Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition

Loved playing it. The combat isnt my favorite, but managable. The characters are amazingly written and I enjoyed the witty dialogues - its a must for me to enjoy a game (nothing worse than bad writing). Still there were some issues like the combat or - as some here said - crashing. After spending 10 minutes looking into it on the internet (you know, where all the information is easily gathered) you had a great solution. Even for the crushed save files. It doesnt even take 10 minutes and after that I never had any crash again. So if you are having the problems, feel free to jump on Google and help yourself. Its really not that hard. I know it should not be there, but Windows can be a pain and if you want to play it, why not invest some time for a solition instead of... what do I say :)

It's a good game :-)

Who would have imagined that 'lovemaking' was our salvation? Now being serious, game is a 9 out of 10. Only reaching the ending starts with some 'meeh'. Yet, DLCs are a hole other story... oh oooh OH my friend! Beware the chests were loot isn't loaded, game crashing in most of boss fights, impossible quests, losing your Warden's equipment in a Awakening quest cuz 'Why not?' and much, much more! Extras would be good if aren't so rushed and feel empty and nonfunctional... In Steam modding to solve bugs is a bit harder than on GOG, also comes with fewer 'downloadable content' items.

NICE

Only one word describe this game, Masterpiece. This game is really one of my all-time favourite. I found it here on gog.com recently (had it on cd before but cd got lost) so i decided to buy it and *crash* replay it all over again. Game is really wonderful at storytelling, you decide course of the story, yes its choosing pattern like 1,2,5,4,3 or 4,3,1,5,3, at end you complete all of them regardless of *crash* which you complete first but somehow it really gives you feel you control whole course *crash* of story. Combat is really another great aspect of game, its not like super fast action focused nor its slow turn-based combat *crash*, you have pause option at anytime to pause combat and tell everyone what to do or just adjust AI actions *crash* to your liking (example: Companion: if hero HP < 50%: cast Heal) and with right tactics options you can play your hero without pause *crash* button and companions do their job. Ambient is really one of best *crash* music is most of the time unnoticeable but actually brings so much to atmosphere, they really hit *crash* the region with music and blends so nicely. For RPG/ambient element you have companions *crash* random chat that triggers in game when you are walking or *crash* reach some point of significance and that chat changes based on *crash* who is in your party (one who are, are talking obviously) and big impact on talk is also your relationship between them *crash*. Example: I was very close with Morrigan (obviously) but you start with higher reputation with Alistair (names dont spoil game if you dont know who they are), when Morrigans *crash* reputation was higher than Alistairs *crash* Morrigan was mocking Alistair how she stole Warden from *crash* from him. So why *crash* 4* for gog.com release? CRASHES! I noticed number of crashes increase as you get near the end of game (as is in this text), and i think it probably has to do something with fireball spells and chain lightning, but i dont remember crashes on my first playthrough! Final verdict BUY IT!
