Dragon Age: Origins is one of those classic RPGs that sticks with you. The story's epic, your companions are unforgettable, and the choices you make actually feel like they matter. The combat can get a bit clunky, and the graphics definitely show their age, but if you love a rich fantasy world, complex characters, and building up your own Grey Warden, this is absolutely a must-play.
"The first time I played it, I was around 14 I think, so when I found out about the Dragon Age 4 reveal as an adult, I decided to replay all three games. I tell you, as an adult I have much more appreciation for the game. Just because the graphics are outdated and some of the lesser important characters have shitty voice acting means nothing to me now. I also don’t hate the combat system anymore and realize just how much depth and story is there is to this game."

Negativos:
- Jogabilidade não envelheceu bem;
- Apesar de poucos, há bugs de parar o jogo e impedir o progresso em certas partes;
- Curva de dificuldade inconsistente (principalmente em batalhas encontradas nas missões principais, mesmo que você esteja bem preparado para tais);
- Péssima IAs dos companheiros.
Positivos:
- Variada possibilidade de cenários iniciais para personagens criados;
- História, mundo e personagens ótimos;
- Boas DLCs.
Listei poucos pontos positivos em relação aos negativos, mas deve se levar em conta que é um jogo da Bioware e tais pontos positivos são os fortes das produções da desenvolvedora. E como visto na maravilhosa trilogia Mass Effect, isso é o suficiente para dar uma chance mesmo anos depois do lançamento do jogo, apesar dos problemas que se possa encontrar.

Одна из самых моих любимых игр, проходила несколько раз подряд. Каждый раз играя разные роли главных героев. Вариативность финалов и исходов позволяет вам играть в нее снова и снова.
Из минусов, плохая русская озвучка, но тут уже вопросы не к игроделам. Немного непривычный для меня система боя, но я привыкла и стала мастером.

WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS
- The interaction with companions; their missions, conversations, the way they really feel like companions and not like burdens or shields.
- The lore in general. It is intriguing to know the motivations of the glooms, why there are dragons, what happened in the previous ruins, what is the origin of the races, what is beyond Ferelden.
- Build your character. From the personality that you give him in the dialogue options, such as class, race, specializations, skills, etc. It takes time to do your
"Definitive character," but in the end you feel it's worth it.
- The epic of the story. After all, how many times is one the hero destined to save the world?
- There are enough decisions that affect the story. As simple as killing or not killing someone, helping a certain group, turning one of your companions into a king or even taking the throne yourself; all this greatly influences immersion.
- The tactics. Although at first it may seem complicated, once you give yourself the time to understand them you will see how it rewards. Seeing how your group works perfectly is very satisfying.
- The initial stories. They are perfect, they add a lot to the role-playing section and gives it a lot of replay value.
The reason I like it so much lies in his charisma, his attention to detail, his setting and the deep way in which his world can connect with you.
If you like RPGs and fantasy then I highly recommend it. What if you've never played an RPG? Then you can watch a gameplay to see if it would be something you would like or not.
Dragon Age: Origins is an incredible video game, and once you finish it you want to lose your memory just to be able to enjoy this adventure again. Since knowing a story like that of Ferelden's Hero is something that rarely happens.

No rating yet. I hated this game for the longest time due to its sluggish combat. Finally, after over five attempts, I completed the introduction with the Mage class and I began to really see why people love DAO. Unfortunately due to other game releases, I left it behind, though I plan to finish it later.
My favorite of the Dragon Age games and one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Especially for the time, it offered unparalleled depth and choice for an RPG, all in a package that was complex yet accessible for newcomers to the genre. The first time I romanced an NPC and greatly enjoyed the experience.
