      @@parallax7789 No, no it's actually quite good. Some might even call DA:O great. But Warhammer fantasy predated Dragon Age by a few decades. Just listen to that video and then remember the Dwarven Legion of the Dead from the Dragon Age series. You can clearly see the inspiration.
      Dragon Age Origins was a good game, but I sincerely thought the game was a lot more original then it is. They took the elves and subverted the usual tropes. They added a pinch of African slavery in the US, a bit of civil war era fighting and then topped it all off with some medieval inspired Jewish ghettos. It might not have been the most relevant social commentary, but there's nothing wrong with remembering history, even if it's in a fictionalized form. After all, those that forget history are doomed to repeat it.
      But I really thought there was a lot more original stuff in there than there apparently was. Seriously, I haven't been this shocked by this level of similarity since I first read on Warhammer Fatasy and Warhammer 40k and Blizzards Warcraft and Starcraft series.

      Dragon Age Origins was a great game. Might not be as flashy as the newer stuff, but that is a rock solid story. As for the whole idea of nothing truly being new, it is hard to find out where the bottom of the rabbit hole is. I know a number of old science-fiction stories, religious stories, folklore, anything else you can name that influence Warhammer 40K. It's still my favorite setting in the world. At the end of the day nearly every story has been told already at this point. It's just trying to find a combination that hasn't been utilized yet.
