Mass Effect, but DAO is my favourite (played it more than 15 times).

I picked Dragon Age, only because I prefer fantasy over sci-fi. In fact, I hate most sci-fi, and I had to be pretty much bribed into playing the first ME.
Which is weird because ME2 is probably my favorite game out of the six.

wish it had the third option, because I like both series and they each have their strengths and weaknesses, I mean shale and anders and the storyline is good, but that sexbot and those tight skimpy outfits in mass effect, both let you do things not possible in the real world and have plenty of lore entries in the "codex"
no I like them both and I honestly cant ssay one is better or worse than the other (although me3's gear progeression was way better than dai's)
I think the OP needs to add in an extra option of "neither they both have the own niche and do it well"

I'm more of a sci-fi fan than fantasy, plus i like me some pew pew, so the answer is obvious.

For me it all comes down to the writing and while its a close race (mostly because the Mass Effect series crapped it's pants in the final moments ) I still have to give it to the ME team. The Dragon Age team struggles with writing compelling villains, appears incapable of designing enjoyable female romance options, and worst of all, the comedy in Dragon Age is terrible. Almost every joke in the entire trilogy falls flat on its face, is delivered in an eye rolling fashion, and/or is lazily done. Plus ME has Tali and she's just so darn cute!

Before Inquisition, I'd have said Dragon Age.
After it, I'm now leaning back to Mass Effect.

Never played Dragon Age before, so Mass Effect. And even if I did play DA, it'd most likely still be ME, but you never know.

I'm sure mass effect is great and all but it just wasn't my cup of tea Because it's a sci-fi.

If it wasn't for vanguard charge, I might be conflicted.
As it is, I adore Dragon Age, but CCBWOOOSH -punch- does it every time.

Mass Effect is my favorite gaming IP.
My personal ranking;
1. Mass Effect 2. Dragon Age Origins 3. Mass Effect 2 4. Dragon Age Inquisition 5. Dragon Age 2 6. Mass Effect 3 - Would be higher if not for the last 10 minutes.

I enjoy both series quite a bit, but if forced to pick one I have to go with Mass Effect.
Though to be honest, that has a lot to do with the fact that I simply prefer sci-fi over fantasy in general.

Id have to pick Dragon Age... But bah choice Ive only played erm (most of) Origins and a few hours of Mass Effect 1 and quite a bit of mass effect 3 multiplayer so far... but I also remember watching my ex play part of mass effect 3 singleplayer... So eh im not sure if I have a right to give an opinion but oh well Either way so far I pick Dragon Age Mass Effect 3 wins hands down for gameplay (although I havent got to Inquisition which would kinda be mass effect 3s counterpart I guess) But Mass Effect 1 (Origins' counterpart) just kinda bores me in a way... I love mass effect 3 multiplayer but I cant play mass effect 1 for long at all without getting bored... whereas Dragon Age doesnt at all... And out of the 2 games I prefer the characters (so far) in Origins and I also prefer the atmosphere in Origins and I love the world more I think Dragon Age Origins also has a better inventory system than Mass Effect 1 just saying

You don't bring a sword to a lazer fight! Also.. Mass Effect wins for sure. This sums up my feeling rather well I do love, love, love fantasy sword & sorcery worlds and stories, but there's something about science & science fiction that absolutely just grabs hold of my heart and mind and will never, ever let them go... Not even with medication.

Science fiction > Fantasy, any day of the week.
Think of like this: fantasy put us in the dark ages.
Science fiction put us on the moon.
Gene Cernan would be proud.
One guy with a gun (specifically an ME gun) is more powerful than all of the DA-verse combined.

I think Mass Effect is bit more consistent. Story wise and even gameplay wise. It always felt...tighter and more focused, but that kind of comes with having same characters and same story for the whole trilogy. BW themselves wanted Dragon Age to have new protagonist for each game, which... sure, it´s easier to make fresh start with only few tidbits from previous games this way, but it´s also more all over the place. I still vote Dragon Age though. The serie for some reason just feels warmer to my heart. (well...except for DA2, that´s rebel uncle of the family)
