I'm not a clever man

Nowadays im playing a game called Dragon Age: Origins. It started as usual. A hilarious magic school and a stupid mage that doesnt remember everything about her/his past. Now im in a freaking world called "FADE". Does all role playing games must be like that? Same scenerio? I mean forgotten memories and a place actually even not exsists in that role playing world. Like "Fade" or "Oblivion" or "Twelfth Plane of Torment" like in this comic. Dude im not a clever man. What the hell is this place? And what am i doing here with my electrical staff and stupid party members. Im talking with a dog ?!? what is the wrong with this Video Games.
