Dragon Age vs Mass Effect
I've played only Mass effect so far, I liked it :3

The first one actually, the gameplay was a bit clunky but I loved the main focus about the story rather than having a tps action game :)

Yes, a thousand times this. It felt like the second lost character compared to the first one, it almost seemed like they made a cast of "tokens" and streamlined a few too many systems, like planet exploration and the darn Citadel. Still haven't played ME3, though, so I'm curious to see how they tie everything up.

ehhhh in the third one they did a few stupid things which I won't spoiler, but still it's not as bad as people complain ^^

It was as bad as people complained, but they fixed it somewhat with the extended ending.
I wanted closure not a "but, wh... huhh?!"
Besides that, I also think the 1st one left the best impression from all 3 of them.

You might be right now, but I played it when it went out and the ending just left a sour taste.
I didn't even pay a full price (went half with a friend) and still felt ripped-off.
P.S. Why the f*** would I want a companion app on my phone. Two saturdays and I was done. If I would've started talking about inter-galactic wars at work, I could kiss my job goodbye and sent to a specialised asylum 'just to be on the safe-side'.

Xcuse me mate, but i didn't get your P.S. at all, not a single idea of what you are meaning.
As for the other, yeah the end was unexpected but ... well, the story generally was damn great.

Mass Effect, hands down. The setting is awesome, the story is phenomenal (minus the ending in 3) and the gameplay is fun. I would definitely say 1 is my favorite, but 2 is a very close second. I always tell my wife that if I ever get amnesia she has to make me replay ME1. The story was awesome and the plot twists were amazing.

You'll love ME4. I was part of a survey where we had to rate the plot, ideas, and gameplay mechanics. And what I saw got me extremely hyped for it!
Comment has been collapsed.
;) Yep! Even got paid for it! I also got to vote on what the name should be =D
Trust me, it's gonna be so cool. It's a whollee 'nother story than ME 1-3 though. But it's gonna be great I hope.

I doubt you'll get proof. If he was part of it than he's not supposed to mention it.
The NDAs are pretty strict.
And besides, wasn't ME4 scheduled for 2017? There's still time for things to change.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are correct =P, the entire Q&A portion of the study actually reflected change. They wanted a ton of suggestions on what should be considered "more important" in their development process, what we wanted to see more, what we didn't want to see. If we liked the story, what we thought the name should be. No idea how anyone else in the study voted, but it certainly won't be exactly as I voted =)
Comment has been collapsed.
They should announce at least some of what's decided when the study is over, which it should be in a few weeks.
But if you're just being a "pics or no proof" guy, I'd rather not go against what I signed to appease you, I apologize.

It is ok, I believe ya, quite awesome to hear that there will be a Mass Effect 4 can't wait for it.

Holy shit, got payed for that... so freaking awesome!
And I'm glad it's another story, ME1-3 was a great trilogy! Hope you can use different races tho, ME3 multiplayer was incredibly good! I never thought I would have so much fun with an RPG's multiplayer

Really? personally I prefer Dragon Age's stories, although they are all separate. I bet you like ME due to the story following one character over three games. I can definitely understand it, it adds a unique charm to the game for sure.

True there is not nearly as much room for developing characters in 1 DA game compared to 3 ME games. I feel like they develop each character enough and carry the right ones over into future games, like Leliana. But I completely understand where you are coming from.

I've only played Dragon Age, Origins and II. In fact, I just finished the second one, and just bought Inquisition, and I'm about to start. I have ME 1 and 2, though, and intend to start it after DA:I.
That being said, it's unfair to vote at this point.

ME:2 is my fourth favorite game of all time. Enjoy! I voted ME although i like DA too, just no where near as much.
Comment has been collapsed.
I definitely recommend holding that vote then until you can experience the 3 games in each series. They're both unique and awesome in their own ways =)

Mass Effect! i played it recently! didnt know what i was missing out xD

I have played and almost fully completed DA 1,2,3 and ME 1,2,3. Was a ME fanboy at one point.
This is really hard but last criteria for me will be setting. Fantasy appeals more to me so Dragon Age wins.

Bruv, Dragon age Inquisition is the best, (even though it is the FIRST open world Dragon age)

i like both a lot,but i prefer Dragon age,because i'm more into fantasy.

