I just tried playing Dragon Age last week, and couldn't even get more and 2 hours in. While I was putting the game back into the GameFly envelope, I was trying to figure out why I don't like DA at all, but I LOVE Mass Effect. Then I was reminded of a very similar situation: I LOVE Fallout 3 but I couldn't stand Elder Scrolls. My first thought was that maybe I just don't like fantasy settings, but LOTR are some of my favorite movies/books. I enjoy other fantasy things as well. So what is it about these games? Does anyone else have this same conundrum?
