Best Dragon Age of them all. Veilguard you can suck a ♥♥♥♥

Look I love this game and series, but THIS APPLICATION is unplayable in its current state. Just check out any forum to see the gauntlet of fixes you'll need to attempt to get it to *maybe* launch. I personally never made it any farther than the character creator.

It's a shame, because I would love to replay this game.

Simply a masterpiece. Objectively one of the best RPG-s of all time, and also in my subjective opinion, a game that has its place in the all time hall of fame of gaming.
When it comes to the elite of the RPG genre, it's all very simple: you have Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, Fallout and Witcher. These are the 4 best game series - in my opinion. You can't miss with buying these ( of course, if you like the genre ).

All the elements are top notch: the story is epic, fantastic, with a cast of many interesting companions to chose from and build friendships with. An incredible amount of main quests, secondary and side quests.
Bioware created a wonderful fantasy world - Thedas with a complex history ( lots of lore to read ), many kingdoms ( each with complex traditions, history, religion, politics...), races, factions, etc......
They should make movies about the Dragon Age games and they would be 100 times better then Lords of the Rings.
Your actions and choices shape the story and the world of Thedas, it's very rewarding to see the effects of your choices afterwords and the consequences of how you opted to resolve the problems and quests.

Combat is also brilliant: pure RPG old school style ( which means its "serious"/challenging, complex with dozens of skills to chose, very tactical ). It's real time, not turn based. You have to constantly pause the fights to issue commands to each companion. You can also program companions to have preset behaviours but I always played with total manual control of companions, which means I had to pause every few seconds.
The difficulty is as follows: those who aren't veterans of RPG-s should play at "normal", those experienced in the genre I recommend playing at hard. It's very challenging at times, especially when you fight bosses like dragons, but nontheless rewarding and epic.
The skill trees are interesting, you have classes with lots of different ways to build them, lots of gear to chose, all the elements are here.
The soundtrack is epic, the graphics was great at the time of release - which is 2009. Some youngsters will surely skip buying DA:Origins because the graphics is a little dated, but they should understand that gameplay is the most important element in the world of gaming, not graphics.

It should be stated for those who aren't familiar with this title - this Ultimate edition is actually comprised of 2 games, not 1!! It's Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Awakening. The latter is not just a DLC, is a standalone game. At the time they were selling the DVD and I bought it. Also all the dozens of DLCs are present here, that add many additional story quests, item packs and even 5 new mini campaigns.
So if you buy this game when they have big sales, it's a steal! You get so much for what you pay.

A classic. I enjoyed every second of it.
