I certainly look forward to playing this game. BioWare is a great company and they produce quality games. It might give some insight into how they view RPG elements in the upcoming SW:TOR MMO. That too will have individual lines of play for each class of character and an experience very unique to each and every player. I'm glad you decided to take a look at the game and review it even if it isnt an MMO because it helps bring some perspective. MMO's lately have become increasingly unimaginative and rather grindy. Maybe BioWare bringing in the RPG element as one of the core pillars of an new generation of MMO game play will lead to the genre broadening its horizons.

Well, we've seen what Blizzard could do with an MMO from one of their franchises. I can only imagine how much better Bioware will pull it off with one of theirs, i.e. The Old Republic.

I want to be a smuggler, I want to be a smuggler, please say I can be a smuggler.

I want to be one of those in real life too. I'm looking for work, and it might as well be fun and dangerous. :D

Way to ruin some the the story dick

Isn't it single player as well, I mean no multi what so ever? (I know it's not a MMO I'm not bitching about that. :) ) That sort of turned me off it. I enjoy gaming with my friends too much, I've become spoiled. Although I'll admit it looks cool, I'd never finish it just single player, I have video game ADD.

When i heard Dragon Age as a baldur's gate fun i got excited... But when i heard that your characters can not die during battle but instead hes becoming unconcious and that they use this same system of Nwn 2 i trully got disapointment...This element sadly kills all the immersion and thrill during a battle since u dont care if a character is going to die..Truly this sucks..

The devs said that the characters cant die cause every character u meet has a part to play in the scenario 's proggresion but...

In baldur's gate ALSO there were some awesome characters to meet and get them in your party with great stories for each one of them BUT THEY STILL COULD DIE in battle if u didnt played well and u wouldnt live the stories of them if they died.

Thrill and immersion is being removed from the games nowdays ,and those 2 elements are the reason why great games like baldur's gate appeared and made huge fan base and took gameplay into another lvl...

Nowdays it seems like they are making the games suitble for 8-10 years old kids and i dont see anyone complaining about that.

They focus to great videos and graficks instead of gameplay addiction and depth..Thats sad..

this is the best game i've ever played in my life. it would, without a doubt, be the best mmorpg title ever made if bioware decides to make it into an mmorpg. i was a bit sad at first when i found out it wasn't an mmorpg, but the mmorpg elements quickly revealed itself on the first battle. i am not a fan of rpgs, but this game takes the cake- and a cup of milk.

i've beat the game so many times already, missing only the darkspawn chronicles DLC, and i continue to play it because there is so much to do in the game. each choice you make very slightly alters the game, cut-scenes, party approval rating, and pretty much everything else for that matter. for those looking to take a break from mmorpg's, Dragon Age is certainly won't disappoint. or for that matter, once one gets a taste of this game, mmorpg's will seem... dull. so much so, that i can't find myself committing to any mmorpg's anymore; at least until one as great as Dragon Age hits shelves. 

did i mention that you can have sex in the game? yeah, it's just that awesome.

 There are no MMORPG elements in Dragon Age. Yes, it is an RPG, but the most important part of an MMO game is the MMO part. Dragon Age isn't even multiplayer. I don't even know why you are trying to compare it to MMOs or rezzing this nec thread. in any event, I enjoy DA a lot, and am currently playing it instead of any MMO, but that doesn't mean I am going to say it is something that it is clearly not.

When i fired this game up on my pc, i was expecting to spend a couple couple of hours in the game, then go do my daily tasks.. I was wrong.

This game captured me, I spend the whole day and the next, glued to the screen. Then beat it.

Only dissapointing part was the end boss was way too easy.

But definitly worth getting this game if you haven't already.

Dragon Age is one of my favorite rpgs.

It's crazy how Bioware could just keep churning out fantastic games like this.

"According to Bioware, they wanted to show it to a wider audience and thought that specifically MMO players would find it to be a complimentary experience. Fair enough."

Loved the game at first but quit after I realized I was paying a subscription in disguise after buying some of the DLCs.

 I wait a bit for reviews of each DLC before I buy them. I do the same for mass effect 2. It works out well since I can pick where to spend my money. I really enjoyed Leliana's Song though, I thought it was well done and worth the money.

I loved DA:O, but after spending a total of over 100 dollars on buying the game, then the DLC....I quit and figured I just wouldn't get to keep playing to see more and more storylines, because that is just TOO MUCH MONEY to spend on a single player RPG.

Never again will I do that...even as much as I enjoyed the experience. It's just too damn expensive.

DLC is the singleplayer version of the mmo cash shop. I refuse to support either.

I own ME, ME2, and DA:O along with all the DLC for all 3. However, I only paid for the base games.

The difference is the fact that if not for the DLC, you probably wouldn't see that content at all.

Gee, you mean they'd have to go back to making full games for one price; and real expansions full of content for one additional reasonable price instead of charging $5+ for an hours worth of play? Works for me.
