+Fantasy Explorer Wow, Challenge An Arch Demon is one of the best "noisy" soundtrack. I really don't like this type of OST for 99% of the time but this is amazing. THAT'S what I call epic. No wonder why the Archdemon part was so good. The Common Dwarf is also pretty good.
i cannot play this game again because no matter how many times i swear i will ~explore~ the different races-classes-endings i always end up making the same old choices
Wow... Actually, I've done none of those things, except side with Zathrian. I've also accepted Kolgrim's offer and despoiled the sacred ashes too (after saving a pinch for Arl Eamon.) I've also spared Logahin, on my first play-through, becasue my character believed in second chances. I was NOT prepared for the effect that had on poor Alistair, though. Let's see, other 'evil' choices.. I've sacrificed Isolde a few times to save Connor, though one time I have actually killed the poor boy... I've been a blood mage, but not by accepting the demon's offer in the Fade for the Connor quest. But you can buy the book in Awakenings, and after you get the unlocks, you have them forever. Hmm I have NOT yet sided with the werewolves in a "Let's kill Zathrian and all the elves" sort of way, yet, either. Perhaps someday. Edit: Wait, now that I think on it, I HAVE sided with Zathrian and killed the Lady of the Forest and the werewolves.
@DevilTrigger The problem lies in open world games being open world for the sake of it, and the map is the size of an ocean with the depth of a puddle. This actually detracts the overall experience of the game. There are one too many open world games these days that have unecessarily large maps filled to the brim with pointless fetch quests that serve no meaningful purpose, acting only as filler. I'll take a linear and/or tight-knit world over an open world if it meant I'd get a quality > quantity experience. The two aren't mutually exclusive, no, but it is difficult for developers to be consistent on both sides.
@@CelestialDraconis Well said. It also becomes too fragmented and loses focus. Even if the story is great, doing too many side quests and exploring in-between loses the tension the story builds up, it becomes too slow and fragmented.
I personally never liked the limited world of DAO, or repetitiveness of DA2 or the absolute huge world without much to do in DAI. Literally none of them are great. If they DA4 does something like Skyrim, Witcher, etc it would be grand
Best characters Best storyline Best combat Best OST Best classes Best dialogue tree Choices mattered more Greatest Dragon Age game, sadly it will never be this good again as 99% of the people who worked on Origin are no longer at Bioware.
There are many crpgs better in characters, storyline, rpg-mechanics and combat. What dragon age origins is exceptional at is being still good in all of these combined with cinematic story-telling. This is the key to its success. It translated the crpg genre from text boxes to a more aesthetic presentation. Later entries diverged from crpg elements, but also no other developer tried what origins did again until only very recently. In 2014 there was a revival of the crpg genre with many exceptional titles such as Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder, Divinity or Disco Elysium, but all were niche due to presentation. Now however with Baldurs Gate 3 we might have an RPG that combines the most core rpg-mechanics with a modern presentation.
I agree with almost all of that and I love origins. One of my favorite games and certainly my favorite Dragon Age. But I can't agree with best combat. It was the ONE thing I didn't like about it. Not enough to diminish the game though.
***** One of the main points that they had back when origins came out with was {and I quote from the lead dev} "Its not just fantasy, its dark fantasy". He said this in an interview while talking about what the races were like. Also se the dragon age wiki, It is a dark fantasy.
Dragon age origins was an amazing adventure when i was a little kid the world was so unique compared to other games that were out at the time just wish it had a combat system similar to Elder Scrolls V: SKYRIM tho :/
Honestly, I think there will never be a game I love as much as Dragon Age Origins. There are many other brilliant games out there, but none of them manages to captivate me as much as Origins did and still does. This game just feels so personal, like home 💕
This game made me genuinely laugh out loud on many occasions. And I swear, that one time when I decided to go after Connor without taking out the demon in the Fade, then backed out at the last minute when Isolde begged me not to kill her baby...only for her to realize her son is already lost...and makes the choice to kill him.......wow. I did not see that one coming at all.
