I put Dragon Age down after about fifteen hours invested into it. The game looks great and feels polished but lacks originality and some very basic RPG concepts both old and new.

I've been trying to summarize all my gripes with this game without resorting to a list...

At it's core the game is very story driven. It feels like you are playing a fantasy novel and BioWare did a great job at building a vast world with a deep story. DA is by fart one of the best story content deliveries i have ever seen in an RPG. The interaction, acting and pacing are superb.

My gripe lies in the fact that this is less a game and more of an interactive novel - a mediocre novel because the story is nothing original. DA focuses so much on delivering it's content that everything which make a GAME fun suffers.

In the end I'd rather read a great fantasy novel and play ModernWarfare.
