DA:O might be my new favorite game [no spoilers]

If im being honest its not the series itself that i love, when Dragon age 4 came in to the news recently about MP it didn't get me excited to play it but rather to go back to Origins which is exactly what i did.

At the risk of pissing people off i really feel like we lose too much of what made it special moving forward because of a desire to appeal to as many people as possible with a design shift towards action RPG and additions like the voiced dialogue wheel or the tiresome open world. Even a staple like modding has largely been left by the wayside.

The thing is roleplaying is such a big part of RPG's for obvious reasons and Origins is special when it comes to this in that you can have a completely unique experience if you choose a different race and sex.

Seriously i encourage you to play it again, i always played human male warrior and for the first time just did female mage and having a silent protagonist just allows a writing team to be so much more intricate from a roleplaying perspective