@@afinoxi Alistair: "What would you do if your mother died?" Morrigan: "Before or after I stopped laughing?" They had epic dialogue, but by far my favourite dialogue was between the Warden and Sten when you managed to get him to open up. For instance: Warden: Do you always have to be so literal? Sten: It's a choice, not a necessity. Warden: You're impossible! Sten: I know.
@@Darkdaej lmao. I personally love the one between Sten and Leliana : Leliana: I saw what you were doing back there. Sten: Oh? Leliana: Don't play innocent with me. Sten: What are you talking about?Leliana :You. Playing with that kitten. Sten: ...There was no kitten. Leliana :Sten, I saw you. You dangling a piece of twine for it. Sten : I was helping it train. Leliana : You're a big softie! Sten :We will never speak of this again. Leliana : Softie! And the one between Oghren and Allistair if you're in a relationship with Allistair : Oghren : So. With the boss, aye?Alistair : Pardon? Alistair : You and the boss. Rolling your oats. Alistair : I don't know-- Oghren : Polishing the footstones. Allistair : --what you're-- Oghren : Tapping the midnight still, if you will. Alistair :What are you going on about? Oghren : Forging the moaning statue. Bucking the forbidden horse. Donning the velvet hat. Alistair : Are you just making these up right now.? Oghren : Nope. Been saving 'em.
I remember when I was little, when Fable, Dragon Age: Origins, Halo, the first Assassin's Creed and the Elder Scrolls' Morrowind and Oblivion were the games I used to play. The nostalgia whenever I hear any of those soundtracks is real. :'D (But let's be honest, Dragon Age is the best out of all those games. Hell, I still play it now.)
Dragon Age : Origins sure not this MMO semi-RPG inquisition is, i don't get why people praise it, actually i do games last year (2014) were total and absolute shit, an average game seems like a best game ever made in comparison, story is awesome, but gameplay is not my style , Bioware always finds a way to destroy any epic experience i might have had.
***** Why do you say it's MMO "semi" RPG? It's a good game, good companions, nice story, interesting combat. It might not be the greatest game ever, but it's a damn good game.
Hey, I saw your comment on Fable's OST as well! :D But I agree; Dragon Age: Origins is the best of the bunch: I played this game so much when I was, like, nine. The memories are real.
+Prince Abassi may I ask why dragon age 2 and inquisition aren't good? I started to play dragon age origins and I was thinking to buy 2 and inquisition until I heard 2 and inquisition are horrible.
Gamble Animations They basically converted the ip to a tactical rpg to an action rpg in disguise. The characters in those two games are also shit. They're essentially cardboard cutouts. The stories were also poorly written and unoriginal. Trust me, Origins was an incredible game with hundreds of hours worth of content. The other two were shit.
Dragon Age: Origins have something what Inquisition has not, it's something in the soundtrack, characters, storyline, and this make that Origin will always be the best part of DA for me :)
It's a game that was made by people with a story to tell. Just like the original Mass Effect. You can see the devs had a lot of fun making this game and they put their love in their work.
Inquisition lost the tragedy of Origins, and the believability and authenticity of it's characters, and the grit and cruelty of it's setting. It turned a dark tragedy with furious sparks of hope and humanity into the MCU, and it makes me sad.
@Benny Fair fax The combat is fine in Inquisition. It's more fast paced. Origins was more of a tribute to CRPG's. But Dragon Age isn't a CRPG. It never was.
@Benny Fair fax Remaster refers to an overhaul of the game's graphical fidelity, a _remake_ is what would ruin the gameplay - I agree with your comment though
The only thing that needs to be remade in the game is some of the melee attack speeds, two-handers are so dreadfully slow. The hit boxes could be better too sometimes.
I see some people here saying that DAO was so much better than the other DA games,but they can't pin point the feeling,let me help.The protagonist,the warden,he doesn't have a voice,you project your own character and voice onto him,he is you!,other games had characters as protagonists,in DAO,it was you! that's why all of it felt so much more personal,the freindships,alistair's stupidity,morrigan's bitchiness,wynne's care,their bickering,you felt so invested in that story.You have different views of the world depending on your origins,become a city elf and you see the oppression first hand,become a dwarf and you see an empire falling apart.DAO might be the first,but it was the most personal,and IMO the best music score.
