Dragon Age: Origins

I stumbled upon Dragon Age: Origins with no knowledge of it at all. After playing for a few hours I was gripped by the compelling story lines and the VAST amount of depth.

At first I was taken back by the combat system. Combining real-time action with micro-management on the fly is truly brilliant. Once I got into the swing of things, I found myself strategically placing my ranged characters at a distance, while my rogue set traps at a doorway and my warrior lured enemies into an ambush. This game makes you think! Hack'n'slash'n'button bashing just doesn't cut it with Dragon Age. You must plan every single attack carefully, for the greatest effect. I'm over 100 hours in and I've barely even scratched the surface.

With the massively extensive customizability and official downloadable content, this game is going to be hanging around for a long, long time. Game developers owe a lot to the modding community for keeping their games shining, long after they're released. We can be sure set for some great mods and new quests to keep us glued to our screens for many months/years to come.

A must buy for any RPG fan. 10/10

I don't know why the score for Dragon age has been dropping the last couple of weeks because it is a brilliant game. The amount of things you can do is just amazing,you'll need to play the games at least eight times (which i have) to do half of the possible things in the game. the companions that you travel with are all unique with their own back stories. and personal quests that are emotional and tell us more about their characters. the romance system is also awesome and shows us a more human side of the game. The choices are brilliant and question are morals and what we believe is right. The story is fantastic, it is classic fantasy with a dark evil god coming to destroy everything, it does this in a way that makes you think it is the first time you are experiencing it. This is my favorite game of all time because of the choices game play and characters. Also the epic emotional story that makes you want to keep playing again and again. Now Finally i will talk about what makes this game amazing. the origin Stories. you get to pick your back story which all are emotional and show loss and sacrifice. I Recommend this game and think it is a brilliant, fantastic experience.

Amazing! Diverse and unique locations, full customization of your entire squad, extensive dungeons with creative designs and enemies, an engaging story plot, companions with complex personalities and real weight in the story, and TONS of loot!

It's hard to deny it, but once you really get into the game... you're hooked. Bioware has always been great at making Roleplaying games and this one is no exception.

The first thing that i found to be really awesome were the number of different ways to start off the game (Depending on your race, origin and class). Even though you only get a handful of unique missions before you end up at Ostagar, where the story eventually goes on in the same direction with all classes, every play-through still feels unique with each new character. This is a great concept and I'd like to see more games like this.

I've never been very fond of the battle system in most RPG games, but this game was so good that it didn't bother me.

The graphics are great, the visual and sound effects really add to the epic feeling you get when you see the bigger battles in the game.

The Voice-over work is awesome, but I expected nothing less from Bioware.

I gave this game a 10, just because when i finished it for the first time. I just sat there... and smiled.

This is one of the most in-depth games i have ever played its fun and very emersive.I have spent a total of 109 hours on it i just cant stop playing it!The story is also very good with a massive amount of extra content to find and read each statue each book each sign and quest has another piece of information to add to your codex i have spent at least 10 hours reading things from the codex and other things,the amount of armor and weapons is ridiculous each type of wep and armor has Tiers 1-9 plus the wickedly powerful special versions of the three melee weapon types and 2 ranged types they are usually much different looking compared to the normal weapons unlike for example TES:oblivion specials its also the same with the armor.I have tried all 6 origin stories on this game and have found myself liking all of them equally i enjoy how every character treats you differently depending on your race and origin.The game play is very well done its fun it take time to master and you need to use the pause and play tactic even on the console version even though there is no friendly fire unless you play it on hard or nightmare but its still needed.I finished this game with tears in my eyes and immediately starting a new save i heavily suggest this game to anyone who is looking for a fun,addicting and heart twisting thrill ride this is one of the best games of the year 10/10
