Resolution Magazine writes: "Even though it's easy to pick apart, even though it occasionally struggles to maintain the quality of its stand-out segments, there is no doubt that Dragon Age is a brilliant game. Perhaps, had it been released this time last year, it would have struggled to match Fallout 3's lonely atmosphere, or Fable 2's colourful and vibrant world. But in a year of comparatively few large-scale RPGs, it stands many heads and shoulders above its meagre competition, with a backbone of hefty politics and a culture in which you could immerse yourself for an eternity."
