"This was the addition to Dragon Age: Origins I'd been waiting for - concluding the relationship between my Grey Warden and Morrigan, the witch with the grubby side-boob. Unfortunately, Witch Hunt suffers from a dull start, tedious fetch quests and a very unsatisfying ending."
"With Dragon Age 2 coming early next year BioWare is releasing one of their last add-ons for the original Dragon Age which should give gamers a little bit of closure for the Dragon Age: Origins storyline.
At the end of Dragon Age: Origins players were told “Never follow me” and soon after Morrigan disappears without a trace, from there it seemed that this was the end of the hero’s relationship with her. In Awakening there was really no mention of her or the hero’s idea of pursuit, but there..."
"After the release of Leliana’s Song, one of the best Dragon Age add-ons released to date, BioWare tries to recreate the same success with this golem filled addition.
Golems of Amgarrak will take players on an adventure to help Jerrik Dace, a dwarf in need to help finding his brother, Brogan, who was part of an exploration team that was attempting to revive the lost art of creating golems. Soon after the exploration began the entire team disappears and Jerrik soon requests help from the gam..."
"To give fans of the Dragon Age series a little more backstory Bioware has released a new downloadable side story detailing how everyone’s favorite bard made her way to the Chantry. (Morrigan disapproves -10)
Leliana’s Song tells the story of the bard, Leliana, in her last mission before she joined the Chantry. Working with her mentor, Marjolaine, in Ferelden a young Leliana begins her mission causing minor trouble in the city of Denerim with the help of her two companions Sketch, the apost..."
One of the best games last year, Dragon Age: Origins continues to supply more story-oriented quests via DLC, with the latest Return to Ostagar. Is the new episode worthy of a purchase with other high profile games like Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 already out?
All Age Gaming's Ian Crane takes a look at the latest downloadable content for Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins, Warden's Keep. Is this content a worthy addition to the full game or a waste of Microsoft points?
"In recent years, Bioware has been a developer sitting happily at the pinnacle of story-driven action role-playing games, and their catalogue speaks for itself - Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, Jade Empire and Mass Effect can all attest to their ability to immerse players within quality stories, whilst providing a thoroughly entertaining style of gameplay. For their latest foray into their favourite genre, Bioware has players trading in their futuristic laser ..."
All Age Gaming's Khye Davey reviews the latest RPG from Bioware, Dragon Age: Origins for the Playstation 3. How does this epic RPG fare on the PS3? Read on to find out.
"BioWare has developed some of the best role-playing games of all time. Its catalog includes some of the best titles in the genre, such as Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect.
Dragon Age: Origins does not stray too far from the formulas pioneered in those games. The player builds a character, recruits party members with varied skills and undertakes an epic quest with multiple potential outcomes depending on the player’s reaction to different moral dilemmas...."
"1998 saw the release of Baulder's Gate, an RPG which is still heralded by many as one of best. Several years on, a few expansions later, and BioWare have finally released what they refer to as the "spiritual successor" to Baulder's Gate; Dragon Age Origins. The game takes the traditional style of Western RPG, which is based heavily around the Dungeons and Dragons rules, and brings the whole niche to a "next-gen" level. And whilst there are a couple problems, the experience offered in Dragon A..."
"The folks at Bioware have become the go-to-guys when anybody wants to develop a first-class RPG and Dragon Age: Origin is exactly that. Having travelled to a galaxy far, far away, Bioware goes back to its roots in this medieval epic full of trolls, elves, and magicians but manages to bring along its sleekly simple (yet powerful) user interface scheme. But Dragon Age isn’t just a Morrowind clone, this new title blows it’s predecessors out of the water with its intricately woven storyline, d..."
As hinted at in his last review, this week, Yahtzee takes on the hardcore RPG from Bioware, and the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate- Dragon Age: Origins.
"Weighing-in at 196.79MB, the fairly sizeable package offers the player new locations and challenges, as well as a brand new party member. The new quest, once found, will be added to the Downloadable Content section of the Quest Menu, and can be set as the Active Quest and pursued just as any other objective. Staged as two parts, The Stone Prisoner can be accessed at any point once the “Origin Story” has been completed. Visiting Felix at Sulcher’s Pass, a new location added to the map once the..."
All Age Gaming's Ian Crane looks at Bioware's latest RPG, Dragon Age: Origins. With the creator of Mass Effect behind this game expectations are high. Is it another classic game from the Bioware team? Read on to find out.
"Following a character establishing tutorial known as the “Origin Story”, the player begins their journey as a Grey Warden, with treachery leading our heroic new recruit to become one of the last of the legendary order of guardians. The return of an ancient foe has cast a dark shadow and the kingdom of Ferelden is engulfed in civil war, only you can unite the shattered lands and slay the archdemon once and for all. The Origin Story varies dependant on the race and discipline chosen during char..."
"The story is a familiar one, culled from the tales of Middle-Earth, Christianity, and even BioWare’s previous works. Driven by power and greed, mankind awakened the grotesque forms of the Darkspawn, and only the Grey Wardens were able to thwart the ensuing Blight. Four centuries have passed. The Darkspawn have become folk-tales, and the Grey Wardens, forgotten relics. The signs of another Blight cannot be ignored and, as in all circumstances of human tragedy, there are those who would bend th..."
"It’s often easy to forget in this day and age of high definition graphics and 5.1 surround sound that Role Playing Games made their meager start with a pencil, paper and dice. BioWare certainly knows this heritage with the Baulders Gate and Neverwinter Nights series closely following the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rule set. That AD&D lineage runs strong in Dragon Age: Origins which weaves an epic tale of loyalty, corruption, intrigue and some kick ass combat."
Hey, it's November 3, and you know what that means -- Dragon Age: Origins is out today! We've got a review for you hear; really, it's a difficult game to summarize, so the review is a bit longer than readers might be used to.
There are pretty pictures and videos anyway, to keep you entertained.