I haven't finished the Mass Effect series yet, but Dragon Age will always hold a special place in my heart, since I was completely obsessed with it for a year or two. And it was the first game that I can remember beating. I still haven't gotten around to playing DA:I, though. I really need to get to that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha I played DA:O 19 times and counting. It's one of my favorite games ever. DA:I is a combination of Origins and #2 really, I'm sure you'll enjoy it =)

I love both series. But if I had to pick one I would have to go with Mass Effect. Since you can play the same character through the whole series. I felt more connected with the crew. I know alot of people hated the ending but I loved it. Of course I waited until they released the extended cut before I played 3. I couldn't pick which ME is my favorite since to me it's just one epic story being told. DA lacks that. Each game is about something different & DAI tries it's best to tie them all together. And for me it just felt forced. Don't get me wrong Inquisition is an amazing game & every DA fan should play it. But as a series ME just flowed better.

Mass Effect 2 destroys most modern day games you compare it to.
DA: Origins is great, but ME:2 is near perfect.

I played both series. I like all the games but since I'm a fan of space-themes, I vote Mass Effect.
Comment has been collapsed.
Played all games except Inquisiton. I like them both but mass effect gets my vote. Story of DA:Origins reminds me LOTR and gameplay of DA:2 is bad (boring and recycled maps). Mass Effect is unique. I dont understand why people dont like ME3 ending x.x
Comment has been collapsed.
I suggest you try DA:I! The story and gameplay is quite a spin on both of its predecessors.
Mass Effect is pretty unique though. Can't wait until #4!

Played Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.
While I love all BioWare games, my preference goes to the Mass Effect series.
While Dragon Age: Origins plot is awesome, some skills and specializations are bugged or just plainly suck. Arcane Warrior is extremely powerful, Shapeshifter sucks, the Assassin's Lacerate is probably still bugged like the Reaver's Frightening Appearance bonus to taunt and probably more...

Mass Effect just because I prefer sci-fi over fantasy.

I prefer sci-fi over fantasy, so I give my nod to Mass Effect. Dragon Age is a fantastic series though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dragon Effect: The Age of Mass. But honestly, ME 1, haven't played any other, because I don't have them. ME 1 had better story, and it's s-f. And everyone knows that s-f > fantasy. Everyone...

If you mean series, then Mass Effect. If you mean a single game: DAO = ME2 IMHO.

Having played both series, mass effect by far. I had more fun playing ME2 than all DA games combined.
Comment has been collapsed.
Such a hard decision cause they are both so good :(
Probably have to go with Mass Effect cause the gameplay was simply amazing in 2.

mass effect, because it had the better run. it dropped the ball like a champ in the third game, but the first two games were great.
dragon age had an epic, fantastic first game, and then kinda pissed it all away, sadly, by listening to the wrong people.
also think mass effect had a more cohesive storyline (third games ending excluded), where as dragon age origins had a fantastic story that was concluded and then it just kinda moved on with other storylines. da2 was ridiculously bad storywise.

Dragon Age Origins best setting, great story telling
Mass Effect 2 best gameplay, great game feeling
BUT: Knights of the old Republic best story, best characters, most fun

I really should continue it. It's just that the gun turret sequence is annoying with the tablet controls.
Anyway, looking forward to playing DA:O and ME one day. I played the intro sequence of DA:O but it had no save and I needed to turn the game off, and never came back, and I played some ME but stopped, not sure why.

I wish I could finish those games but my steam versions have game-breaking bugs in them (the same one in each, nonetheless) and I don't have enough money to buy GoG versions atm =\

I bought ME 1 a couple years ago and I still haven't even gotten half way through it. It is just so darn repetitive. Quite boring.
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't finished ME1 either but you should really try the second one. IMO, it's a lot better than the first one in terms of mechanics and gameplays. My love for ME grows after playing number 2 ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd love to, but I want to get the story from ME1 first and I hate getting the story without actually playing through it. :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah... I'd only managed to play through half of the story and I still didn't know what happen to Wrex. But you did kinda "start again" in ME2 so I guess that's not much of a loss, at least for me :)

My two favorite Bioware series and many others might agree.
But which do you think is better? Be it if you prefer one setting more, the gameplay in one more, or whatever reasons you may have. I wanna know your opinion.
My favorite is definitely Dragon Age as it is a spiritual successor to the old but gold Baldur's Gate and the D&D Era, but Mass Effect was a thrill as well.
