. It's similar to one I had a few weeks ago about Mass Effect 2.

Is Dragon Age: Origins similar to Mass Effect 2 in the sense that you are told where to do missions etc. or is it more like Oblivion and Fallout where you're thrust into an open world with no idea what to do?What kind of RPG is Dragon Age: Origins?
It pretty much tells you what to do, just not in what order to do it XD so it can be confusing if you don't know where your going, though you can just look it up online and it will tell you where to go.



:D if you do get it! Heres a trick to level up all the way ~%26lt;3 , when your first mission (don't worry i wont go too far into detail so its not a spoiler) but for your first mission at the beginning at the camp, just get the blood, (you'll find out) and once you just get the blood go back and talk to the guy and he'll give you the exp and tell you to go get the scrolls, but you can just talk to him over and over till your leveled all the way up! XD sure some things can still kill you very easily but its nice if you get lost so you wont die as fast :)
It's sort of a mixture really, it's created by the same people as Mass Effect (BioWare) so you'll find a lot of similarities within the two games.



Personally I think it's a lot more open world than Mass Effect; you develop your character traits a lot more and the storyline isn't as linear. Also as you can choose the sort of character you are, there is hours of gameplay available and a different story each time depending on choices you make.



If you haven't bought it already then it's definately worth the look.What kind of RPG is Dragon Age: Origins?
The gameplay is more like World Of Warcraft in the fighting style aspects of it. (You pick a target, hit attack, and every so often your character will attack.) But it has a RTS feel in the sense you can switch between all of your party members then tell them what to do.



The game tells you where to go and if you play through all the quests and side quests in the game you'll get around 50+ hrs in it.



Pros:

1) Its a really fun game and has a great story.

2)Classic RPG style

3)Multiple introductions actually add to your characters story



Cons:

1)When the game ends it literally ends (unless you buy downladable content)

2)Every enemy you kill you'll never be able to fight again in that character profile

3)You'll end the game being lvl 20 something



Good game for $30 but if you're getting it I'd get the one with extra content because beating the game and working on your character for so long to just have it all end is dissapointing.
It goes back to the origins of BioWare RPGs. On PC and Mac the gameplay is similar to Baldur's Gate and some MMORPG's. You have an action bar with skills and you click on them to use them. You can pause the game and zoom out for a strategic overview.



The structure is very similar to other BioWare games. It's not open ended like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3. Instead you have a map screen and click where you want to go. Combat is not like Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls. Your main quest is very straightforward so there's no getting lost.What kind of RPG is Dragon Age: Origins?
It's similar to Mass Effect (ME) but more so to Bioware's previous game, Knights of the Old Republic. You're told to do main missions (in any order you wish) and you can pick up a number of side missions on the way. It's not nearly as open world as Oblivion or Fallout where you can walk for hours in one direction but there are still quite a few places to explore.



I heartily recommend it, all the same.
More like Mass Effect series, definitely.



But be warned; this game is not only long, but has repulsive, TERRIBLE gameplay! The story is cool, for the most part, but I lost a bit of my soul going through this lame adventure. Just look up dialogues on youtube and save yourself the torture.
FPS!
