Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition

Clearly, the game is well made and enjoyable for those who want what it has to offer. I found the turn-based combat to be cumbersome and difficult to feel competent with. The turn-based nature of the whole paradigm also made it more difficult for me to get involved in the story. (To be fair to Dragon Age, I have this same problem with Baldur's Gate 3, which is obviously NOT a terrible game, so it's more a matter of preference than design). The cut scenes seemed to be too frequent, too long, and too unimportant. It was often that while I was playing I was irritated anytime a cutscene started because I knew that I'd be out of the game for a few minutes. I also found the characters/writing to be unenjoyably anachronistic. They often use rather modern phrases, which feel out of place in the fantasy setting and aren't consistent with their other fantasy-style language that is often used. The inconsistency of theme was difficult to get past.

Gets stuck at 92% and gives me an error code. ''GOG Preservation Program'' lmao

As of last patch GOG added ALL DLCs (yes, even the Collector's Items, even a Tale of Orzammar adventure from PCGAMER). This game is a must buy as it's on 60% off and have EVERY DLCs.

short and brief.... after playing this on ps3...i hate to say it but pc was much much worse for everything ....something about reduced graphics... lower fov...lower everything and tank controls made it absolutely shine like a diamond....its ...ok on pc...and i enjoy other games on pc more than console... but this aint 1 of them...

Graphically it is extremely boring to look at, but I mean it's from 2010 so I'll give it a pass for that. Gameplay is absolutely awful. It has all the negatives of mmo combat. I spent most of the game looking at my phone waiting for combat to finish. The animations are stiff and have no impact and the actual abilities lack any visual flair, so all you see is a vague flash of color. Bad combat gets worse with the absurdly lengthy dungeons. Seriously the dungeons go on and on only to reach an unsatisfying boss that just stands there or, if you're lucky, a conversation. As far as story goes its a pretty standard fantasy tale where you have to stop the evil, totally not orcs, by uniting all the factions. Opinions on the characters, where bioware supposedly shine, are going to be up to you, of course. In my case I was at best annoyed by the main party and at worst wanted them dead. If it weren't for the terrible combat I would say that this is a pretty average rpg that any fan of the genre could enjoy.
