I am personally not a fan of fantasy; I can't get into the whole magic using and dragon flying and pointed elf ear people running around. It really makes me feel uncomfortable XDD I grew up on Star Wars, so I'm more accustomed to seeing odd bug like aliens wandering around than dwarfs.
However, I absolutely love both Dragon Age I and II. It has a very good story line, wonderful dialogue, very good characters, and a very good make your own character's path. I would say try it because it is very intense and it is only one fantasy thing I could watch and play. I think you'll enjoy it for the story line, characters, and gameplay; for me, it did such a wonderful job that I forgot all about the dragons, elves, and dwarves and had a great time playing it.
The second game is also very good;I was hesitant with that one, but I end up loving it (mainly because I had a hot guy/guy relationship with a character that looked like Oliver Queen HURR 8D <3).
I would say give it a shot <3
