This is the type of thing that cause's a flame war but since iv'e played and own both I feel the need to put in my two cents. I have not got into dragon age 2 that much yet but the beginning of it was better in my opinion than most moments in skyrim but hey as I said that's my opinion. Anyway in the future I will make more parts to it but for now lets focus I would also like you the reader to put in your input. Tell your friends to come here and voice their's as well. For this first part we will focus on the look of characters, dialogue, and combat.

1.Characters: Well frankly I like bethesda but bioware did good work on star wars knights of the old republic characters and the style really improved and shows in dragon age 2, skyrim has good designs as well but I think bethesda did better with the fallout series.

2.Dialogue: The dialogue in skyrim is kinda crappy compared to fallout (Yes i'm a huge fallout fan) but i'll give skyrim a free pass since dragon age 2 is a bioware game and any game made by them makes you go through this sometimes HUGE dialogue tree in (sometimes pointless) conversations. However you can actually make moral choices in the story of dragon age 2 so it's not as bad but still skyrim is the winner on this one.

# Well this was a tough one since skyrim has such a good system but dragon age 2's combat system has improved heavily it would have been a stalemate... except for one fatal flaw skyrim's instakill's in combat it can be quite fun but later the game you will notice that some people can instakill you after 1 or 2 hits. This is bullshit since a bandit marauder does it to you and you happen to be a level 50 or so. In the end the winner for combat is dragon age 2

So lets count...
Dragon Age 2:2
Skyrim:1

Later in time as I play I will continue with my review and we will continue this but as I said put your own opinions and tell your friends to come here and do the same thank you.
