Dragon Age

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2011

Platform For Display: PCVerified Purchase

Dragon Age is a fantastic game. The fantasy world that the game takes place in has a rich and interesting history and lore that fits together well and draws you in. This lore gets fleshed out in conversations with allies and others, books and journals you find along the way, and the various quests and struggles you overcome. There are multiple opening scenes depending on the main character's race, class, ethnicity, or social class of your character. Many of the people of the world will react to you differently depending on those demographics. You can recruit allies along the way to help you. Each has their own personality, your actions affect your relationships with them, and they have pithy banter with each other. Each ally has a side quest they will ask your help with if your relationship with them is good enough. You can even have romantic relationships with one (or more) of the allies. There are numerous side quests that allow you to extend the fun or you can just cut to the chase and pursue the main plotline as you wish.

Different skill trees and spells for each character allow you to customize how you will fight, and your tactics are important. This wide range of options allows for great replayability, and I'm on my third run through. There are four difficulty levels: an easy difficulty level if you don't want to have to micromanage fights and just enjoy the story, normal to get a balance of both story and a few challenging fights, or you can crank it up if you live for the action. One particularly nice feature is that you can change the difficulty level during a game, so you can tailor better to the level of challenge you want without having to completely start over to do it.

One problem with the world is the lack of good guys. It's full of backstabbing politicos, unjust societies, assassins, alcoholics, demon summoners, etc.- and those are the good guys! I often ended up siding with groups or individuals that are deeply flawed and trying to pick the lesser of two evils. For all of the fantastic lore, this world could really use some honorable or likeable factions.

I originally bought the game for X-Box 360, but later bought the PC version. The PC version does not support a game controller, and clicking where you want to go with a mouse can be a little frustrating, but I found the PC version better in all other ways. The PC version has better graphics, better display of information, and easier control of tactics, spells, inventory, crafting, and quest related information. The game runs very smoothly on my laptop, but does cause the computer to heat up significantly more than any other program I have run, and my computer actually shuts down if I play too long at a stretch.

You might have never heard of the title, but this is the best RPG to come out in a long time, period.

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2012

Platform For Display: PCVerified Purchase

Bioware hit a home run with this one. Fantastic gameplay, epic story, and as usual, a captivating cast of companions. Fans of Mass Effect will understand and agree that contributes significantly to the enjoyment of the game.

RPGs are fun because they throw you into a situation where your character begins as a level 1 nothing, and evolves to become the hero of the game. That's the standard for most RPGs, but what Bioware does here is build a cast of characters, "companions" as the game calls it, that become as essential to the story as the protagonist hero "Grey Warden." Sure there are other RPGs with a great supporting case, namely the Final Fantasy series, but no game delivers the backstory, development, and detail for each individual character as DA:O does. The story is captivating, the graphics are good enough, the music is mesmerizing, and the gameplay controls are sublime (PC version). While combat is a lot of fun, a lot of what makes DA:O outstanding is the great dialogue in the conversations with various supporting cast and companions.

Unlike Mass Effect, there is no morality system in this game and you are not really penalized for being extremely good or extremely bad. What those typical Bioware moral decisions impact are your relationship with the companions you happen to have in your group. There are the obviously good and the obviously bad spirited companions, and it is predictable how they will respond to whether you help someone or take threaten to eat their children. A nice twist to the game and much more challenging than just picking the good or bad decisions in dialogue.

About the only drawback I can think of for the game is that the main character has no spoken dialogue. That is what made Mass Effect so much fun, the ability to be heroic, snarky, rude, or sympathetic and to hear it in the main character (well, mostly Femshep but that is another discussion).

I've played a ton of RPGs - all the Elder Scrolls series, all the Final Fantasy series, etc... - DA:O is as good as it gets and well worth the 60+ hours for my first playthrough (and yet the game completion only showed 49%!).

Final rating: 5/5

The "ultimate bundle" is a GREAT GREAT deal. So worth it for such an excellent game.

It's good for the price@899 but you won't be able to install through discs. Just redeem the codes on origin.com and download via origin app.

Although this is an older game it still surprises and is still a challenge. Just when you think you're on top they slip something in to test you. Very satisfying!

To start I would like to thank Amazon for their swift and helpful service. :D

Alright just so we are clear I am not a big gamer so finding a game that I really enjoy is harder to come by. I like a game that has more to it than hacking and slashing; utilizing a storyline and characters to create an well rounded game.

DA:Origins places the player in the shoes of a protagonist of their choosing, extending beyond just the physical appearance and racial background of the character. There are six different openings to the game based on the origin chosen by the player. Each choice changes the way other characters interact with you and even provide different interactions for the player based on the relationship status.

There is a main quest that is interesting and has the opportunity to be different to each player based on your choices along the way. There are also many side quests to keep you busy if you are easily sidetracked by that sort of thing.

Another interesting feature within the game are the Codex Pages. These are descriptions of companions, weapons, histories, places, religions and even intercepted love notes that can be found along the way. They give the game a level of depth and I can appreciate all the effort that went in to creating the world of DA:Origins.

The graphics are a little behind since the game came out in 2009 but are still phenomenal for their realistic quality.

As to the additional content I know the date is expired but I gave it a shot and the content still downloaded for me. (You never know right?) many other reviews said they couldn't get the content but I urge you to try anyways and see where it gets you. In the end it is still a great product for the price you pay.

I have currently completed all the downloadable content and one origin and am working on my second trying out new choices and different approaches to all the quests.

Definetly worth the buy in my unprofessional opinion. Hopefully this will help someone in their descion.

DLC入りで値段が安かったため購入。
まだ序盤のほうしかプレイしてないので
そこまでプレイしてでの感想。
インストールできないという声もいくつかあるが
自分の場合これを購入してインストールしても問題なし
ただDLC利用するための会員登録が少し面倒だった

近頃のRPGによくある複雑な操作はなく
どっちかいうと戦闘はネットゲームに近い形
あらかじめセットしていた技をクリックするだけで
即発動できるほか　WASD操作もできるため
PCでやると楽という印象がある
難易度によってはできないけど戦闘中ポーズをかけることで
次のターゲットを選んだり現状を把握できたりできるので
リアルタイム戦闘が苦手な方でもプレイ可能。
グラフィックも文句がないほど良い（ただしPCスペックにより個人差あり）
ただこのゲームの売りのひとつは会話であり
選択肢も5つや6つと複数なことが多いため
英語が苦手な人には日本語化できる環境がない人にとっては
このゲームはつまらないものとなる
またその会話システムでプレイ時間が長くなるのが確実になるため
時間にあまり余裕がない人にとっては苦痛を感じる場合もある
逆にストーリーを楽しめる人にとっては楽しめると思われる。
