Bioware masterpiece
Platform For Display: PC
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition bundles the main game, the Awakening Expansion, and 9 DLC allowing you to enjoy the full Dragon Age experience. Dragon Age Origins (*****) This game is a must buy for RPG or fantasy fans. It has great story, memorable characters, tactical combat, and a decent leveling system. It is the closest game to the old Baldur's Gate series with pretty 3D graphics, and top-notch voice acting. I played the game with a Windows 7 64-bit machine and it did crash on occasion (Maybe once every 5 hours). Some if it was definitely caused by the extra mods I used, so the best way to play the game is to save often. Dragon Age Awakening (****) A full expansion to Dragon Age Origins. This game occurs directly after the main game in terms of the story. It allows you to import your character, and carries over some decisions from the main game. It is about 2/3rds the length of Origins and gives you pretty much more of the same thing. The minor downfalls of this game are that your new companions are not as interesting or fleshed out as your Origins companions. Also, many end game talents and spells are overpowered, removing any challenge for most of the campaign. Return to Ostagar & Warden's Keep (***) These are missions that you can play during Dragon Age Origins. They help flesh out the story more and give you a lot of armor and weapons. Overall they are fairly short (2 hours each) and the loot is overpowered, which can make the rest of your Origin's campaign imbalanced. However the additional story is nice. The Stone Prisoner (*****) This is a mission you can play during Dragon Age Origins. It gives you another companion, and a small story centered around that character. The character is fairly entertaining, and has interactions throughout the rest of the Origins campaign, so this DLC is very well done. Leliana's Song (n/a) I didn't completely play through this one. It is a side mission that occurs before the Dragon Age Origins story focusing on Leliana's history. You play as Leliana, and gain a few other new companions. Witch Hunt (n/a) I didn't completely play through this one. It is a mission that happens after the Awakening storyline. It fleshes out the ending from Origins. You can import your character and you get new companions. The Darkspawn Chronicles & The Golems of Amgarrak (n/a) I didn't try these at all. Darkspawn Chronicles is an alternate history, where you play as the darkspawn. Golems of Amgarrak is a side adventure for your main character. Feastday Gifts and Pranks (*) These are a bunch of items you can purchase which alter your companion's perception of you. Useful if you want to see all the romance options without needing to go through all the dialog. Not really necessary though, as the dialog options are pretty clear. ... show more

You might have never heard of the title, but this is the best RPG to come out in a long time, period.
Platform For Display: PC
Bioware hit a home run with this one. Fantastic gameplay, epic story, and as usual, a captivating cast of companions. Fans of Mass Effect will understand and agree that contributes significantly to the enjoyment of the game. RPGs are fun because they throw you into a situation where your character begins as a level 1 nothing, and evolves to become the hero of the game. That's the standard for most RPGs, but what Bioware does here is build a cast of characters, "companions" as the game calls it, that become as essential to the story as the protagonist hero "Grey Warden." Sure there are other RPGs with a great supporting case, namely the Final Fantasy series, but no game delivers the backstory, development, and detail for each individual character as DA:O does. The story is captivating, the graphics are good enough, the music is mesmerizing, and the gameplay controls are sublime (PC version). While combat is a lot of fun, a lot of what makes DA:O outstanding is the great dialogue in the conversations with various supporting cast and companions. Unlike Mass Effect, there is no morality system in this game and you are not really penalized for being extremely good or extremely bad. What those typical Bioware moral decisions impact are your relationship with the companions you happen to have in your group. There are the obviously good and the obviously bad spirited companions, and it is predictable how they will respond to whether you help someone or take threaten to eat their children. A nice twist to the game and much more challenging than just picking the good or bad decisions in dialogue. About the only drawback I can think of for the game is that the main character has no spoken dialogue. That is what made Mass Effect so much fun, the ability to be heroic, snarky, rude, or sympathetic and to hear it in the main character (well, mostly Femshep but that is another discussion). I've played a ton of RPGs - all the Elder Scrolls series, all the Final Fantasy series, etc... - DA:O is as good as it gets and well worth the 60+ hours for my first playthrough (and yet the game completion only showed 49%!). Final rating: 5/5 The "ultimate bundle" is a GREAT GREAT deal. So worth it for such an excellent game. ... show more

