Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition

Origins has the best story and most tactical combat in the series as well as in my opinion better facial animations than any of the games that have come since. I've played through Origins and 2 many times over and Inquisition twice so I say this as a fan of the series.

The 1st installment in an amazing series! Worth going back to replay; customized characters, chioces matter, stellar voice acting and engrossing story.

a true classssic "Return to form"

The best Dragon Age and the best Bioware's game in my opinion. You have your classic high fantasy settings with elves, dwarves, magic and so on with a twist. Yes, the main plot is about stopping the ultimate evil, but this doesn't make the world black and white. The "good" guys aren't romanticised heroes. Elves are locked in ghettos and they are treated as second class citizens. Dwarves have a strict caste system that forces the poor to turn to criminality. Mages have to live with a constant threat that their gift might turn them into abominations. And Grey Wardens... They really won the lottery. What I mean, this is not your classic tale about good vs. evil. Bioware finally abandoned their binary moral system and they present you with interesting morally grey choices. You don't get to choose between "light and dark" side anymore. Add interesting flashed out companions, tactical fighting system, awesome soundtrack, several origins for the main character (depending on the race and background), solid presentation and you're in for the treat. Just emerge yourselves in this bleak experience and become Grey Warden - a hero nobody wants to be.

A dark fantasy RPG that is based on the formula of classics like Baldur's Gate. The graphics still hold up pretty well and if you get lost in the game's complexity you can easily put 100+ hours into it. The Ultimate Edition on GOG is DRM free, doesn't need Origin and does include the full content, If you want to get the game, get it here!