You nailed it! We,each,entered this world personally and we each became the Warden. It was wonderful and still influences my opinion of all the following games.
10 years ago I became a grey warden and slayed the arch demon. I fell in love with the witch of the wilds and my best friend became king. I united the magi, dwemer and the elvish. I entered the fade and bought the remote to a golem. Nothing in my life has ever made me feel so important to a story than this and just at the tender age of 6 I had literally become legend (I named my character after me) in just a few weeks. I became the hero of feralden. WE are the hero’s of feralden. Cheers for being the best experience I’ve ever had DA. Maker watch over your spirit.
@@mohammadqasimawais9155 well my characters didnt wear armor cause it was funny seeing them run around in their undies so i thought the scenes were like that cause of that
Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition simply lack the sort of magic feel Origins had, it's hard to describe. Sort of like how Dark Souls 2 feels inferior to demon's souls or dark souls. This was BW in their prime imo
tazeris indeed the music in da 3 wasn't memorable at all, safe for that one mission where your stronghold or whatever gets attacked by corypheus. I hope Andromeda will bring back that BW magic for I really doubt it lol
God this game is such a masterpice, I can't picture any game topping this one, just listening to the music makes me think about all the epic quests, battles and storylines. Simply incredible
The first game is not only an adventure, it's an interactive story that leaves you pondering your choices, and reflecting upon them until the very end, where the chain of events leaves you with the desired result. I love games where your choices actually impact the world. I had joined with the Lady of the Forest, and led the cursed armies.
One of my favorite features, that many people forget sometimes, is the Camp. In the other 2 games you and your companions are so much spread out, but in Origins you are all at one place, on the same level.
If anyone was wondering the lyrics for "I Am the One" (2:45 and 56:02) they are: Elvish *English* Heruamin lotirien - *I feel sun through the ashes in the sky* Alai uethri maeria - *Where's the one who'll guide into the night* Halurocon yalei nam bahna - *What's begun is the war that will force this divide* Dolin nereba maome - *What's to come is fire and the end of time* Ame amin - *I am the one* Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost* Aloamin Heruamin - *I am the one who will live on* Heruamin oh lonai - *I have run through the fields of pain and sighs* Imwe naine beriole - *I have fought to see the other side* Ame amin - *I am the one* Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost* Aloamin Heruamin - *I am the one who will live on* Ame amin - *I am the one* Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost* Noamin - *I am the one who will live on* Ame amin - *I am the one* Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost* Noamin Heruamin - *I am the one who will live on*
Seriously. Orzammar's theme should be the national anthem of a country. You almost can feel the still ever-fading pride of the long lost dwarf kingdoms. Such melancholy.
Origins holds a very special place in my heart. Apart from all the amazing things it has, there's just this eary - almost warm and nostalgic feeling to it, despite the fact that i experienced it just a few years back for the first time and wasn't there in 2009 for launch... Aged like fine wine and still remains as one of the greatest video games ever made!
What a fantastic game this was, I'm honestly sad that they couldn't follow it up in the slightest with the following games. This game I finished around 8 times, and I had fun playing it a ton from 2009 to 2012. For 3 solid years I loved this game to death, the replay value was so good that it put Mass Effect to shame. It was just so good, so many of biowares releases afterwards was a complete destruction from what initally made their games so incredibly different from other games. That you choices had a bloody impact on the game. This game, I don't have words for it, they took some of the best parts of baldurs gate 2 and just made them even better, the impact of the romances, the way you could twist and turn absolutly. Let it be known that Origin was something they put 7 solid YEARS into starting in 2002. The reason Alistair and Morrigan were such amazing characters was because they spent YEARS developing them.That's why the following games were so incredibly bad, because they rushed through each game in less than two years, with DA2 announced in 2010 and released in 2011. I remmeber me and some friends being EXTREMLY sceptic towards it. Just looking at the difference between the look of the Ogre in DAO and DA2 was enough to prepare us for the cash in that was eventually coming out. the main reason i suppose for the sequels failure was that the team behind origins did not expect the game to become successful, and had never planned for sequels. Ironically since the name of it was "origins". But because it became a huge succes and incredibly high demands (quality games you know) the gears started running, and EA grinded their fangs deep inside the developers neck.