Dragon Age
Platform For Display: PC
Dragon Age is a fantastic game. The fantasy world that the game takes place in has a rich and interesting history and lore that fits together well and draws you in. This lore gets fleshed out in conversations with allies and others, books and journals you find along the way, and the various quests and struggles you overcome. There are multiple opening scenes depending on the main character's race, class, ethnicity, or social class of your character. Many of the people of the world will react to you differently depending on those demographics. You can recruit allies along the way to help you. Each has their own personality, your actions affect your relationships with them, and they have pithy banter with each other. Each ally has a side quest they will ask your help with if your relationship with them is good enough. You can even have romantic relationships with one (or more) of the allies. There are numerous side quests that allow you to extend the fun or you can just cut to the chase and pursue the main plotline as you wish. Different skill trees and spells for each character allow you to customize how you will fight, and your tactics are important. This wide range of options allows for great replayability, and I'm on my third run through. There are four difficulty levels: an easy difficulty level if you don't want to have to micromanage fights and just enjoy the story, normal to get a balance of both story and a few challenging fights, or you can crank it up if you live for the action. One particularly nice feature is that you can change the difficulty level during a game, so you can tailor better to the level of challenge you want without having to completely start over to do it. One problem with the world is the lack of good guys. It's full of backstabbing politicos, unjust societies, assassins, alcoholics, demon summoners, etc.- and those are the good guys! I often ended up siding with groups or individuals that are deeply flawed and trying to pick the lesser of two evils. For all of the fantastic lore, this world could really use some honorable or likeable factions. I originally bought the game for X-Box 360, but later bought the PC version. The PC version does not support a game controller, and clicking where you want to go with a mouse can be a little frustrating, but I found the PC version better in all other ways. The PC version has better graphics, better display of information, and easier control of tactics, spells, inventory, crafting, and quest related information. The game runs very smoothly on my laptop, but does cause the computer to heat up significantly more than any other program I have run, and my computer actually shuts down if I play too long at a stretch. ... show more

Great game, and well worth the price. The DRM sucks..
Platform For Display: PC
Just bought Dragon Age Origins (ultimate edition). After putting about 12 hours into it, I can truly say that it's a wonderful game in the tradition of Bioware's Knights of The Old Republic, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights; set in a new universe with dark fantasy and truly epic battles I haven't seen the like of since Peter Jackson's Return of The King. I'm not going to go into too much detail though, because there are many quality reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere on the internet. I want to share more the buying and installing experience. First of all, there is no downside to paying an extra $10 and getting the "Ultimate Edition" Versus the standard "Origins". The Downloadable Content packs (7 packs) that are included in the ultimate edition cost about $15 a piece separately, so they are well worth it in the bundle. The DLCs themselves fit seamlessly for the most part into the main story, and add a great deal of adventure and added playtime to the story. Go for the Ultimate Edition by all means. Installing... The DVD-disk physical copy version has two disks, both of which come in the box. They automatically patch the game up to 1.04 is it installs (the latest version), and install very easily and flawlessly. However, the DRM (Digital Rights Management, anti-piracy measures) is a nightmare. As I read the terms of service (yes, I sometimes do that), I actually contemplated sending the game back. It was that bad. The choicest bit of it comes to mind: "You agree that a breach of this License (disable the DRM, make a video for YouTube using the game, use a No-CD crack, etc) will cause irreparable injury to EA for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and EA shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages". Translation? If you do anything they don't like AT ALL, no amount of money or apologies is enough to fix the "irreparable injury" you cause to their $3 BILLION dollar-a-year company. They will have to put you in jail to ease the pain. So anyway... It uses two serial numbers: One for the main game, and one for the DLCs. You get three installs per serial number. The DLC serial code is expired as of 2009, luckily I didn't have any problems with it. Secondly, you are required to sign up for an EA/Bioware account to use the serial number for the DLCs. If you do this, you also must be logged on to the internet when you start the game. Thirdly, they use a disk-check (SecureROM) every time you start the game. Fourthly, the game collects info on your gameplay and PC. Goodbye privacy, because this game phones home like a momma's boy. It will let you look at the save games but won't let you load them until it finishes the handshake process with EA servers. Lastly, ANY CHANGE to your system can invalidate one of your three installs. Get a new computer, upgrade you RAM in your current one, put in a new cooling fan, replace the hard drive, buy a new graphics card... Any of these things can invalidate one of your three installs. If you run out of installs, you have to buy a new game or argue with EA. So good luck playing it five years down the road. In summary: It's a great game, but Electronic Arts (EA) is a horrible company with draconian DRM practices. This is the first game that I have bought from them since they started using DRM, and I almost didn't. I probably won't again. The companies punish honest gamers, because it is much easier to steal these games than buy and install them legitimately. Edit, July 2015: I upgraded my OS and had to reinstall the game using the serial. I COULD NOT reinstall the DLC, as that second keycode was "already in use" . Thankfully, I kept a copy of the old install files, as well as save games. I grafted the old DLC files into the new install of the main game, and tried to load a DLC save while logged into the original Bioware account. This tricked it into thinking the DLC installation was legit. Glad it worked. Also, I seem to remember an announcement on the dashboard about them discontinuing some of the online community (DRM) services, since it's so old now. That makes it easier. ... show more

