Bioware has quite a résumé as an RPG developer. They have released blockbuster after blockbuster, but it's been several years since Bioware built an RPG around the Dungeons & Dragons PC style of the genre – a style which they themselves set standards for with the Baldur's Gate series.

As gamers, we are always looking for the best possible deal when it comes to how we spend our hard earned cash. We deserve a product that is not only enjoyable but worth every penny we pay for it.

BioWare delivers yet again. Evil beings have an excuse, they only know the darkness, but […]

+ Deep combat; + Outstanding story; + Huge scope

Environments are meh; Uneven difficulty; Not enough potions

I believe 2009 to be one of worst years for PC gaming in a long time. While console gamers have fared better, PC gamers have had to put up with one poorly executed console port after another. Is there no hope? Where is our knight in shining armor? Look there! On the horizon!

I played this years ago (several times), and in waiting for the next DA to come out, I ordered this and played it again. Just a helpful note: The Key enclosed with the physical DVD does not work when you type it in. You have to go online to Origin and validate it there.

This is without a doubt Bioware's best RPG since Baldur's Gate II. I spent many nights playing until 6:30 AM without even realising because I was so into the plot. The story is fantastic, graphics are stunning, combat is entertaining, and you'll fall in love with the NPCs.

Dragon Age: Origins The Story The story is set in the fictional realm of Ferelden, a dark, high-fantasy setting. The land is haunted by horrific monsters called the Darkspawn, who plague the underground, and who every so often rise up in what is known as a 'Blight' to wipe out every living thing in...

Great story; great characters; morality system is innovative

Combat is bad
