Please, please do not patch the difficulty anymore. I have been playing on HARD from the start & I have NEVER changed difficulty level for a fight nor has it taken more than 4 tries to win a large battle. I love this game because it is tactical & extremely challenging do not dumb this game down simply because the gaming community has been dumbed down. If I want to button mash & roll through levels without thinking I’ll play CoDMW but I want an in depth story with challenging tactical battles. Dragon is my dream game & Bioware delivered more than I could of ever hoped for with this game. I have never been so impressed with a game I know patches are optional but I do not want to miss out on DLC & game fixes because I refuse to have a “dumbed down” version of Hard for all the little kids playing this game when they shouldn’t be or b/c of some reviewers who are just not used to this genre so complain or mark difficulty as a bad thing. I’ve seen difficulty as a bad thing first hand. I played an RPG where one fights took 15-20 mins then just to die & try 20 thirty times it was just ridiculously difficult to the point of great frustration. Dragon Age: Origins is NOT that, this game is about correctly balancing your party, eventuating the importance & weak points of enemies while properly leveling your char & most importantly either pausing often or presetting your teams tactics tab to correctly address specific enemies in a specific order with the correct talent or spell. This game is Mature and designed for a mental challenge, please keep it that way. I can’t tell you how brilliant this game is to me. I loved BG2 & KotOR but this game blows them out of the water, DAO far exceeded my expectations and I’ve already enjoyed for over 40 hours only having it 4 days. I thank everyone on the dev team & all the voice actors for doing such a fantastic job with this game.

Well I would be happy IF IT WAS AVAILABLE in Mexico as of today November 8……. What happened why is it not available?wasnt supposed that the idea of partnering with EA was to have better distribution (and faster)???? All I can do is hover the forums with envy of the people already playing it while I cant do a thing to get the game because of the monopoly in this filthy country……..Why??? Why Bioware ????why????? Why is it not already here , is not like we live in another continent???? Or a country without postal servicess , etc. You made a very unhappy week/weekend for me , and worse is that I no longer know when the game will be available …. will the same happen when Mass Effect 2 ships out as well????? Are fans outside the US/Canada not worthy enough?????

I love Dragon Age: Origins for it’s wide variety of knowledge, a great realestic relationship with other characters in the game, and I absolutelly love the story and the gameplay, over all Dragon Age is the next best RPG of the century in my opinion. Kepp it up Bioware!

I just purchased DragonAge: Origins, and so far I’m pleased (haven’t played long enough to be blown away, which I’m sure I will be). As a BioWare fan dating back to the original release of Baldur’s Gate, I’ve played almost all of the company’s releases: BG 1&2, Throne of Baal, KOTOR 1&2, Mass Effect, and Icewind Dale, to name the ones I can remember. DragonAge seems to combine the best aspects of all of these games, brought to a new and insidiously addictive level. Now if I can just tear myself away from Elderscrolls: Oblivion long enough to delve deeper into the DragonAge world! –Mikkon, RPG to the Grave.

November 13, 2009 at 6:56 am |
Fun game
November 13, 2009 at 8:39 am |
What about patches for the Xbox 360 version?
November 14, 2009 at 9:55 pm |
1) Is this game played only in first person view, like Halo and COD???
2) Does this game have the option to play on line as well as console?

Support is horrible, if they answer you at all. Game is unplayable for many. Nice that it has so many great reviews, makes me wonder… Looks to be a great game but needs a patch and one that is done better than the 1.01 patch. I bought the Collectors Edition and currently feel that I wasted 70 dollars. BioWare, EA? Some one please address the numerous issues discussed in the games official forums. I still have some hope that this issue will be addressed, I have fond memories of Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Particularly Neverwinter Nights, Linux support made that game and certainly extended its life. I don’t expect Linux support for Dragon Age, but I would like to see the same commitment.