DA2 works. This doesn't. Save your money.
Platform For Display: PC
This is a review of the PC version of DA Origins: Ultimate Edition (DAO:UE). I loved the new Dragon Age 2 (DA2) so much that I bought this "pre-quel". Big mistake. DA2 (the new game) works fine on my (3 yr old, mainstream) PC. There are a few bugs, most fixed by a downloadable patch, but the game is playable and major fun. But DAO:UE (a re-release of the older game) has two types of technical issues that make it unplayable and un-fun: (1) DRM (authorization of the bundled "extras") and (2) frequent random crashes. (1) DRM issues make the bundled add-in's "invisible" to newly started games and prevent loading of games previously saved with any of this content -- unless you log in to an EA website and stay logged in while playing. (This is sold as a stand-alone game; it isn't. In April, EA's site was down for several days and the game was unplayable.) I found a work-around after weeks of research in user forums, and experimentation that would challenge any non-technical-minded player. Note that the work-around suggestions came from users, not from Bioware/EA. No official troubleshooting guide or effective solution from Bioware/EA. Awful product support! (2) Nothing solves this game's random crash issues. Would you enjoy repeating a difficult fight again and again because it crashes before completion? Even cut-scenes (pre-recorded video segments) crash. (Remember, I have no issues running DA2 on the same hardware, drivers, settings, etc.) The random crash problem isn't specific to hardware or software. Users report crashing on PCs running Win 7, Vista, XP. Multicore, dual-core, and older CPUs. Various brands and models of video cards, drivers and driver versions. With graphics quality turned way down. And so on. Worse, DRM and crashing issues occurred with the ORIGINAL releases of DAO and the additional content (now bundled with DAO:UE). Just look at the user forums. Bioware never solved these issues, and now they have no incentive (most likely, no resources) to do so. DAO is old software; they have new games to develop and sell. Fine. They should stop trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of this one. Don't be tempted to buy this game, even if you love DA2. Bioware writes great games, but not worth the frustration of dealing with technical issues. ... show more

good game, however, buyers beware
Platform For Display: PC
The game itself is very fun to play. It comes with DLC on 2nd disc - the main reason I bought it(not sure if all the DLC are included, some reviewer indicated that you need to download some). However, in order to play the DLC, you still need to create an account, logged in to be authenticated to decrypt DLC content to play. Are you serious? This is a single player game! And I already paid for all of it. I had a lot of problem getting the DLC to work. Instead of enjoying the game, I spent days looking for a solution. Tried in-game console, it didn't work - the game DVD is missing the font, so you can't see anything you typed in. Downloaded missing font and installed, still couldn't get it to work. Finally I figured it out that the DLC weren't being decrypted correctly.... If you keep treating your paying customers like a thief, I won't being buying any more games. No more DLC, no more DRM, more online authentication. On a separate note, I also bought the Fallout 3 GOTY, which also included all DLC on 2nd disc, it just installs and let you play without any stupid DRM. It only has basic disc check, which I can live with. ... show more

Had to call Warranty Support
Platform For Display: PC
I bought "Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition" last year. At first I was going to get it for PC until I read about all the DRM/Registration/"EA is the devil" horror stories. To avoid the headache, I opted for the Xbox360 version. No problems. Great game. Finished one play-through. Now, about a year later, I decided to revisit this great game. Being mainly a PC gamer, I also wanted to sample the many great mods other PC gamers had created for DA:O. So I placed the order and picked up Ultimate Edition for PC. So, the game arrives and I install it... the game asks for the registration key... no problem. Next, the game's readme mentions logging on to the Bioware website to use a promo code for the DLC... hmm no promo code here. I start the game... the game connects to the Dragon Age servers (I guess they fixed that problem)... DLC content is Enabled but "Unauthorized". I go through the case again and thumb through the manual... no promo code. I can't use any of the additional content since it is unauthorized. After poking around online and in the Bioware forums for 1-2 hours, I find out where the promo code "should be" in the package. An insert "should" have a 16-character code printed on it. The insert I received was completely blank. The instructions were there yes, but no code had ever touched the insert... Long story short... After some hours (stretched over 3 days) of forum browsing and live chats with EA online reps trying figure out how to get a code, I call EA's warranty department at 650.628.1001 I explain to them that I purchased the game and it has no promo code for the additional content. I told them the game is Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition for PC. I had to reiterate "Ultimate Edition" since there is a "Collector's Edition" promo code as well. I also had to tell them specifically that the promo code is 16-characters. I had one rep at warranty pull up another registration code (20-characters) which would have done me no good. I'm not sure why my promo code was missing but I did notice the insert states an expiration date of July 2011... I guess copies of "Ultimate Edition - PC" being produced after this "expiration date" all have the same issue; missing promo code. Why EA would market and sale a collection of content and set an expiration date for the content is beyond me. "Ultimate Edition" for Xbox360 doesn't require any promo codes (at least not a year ago). The DRM for the PC version is really a hassle; especially when you don't get everything you need to have to get started! Luckily my issue wasn't as bad as others' I've been reading about. The game gets 5 stars - EA gets a 0.5 star for doing crazy stuff. ... show more

