Dragon Age: Origins feels like a real throwback to the good old days of PC role-playing epics. It also feels like exactly what you expect the makers of Baldur’s Gate to come up with as a follow-up to that classic. While that means you could rightfully fault the game for not being especially innovative, it’s this adherence to a classic style of gameplay that will ensure that it’s welcomed by the legions of nostalgic RPG players that make up this genre’s core audience. That said, this is definitely not the game for those frightened of the idea of micromanaging a game to the point where a large portion of it will be spent in a pause screen. However, as the sort of guy that has lovingly played an Infinity Engine game at least once every year for the past decade, I can think of no higher praise for this throwback than to say that Dragon Age: Origins leaves me feeling fairly confident I won’t need to dig out the classics for this ritual next year.

The sheer presentation of this game makes it epic in every way possible. Folks, this is one of the sleeper hits for this holiday season. The value of a title like this exceeds the asking price, as $59.99 simply doesn’t do it justice. Back in the 90s, this would have been a $74.95 cartridge on the N-64. For a game that wasn’t even half over at the 20-hour mark, you’re looking at a tremendous amount of gameplay that doesn’t get boring. Excuse the loading time and it’s a perfect game. Added to this value is the addition of two DLC quests with the game (they are included) and instantly you need this.

The story isn’t just composed as an epic fantasy – it is also an elaborate tale of cities ravaged by the blight, but also political turmoil, corruption, race and classism, and all around distrust of each other. One play-through does not suffice to get the full experience. There are alternate endings, and then there are alternate stories. Dragon Age is the latter. It will seem like there are an endless amount of opportunities to make important decisions when playing the game.

That’s because Dragon Age doesn’t make you feel like a scumbag for acting less than chivalrous. For every problem there are several solutions, each with their own set of pros and cons – and deciding the best course of action is great fun. Had we chosen a different race and background, we would have experienced a completely different introduction to Dragon Age’s world. There are six origin stories in total, all unique and equally compelling.

BioWare has plans for a year worth of downloadable content for Dragon Age, meaning the game is nearly endless. Chances are you won’t need any DLC for a while, as the Blu-ray disc comes with more than 40 hours of gameplay, which you can further extend by undertaking side quests. Fantasy RPG fans will love Dragon Age for its sheer size; we love it because it has so much to offer. This is a game you can really sink your teeth into. Despite its graphical flaws, the game is well polished with a captivating storyline, intriguing characters, and intense combat. Overall, Dragon Age: Origins is a must have for any fantasy RPG fan, and we can’t wait to see what BioWare has in store for DLC over the next year.

It’s clear that Dragon Age: Origins was built with the PC in mind but regardless of that fact, a fantastic story, great cast of characters and expansive world still make this an incredible experience. Those who have a computer and want more depth in their role playing games should most certainly grab the PC version. For those who just want to get into a bloody battle and spend a long period of time enjoying it, they will most certainly not be disappointed.

You’ll spend close to sixty hours in this realm on your first time through, if you’re like me and can’t leave a stone unturned, but that still won’t be enough. You’ll keep coming back for more, and with the promise of downloadable content you’ll be picking up your sword or staff once again soon enough. This is the kind of game that will keep you enraptured from start to finish, playing through the wee hours of the morning or standing around work saying “Man, all I can think about is Dragon Age.”

There is so much more to Dragon Age: Origins I just don’t have room to explain here. Simply know that there are tons of weapons and loot to find, craft, and coat with poison, thousands of quests to take on, storekeepers to intimidate, and NPCs to persuade. If you’re a Western-style, fantasy RPG nut, you simply can’t go wrong with Dragon Age: Origins. BioWare has outdone itself once again – they’ve created an RPG masterpiece that more than rivals its competitors, even if it loses its tactical luster in translation to consoles.

On the whole Dragon Ages: Origins is magnificent and will continue to evolve as BioWare promise new quests and missions, with some already being made available for purchase. There is plenty to enjoy in the retail version but we can only hope that the good work is built upon with expansions and new adventures for us to discover. Despite our criticism this still remains the best RPG of 2009 and one of the best weve played in several years.

Tossing a fireball into a crowded melee is entertaining, but it represents the biggest problem with this incarnation of Dragon Age. The action-focused, low-pressure encounters are fun, but they rarely force you to truly test your skills. Though you’ll mow down hundreds of darkspawn and thugs, you’ll rarely feel the satisfaction that comes with a hard-won victory. Even the spoils of battle are a pain, since cramped inventory is a pervasive problem, and the only way to truly solve it is to shell out seven dollars for the Warden’s Keep DLC, adding a sorely needed storage chest for your excess items. This feature is a genre standard that should have been in the core package, and holding it back to make players buy it on launch day is pathetic.

The bottom line is that for all its promise and potential, Dragon Age: Origins is a game that never comes together to be anything but a mediocre game with an interesting premise and a lot of issues. As the start of a new role-playing franchise there is a lot to like about the world as a backdrop for future stories, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done to firm up the core concepts and feel of the action to make it work as a game. Those with only a casual interest in role-playing games are likely to find it very difficult to get past the shortcomings while those with passion for the genre are likely to find more disappointment in what could of, and really should have, been.

The automatic combat does a better job of keeping your party alive, but you have a serious lack of input once things get going. If I wanted to just sit back and watch, there are plenty of movies on my shelf that I haven’t sat through yet, and with those, I’d be getting a much prettier picture. Hell, I’d even settle for watching someone play a better-looking video game! Even for the laziest of adventurers, this just isn’t an option.
