You can almost hear the game chuckling as it pats you on the back, saying “good luck with that.” Then, just as the Forces of Good are assembling to begin putting things aright, tragedy strikes again, leaving you the sole survivor and officially in charge of picking up the pieces.
By way of introduction, the game begins with a few brief adventures during which your world is turned upside down, and/or you are recruited into the Grey Wardens, whereupon you are introduced to the Main Plot, in which the forces of darkness have begun sneaking warily into the Forces of Good’s backyard. And you will go on quests, battle monsters and loot their corpses.ĭragon Age: Origins is billed as a “dark fantasy,” which one has to assume means that there will be no unicorns and no happy endings. You will be presented with the option to accumulate various party members from time to time, and when you set out on your adventures, you will be able to select which party members will go with you, according to your needs or personal preferences. What won’t change are the basics: The Darkspawn (AKA “NotOrcs”) have begun to invade Ferelden and it is up to the legendary order of Grey Wardens (AKA “NotDunedainRangers”) to assemble an alliance of the forces of good to drive them back using swords and sorcery.
You can even choose your background from one of six options, so your character’s personal history may vary somewhat, as will your abilities and overall gameplay experience, depending on your selections. You can play as one of three races (Human, Dwarf or Elf) and one of three classes (Warrior, Rogue or Mage). Where many videogame RPGs feel flat or lifeless (including some made by BioWare), Dragon Age: Origins (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) is captivating from the start, and every step of the way gives you the impression that your actions are entirely your own and most importantly, will have an impact on the world in which you’re playing.ĭragon Age: Origins is set in the fictional land of “NotMiddleEarthia,” AKA Ferelden, which is inhabited by the usual gang of races.