Great Game, pathetic tech support, questionable efficiency
Platform For Display: PC
I can't say enough great things about the game itself. Although the conversation's can get tiresome when trying to get straight to the 'hack-n-slash', some of the conversations between npcs can be incredibly amusing. 2 npcs (not directly associated with the pc) discussing the meaning of life. "What if we are all just a dream?" After I got used to needing to have a few lengthy conversations, I now find some of them to be quite entertaining. The ability to change the game through conversations is also something I like - the game doesn't need to be played the same way twice. This drastically increases the replay potential. And then there is the 'hack-n-slash' element. After a day at work, the ability to come home and commit virtual murder is great. There are no laws against it! And DA:Origins provides plenty of hack-n-slash. I have played all 3 character types (warrior, rogue, and mage)and the types seem to be fairly well balanced so that no character type has a clear advantage or disadvantage over the others in the game (it is possible to create 'weak' characters, but each type has the potential to be strong). Some are more straightforward than others, but I've enjoyed playing all three types. I could go on and on about how much I enjoy playing this game. Game Play 5 stars What causes the low rating? 1) This game chews up a lot of space on the desktop. I ended up deleting all of the screenshots and cleaning up most of the interim saves because DA was hogging so much disk space. Some mention of this might have been nice so that I didn't need to discover it myself and figure out how to fix it. Other games do not seem to be the space hogs that DA is: 3 stars 2) DLC - yep, there is FREE downloadable content included. If you can get it to work. Ultimately, with the help, I did get it to work. The DLC was fun, but the frustration associated with getting it to work removes a star: 4 stars 3) Official Tech support - here I can not say enough negative. The initial support tickets don't seem to be read so they provide a LOT of instructions that are unrelated to the original question. And have to be worked through to find out that they are unrelated. After literally weeks of trying to get the DLC issue resolved, the response is now that they don't support Mac/Parallels/Windows XP. I would have bought that as an answer - if my first question hadn't started with the platform that I was running on and admitting that since I'm running a nonstandard platform, they might not be able to help me. And if their site didn't provide information (supposedly) for running on a Mac. And if people running on PCs weren't reporting the same problem (DLC won't work) and the same poor support. Poor tech support -10stars (that's negative ten stars, not a dash) Considering this is a 5 star scale, I think my feelings about their tech support are clear. EA/tech support - 0 stars Positives - added on 4/5/2012 1) Unofficial tech support - there are forums online that are supported and moderated by the original developers/writers of this game. This support is on the same website (bioware) as the Official Tech Support, but the response was entirely different. I am updating my review to specifically commend this group for their patience (they had to deal with me after all) and their stellar support. When I found those forums, they kindly made me a part of the test group for patch 1.05 so that I could enable the DLC before the release of the official patch. The problem was totally unrelated to the fact that I was running DA on a Mac/Parallels/Windows XP (I have since upgraded to Windows 7) and the 'unofficial' tech support was able to get the game up and working for me. 2) Unofficial DLC - also available on the bioware site - this is free DLC written my the player community that you can download (free) and play. Some of it is better than others and you should do backups of your game/environment to avoid nasty surprises if DLC corrupts your game, but there are a number of exceptional mods (DLC) available. If you want to be able to install from the DVD and play, the DLC will not work for you. If you have the patience and expertise to go on line and find patch 1.05, this is an exceptional game that I can't recommend highly enough. I've only upgraded to rating to 2 stars because a buyer of the Dragon Age: Ultimate DVDs must be at least a little technically knowledgeable to go online to get the patch, install the patch, and get it to work ... show more
