I like Mass Effect more, but Dragon Age is still an amazing game and I definitely recommend if you're a fan of Mass Effect.

i haven't been able to get ME2 yet but i can highly recommend DA:O its a great game. However, the choices and dialogue is more intense and the charactor build is more complex. So if you like more action and simplistic RPG elements DA:O might not be for you but if you like an intense RPG experance then get it for sure.

think more of KotOR when thinking of an approach to Dragon Age, the combat is a bit more similar but it tosses heavy character development at your face

I loved Dragon Age but love Mass Effect 2 more. I prefer the combat style in ME and also like the space setting more than DA fantasy setting.

Both are great games. I like Mass Effect better. Dragon age is closer to KOTOR in gameplay than Mass Effect.

IMO Mass Effect 2 is the better game, DA is clearly made for the PC and controls clunky in comparison. Still a good rpg but better played on a pc if possible.

I'd say get both, I'd personally choose Mass Effect, but it'd kill me not to be able to play Dragon Age.

Mass Effect. Just about everything was better in ME in my opinion. I like Dragon Age, but ME is the superior game.

Both awesome games/series.

But.. If I had to rate them....

Dragon Age = 9.5/10

Mass Effect 1 = 9/10

Mass Effect 2 = 10/10

In my honest opinion of course.

I honestly love all 3 of the game alot

I liked the action and design of ME2 more, and the depth of characters and conversation/relationships etc better in Dragon Age: Origins.

Really enjoy them both, not finished either yet, but enjoying ME2 more. Really enjoyed Mass Effect finished that, but i think Dragon Age beats it.

Mass Effect 2.
Absolutely outstanding game so far.

I've completed DA:O.
You've really gotta be careful in Dragon Age. If you don't plan your team right and level up correctly and such.. You may never pass the final boss. 3 of my friends messed up and can't defeat the final boss.. and on my first file I made a mistake or two and it took me forever to beat it.
However once you've got it down.. It's still a lot of fun. I enjoyed my Second and Third playthrough just as much as the first. (: But after that, it lost appeal.

Still Mass Effect 2 though.

I would reccomend Dragon Age. I found it more fun than Mass Effect. My explanation for this is just, I hate aliens.

I like the fantasy setting better, as well as the deeper character development. Don't get me wrong...I love Mass Effect, but I just prefer Dragon Age more.

Glad I'm not the only one that found it boring. Mass Effect 2 was good though.
