This game is so beautiful but so, so stupid. Absolute dumpster fire. I hate it here. I love it here. I love running around with my little guys in the dark dank caves of Thedas and then one of them opens their mouth to say something inflammatory and I suddenly remember this game was written by a bunch of gibbons.

Not quite as punchy as the first story-wise, but has a lot of improvements over the first game and is still a very good entry in the franchise that expands upon the world and lore of the first game ... Isn't that wild for a sequel to do hahaha :)

I love to think about playing Origins and I love to have played Origins, but actually playing Origins? It's rough. It's aged both well and very poorly. 10/10 would recommend.
