The traditional formula of creating a character, becoming a hero and saving the day is nothing new to BioWare. After all, this is the company that introduced classic role-playing game experiences to gamers everywhere with titles including Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. For Dragon Age: Origins, BioWare fleshed out its customary design by including radically different characters with unique backgrounds for gamers to experience. The result is that Dragon Age dwarfs other role-playing games in size and scale, and weaves in mature themes amidst a backdrop of chaos and destruction. The plot of Dragon Age is extremely rich with details that unfold over dozens of hours of play. Dragon Age provides a ton of customization without a level cap, so it's possible to take two characters with the exact same background and develop them in completely different ways. Incredibly deep and expansive, Dragon Age: Origins is one of those titles that can easily swallow up dozens of hours of play and keep you coming back for more.

This has to be one of, if not the best game I've ever played. There's so much gameplay about 40 hours+ depending on how much side quests you do. The story is fantastically written and the voicing of the characters is very good. There's a wide variety of ways to play the game, not just by choosing the class to play but how you complete quests. For example there's a quest that has 3 different outcomes. I'd recommend this game to everyone that enjoyed playing the Mass Effect games.

I usually don't play RPG's and I bought this game with no real expectations. A friend of mine recommended it and said he thought I'd like it - and he was right! Despite me being quite new to RPG's I got into the game very quickly. The story is great (being able to choose your own character and background is real fun!) and I love the fact that each decision you make in the game really effects the outcome! It is probably one of the most addictive games I've played! A must have, even if you're not a hardcore RPG fan.

Dragon age is an awesome RPG placed on medieval times, with lots of sword fights and magic. It allows you to chose between three main races, human, elf and dwarf, and the same amount of classes, warrior, mage or rogue. Each of these choices makes your game different and the way other characters throughout the story interact with you. For example, an human warrior may be respected but an elf may be looked at with despised by that same character. The game includes a total of 6 origins (6 different starting stories) and 4 different endings. The darkspawn (your enemy, the biggest evil on earth) pose a threat once more after the last Blight, the last battle where a Grey Warden killed the archdemon and defeated the darkspawn. Now, you are to become one of the Grey Wardens as the new Blight aproaches and learn about the ways of the Wardens in order to kill the new archdemon. No matter the origin you chose, you'll always end up being a Grey Warden, but that doesn't mean you have to play as a little angel on earth. Your choices may cause many unpredictable actions and you can always chose to kill instead of sparing lives, and with every action you take you're always certain to make someone like you more and probably make someone else hate you even harder. There are many characters you can recruit during the story to join your cause and you can lead them into battle. Your party can have 4 characters at the same time and you can comand each one of them separately or all of them at the same time. You can also define strategies for the upcoming battles, and decide wheter the other party members will support you, strike all at the same enemy, heal the other party members etc. Last but not least, as in every decent RPG your character reaches new levels as you complete more and more missions allowing you to get new powers and abilities to use in or out of battle, as well as the gathering of lots and lots of loot from boxes, treasures or just from the corpses of your dead foes. All of this loot can be used to improve your party's chances in battles, settle up new armor on your character or just to be sold or traded for better weapons or armor. An absolutely awesome game, aclaimed by the critics, with a story mode with around 100hours of gameplaying if explored efficientely. And you'll surelly want to start all over again right after you finish it the first time. A must buy.

A spectacular game that makes us cling to the screen day and night! Their ways of battle and how to create your character and you can customize it make this game one of the best if not the best RPG game I ever played! I recommend to all the addictive game! Tou at work and just want to return home to play Dragon Age simply the BEST!

I can't stop playing this little classic. After one hour you will be drawn in completely. Trust me!
