Dragon Age - Review @ The Guardian

A review for Dragon Age: Origins has been published in The Guardian 4/5 .  
The reviewer likes the origin stories, and mentions how the dialogues opens up new plotlines:

The initial sections are nicely scripted – there are six unique ways to start the game – but it takes a good four or five hours before things settle down into a rhythm of get party, go fight and start chatting. Yes, being a Bioware game there is a ton of conversation and reams of text to read through. The incessant chatter often throws up new plotlines and there can easily be as much conversation as combat if you want.
