1up reviewer choose those words to classify dragon age.  
 
Do you agree? 
 
If not what is the best rpg of the HD era? 
 
Cheers

Probably but thats not saying much.

No. Mass Effect.

I still think demon's souls is better but they are not even the same kind of rpg so it its unfair to compare them to each other

RPG's are such a personal experience, when done well, so it's extremely hard to compare them.  I personally enjoy Bioware RPG's (I guess CRPG) much more than any other type - so for me, DA:O is probably the best RPG of the HD era, with Mass Effect behind it.  I personally don't like Bethesda RPG's at all and could never keep up my interest in any of their games, but for those that aren't as picky Fallout 3 is pretty good competition. 
 
I might pick up Demon's Souls, just because it sounds like such an original idea, but I somehow doubt it provides the immersive experience of a Bioware title.  

It's actually Bowser's Inside Story.

Hey man, haven't you heard? It's the "RPG of the decade."
But joking aside, I still need to get my hands on the game to make that judgment for myself. I loved Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.

No, I think Oblivion's probably the best so far.

" No, I think Oblivion's probably the best so far. "

I rather have a bunch of favourites then a single one. And I really hate the word "Best" when it comes to anything.

I have to disagree. There are several current-gen RPGs I've enjoyed a lot more than Oblivion, Fallout 3 being one of them. "

"Best" in anything regarding to movies, video games, music, etc. is pretty much subjective at this point.

Technically, Persona 4 was released during the HD era, so no, Dragon Age is not.
 
In all seriousness, though, I find such praise to be mostly hyperbole.

Fallout 3 seems a lot like Oblivion, except the shooting mechanic with VATS. That kinda ruins the whole game for me. "

They're extremely similar on the surface, but after playing both of them I found that they're actually very, very different. "

GOTY.

The best this year, yeah. Maybe not the HD era.

No. Actually GTA IV is the best RPG of the HD era. It just needs a special set of eyes to see the RPG nature of GTA IV. It obviously is a RPG  - isn't it?
 
A day in the life of Nico Bellic. That's what it did best. Eat, sleep, watch TV, take a walk, drive to a job, do a job, hang out with friends, race some dudes, fisticuffs...

I count WRPGs and JRPGs separates so Im not including JRPGs...I would agree to it being the best RPG of the HD era and of the year(that I can remember at the moment anyway.) Any other RPG some people are saying I just think are absolutely terrible. Its not very hard for it to be the best RPG of the HD era because to me, there has been nothing but complete garbage to barely likeable RPGs at all. The only thing that gives it a run for its money to me, is The Witcher.

I'd hope if it really was the best RPG of the year I'd actually have some interest in the game, but I don't.  Lots of the design concepts and the theme are not only unappealing to me, but actually actively turn me away from the game.
 
Demon's Souls is my RPG of the year, and Fallout 3 probably my RPG of this generation so far.  Both weigh heavier on action and have much more appealing design to me.

" I'd hope if it really was the best RPG of the year I'd actually have some interest in the game, but I don't.  Lots of the design concepts and the theme are not only unappealing to me, but actually actively turn me away from the game."

So far, to me, yes.  The RPG genre just isn't what it used to be.

Like what?  Just curious.

Mass Effect is IMO.

This is very true.  It's easy to make the empty argument that Fallout 3 is Oblivion with guns, but I found Oblivion to be absolutely no fun to play unless I was gaming the system.  The gameplay in Fallout 3 was different in many ways and better in most all of them. "

I think you would find that many deem Morrowind Better"
