What i can say about this game? WOW! This is what i said after first few hours of gameplay! Really nice, intriguing story. Lot’s of weapons, armors, and characters you can choose from. Non-linear story, which is really fun. At first, when i saw all those trailers with lot’s of blood, i was like yikes.. But when i got this game for Christmas and actually tried it, there is not so much blood in the game. If you look at this game from RPG’ers prisme of seeing, you will get everything you want: you can be a tank, a healer, a mage DPS or a rogue! Not in mood of healing? Just click R2 few times and you already tank who is trying to get aggro from all angry mobs.. Wanna steal something or do a nasty backstab? Click and switch to rogue 
And etc etc..
What else i like about this game, it’s lot’s of answers in the dialogues with NPC. You can take the party of a good guy, who always wants to help.. Or you can take the part where you just beeing harsh with everyone who you meet. But be carefull! Sometimes you can ruin your whole storyline..
Anyway, i really suggest you get this game. As i know, the first wave of buyers ended, so now they made this game a little cheaper and getting you ready for the new expansion, which hopefully will get out on march..
Take a look at some video reviews:
If you want to buy this game right now, from a shop which can be trusted, i suggest you do this on amazon – (click here to buy Dragon Age:Origins). Last time i checked price was 56$ for this game.. Which is very cheap if you consider that you will be playing for more than 100 hours of gameplay!
does it support online?
Brilliant game indeed. There´s a couple of things not in my taste however. One being the “lack of freedom”. I might just be an old nerd but it annoys me a great deal that everything is so tied up in the storyline. There´s simply no option of taking a trip into the wilds to gather herbs, or to “grind” mobs to gain levels.
But it´s a good game. Real nice story and good graphics.
I would recommend anyone to set difficulty to normal+ cause if you don´t then there will be no friendly fire and without friendly fire it´s a quite easy game!
The level-cap without the expansion is 25. I´ve played roughly 60 hours and I am level 15 or 16 now. If you get tired of the constant “bla bla” and you just wanna fight then use the square key to skip the videos
Anyway it´s a good game but there is many things missing in my oppinion. Also be aware that the game often uses the autosave function but apparently that does NOT mean it saves your game ( atleast not every time ;( ).
Thanks for the inspiration. Don´t regret buying the game!
You said, “when I saw all the blood on the commercial I was like YIKES”… hahaha.. Fucking faggot.
Well I have to give this game the exact opposite review. It was an alright RPG for the 90′s linear style but don’t expect to make your own path in the world. Game play was sub-par with not enough options or challenge. This was an easy game to beat in > 20 hours. Disappointed? VERY. If the game was set in a true open world (not worthless loading screens going from zone to zone) I may have had a few nicer things to say about it.
i’ve been looking for an honest game reviewer for RPG genre. thanks! after reading your reviews, i think i’ll try this one next.
hey, when are you going to review the upcoming MMO’s? they look awesome
I’ve been playing DAO steadily since the game came out last year and I think I’ve finally exhausted the disc. The variety of origins you can choose as well as class is versatile and fun. I easily have 500+ hours into this game not including the expansion which was enjoyable but not up to the same level. While this is somewhat reminiscent of certain aspects of the Baldur’s Gate series, I found it didn’t necessarily have the same depth, but it was deep enough for me to play for close to year before I tired of it. I highly recommend this game for those looking for rich character development and relationships with your companions. I was so ecstatic when I found out BioWare was releasing this on the PS3 because their RPGs were usually geared towards PCs and then Xbox. Halleluia!
Cool post bro! JK – lol, hey – what are your thoughts on the wow zygor leveling guide? Thanks!
I give this game a 9/10 I personally LOVED it.. It is one of the best RPG games I’ve ever play. The graphics were amazing.. I’ve put in about 20+ hours (maybe even more, I’m not totally sure) just on the main quest.. I was kinda sad it was so short, but I played it again and didn’t do just the main quest. I did just about every quest there was.. That added alot of time (plus there is downloadable content you can buy on PSN, sure to tuns of added play. Pretty cheap too). Over all, I think it’s a AMAZING game <33 I wanted a little more freedom.. But besides that, loved it!!.. Hope this helped you guys out! ((:
Make sure you buy the ultimate edition now (for awakening and all bonus content)
A completionist (fully exploring/fully talking to everyone/juggling everyone in a romance/etc..) should see 60-70 hours for the ultimate edition.
Cons- lame as crap they advertised wardens keep dlc in game (ue solves but still lamest thing EVER !)
Much better than Dragon Age 2 – which you should only get if you are just batshit about 1.
was an ok game yet verry limited and it was too easy.
