Every now and then a game comes along that could never last long enough, no matter how many hours it gives you. I finished two games this week, Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins. Borderlands was not that game. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed it. I'll enjoy playing it again with my friends when they can get together, and the humor and style were fantastic.
But Dragon Age is an event. Dragon Age is an RPG that takes a step back and remembers that the roleplaying part of RPG actually matters. The game is entirely voiced, and the acting is fantastic. Conversations with your followers change depending on what choices you make. Conversations between your followers are worthy of stopping for just so you don't miss a single line of interaction. The codex is filled with world-building, and if you take the time to read it all, will show you a world full of history, intrigue, and politics.
It's a rare game that makes me want to turn around and start again as soon as I finish it. And considering I put in around 70 hours to reach the end, that's really saying something.
