At the end of Dragon Age: Origins, Bioware did a great job of wrapping up the story depending on the decisions made by players while still leaving it open enough to add to the story.
In the expansion, Dragon Age: Origins Awakening continues a version of the story that introduces more of the background of the darkspawn and creates more decisions for players to make that will affect the outcome of the title.
Players who completed the original game will find a great continuation of the overall plot of the world of Dragon Age, though some might think that there is not enough content for this expansion to warrent the $39.99 price tag.
From my early childhood, I’ve been fascinated by knights, dragons, magic and the whole fantasy thing. Now, I’ve been a gamer for over 20 years, but in middle school I spent a lot of time playing Dungeons and Dragons, and I always wanted a great game that could really encompass everything that I dreamed up while playing the tabletop game. Well released in November, Bioware gave us Dragon Age: Origins, and it is what I consider to be Mass Effect meets Dungeons and Dragons, and is potentially the best fantasy adventure I’ve played, combining drama, sex, an epic quest to save the world, and even a whore or two thrown into the mix. Sound good to you? Let’s take a look!
While I don’t consider myself to be a hardcore RPG fan and usually stick to titles that I’m more familiar with; when I began Dragon Age: Origins, I found myself immersed in the deep storyline.
Bioware is known for excellent RPG games, and they haven’t disappointed with Dragon Age: Origins. The huge amount of side quests extend the life of the game and learning about the world itself is a lot of reading, but those who want to know everything about the world will be able to.
Dragon Age: Origins is a nice throwback to the medieval RPGs of back in the day. One thing that those old RPGs didn’t have was great voice acting. Honestly, when you think about it, only in the past few years has voice acting become something that actors wanted to attach to their resumes.
Bioware has announced the cast that will be voicing some of the bigger characters in the title.
The RPG genre has covered many different time periods, universes, and characters. There is always something nostalgic though when developers take the RPG back to the medieval age and add recognized character classes and races.
With Dragon Age: Origins, Bioware has revealed a new city in the game, and one that is not all that it seems.
Dragon Age: Origins is one of next games releasing from Bioware. With their strong track record of impressive games, Dragon Age: Origins looks to be another solid entry in the list of classic titles from this developer.
Bioware held a press conference at the Gamescom convention and showed off a new trailer for the upcoming title.
