Two Worlds II is awesome. Well, the graphics and all are. Story-wise, it can't beat Dragon Age. Then and again, pretty much no game storyline can beat DA's. The main story, at any rate. Oblivion and DA even each other out on my list.

DA's main story is awesome (choices and character ftw!); side quests are cool but not too stand alone; Oblivion's main story doesn't really have a hook; but their guild quests (Dark Brotherhood anyone? That has got to be singularly the best questline ever. Minus the untimely and inappropriate death of my dear Lucien) are amazingly well done.

Right, back on topic.

After spending quite a while on TW2 (and getting a little tired because the story lacked a hook), I suddenly decided to compare it with DA. And then I went to play DA.

And now I'm officially trying to complete Dragon Age again, as a mage this time.

TW2 is great when I'm bored and all I feel like doing is killing a few people (woohoo!). It's like an MMORPG, except the main story is way better than your typical MMORPG plot, and no one KS-es you. AND no idiot comes up to you and starts asking for money or help or whatever. Nope. None of that irritating stuff.

But DA is still the best, imo. It's because of their writing team that I'm even thinking about joining the game industry someday as a writer. Spending my life creating games' story world, lore, characters, plot/quests and all would be one awesome job.

And I have replayed Oblivion countless times simply for the Dark Brotherhood questline. It's amazing. The whole assassination thing. Just wow.

Which is why I feel like I really cannot wait for both Dragon Age II and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. DA2'll be out in March! Skyrim in November!

AWESOME :DDDDD
