Dragon age so it was called when the project took place back in 2002. Bioware started develope it and David Gaider wrote the amazing story. E3 2004 had the first release of a trailer for the game that was name Dragon age without the Origins part. The game took an additional 5 years to complete and in November 2009 it was released. You the player can be three different species, Human, Elf or Dwarf, no matter what you pick you will end up as a Grey Warden. A sworn protector from the Blight. A blight is a time when the Darkspawn get together to create a horde that has an Archdemon that will take over the world. This is the fifth blight and the Grey wardens prepare to fight as usual. However this time there is a war going on between humans and instead of preparing for the blight, they try to take advantage of it and sieze the throne after a tragic defeat that takes place. Many grey wardens die in the battle and you as the player fight for Ferelden and tries to get all species to work together and stop this incoming blight and keep order between everyone. It is your time to become the 'Hero of Ferelden'. There exist and followup on this game Dragon age 2 where you can transport your save from this game to the second one and your decisions will matter. Even the game of the year Dragon Age Inquisition is a followup on those two games, where the decisions matter ofc. This is a must play. One of the absolute best storytelling games you possibly can find. I'd give this game 97/100.

Pros
- Best Story-Telling game on the market, hands down.
- Beautiful graphics (For being a game from 2009)
- Combat is very strategic and fun.
- Voice actors on point.
- The conversations in this game is very funny and they curse alot
- About 50 hours of story-missions and about 100+ in sidemissions.

There is not many cons at all about this game but I did not give it 100 for a reason.
Cons
- On the maxed out graphics and having windows 10 will cause graphic glitches and crashes. Put settings one step below maxed out.
- The homepage for the game and all service to it has been shut down.

As said before I cannot recommend this game enough. I have played the game 150+ hours and I am far from done. I have finished the game twice (Both as human) and now I am going for Elves and Dwarfs as well. After this I still have got alot of Dragon age 2 to go through for the hundred time and Inquisition as well ofc. Love it and has been a big fan for years. I'd say it is worth full price and I would also say that you HAVE to go for the ultimate edition so that you get all DLC's. It is such a big difference! A MUST PLAY GAME!
