Not since Oblivion has there been such an immersive role playing game.

EA’s Dragon’s Age set’s you on a path of options and self game choices within a fantastical medieval realm, where you will not only grow and mature but also make decisions in order to tailor your adventure (thus making it a different game every time you replay). How do you see the world that you’re within, but much more importantly – how does that world see you?

Landscapes are vast and crucially detailed, from villages to endless terrain, it’s a world created, just for your disposal.

From combat to magic, experience is everything. Your personally customized character will gain knowledge and abilities as you progress, effectively learning to create spells, fusing them together to for super carnage, aswell as develop weapon based agility and might to become a warrior to be feared. This is all done via Inventory Menu’s where you will check items, objectives, enact upgrades and so forth.

Enemies vary; from fellow unruly humans to whatever creatures the Developer’s minds could conjure up. Dragon Age: Origin is your story, wrapped up within an overall tale filled with anger, sadness jubilation and bravery.

Multiplayer, whether online or offline is seamless within the Party Based Combat for large scale battles and hordes of massively proportionate enemies and mythical creatures.
EA have set their mark on a genre that was dominated by Bethesda.

Dragon Age: Origin is probably one of only few games you’ll need this year.