I would agree with you but the Dragon Age 2 maps come to mind when i want to agree with you. So I love many aspects of the trilogy but not parts of Dragon age 2.
There are many great game OSTs, but this is my favorite hands down. Every minute, every song... a wave of nostalgia. It doesn't stop for the entire one hour. No matter what people may now think of BioWare, I will never forget that it is they that made this game. Can't ever change that fact. Thank you BioWare, you're the best.
I never understood well what happened with EA and why they "took control" of Bioware's saga like DA. Especially after all the mourning for the changes and loss of quality. Someone explain me.
Those were the days when the century was young and the RPG genre was full of hope. Those were the days of The Witcher (I), Fallout 3 and Dragon Age: Origins. Those were the days of legend.
I got this game for Christmas in 2009. Sometime between Christmas and New Year I remember sitting in the living room with my parents after dinner, feeling actual honest-to-god butterflies in my stomach at the thought of going back up to my room and playing the game, because I already had a full on real life CRUSH on Alistair 😅🤦♀
Playing BG3 now and it is the first game to make me feel even close to the way I felt when first playing DAO. Lovely game with amazing characterization and depth, and the soundtrack to match.
Clara Walfaire I love this game too...I played again only the final battle(from battle of Redcliffe). This game is one of the best games...with each final fantasy or with Drakensang(1 and 2) or with Two worlds(1 and 2). But i don't like dragon age 2, i think Bioware could do much more!
dai music was alright the problem is that it only plays in cutsenes or some special missions,while in dao almost every place has differend battle/exploration music.
No fantasy game I ever play for the rest of my life will ever top this sound track. I remember being skeptical of the game because I was more into top down or birds eye view type stuff. Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate. It couldn't have taken more than just a few hours to fall in love with Origins. It's a shame they changed the "feel and vibe" in the other 2 installments. Felt like a totally different universe, if I'm being honest.
I was in the same boat you were in. I actually skipped playing Origins for years because I played BG and NWN way back and thought DA wouldn't compare. Finally got around to playing it and I was really impressed. Definitely captures some of that old magic. One of my favorite moments in the game was when it said "You must gather your party before venturing forth." Lost my shit when I saw that in Origins the first time.

Here my take on the DA series: DA Origins: It made you feel like your actions really do have consequences and you had to plan out everything. The tactical aspect of the game was amazing, taking few minutes to decide how you will go on with the fight. Character development was one of the best ive seen. I would plan out a story before starting the game for example on my 6th playthrough i was a night elf; the daughter of one of the guerrilla night elves in loghains army during the fereldan rebeliion. So my actions revolved around things that would help me win against the arch demon (helping templars, helping elves, making behran the king since he was more military minded and getting those awesome dwarves). Several heart wrenching moments in the game (battle of ostagar, Return to ostagar DLC, the last battle damn!) Overall amazing game DA 2: Okay this game was awesome in the start like the fighting style and all but seriously the repetitions got worse and worse (there was a time where i felt like quitting the game) the companions were okaish but i felt like they could have make their characters more rich in story. Overall okaish game but i couldnt play it the second time. DA Inq: They really out did themselves with this one. Vast open world, hundreds of side missions and great character development. The dragon fights were challenging (in nightmare mode ofcourse). However the character development wasnt upto the mark, hair choices were awful, voices did not match the character (my qunari sounded like a weak as human). Also i still dont know why i did all the things i did to improve my inq army when in the end it didnt matter at all. My castle was sexy as hell but it played no real role. The vast world was great and all but too many side quests that werent that interesting. The tactical aspect of the game was horrible!, i just went in and started attacking without any strategy and still won. Hopefully they plan out DA 4 really well combining the tactical and character development from Origin and battle and world aspect from inq
I don't agree that DA2 was okaish, it was total soulless lazy piece of crap. Wandering around a town, "gathering kittens from tries for grannies". It's like microscopic scale of problems. Empty soulless town. That was total disaster, I couldn't believe my eyes what they did to DA2 after DAO. Like always they had changed the crew for some lazy students to save money, I bet
@@Querens no, the crew was more or less the same, the problem was time. DA2 was initially planned as an expansion to DAO, EA decided that would be a stand alone game and they had to build the game from scratch in just a year
Probably one of the only games that I played and was captivated to the end, other than Skyrim. I tried 2 and 3 and they did not even come close. It really sucks when you like a game so much, and are excited for the sequels, and they fall flat on their faces. DAO is one of the best games ever!
