The epic inaugural entry in the sprawling fantasy franchise. Dragon Age Origins sets the stage for a world of heroes and myth, supported by inventive and well developed cultures and politics. The world building at work in this game is worthy of heaps of praise, and quickly draws you deep into the fight for the fate of Ferelden.

The combat and UI feel dated by modern standards, but can be helped along by an avid mod community that helps to round out some of the rougher edges.
