Hooked Gamers: Dragon Age: Origins Preview

Now BioWare re-emerges to the forefront with Dragon Age: Origins. It is described as the "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate by BioWare CEO Ray Muzkya, though the game is NOT based on AD&D RPG, or placed on the same fantasy world. Once again, prepare to be irresistibly sucked into the character creation process. The "Origins" referred to in the title has to do with the in-depth history of races, nations, communities, as well as people.

People and places don't just spring into being one day and remain stagnant after that. They developed over time, as will your character. You will not so much build a character as grow one.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion497d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad497d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90497d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183497d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90497d ago (Edited 497d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde496d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90496d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde496d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator496d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13496d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