Origins was by far the best game I have ever played.. ever. The score, characters and soundtracks, I genuinely believe nothing could topple it.. nothing can topple it still to this day. Its simplicity and it's guided straight forward storyline is exactly what made it such a masterpiece, and I think for that reason, we will never see it's like again. Its a shame, but at the same time I'm really glad I was there at the time it was released, and I'm very grateful that could experience it in it's full glory.
I still remember getting this game in the christmas markt of 2009....On my way home and as I opened the box I immediately got this feeling of enthusiasm....After dinner i installed it and it turned out to be one of the best game experiences ever....
I miss playing the game so I started to play again and I forgot how beautiful and wonderful the music is but it also made me cry cause its so lovely and wonderful but sad, very sad at the same time.
After I played this game, I was never the same. I did three play thru's, three different endings: choosing Alistair as sole king, making Alistair king and marrying him, and sacrificing myself by giving the Archdemon the final blow (making Alistair king, again 😂-- my first ever play through was the test run to see how the dynamics and end result looked like, leave me alone)...I think that one had me shook an entire week, the end description of what happens after the Warden's death was very emotional 😭❤️ I honestly want to play it again!!
the feel for DA:O was just eh best. every time the into music launched up - it just got me ready for a true tale and ballad of epicness the themes for each area were imbued with emotional content-which matched the race and area represented. WHAT A STORY - WHAT A GAME my favourite ever gaming experience
Patinho I almost had a heart attack. I thought you meant "eh at best". Boy was I ready to judge you lol, I apologize. Every time I hear the theme, I get in tears in my eyes and like you said, I get ready for a game laced with beautifully laced emotional content and epicness. I just love every single one of my companions and this game really does bring the Dark Fantasy genre glory to its name.
+Patinho lol that's very sweet of you :) But I will have to politely decline. I don't do online or long distance dating, esp. with someone (who is very nice, regardless) I don't know. But I hope that you will find someone!
So many memories of this game and the Awakening DLC... And the worst thing is that it'll never be the same again, I will never be 15 years old without a care in the world after coming home from school, being an introverted kid these games were so important to me in hindsight. When one day I save enough money for a high end PC I would love to try newer games such as Divinity or Pillars of Eternity, even though I'm afraid it just won't be the same feeling. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
I have played a lot of great games/franchises out there. A lot are my favorites too. The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Metal Gear Solid, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Resident Evil, Mass Effect (I love Shepard though), Yakuza, Persona, Final Fantasy VI - VII - VIII - IX - X, God of War, Zero Escape, Pathfinder, Suikoden 2, etc. Throughout all these years though, Dragon Age Origins is still my number one. ❤️
There are no words I can speak that can tell all of you how much I love this game, It is a masterpiece, and while what came after was good too, Dragon Age is only a shadow of how Legendary this first entry was, To this day , I still play this game and Love it just as much as the first time. "For Fereldan , for the Gray Wardennnnnns!!!!!" - Alistair
+Lelanka One of it´s kind, I haven´t played the other games, I heard DA 2 was horrible and Im not sure if I should try out the third one... But I really loved the variety in the first one, with subclasses and that your companions were actually interesting, that weapons and armor looked effing great and how your choices actually affected the story. Masterpiece in so many ways...
For me, origins was a masterpiece, Dragon age 2 had a decent story but wacky combat and Inquisition? Yeah, i can't even get past the first area because i get bored.
That would be good in case someone clicks on the video hoping to get the name of a song or two. The times at which each song appears would also be good, so you can actively select the song you want to listen to, for whatever reason.
