I'd say Fallout 3. I still play the original pre-DLC FO3 and can easily spend 60-100 hours on a single play-through, and since I got it last Christmas I've done maybe 4-5 play-throughs, and I'm sure In a few months I'll come back for another. I havn't played Dragon Age, but if it's anything like Mass Effect, then what you can look forward to is one epic (and enjoyable) run through the game but no real incentive to replay right away. (I should clarify that when I played ME, I got about halfway through my second run-through when I got bored.) As I mentioned, though, I haven't played DA:O, so I could be way off base with my assumption.
ME is nothing compared to dragons age in my book, the story and characters are amazing and way more immersive in Dragons age, and i easily have 4 playthroughs on it alreadyCkeesy said:
OT: fallout 3 is a big ass sandbox rpg, and you can toy with it alot, but for a very satisfying experience, i would do Dragons age, after playing that i got some oogly booglies for accomplishing it, while fallout 3 i didn't care for anybody or anything in the game and just had fun toying around with it
Really? Maybe I should look into DA:O then. Afterall, I thought that Mass Effect had one of the best-crafted stories of any video game I've played, so if it indeed surpasses this then I don't think I want to miss out.gmaverick019 said:
And while I do agree with what your saying about FO3 not having a satisfying ending (or much of an ending at all), I feel that it can be argued that FO3 is less about getting somewhere and more about how you get there. It caters to people who enjoy exploration, but at the same time it has a pretty strong story if you're willing to take the time to look for all the pieces (or be lazy and read the FO3 wiki).
I don't know. Fallout and Dragon Age have always kind of struck me as gaming-second-jobs with the sheer amount of time one has to put into them, but if you're going for value, I guess they win on sheer breadth alone.
Personally, quality looks a lot better on L4D2 and especially if you don't have the first one, the second offers, while no the 60+ hours of those massive RPGs, a fair campaign and a ton of multiplayer fun.

well actually i do agree, ME has an awesome story, but in dragons age i feel that you get more immersed with all the characters and you get to choose more based on how you are throughout the gameCkeesy said:
very true about FO3, i just tend to do things out of order and kinda lollygag around in there, but the story itself when pieced together right is pretty good, its just in ME and DA:O i think the game itself follows the story alot better and you tend to always be furthering yourself towards your goal while in Fallout it has that open freedom (which is good too)
Dragon Age, easily. There is just so much stuff to do in game and lots of different ways to play it.
As a side note, if you have not bought any of those yet, and can only get one, I recommend waiting and buying Mass Effect 2, well, if you played the first one anyway.

You should have made the question one week ago when all 3 games were on sale in Steam. xP
Get Fallout 3:Game of the Year Edition, but, have an eye on Dragon Age around March when the expansion comes, Steam might do some sale and have both DA:O+Expansion for a cool price. If not wait for Bioware to be over with all the DLC/Expansion packs and buy some sort of GotY/BattleChest edition.

It depends on your preference really.
If I had to choose between the three, I would go for L4D2 solely for the fact I can play with my buddies over and over.
Dragon age and Fallout 3 are both great RPGs, I like Dragon Age a little better but that's probably because I LOVE the toolset and see a lot of good things coming out of it.
It looks better, plays better, and even the new modes are fun.
The AI was upgraded, not so much the survivor bots (infact I am fairly certain the survivor bots have gotten worse), but the special infected do some really crazy coordinated attacks.

I have played all 3 and personally i believe Dragon Age to be the better one.
also @e2density "If your not in to World of Warcraft, you won't be in to DA:O. Don't get that." this statement is a load of crap, I loathe WoW and Dragon Age is Nothing like it as every fantasy RPG is not WoW.
