Unplayeble as of 2026. Constant crashes on loading. If you do manage to load there are lots of texture issues. Get it on GOG or hoist the colors. edit: I used the 4 GB patch, DXVK fix and put graphics to low. Still crashing.

Recommended, but only if you're willing to mod it. Dragon Age: Origins is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and despite being released in 2009, it still holds up kinda well today. The story is engaging, companions are memorable, voice acting remains excellent, combat is fun, and the soundtrack is really good, featuring several memorable themes that are instantly recognizable to DA fans. That said, I cannot …

A timeless masterpiece that shows how far the gaming industry has fallen. Despite being an older game Dragon Age Origins provided me with an incredible experience. Playing this classic today really opens your eyes to a harsh reality showing you exactly how much the gaming industry has declined and how modern RPGs lost their true soul. The best part of this game is the writing and the characters. From that very first …

A game so good that it will make you redefine what a good RPG is. It stands out because of its companions, story, and meaningful decisions. It is probably one of, if not the best RPG of all time. Unfortunately, the PC release is totally broken it crashes every 20 minutes. But it was so good that I took on the daunting task anyway. Also, the gameplay gets old by the halfway point.

Before I do my review, it is important to note that the game does not really work if you do not mod it, as EA decided to port the game over as it was and it does not run on modern systems. I will link the Youtube video I used to fix the problems the game has, as since I did those changes and copied the same settings, I never had problems again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_qBFeyWR5Q Dragon Age Origins is a …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Dragon Age: Origins received critical acclaim from major video game critics upon its release. While the game is considered to be virtually identical across all platforms, differences in user interface, graphical performance, and online content delivery have led the PC version to be reviewed more favorably than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions; Metacritic ranks the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game with scores of 91, 87, and 86, respectively. ' The game's setting was well received by critics. Dave Snider from Giant Bomb thought that the setting felt traditional due to the presence of dwarves and elves, but that the world was beautifully executed. He also appreciated…

positive · AI labelView post →Farewell, BioWare: The End of an RPG Giant. Really sad to hear that BioWare is closing its doors after 31 years. I can't say it's entirely surprising given how difficult the last decade has been for the studio, but it's still a shame to see another enormously influential name disappear from the industry. This was the developer behind *Neverwinter Nights*, *Knights of the Old Republic*, *Dragon Age: Origins* and *Mass Effect 2*, among so many others. What an incredible run of games they had :(…
neutral · AI labelView post →Crushing news about BioWare. The Mass Effect Trilogy as a unit is cemented in my personal top games of all time. Still working my way through Dragon Age and KOTOR. So many talented artists joining the jobless video game devs. So much material getting locked away in EA jail, likely forever.

positive · AI labelView post →Also: Dragon Age 2 is an incredible video game that took storytelling swings no one else was even considering in 2011, had one of the best ensembles in any medium, and was a goddamn feat of development that got made in A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. Haters can get bent, Kirkwall 4 life

neutral · AI labelView post →Black Ops 6 directly continued the story from 3. There were 9 years between those games. Dragon Age Veilguard had to be about two Thanoses that spawned from nowhere instead of the fucking actual game they spent a decade saying they were making.
negative · AI labelView post →Recommended, but only if you're willing to mod it. Dragon Age: Origins is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and despite being released in 2009, it still holds up kinda well today. The story is engaging, companions are memorable, voice acting remains excellent, combat is fun, and the soundtrack is really good, featuring several memorable themes that are instantly recognizable to DA fans. That said, I cannot honestly recommend buying this game and playing it completely vanilla in 2026.…
