Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition

The story and the dialogue are well written, but the rest is typical BioWare. Pros: + deep lore (mostly hidden in a codex) + some well written dialogue + different camera perspectives (isometric and third-person view) + combat combos + a.i. scripts adjustable + voice acting is good + party members reaction to players choices Cons: - repetitive combat (fighting the same enemies in a dungeon over and over) - mmo style quests (quest givers with exclamation mark above head) - mmo style combat with rare difficulty spikes (on hard difficulty no tactics, strategy or skill are required) - enemies and objects spawning (in an explored area) after taking a quest - small dungeons/rooms seperated by loading screens - lifeless world - silent protagonist - generic fantasy story - too few interesting characters - generic art style (armor, weapons, loot, levels)

The game is a classic take on the old school RPG, with a fresh modern touch without the DnD rule base. You have 6 starting locations with consequences being visible througout the game which has a dark and captivating story of the like rarely seen! The mood is dark and you got the feeling of impending doom just closing in on you and your party. There are numerous ways you and dialogue with your party and even though I have played the game for years, I still find new dialogue options. If you like a dark fantasy RPG game, with deep story and near-endless dialogue options with your party then this is the game you want to buy! IMO the series has deteriorated since then in gameplay, though the story is brilliant!

It's modable. It has great storytelling, world building, lore and so on. The characters are mostly memorable. The skill, combat and item systems are from strong to "okay." A 100% run is easily 80hr of content. Not bad content you grit your teeth to do, but GOOD content. I still think about a few certain characters eleven years after I first purchased it. This is on the very short list of the top games ever made.

This game is enjoyable for me to play again & again because you can't find any other game that is similar. Since there are new mod improving game graphic, the game doesn't feel outdated much. I've finished playing Origins, Awakening & Leliana's Song long time ago, but now decided to try out all the DLC. I'm glad that I bought it on GOG as my first game on here (many games on STEAM). It's a shame DA2 and DA3 isn't available here. Just buy Dragon Age Origins here if you're wondering to buy Dragon Age Origin on STEAM or Origin aka EA site. GOG is free DRM & no issue/bug for DLC activation

An absolute must have for RPG fans
