I'm just simply more interested in game-play, tactics and ability development when it comes to RPG's, of any type, possibly a reason why I love Masters of Magic.

Edit: In reference to Dragon Age
I actually agree with your point. On a pure game playing level, Mass Effect 2 did better and other RPG's were far more pleasing than Dragon Age.

But.

Dragon Age uses the medium of a fantasy based RPG to put the player into a 360° world of moral choices, where every action has important consequences, every chracter has a role in the Big Picture, and none of them is completely pleasant or negative....

And it makes you do choices that are really hard to swallow.

It's a unique psychological expertience,m and shouls be jusged as that.,
