this will be disapointing going back to dragon age after mass effect

Probably... I can't imagine going back into Dragon Age now, for another dose of The Lord of the Rings.

I have the same feeling. Mass Effect's storytelling and character depth really amped everything up... Dragon Age, now thinking back to it, is just kinda meh for me...

I've been playing lots of Dragon Age since I finished Mass Effect 2, and I'm afraid I have to disagree. I actually prefer Dragon Age.

Really? I tried doing another run through of DA:O a month after ME2, and the combat was felt so weird. I guess it helps that I've played more shooters than Balder's Gate/DnD type of games, but still, it was hard to go back. "

Am I the only one who doesn't equate the two games? Mass Effect 2 plays more like Gears of War than DA:O.  This is almost like comparing Starcraft and Diablo. It was made by the same company, but otherwise, they are entirely different games. "

i say screw ME2, i never liked it, DA:O on the other hand is awesome IMHO, but it may be that i like RPGs better than shooters, which to me is just what ME and ME2 are, as well as Fallout 3.
So i say "SCREW YOU SHOOTER/ RPGS, YOU SUCK".
 
though i must agree with the voice, i wish my human mage had a strong and manly voice to go with his cool beard- ponytail combo :(

I've gone back since, and I don't like it any less. It's a different game, with its ups and downs. What it lacks in graphics and dialogue design, it makes up for in being a simply massive current-gen game.

I understand the graphics gripes, but how is DA:O's conversation system in any way lacking? It seems pretty standard to me. "

After I beat Mass Effect 2 I played through Dragon Age: Origins. I only took a hour to get used to the controls again for me. Other then that I really didn't have a problem getting back into it.

Well if you've played ME 1 or 2, you should know what I mean. If not, then you just have a different opinion. I liked hearing my character speak in ME, and without just having my choice read back to me, like other games do. It's a truly brilliant design and execution, on BioWare's end. "

I still play them both regularly, on multiple playthroughs. They're both magnificent games in their own right. 

ME2 and DAO are like starcraft and wc3. Apples and oranges.

" @sixghost:  while the scale of the mass effect 2 combat was pretty good, it was really a weak point to me. On normal difficulty it is too easy and too slow. You can hide and regen you life too readily. In dragon age even on normal difficulty you are in mortal danger alot and can die fast if you mess up. Thats why you need to pause, because combat is so tight. You dont need to pause anymore in mass effect 2 because the combat just isn't that challenging or complex.  "

It wasn't too hard for me to jump back in.  The gameplay of ME2 and Dragon Age have almost nothing in common outside of dialog trees and pausing.  I've always enjoyed a wide variety of gameplay from the titles that I buy so it's easy for me to hop between to radically different mechanics and still have fun with both.

They are completely different. So no.
