Review of Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins Review
Dragon Age Origins is a very well made RPG game with a terrific and complex storyline.
When you start the game, the first thing to do is develop your hero; there are six characters to choose from among Elf, Dwarf and Human: Dalish Elf, City Elf, Dwarf Commoner, Dwarf Noble, Mage and Human Noble. Throughout the game you will gain special weapons and will increase your special abilities such as skills, spells and talents.
And now, let’s talk a little about the storyline: Ferelden is under siege by demonic creatures known as the Darkspawn that bring pain and destruction. People from different races and backgrounds are trying to gather together in order to fight these agents of darkness, but only a unified force will be able to fight back the invasion of Darkspawn and save the world they love. Along with you, a group of adventurers will join you in your quest in order to unite Ferelden against the Darkspawn, but in order to gain their respect, you will have to achieve quests in manners approved by them and only by doing so, you will open more options and decisions to make.
In the making of Dragon Age Origins, BioWare took the best components of existing RPG fantasy games, improved dramatically the graphic, the sound and the controls, and introduced a great story and dialogue which the player can interact with by making a large amount of decisions that can have great impact on the game itself.
BioWare did a good job on making the game-play suitable also to a new player of the genre even though he/she could find it difficult to learn the strategy at first. The interface is developed in a way to help you organize all your abilities.
The battles are impressive and require careful, critical thinking in order to plan the proper strategy that will make you succeed. Of course, every battle requires different planning.
This is a story of magic, dragons, demonic creatures and their strong and powerful armies that will keep you glued to your screen.
