Dragon Age Origins: Character Creation?

Hi, im curious how detailed this games is. Can you full customize your character or do they all look the same? like do all human warriors have the same face and hair? or is it like oblivion? or like Baldur's Gate at least? portraits?



Is it worth getting? Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga is one of the best games of all times. dos DAO compare?Dragon Age Origins: Character Creation?
The character creation is quite detailed, very much like Oblivion and Mass Effect. You can select individual portions of the face and alter them, including some more unique sections for a game like this: you can choose tattoos across the face of the character (unlike the two games I mentioned above), and you can even choose a speaking style for your character (usually about 4 or 5 styles depending on your class, race, and origin; this mostly effects how your character speaks in combat but not just conversation since your character is a mute there unfortunately).



I can't compare DA:O to Baldur's Gate, since unfortunately I never played that series or games, but DA:O is shaping up to be quite good. It isn't as ground breaking as Oblivion or Fallout 3, but it does have it's moments. If you aren't sure about the game, may I recommend that you at least give it a rent to see how you feel about it yourself.
