In the same way that Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings have universes that were successfully developed by their creators, Dragon Age has been fleshed out from start to finish. This game is so complex, so rich, and so complete that I will refer to it as a “universe” for the rest of the review. To summarize the story of Dragon Age: Origins in a few paragraphs is actually insulting to the writers. Quite simply, Dragon Age: Origins is one of the most fun and addicting gaming experiences I have ever had, and I recommend it without any reservations.
A few days later, I found myself back at the end of the game with my second character. After completing my initial playthrough and dabbling with other storylines, I thought that in order to give a fair review of the game, I should play through one of the other storylines more fully.
If it’s possible to have your impression of a game changed after fifty hours of gameplay, Dragon Age: Origins is the game that did so for me.
