Mass Effect 2 VS Oblivion VS Dragon Age

[Zeema]

Whats the best in your head? mine is oblivion because i like to play in first person view and i love the medieval style too it.

No add ons and expansions do not count.

i screwed up the poll so just put down what you would pick sorry

Mass effect... I love Sci Fi more than fantasy... even though I did love dragon age.

But for Oblivion I thought Fallout 3 was much better, in fact it's one of my favourite games.

I've only played ME2 so... wait oh no I've broken my own rule of unnecessary post AAAAAaaaaaa....-blinks out of existence-

Mass Effect 2 by a mile. One of my favorite games of all time. Dragon Age is pretty good, and I never really liked Oblivion.

Dragon..........Quest

Mass Effect 2 > Dragon Age > Oblivion.

I never liked Oblivion. You want to know why, just watch Zero Punctuation.

Oblivion, easily. Dragon age follows that, closely tailed by ME2. They're all great games, but Oblivion can only be beaten by it's own dad.

I've never played Dragon Age, but if it's a contest between Oblivion and Mass Effect 2, then definitely Mass Effect.

 

[Almoturg]

Oblivion, by far. I did the first two missions of the main storyline then just went away and explored the world for about 30 hours before even thinking of continuing with the main quest. All in all I played about 300 hours (including mods). I miss the freedom to just go off and explore, break into some random house, or do quests which have absolutely nothing to do with the main story in every other RPG I play. They just seem linear in comparison.

oblivion but i love mass effect. Dragon age was a little bit of a letdown =(.

 

[Daveman]

Oblivion is my favourite... but it's the only one I've played. Also it's a bit unfair to compare a game that's like two or threee years old to some that came out this year.

 

[Adam the Smith]

Mass effect 2 all the way

 

[oden636]

Oblivion easily. Bioware is good at making games but to me they dont feel like RPG'S. Oblivion is a massive game which you can do almost anything you feel like. whereas ME2 and DA:O they are fairly linear.

 

[Woodsey]

ME2 is my favourite between itself and Dragon Age, but they're pretty close.

Oblivion's off to the side somewhere as it's a different type of game - to compare them is silly.

Mass Effect 2 and Oblivion both have combat systems that pretty much consist of "hit the other dude until he keels over". Dragon Age thus wins because even if it isn't the best combat system I've seen, it at least contains some depth and allows for some nifty tactics.

In general, I think Dragon Age is the better of the three games. It isn't as open as Oblivion, but doesn't feel as confined as ME2 either. It has lots of lore, but probably less then ME2 (I can't verify this, but ME2 feels like it has a meatier codex). All in all, Dragon Age is just a good game.
