Fantastic Game!

This is a fantastic RPG that Bioware has made. I was looking for a great RPG that had a great story line, was very long, and was also very replayable. Dragon Age: Origins is that game and so much more.
With six different origin stories to choose from, you can expierence the story multiple times from different viewpoints. Custom leveling lets you make your character fit the role you want it to, along with the ability to custom manage your party members as well. Plenty of side-quests and side-missions will keep you pumping in the hours.
If you are expecting amazing graphics you won't find them here, some of the locations are amazing, some of them are average. Overall the graphics are average as well I would say. The sounds and music are fantastic. I would definately recommend this game to any RPG fan.
What's great about it: Length, very replayable, story
What's not so great: Graphics are average
I would recommend this to a friend!

I thought this game was great. You have 3 very diverse classes to choose from and they can be broken down into 4 specializations when you hit levels 7 and 14. on top of that you have a skill tree that allows you to customize them even more. Stories very good and hooks you. Main story is very long by itself, and if you do all the sides quests it can add problem another 10-20hours. I also liked how the decisions you made in the game makes a big difference on the ending. Must buy if you like games like mass effect, oblivion, knights of the old republic et.
What's great about it: Great story, Diverse classes. Lots of companions
What's not so great: rare freezing problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this game for my son for Christmas, and ended up playing it myself.
When I first played the game, I was impressed with the sheer depth of the gameplay. There were so many options available, and so many different abilities to unlock that I thought it might become overwhelming. Not so. The game progressed easily and I found that just by playing it, I was able to pick up the plethora of options and abilities on offer.
The game's storyline is pretty good, and it kept me coming back for more. I just had to see what was around the next corner (firguratively and literally), and what the next quest would be. I became hooked pretty quickly. There are moments when the dialog becomes a little boring, but stick with it and you'll enjoy it nonetheless.
The graphics are amazing. There are of course times where the characters' faces don't match their emotions, and hands always seem to give programmers a hard time, occasionally acting like water-filled rubber gloves instead of flesh and blood appendages, but these can easily be forgiven when you look at the bigger picture.
Overall, a very worthwhile game. If you like this genre, this is a must have; if you're new to it, it's the cream of the crop.
Buy it, you won't regret it.
What's great about it: The gameplay and storyline keep you coming back for more
What's not so great: Line-of-sight issues occasionally pop up

An return to Baldurs Gate

This is a great game with an epic story line. It starts a little slow but is very nuanced. Expect some real plot twists. You'll be asked to make some morally grey decisions as there is often not a clear wrong or right path. I've invested 22 hours and am 22% complete. Looking forward to the other 78%!
What's great about it: A compelling quest in the vein of Baldurs gate
What's not so great: Graphics are outdated but soon overlooked

Bio Ware makes great RPG's that's what they do. This is along the same line as Star Wars KOTOR, or that martial arts story they did. It is action packed, story driven, and a ton of fun. It isn't an easy breeze to beat- you will find your self reloading and doing over areas so save a lot you'll need to. Eventually you will figure out what works better for you and how you will do it. You do need to micro manage your party or they will die- what that means is (kinda pause) switch between your characters and then tell them who to fight and how to do it or they will suck. There are a lot of settings where you can tell them what kind of person to attack (weakest-strongest etc.) but I found micro managing your best way to success- and its fun. The story is inspired and a great piece of fiction on its own. The world is beautiful and fully fleshed and there are a lot of varied creatures and quests to do or kill. Play this game you will love it- I'm starting my second run through now (there are like 7 or more different stories to play through at the begining for your main character choice). Enjoy!!!
What's great about it: Easy to play, hard to master. A fantastic story, great action, and great characters.
What's not so great: Cut scenes seem a little dated and you can't finish missions if you complete the main quest- or go back into the world

The RPG powerhouse Bioware has released its newest game and the traditional Bioware feel is immediately noticeable. Unfortunately, the game falls short of Bioware's other wonderful efforts. The graphics may be thought of as weak (for those who care, I personally thought they were fine), there were some frame rate issues, and the lack of no tutorials is brutal in this game. It was difficult figuring out all the nuances of the fighting and character development mechanics without a tutorial in the beginning. To focus on the positives, I thought the story was well done and there is an extensive backstory for those who are interested in that sort of thing. Also, the degree of customization available is fantastic and I spent hours adjusting fighting tactics to suit how I play. The character interactions are great and I actually grew to care about what happened to my party. So in the end, this game will be appreciated by RPG lovers, Bioware fans, or those willing to put in the time to learn how to play this game.
What's great about it: Interesting story, customizability
What's not so great: bugs, lack of polish
