It's a lot of fun. I played through it 2 or 3 times. Definitly worth it.

Dragon Age is really good. If you enjoyed Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic you will absolutely enjoy the game, but don't exact Mass Effect level graphics. The game is no technical marvel in terms of eye candy, but the gameplay, the story and background are all there.

I would say they're average. You don't need the expansion to enjoy the game either.

Dragon Ages: Origins is really awesome. The interface and the skills are nice. It's quite challenging. It might be troubling for newbie PC gamers however. I really recommend it, but if you aren't much of a gamer, it may be hard to control and get used to.

It's definitely worth it. Especially if you liked those two games.

They're not bad, some textures and stuff look funky at times. Overall they're on the upper end of average. Nope, You don't need the expansion to fully enjoy the game.

I bought it recently. It's really fun. Not quite as fun as I thought it would be, but still really fun. I was hoping for something more Open-World. But there's some nice exploration and alot of items and loot. It's like a single-player MMO.

The game is definitely awesome, but be aware that the end is PUNISHINGLY difficult and can be downright frustrating

Played through it 2 and a half times. I couldn't suck it up to finish the 3rd.. but it's an amazing game. Just be prepared to sit on your arse for long hours. This game will suck you in.

You'll enjoy the game very much so if you liked ME and KOTOR. Like mentioned, graphics really are not on par with most games, but really don't distract that much from the fantastic story.

I may be the odd one out, but I think ME 1+2 are the best games I've played on the 360 - but DA:O was fairly average and in parts even a bit dull. Meh.

It's a great game. Certainly one of the top RPGs this gen.
