Dragon Age: Origins Review 

NTCore's 4GB Patch tool: ntcore.com/?page_id=371 Patch guide for Steam version: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=233222451

This is one of the only games where I'll beat it and immediately want to start another playthrough. That puts it in my top five favorite games of all time.

I’ve over 1600 hours replaying this series over and over I love it so much ❤

WAIT you only have 11 subscribers? This video is so well done! Take my sub. Now, do all the Dragon Age videos as I am just CONSUMING all the DA content after Dreadwolf announced Alpha. As Sera would say "“Yes! Get in good before you're too big to like!”

I played DAO through for the first time just recently, finishing only two weeks ago. Having played DAI first (I know….) I can definitely say this game was an excellent kick off to this series even if it does show its age. Also, thank you for this video, it was very well put together.

Very nice, very fair and balanced review of what I regard as one of the best titles in videogaming history. One advantage of the PC version is that the majority ((but obviously not all) of the issues mentioned within the review can be fixed by mods. The DA Annoyance Remover gets rid of the visuals for those sustained effects plus the annoying audio that goes with some of them, the high res texture pack makes the visuals far more appealing, the Sweet FX presets help with the the lighting, shadows and atmosphere, NPC overhauls get rid of some of the problem of similar, generic NPCs. The Respec Mod allows full customisation of party members so you don't have to stick with the unoptimised builds implemented by Bioware - and that's just a few of them. Origins still has a very lively and active modding community.

I started this game back up a couple of weeks ago and I have about 20 hours in...but damn is this game extremely addictive and the dialouge is very well written and interesting...it definitely keeps me playing for "one more battle"...im playing a female Dwarven fighter and im just having a blast!

I loved the combat tactic system, install the mod which give you 20 more slots. And just watch your team beat every encounter without having to do anything is super satisfying.

Fantastic video so well done been binging all things dragon age since dread wolf alpha was announced just subbed can't wait to see DA2 n DAI

Definitely impregnated Morrigan

My Dwarven rogue was so much fun to play as. And then my dwarf getting with Morrigan lol. love it!

This is a great review. I'm starting my first playthrough of the game since it first came out so this was a nice refresher as well as tipping me off on some things I might need to keep in mind such as the RAM limit. Thanks!

Cool. Discovered a new channel. 😁 DA0 is one of my favorite video games of all time.

My most played game ever. I played all intros, began the game ~7 times, playing it to various lengths, and completely finished it and Awakening at least 2 times.

Maybe it's because Origins is one of my favorite games, but I've found it very easy to sit through this entire review without getting the urge to click off even once, you're very relaxing to listen to and the pacing is great. What mic do you use?

That was such a fun and well made video, you definitely deserve recognition for! And it would be great if you covered other positions from the franchise; especially Awakening might be interesting, because thats when we actually start to see the aftermath of EA getting their filthy little hands on BioWare hah. Keep it up, you're doing a really good job!

Great video man! Been looking for people covering the dragon age games

Morrigan could have there own TV show

This is the game that made me love RPGs

Dragon age origins might be my favourite game of all time. It is a shame they made no sequels for it

Great review mate! Can we get the mass effect series next?

As soon as I played the human Noble knew I was going to love it due to the fact that you can create your own character and you have options not to mention that you don't have to follow certain steps... Dragon age is one of my top favorite games and dragon age origins is my favorite out of the franchise so far... This is how good this game is that even though it does have flaws it's still a masterpiece and it will be so badass to remaster this game like they did with deep-space... Remaster deep space and the last of us as well as resident evil 4... All those games are classics and masterpieces as well and look how great you turned out even the Mass effect franchise which is also one of my favorite game... Dragon age 2 is a game that I did like but it's not as good as the first one and dragon age inquisition is it good game as well probably I'll put that in my second favorite game the franchise but I hate the level part but if we would have fixed that that game will be so much better than it is...

Omg denerim always crashed for me, I'll try that 4gb patch, I wasn't aware there was a memory leak.

Oh, buddy. Be ready for all the subs. Dragon Age is getting a lot of hits lately and this video is very well made.

Damn, kinda made me wanna play it again. Great video by the way!

The Intro is great.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm a huge Dragon Age fan, and even I didn't know Tim Curry was in here! Will you be reviewing the other games too? Thanks so much for the video!

