Dragon Age: Origins vs Dungeon Siege 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins is the first game in one of the most highly-acclaimed game series, Dragon Age. The game seems to combine all the great elements of a traditional RPG with an epic storyline set in a gorgeous open world that will truly put your morality and decision-making skills to the test. In some way, the game does bring to mind the immersiveness of the Fable series as you'll be able to actually mold your character's personality and morality based on every single decision you make. The host of characters in this game is pretty amazing as well. Their personalities are very well-crafted and this makes them relatable, and hence, realistic.That's not all, the game features an exciting and engaging combat system that will see you fighting enemies of all shapes and sizes... and of course, dragons. Being one of the last Grey Wardens, you also possess incredible magical powers and skills that further augments the game's melee combat. Due to the game's 3-person party-based system, the game's combat system even has a special "paused" function where you can issue individual orders to your allies for a more coordinated but equally fast-paced action combat.
Dragon Age: Origins is the sort of game that can hold its own even after years since its release. In fact, we dare say this game might already made it into the list of modern classics. If you love a rich story and a fun action RPG, this is definitely the game to buy.
Dungeon Siege 2
Dungeon Siege 2 is the sequel to the dungeon crawler game, Dungeon Siege, where it plunges you in a whole new storyline that will see you saving the world once again. In this game, the magic that has been spread out throughout the world is now being called back by an ancient being whose strength is on the rise and only you can stop it. The game has greatly improved on every aspect of its original by fleshing out its gameplay with fully customizable characters, generous amount of loot drops, challenging and compelling quests as well as plenty of hidden secrets for you to find; as well as its graphics and soundtracks.If you are interested to try the Dungeon Siege series, many would strongly recommend giving its second installment a try rather than the first. It's really a lot better than the previous in many ways and it might just make you fall in love with the series after you've done with the game. Sadly, the only unfortunate part is that the Steam version doesn't support multiplayer... still.
