Ive played oblivion and dragon age as well as fallout 3 and this game through with every playable option (mage, archer, warrior, (one dual and one shield and one two handed) rouge etc etc.
As far as im concerned Dragon Age had a few nice aspects, but to my great dissapointment has been ruined by (i assume) EA. They basically slaughtered my favorite game provider. Like mass Effect 2 they screwed up Dragon Age. Sure it has alot of interacting but that doesnt make a RPG complete to me. all the other problems regarding the game; missing armor pieces, screwed up armor looks (some armors didnt show like it should on certain characters, the general lack of armor and weapons, just a very few unique looks on weapons. very poor and overly expensive DLC's is just a few things that made me decide to never buy a EA game ever again.
This game however, i find far more exciting. I love the whole concept, the armor looks and variety is great (besides, i dont have to spend an insane amount of bucks to get a few more fighter outfits) the story is great and thrilling. I do miss somewhat a better skill system, and the towers you fight while dragon are a bit tiresome over time. But in general this game litteraly chops the head of Dragon Age (remember that my opinion is my own :p). Whereas dragon age feels half finished, this game takes it all home.
Id place this game along with my favorites like Oblivion, Fallout series, Baldurs Gate series, Newerwinter Nights series (except the last one), Mass Effect (Only the first one) and to some extent Diablo Series.
I cannot compare it quite to oblivion. It feels alot different, and oblivion is far more extensive. Even so, i love this game just as much.