It was december at 2009 and my dad said to me that he has a new game in the computer. I gave it a try. Now, i think it was the best decision that i could made. Since that day, now ten years, still a DA Fan :)
Each time you play any part of Dragon Age you make friends for life with the characters! It does feel like home, you get emotionally involved and can make decisions... The best game I have ever played. I'm 30h into Inquisition so far 😍
I'm going to try to get all the songs listed for ya, since Agent Sambora completely forgot about it (can't blame him for it because it sucks!) Keep in mind, i had to make this list from memory (been over a year since i last played), any helpful additions to this list are welcome!: (?) = not sure 0:00:01 title theme 0:02:45 I am the one (high fantasy version) 0:06:40 opening theme 0:09:49 elves at the mercy of men (?) 0:11:06 one of the dwarven origins themes(?) 0:12:16 (?) something about the circle of magi 0:14:00 (?) 0:15:20 (?) 0:16:35 Denerim (?) 0:17:50 Orzimar 0:19:07 0:20:00 Battle 0:21:30 (can't quite tell believe this part is related to the part where logan retreats) 0:26:04 Camp/character creation 0:26:44 battle (again) 0:27:45 battle (yet again) 0:28:47 Dalish Elves 0:30:00 (?) 0:32:04 Boss battle 0:33:04 Battle 0:34:07 Battle 0:37:29 Lothering Battle 0:39:44 Ferelden at War 0:42:36 Liliana's Song 0:45:04 (something dwarven related, i believe when the king gets crowned)(?) 0:46:30 and back to more battle music 0:47:45 another boss battle (?) 0:48:47 Ogre Battle 0:51:52 Archdemon Battle 0:55:00 (?) not sure about the name, plays when Alistair gets crowned king 0:56:00 I am the one (Dark fantasy version)
People speak poorly about DA 2 but it set the story for the third game perfectly. I absolutely love Origins and 2 because of the story and message behind it. Yes, 2 had it's fair share of problems but I respect the game and enjoyed greatly. Right now, I'm replaying Origins for the third time and can't wait until the third comes out. At least they're making Cullen look good.
The problem with DA2 isn't really the story, but more about the recycled areas, lack of customization(you can only upgrade companion armor and not change it) and the combat that has been simplified. I love DA2, but I have to agree with the critizism that some things are done really crappy.
HybrideZalm There are Mods on the Nexus to give armor slots to the companions. But I suppose only for PC. if you are intrested try: www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/searchresults/?src_order=2&src_sort=0&src_view=1&src_tab=1&src_language=0 DarkCloud
So many great memories with this game. Love the characters, love the music, love the feeling it gave me while working on the missions. Now I am 28 and get the feeling that I would love to get back to the times when I started playing this game. It was just an amazing experience.
I will never ever stop loving this absolute masterpiece.. It is one of the only, if not the only game I consider perfect in every way.. I genuinely cannot think of a single flaw!
I still personally think this was the best game out of the series. I loved the whole Grey Warden thing, wasn't a huge huge fan of the combat, but the story made that up for me! DA2.. I liked the combat and the story, just didn't like how limited the areas were. It felt really repetitive. DAI, I love this game too. I like the story and all the lore that's actually put into it. Things that happen in the previous games actually have an impact on it. ANDD finally so glad that Cullen has a big part rather than just a supporting character that doesn't have a big role! Overall, this would have to be my favourite game series.
The game of my life. It will never get old. And I dont think any game can give me that joy. When I was playing DAO for the first time I was using a special room scent in my room, years passed and I cant even remember the brand of the scent. But when I play DAO, I swear I smell the very same scent in my room, it is scraped to my brain. I want a REMAKE, not fucking new Dragon Ages in which your character speaks what you dont want him to say.
Listening to this makes me want to replay DA: Origins. I've replayed Inquisition countless of times and it's amazing but the first game still makes me nostalgic. :) And you can actually use more than 8 abilities! The only problem I have with Inquisition. All this cool abilities and just 8 slots... :/
This is a game with a soul... in other games you are the character that you playing but in this game, your character is you...The atmosfere, music, people around you...everything is like you are there.....I played the witcher 3, skyrim, dragon age inquisition... but none of them makes me feel that im there. Its like a portal from this world to dao world. I will miss you Morrigan and Alistair..
