“Love the characters, the setting. The game is still enjoyable after years of its release. I love origins the most and inquisition comes second.”
“I want to like this game. From what I can play, it's fun. The story is interesting. The dialogue and combat is good. That said, the game refuses to start up past a certain point. When I look it up, this is an expected…”

“Fifteen years ago, when I played Dragon Age for the first time, I felt like it was one of the best cRPGs I had ever played. Today, I can safely say that I simply hadn’t seen much of the world back then. Don’t get me…”

“Possibly the best RPG ever made. I keep finding myself coming back to it and having fun every time! It does have some problems with crashes, but there are options on the internet to solve them.”
“Dragon Age Origins was a wonderful part of my childhood and it's thrilling to replay it, but there needs to be an official patch to stop it from crashing. I would be tremendously upset if I paid full price for this…”
“One of my favorite games of all time, when Bioware's writing was still top notch and they still believed in actual RPG mechanics. The fact that you have several different options for how the storyline plays out from the…”

“It's hands down a top 5 RPG of all time. The companions, the story, the music, it's all perfect. The combat can be a bit tedious at times in some areas, but the rest of the game more than makes up for it.”
“The greatest RPG of the last 30 years, together with The Witcher 3 and Baldur's Gate 3. Top tier characters and stories, an insane OST by Inon Zur, and incredible freedom of choice. You can be genuinely evil if you want…”

“Definitely worth your time and money. Tho sadly had been so heavily abandoned that it is difficult to run without crashing. Story is fantastic, the visuals are good or great for when the game was released I think, and…”
“After being stuck in my backlogs, I finally gave it a go. For a game that released 16 years ago it truly is nostalgic. The game is beautiful for its time and you can't help but commend the combat mechanics, its not your…”

“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…”

From the well written story and dark universe to the tactical combat and memorable companions it is a game that stays with you forever. Worth to replay it with every race/class at least once. Again. one of my favorites from my favorite period…”
— a player, Steam review · 346 hrs played“One of the greatest RPGs PERIOD. Is completely busted on modern hardware. EA shouldn't be allowed to sell a broken product like this. Even with fixes the crashes aren't fully fixed.”
