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 encounter with Morrigan to meeting Leliana and the rest of the companions you immediately realize that every character carries real weight in this world. Their backstories are so well crafted that you genuinely care about seeing how they will confront their personal enemies and struggles. You aren't just traveling with NPCs you are traveling with deeply written companions. The gameplay is solid for a classic RPG. The mechanics are deep understandable and not frustratingly complicated. The leveling and character progression system is perfectly balanced and satisfying. If you compare this older title to the recent release The Veilguard Origins completely outshines it in every core aspect like writing character depth and player choice. The only area where The Veilguard actually wins is the modern fluidity of its action combat but everywhere else it’s a massive step backward for the franchise. The only downside is the graphics which naturally look outdated by today's standards. But the story is so gripping and the characters are so well written that this visual flaw didn't negatively impact my experience at all. I was so deeply immersed in the world that I completely forgot about the graphics and simply enjoyed every single moment. It is an unforgettable experience and a must-play for anyone who wants to see what a true RPG looks like. Rating: 9/10
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 masterpiece of an RPG and one of the best (and now my favorite) games I have played. The story and overall narrative is extremely engaging, and the game has some of my favorite companions in an RPG that I have played. The writing and dialogue is so good, witty and entertaining that it was a joy to just sit and listen to my companions banter between themselves, as well as speak to them and get to know them better. The gameplay is really fun and fairly unique compared to most RPGs I have played, as I feel it is a really good mix in between turn based party gameplay and non turn based party gameplay. When I originally started the game, I was not sold on it, but it got better as it went on. The depth of character skill trees, abilities and classes, while not up to the same standard as some modern RPGs, is so good, especially when you consider this is (relatively) an older game. The world of Fereldon is so interesting with the different races, and the overall story quest that involved exploring this world and stopping the Blight had me engaged from the start to the finish. The music is also very good as well. While the overall story and narrative is excellent, the biggest praise I can give the is the characters, the writing and the dialogue, which all tie together. The main group of companions may be my favorite in an RPG I have ever played. I adore both Alistar and Morrigan as characters, and the banter between themselves was so good. Leliana is a great character to, and while I romanced Morrigan because I think her character is just more interesting, she is such a good character too, as to is Sten and everyone else. It was hard to pick a main party as there were just so many companions I wanted in my party at the same time. It made it very hard to pick my other 3 companions to accompany me, but I mainly had Morrigan, Leliana and Alistar, as well as Sten at times, as those where my favorite, but the rest of them were awesome as well and when I do a future playthrough I will use them more. I think the writing and dialogue may also be my favorite in any game I have played. This ties to the overall story and narrative; the story is so interesting because the writing is so good. It was so much fun to interact not just with my party members or even other main characters, but random NPCs because you never know what they could say that is interesting. I cannot praise this aspect of the game enough, and I could write so much more about it. The only big issue I really had with the game was that the game just did not work. I was around 2-3 hours in when it started crashing nonstop, and I was tempted to just stop playing the game, but lucky I found the video I linked above and I 100% recommend doing what the video says to make sure you can play the game. Overall, Dragon Age Origins is a masterpiece in my eyes. The story, characters and writing are all top tier, especially the companions, as they are so good. I 100% recommend this game to basically anyone, but especially if you like RPGs, especially CRPGs like BG3 or DOS (those are the only other ones I have played as of now), as this feels like the predecessor to those games. I am looking forward to play some of the future Dragon Age games, but it will be hard to live up to the expectation that Dragon Age Origins has set. I play on playing the Awakening DLC before I hope into DA2, as well as maybe doing one of the other DLCs I did not do (I only did Morrigan's DLC at this point). This game is a masterpiece, and you should 100% play it. 10/10
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. First, if you're playing the Steam version, you must be aware of a long-standing issue that can prevent the DLC content from appearing correctly, even though it's included with the Ultimate Edition. I highly recommend following this guide below before starting your playthrough to ensure all extra content is properly working as intended. DLC Fix Guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2104780823 Unfortunately, the PC version of the game suffers from VARIOUS technical issues. Some bugs can affect quests, stability, combat, and more. Lucky us, the modding community has spent years fixing many of these problems, and there are now excellent guides that make the process much easier than it sounds. With a handful of essential fixes and quality-of-life improvements, DAOrigins transforms from an aging classic into a genuinely fantastic RPG experience. I strongly recommend playing on PC rather than console because of the extensive modding scene. Recommended mod guide video: https://youtu.be/aeTkPTkGInE?si=k6r92rDIpJPkTddA Recommended mod guide list: https://www.sinitargaming.com/dao.html The combat system offers a satisfying blend of tactical planning and traditional RPG character building. While it may feel slow to players accustomed to modern action RPGs, those who like party management, positioning, and strategic encounters will find a lot to enjoy here. The main plot itself is relatively straightforward: unite the nations of Ferelden and stop a world-ending threat. However, what elevates the experience is the worldbuilding. The lore of Thedas is rich and interesting without becoming overwhelming. For players who want to explore fantasy RPGs but are intimidated by complicated lore, DAOrigins serves as a good entry point. There is plenty of depth for those who seek it, yet the game introduces its world in a way that remains accessible. Another important thing to be mentioned it's the game's promotional and bonus content. Back when DAOrigins launched, several exclusive items were distributed through pre-order bonuses, retailer promotions, collector's editions, and other limited-time offers. Many of these items are not found on the Steam version, but the community has preserved ways to restore them. Download those extras here: https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Downloadable_content_(Origins) In my opinion, despite its technical shortcomings, Dragon Age: Origins remains one of the most enjoyable fantasy RPGs ever created. With the right mods installed, it's easy to see why so many players still consider this a great game. The Veilguard wish it was this good. Score: 9/10 Purchased with a 90% discount. Tip for those who decided to buy/play: While there isn’t a strict order for all of the DLCs, this is the progression I personally recommend. During the main campaign, play "The Stone Prisoner" early as possible (after Lothering), tackle "Warden’s Keep" around the middle of the story, and save "Return to Ostagar" for the late game. "Leliana’s Song" and "A Tale of Orzammar" are both prequels and can be played at any time without affecting the main story, though I recommend playing Leliana’s Song after learning about Leliana’s past and A Tale of Orzammar before beginning the mission "A Paragon of Her Kind" (or even before starting Origins if you’re playing a dwarf origin). After completing the main campaign, the canonical order is "Awakening", "Golems of Amgarrak", and finally "Witch Hunt", especially if you plan to import your character throughout the expansions. "The Darkspawn Chronicles" is a non-canon alternate timeline, so I’d save it for last, as it contains major spoilers for the main story.
