Dragon Age: Origins Overview

Many gamers have been arguing for years about which RPG is the best. There are many variations, but Dragon Age: Origins is one of them.

Game Features

Dragon Age: Origins has been in development for about seven years. The result is a game with a new universe that is different from all the others. There are unique kingdoms and religions, complex stories of race relationships and much more.

Although the beginning of the game does not portend such diversity – the user creates his own character, choosing his gender, race, class and other parameters. All of this will affect the story of the game and the relationship with others.

Character progression

Experience in the game can be obtained for completing tasks, destroying enemies and other actions. After leveling up, your character will get three units that can be used to boost basic characteristics, as well as one unique class skill. The entire development line is spelled out in great detail, so it’s hard to get lost in it. However, it is worth to work out the pumping strategy beforehand to achieve the maximum effect.

Moreover, you can improve the characteristics not only the protagonist, but also his companions. In the process of playing meet many characters, but at the same time in the team can take only three of them. Each character has its own characteristics and character. They respond differently to the player. For example, one of the killing of criminals enjoys, while another will be horrified by it.

Battles

While it is possible to make friendships and romances with the characters, their main purpose is to engage in combat. Battles here are intense and fast-paced. Often there are more opponents than teammates, so you are constantly thinking about who you should take with you in a certain situation. You can give battle commands to your partners such as attack, use a skill or use a potion. To make things easier for you, you can pause the game and give instructions to all your teammates during battle.

The plot

The story is the game’s strongest point. Although the backstory of the characters varies, then the hero is still taken to war. Here he becomes a grey guardian and must stop a huge army of darkness spawns. To do so, he must assemble his army, which will fight against Pestilence.

Collecting an army has to be done all over Ferelden. To do so, you have to visit the forest and find the elves, go down underground to the land of the gnomes and convince them to unite with the others, to negotiate with wizards and humans. Of course, no one will just agree to the hero’s proposal. First you will have to help everyone and complete various missions.

Exploring the world

There is a lot to travel in Dragons Age: Origins. A global map on which all the locations available to visit will be marked helps with this. While travelling, random and prearranged events will happen to the hero. From any location explored, you can always move to a camp to rest and chat with partners. There is also a merchant with a son who is able to improve weapons. Also, in the camp there are representatives of races that have already agreed to join the battle. You can trade with them, giving away certain items and receiving experience in return.

It is difficult to say that everything in the game is perfect. You may encounter some technical difficulties while passing, so it is better to install the latest patch. The graphics is also not at the highest level, but the designers tried to make the game remain bright and colorful. But in all other respects, there are no complaints about Dragons Age: Origins. Even now it is one of the best RPGs out there.
