Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition

Game itself is great and I wonder if it's a good idea to buy the Ultimate Edition. A year ago or more I bought the DA Origin and Awakening as an offer on Steam. I've got 2 game as a result. I wonder what's the difference between that version and the Ultimate Edition. I'd like to spend as much time as possible and have an access to all the content on the game. I hope you'll help me.

Игра интересная. Управлять приходится 4 юнитами, что для меня было непривычно, но быстро освоился. Интересные диалоги, особенно те, что происходят спонтанно во время игрового процесса. Приходится много выбирать, и выбор не всегда простой, что придает игре интереса и желания перепройти. Пришлось пойти на сделку с Морриган, потому что нужен был саппорт, а хил никто не продавал 😠

The Good: A story good enough to play through dozens of times. The main story will end the same, but the journey there can be so different. The combat is engaging and challenging, especially on nightmare where 1 mistake can get your whole party killed. The Bad: Graphics are outdated and don't hold up well. AI that can cheat the game's systems on harder difficulties. Enemies spawning midway through a combat scenario. The Conclusion: One of the best RPG's ever made. :)

I played DAO back in the time and i recently bought the ultimate edition here in GOG. I remember how impressed I was with the immersion and how incredible and unique was the experience i had the fist time i played this game back in 2010. This game was sitting in my wish list and it have been sitting there for long time. Even though i wanted so much to play it again, the graphics you can see in the pictures in the game page were my main hold back. Then I figured out i could mod this game. So i went to take a look to the available ones. There are so many mods available out there not only to improve the graphics but also to tweak the gameplay if you feel you need to adjust something (like the archery rework) but also to fix bugs (there is a huge 4gb patch available out there all you need is to google for it). Long story short, I installed the mods that improve the graphics, bug fixes and couple of tweaks of the gameplay and i am IMMENSLY enjoying this game. The immersion is insane, the dialogs between the characters are so interesting and funny, your choices matter, you have multiple way to approach your enemies and your character builds. One playthrough is not going to be enough to experience all the content this game has to offer. The gameplay is really good. Every battle isstrategic and you can pull off insane combination of spells and attacks. You can leverage the environment at your advantage (not for the interactivity but for example you can funnel large number of enemies into a narrow path and fill the narrow corridor of magical or physicals traps and bombs while your mage channel a fireball to the stunned enemies and your rogue sneaks behind the enemy mage), The story also is very interesting and cool and i am looking forward to play the game again to slaughter every character i can kill and find out how much i can mess up the whole plot. 10/10

the game is alright though not fantastic, but it crashes constantly
