Dragon Age: Origins is the first entry in the Dragon Age series, which was intended to serve as a spiritual successor to BioWare's older RPG franchises: Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights.

+1 Sub. That was a thorough extensive review on one of my Favorite Classic RPGs. Dragon Age: Origins is hands down the best in the series... ask anyone. Good job, you're edits were hilarious 😂 and you covered just about every fine detail of the game without spoiling the main plot points so I can recommend this to my friend who hasn't played Dragon Age yet (:)). Thanks for covering this Game, it's trully one of my Favorites and again, as you said the Story is where the game really shines. It also is clearly HEAVILY inspired by Lord of The Rings and Game of Thrones, they all have interesting Parallels both in terms of Story, Plot points, and Characters. In all honesty Dragon Age Origins had the Ending Game of Thrones Deserved (:"/) RIP

Very nice, very fair and balanced review of what I regard as one of the best titles in videogaming history. One advantage of the PC version is that the majority ((but obviously not all) of the issues mentioned within the review can be fixed by mods. The DA Annoyance Remover gets rid of the visuals for those sustained effects plus the annoying audio that goes with some of them, the high res texture pack makes the visuals far more appealing, the Sweet FX presets help with the the lighting, shadows and atmosphere, NPC overhauls get rid of some of the problem of similar, generic NPCs. The Respec Mod allows full customisation of party members so you don't have to stick with the unoptimised builds implemented by Bioware - and that's just a few of them. Origins still has a very lively and active modding community.

That was such a fun and well made video, you definitely deserve recognition for!

Keep it up, you're doing a really good job!

Its just a side note without any big spoilers: All three DLCs, Golems of Amgarack, Lelianas Song and Witch Hunt, were both lore set ups for the book / comics tie in aswell for the later games. Its clear for those who only played one of the game or doesnt know the books & comics to miss those / not know about it. DAO set the foundation for the greater DA universe and lore, its naturel that those who are only interested in the game would miss out on it. As an example without much spoilers: - The church woman in Leliana songs who save her, becomes realy important later on. - The plot aswell as the boss of the GoA play a huge role later in DA2 aswell in the books - Witch Hunt sets up both the books before and part of the later main plot of DA3

As soon as I played the human Noble knew I was going to love it due to the fact that you can create your own character and you have options not to mention that you don't have to follow certain steps... Dragon age is one of my top favorite games and dragon age origins is my favorite out of the franchise so far... This is how good this game is that even though it does have flaws it's still a masterpiece and it will be so badass to remaster this game like they did with deep-space... Remaster deep space and the last of us as well as resident evil 4... All those games are classics and masterpieces as well and look how great you turned out even the Mass effect franchise which is also one of my favorite game... Dragon age 2 is a game that I did like but it's not as good as the first one and dragon age inquisition is it good game as well probably I'll put that in my second favorite game the franchise but I hate the level part but if we would have fixed that that game will be so much better than it is...

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be a universal occurrence, and a hardware issue could be at play. The 4GB patch seems to fix it for most people, but I've read that limiting the game to run on a single CPU core also helped some people.

That comment is so strange. You know, some gamers was asking to remaster or remake old games from another era, like Secret of Mana or Final Fantasy 7 in the 90's. That's very understandable. But asking a remake for a 2009 game that still feel fresh and new with HD graphic, the game was in 720p and you can play it in 1920x1080p. There is voices acting. I mean there is no reason to remaster that game, it does sound so absurd to me, because it is.
