So, first off I do not know quite where to put this so if the mods feel there is a better venue feel free to move it. But the question is simple enough. Allons-y.

Putting it in the DAI section sort of tilts the playing field, no?
They're both great series that offer very different experiences. I'd love to see each draw certain things from the other. If I could only play one (maybe that should've been the question), I'd play Mass Effect.

Yeah, the Lobby might have been a better spot.
Dragon Age, but I've not played ME so I would say that.

I'm actually less interested in ME now than I was before the demo. Btw, I keep forgetting to say this, but your username and signature are awesome

I prefer Dragon Age.
As a matter of personal taste, I prefer fantasy to SF, so I prefer the DA world and DA lore to ME's. I mostly prefer the characters in DA, though there are a few fantastic characters in ME. Also it seemed to me that there was much more companion and romance interaction in DA.
On the plus side for ME, I like that it had a returning protagonist and a returning cast of characters that we were able to form frindships with and attachments to.

I've played and enjoyed both, but I enjoy Dragon Age more.
I prefer it's setting and story, I prefer being able to create lots of characters, and I prefer its gameplay.

I put Dragon Age even if DA2 is by-far the weakest of the six games and even though ME has easily the best DLC. The DAO and DAI plots, whilst clunky, surpass ME as, in general, do the companions. The initial ME world-building is better than DA*, but they ruin in ME3 with the Reaper apocalypse. I also much prefer DA style gameplay to ME's hybrid shooter, although I deplore both series abandonment of skills and concentrating purely on combat powers.
*Thedas has all the hallmarks of designers first campaign. Good for books, less so for adventuring games.

I remember Patricia made similar thread on BSN Prime, in DAI section as well, and we said the same thing. There was no off topic to put it in, but this place is different. To the Lobby we go!

Moved to The Off-Topic Lobby per request, to provide a more neutral voting ground.
Also, I really can't pick between the two because I adore both pretty equally.

Dragon Age is best. It comes before Mass Effect if you arrange them alphabetically, so there's your proof right there.

Although I love them both, DA just edges ahead for me, I think. I find there's a bit more tedium in some of the gameplay throughout the ME series, and I prefer many of the DA companions, which accounts for a lot.

It's really close. I prefer sci-fi settings to medieval, so I'll give Mass Effect the nod. DA:O is my favorite individual game of the two franchises tho.

Mass Effect no doubt. The only Dragon Age that I really enjoyed was the first one, the others games went downhill very quickly. Mass Effect on the other hand produced 3 great games. 1 and 2 had a great story and interesting companions while 3 had an amazing multiplayer
