And I wanted to know, not having played a BG game beyond the very start of the first, are they the same endless, empty cinematic of lifeless encounters with companions that make me want to wretch in anger at having to choose at least two talking ones? And if this is the case, why the fuck do these games have such intense followings even on prestegious magazines like the Codex? It's obviously not for the gameplay.

Dragon Age belongs to a "Games with Dating" group on Moby for a reason

I would say BG was a much better game than DA. If DA was the only Bioware game I played I would wonder what the craze was myself.