I like the sustained talent graphic on.. if it has a visual effect it’s realistic if you have it on. Switch them off if you want to roleplay switching then off! I love showing my power!

Witch Hunt... Get away from my mirror.. (architect)

Great job! Keep up the good work buddy! New sub!

A very well written review, subbed

enchaaaaantment

it was such a great game and one of the few games i woudnt mind a remake with an updated engine.

Favorite game/game series of all time. Hands down.

DAO is my most favorite game ever and I believe, the best game ever.

100th subscriber 😌

An amazing review for a game that sparked an appreciation for role playing and fantasy.

I don't know if I'm just lucky, but the game NEVER crashed on me. I played this game like 10 times, for long hours, and never had any problems. Maybe it's a hardware issue? For example my PC was never able to run KOTOR 2 because of my Intel CPU.

that third clearly better option doesn't always play nice with whatever you are rolling as - so I am happy that other options are there (but also, you dont always get the extra thing)

The story is so good the way it goes wrong then Duncan showing up. It’s legendary. And technically I was so impressed.. at what I was paying through!

Wish you would've used the Qwinn's Fixpack. It fixes many bugs from the original

I had to sell my xbox one... It was really hard because I did buy and downloaded the dragon age franchises all three games.. and I had my Xbox One for a couple years now and I bought those games right off the bat and once in a great while I will play them but it was a long time since I played dragon age until one day I decided to play it and I just fell in love with it all over again.... I can sell it and now I can't play it until I get another one but now I am very determined to get another one because of this game

I love combat in this game, and couldn't believe it how they messed it up in the 2nd one not to mentiont the 3rd one where you just smash buttons and enemies are sponges.

Enchantment!!

One of my favorite games of all time caint say anything about awakening haven’t got that far

God I wish they would remaster this game and the second one

.... Dreadwolf let's go

I finished this game 5 times and never realized that Shale is a female.

so that's why the game keeps crashing... I need to fix this, I want to replay Dragon age Origins again at some point. I thought something was wrong with the GoG version, so I bought the steam version as well (they were both cheap) but that crashed too lol. so the NTCore works for the GOG version?

Think it’s worth mentioning that even buying the ultimate edition you still miss out on a ton of dlc items you’ll never get. Some really good items. It’s also very annoying that your companions some more than others have already been pre leveled and have some useless skill points wasted.

One of the best games I've ever played.

Enchantment!

Epic game !

One of the best RPGs ever

I keep playing DA:O over and over :)

The only great and actually epic Dragon Age game. Not the woke BS that came later

Hell yeah... Insert joke about rings of power 😂

Song of fire and ice isnt wasnt even popular in 2009 when this game released

Da origina reminds me knights of the old republic since theres jedi and wardens

DAO is game on paper that I should love. I love the world, the lore, the characters. I just can't with the combat for some reason...

100hr+ and that's fast

facial animations still better than mass effect andromeda

What year is it???

Nothing about Awakenings?

It's weird that you have little over 40. Will I sup!!!

Game is amazing as a first playthrough, I didn't really like the combat system until they finally made it good in Inquisition but it was decent enough. Overall the highlights for me where the companions, Morrigan is just.. she's the goat, Claudia Black is just great.

The only good game in the series

Those annoying things you mentioned, there's mods for that.

You spend too much time talking about performance, it's not necessary for an old game. As you can see, everyone already know the entire game and like your video because they like the game. Why presenting it like no one ever played it?

First, DAO is not too long, every time I've played it through, I said man is it over? Second it's FREE with EA Play, along with some other great games.

It's hard to say the facial movements could use improvements when the game is as old as it is. Lol 2009 games don't look as good as our memory's

Dragon age sucks

Its just a side note without any big spoilers: All three DLCs, Golems of Amgarack, Lelianas Song and Witch Hunt, were both lore set ups for the book / comics tie in aswell for the later games. Its clear for those who only played one of the game or doesnt know the books & comics to miss those / not know about it. DAO set the foundation for the greater DA universe and lore, its naturel that those who are only interested in the game would miss out on it. As an example without much spoilers: - The church woman in Leliana songs who save her, becomes realy important later on. - The plot aswell as the boss of the GoA play a huge role later in DA2 aswell in the books - Witch Hunt sets up both the books before and part of the later main plot of DA3
