Do get it!! lol you'll love it! I asked basically the same question. I was so stuck on Oblivion, I couldn't possibly see myself playing anything else. I purchased DA and WOW! It makes Oblivion seem so outdated for me. I didn't play Oblivion for a couple of months, I went to play it and update some of my companion mods.. and I was like.. ugh I can't do it. It seems so drab compared to Dragon Age. I even uninstalled Oblivion! Although you can't 'free travel' really like you can in Oblivion.. the game is SOOOO worth it and it's more addictive than I ever thought possible. I've played through prolly 20 times now and each time I complete the game, I start with another new character right away lol It's the best game in my opinion and I'm confident that you won't be disappointed. I just hope that there will be more mods made for DA, oblivion spoiled me there.. that's for sure. All the best, and I can't wait to hear if you try it or not.. and see how long before you post back here that you're a DA addict like so many of us :banana: ~Shamikka~
