Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition

This is the last RPG Bioware did before EA took over. In many ways this is the last Bioware CRPG. It's great win for GoG to get the ultimate edition, of the best Dragon Age (IMO). After this it is a lot more like console games, and a lot more EA like behavior. You play DAO for the story. Which is engrossing. You get 6 unique origin stories. Play them all. They are the best way to get background on this new setting. I have never seen a game give this kind of heavily scripted/voiced with so many unique origins. Playing all the origins was one of my favorite parts of the game. After about the first hour, the stories all converge, but there will be interactions that relate back to witch origin you played through, but not enough IMO, to give it much replay value, to repeat play unless you have a lot of time on your hands. Still Between just doing the 6 origins, and just one play through, I was over 100 hours. That didn't even include all the DLC adventures in the ultimate pkg. Really I consider this a must buy for Bioware and most RPG fans. Now some issues: The New RPG system: Feels thrown together. There is no balance, it's kind of simplistic, no multi-classing, few classes. There really isn't much variation. In NWN/NWN2 I was forever trying out new build combos. Here there really doesn't feel like a point. Buggy: There are day one mechanical/story bugs that are well documented. Since being taken over by EA, Bug fixing shipped products is very much deprecated. Save often. Old Bioware was quite a bit better at this. CD Projekt Red is better yet. No Third Party Adventures: While I might spend >100 hours on DAO, I have spent over 1000 hours on NWN, and somewhat lesser, but still hundreds on NWN2. They have rich communities of third party adventures. It's not perfect, But at this price for the DRM free, Ultimate package, it is a Must Buy for just about any RPG fan IMO.

First of all, the bozos rating this game low and crying that "muh game not workz." Stop playing this on that little potato beer can of yours. Second, this is a drm free site, idk how any of you imbeciles can even complain. 10/10, it's the owner's fault, not the game.

Back in 2010, I watched a few of my friends and classmates playing this game. For some reasons, I never had the opportunity to try it. I just purchased the game a few minutes ago and so far, I really love it. It reminds me so much of the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series. This is probably one of my best purchases of the year.

This was the first RPG where I didn't know notice the time I'd spend on it. Every mission had to be completed so I could go into the next. Storyline is very immersive and while the graphics might be a little dated, I hardly notice. While I loved playing on the PC, I'm hoping this will come out for the Mac as well!

I always replay it. ALWAYS!
