Dragon Age: Origins is a single-player role-playing video game developed by BioWare's Edmonton studio and published by Electronic Arts. It is the first game in the Dragon Age franchise. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2009, and for Mac OS X on December 21, 2009.
Set in the mythical kingdom of Ferelden during a period of civil strife, the player assumes the role of a warrior, mage or rogue who must unite the kingdom to fight an impending invasion by demonic forces. BioWare describes Dragon Age: Origins as a "dark heroic fantasy set in a unique world", and a spiritual successor to their Baldur's Gate series of games, which took place in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise.[13]
Upon its release, Dragon Age: Origins was lauded with overwhelmingly positive reviews and considered a critical success. Aggregate review site Metacritic ranks the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game with scores of 91, 87, and 86, respectively.[14][15][16] The game also received multiple awards from numerous outlets, ranging from IGN's "PC Game of The Year (2009)"[17] to the Academy of Interactive Arts & Science's "Role-Playing/Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year 2009".[18]
An expansion to the game, titled Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, was released in March 2010, and the official sequel, Dragon Age II, is set for release in March 2011.[19][20] BioWare intends for Dragon Age: Origins to serve as the foundation for a much broader intellectual property. Even before its release, plans to expand the universe introduced by the game were underway; this included sequels, pen and paper games, books, and comics that would expand the scope of the Dragon Age franchise.[21] Several of those projects have since been released.

- Best RPG i have ever played, 16 November 2009
- 300 hours into the game... and going for a lot more..., 18 December 2009
The amazingly constructed comedy, that put some people like me in stitches, to lighten a little a very dark and apocalyptic threat to the world that my characters are living in, the brilliant way that the story develops and throws consistent events that make sense considering all the lore of the world that has been presented and the progression of the tale, particularly in random encounters that are determined by the stage we are in the tale.
There is something really magic about DA, something that I simply had to try and capture. For me it was the first time that I felt compelled to make movies of a game and I have some 50 of them already. Because each moment in DA is unique. A battle will never be replayed the same way, the party chat will never occur in the same order, at the same place. For a particular moment in DA, there are possibly way more possibilities than I can calculate. While in other games that I love, including The Witcher and even Gothic, they all replay exactly the same. Not talking only about mechanics or the order we may choose to make those things happen. DA is Epic!
Oh, and I love Leliana so much! Thank you Corinne!!!
- The best RPG since Oblivion., 23 February 2010
At first I was taken back by the combat system. Combining real-time action with micro-management on the fly is truly brilliant. Once I got into the swing of things, I found myself strategically placing my ranged characters at a distance, while my rogue set traps at a doorway and my warrior lured enemies into an ambush. This game makes you think! Hack'n'slash'n'button bashing just doesn't cut it with Dragon Age. You must plan every single attack carefully, for the greatest effect. I'm over 100 hours in and I've barely even scratched the surface.
With the massively extensive customizability and official downloadable content, this game is going to be hanging around for a long, long time. Game developers owe a lot to the modding community for keeping their games shining, long after they're released. We can be sure set for some great mods and new quests to keep us glued to our screens for many months/years to come.
A must buy for any RPG fan. 10/10
