Forgot your password?  Review: Dragon Age: Origins 452  Posted
by Soulskill from the blood-spattered-goodness dept. Since the
release of Baldur's Gate in 1998, BioWare has cultivated a
strong reputation for quality role-playing games, exploring
various aspects of the genre ranging from traditional D&D roles
and rules to space marine and Jedi Knights. Dragon Age: Origins
is a shift back to traditional swords-and-sorcery standards,
unashamedly embracing the archetypes that made RPGs what they
are, and using them to tell a complex, interesting story in a
familiar yet unexplored world. In addition, BioWare has done yet
another iteration of their combat system to make it deeper and
allow the player to dictate the level of engagement. The result
is that Dragon Age: Origins is one of the best RPGs in recent
history. Read on for the rest of my thoughts.   • Title: Dragon