At 1:55, I get so choked by 100 different emotions at the same time that I twist my face all funnylike, and feel silly afterwards. But I remember it clear as yeasterday, and will always do: For Ferelden! Inqusition here I come.
Not just my #1 favorite game of all time,but the game that changed my view and life of gaming. I can't describe how incredible this game is,all I can say is this game(along with The Sims 2) requires the best of you in order to bring out the best of the game,which you really don't see that kind of bound/connection in gaming world...except all other BioWare games,LOVE them!

My favourite game of all time and one of the best soundtracks to a game. I really wish Inon Zur had done DAI's score as well. So much more epic and emotional sounding.
The music of this game is so beautiful! Dragon age series are really rich, epic and offers great moments to gamers! The only RPG medieval fantastic games as good as this one are The Elder Schrolls series and The Witcher! ;)
Experiencing this game felt like living an entire life worth of joy, pain, love, suffering and grief. Wouldn't trade that time for anything in this world.
I love them more than actual movie soundtracks. And the main difference is that you PLAY the game, so every piece reminds you a battle YOU fought, a love that YOU had, any adventure YOU lived.

+Fantasy Explorer Wow, Challenge An Arch Demon is one of the best "noisy" soundtrack. I really don't like this type of OST for 99% of the time but this is amazing. THAT'S what I call epic. No wonder why the Archdemon part was so good. The Common Dwarf is also pretty good.
wow! Thanks a lot :)
You're doing gods work son
thank you so so so much. Blessings of the Chantry to thee!
i cannot play this game again because no matter how many times i swear i will ~explore~ the different races-classes-endings i always end up making the same old choices
Yeah I always end up the same way too.
Seriously?
Yeah. I just can't be mean to Wynne (she's like my grandma
Wow... Actually, I've done none of those things, except side with Zathrian. I've also accepted Kolgrim's offer and despoiled the sacred ashes too (after saving a pinch for Arl Eamon.) I've also spared Logahin, on my first play-through, becasue my character believed in second chances. I was NOT prepared for the effect that had on poor Alistair, though. Let's see, other 'evil' choices.. I've sacrificed Isolde a few times to save Connor, though one time I have actually killed the poor boy... I've been a blood mage, but not by accepting the demon's offer in the Fade for the Connor quest. But you can buy the book in Awakenings, and after you get the unlocks, you have them forever. Hmm I have NOT yet sided with the werewolves in a "Let's kill Zathrian and all the elves" sort of way, yet, either. Perhaps someday.
Edit: Wait, now that I think on it, I HAVE sided with Zathrian and killed the Lady of the Forest and the werewolves.
I killed Zevran, sided with Zathrian, and became a blood mage D:
Everyone who still thinks a open world is needed for a good game should play this one.
@DevilTrigger The problem lies in open world games being open world for the sake of it, and the map is the size of an ocean with the depth of a puddle. This actually detracts the overall experience of the game. There are one too many open world games these days that have unecessarily large maps filled to the brim with pointless fetch quests that serve no meaningful purpose, acting only as filler. I'll take a linear and/or tight-knit world over an open world if it meant I'd get a quality > quantity experience. The two aren't mutually exclusive, no, but it is difficult for developers to be consistent on both sides.
Celestial Draconis *cough cough inquisiton cough*
@@CelestialDraconis Well said. It also becomes too fragmented and loses focus. Even if the story is great, doing too many side quests and exploring in-between loses the tension the story builds up, it becomes too slow and fragmented.
I personally never liked the limited world of DAO, or repetitiveness of DA2 or the absolute huge world without much to do in DAI. Literally none of them are great. If they DA4 does something like Skyrim, Witcher, etc it would be grand
actually i dont like open world cuz of same side-quest.
Best characters
Best storyline
Best combat
Best OST
Best classes
Best dialogue tree
Choices mattered more
Greatest Dragon Age game, sadly it will never be this good again as
99% of the people who worked on Origin are no longer at Bioware.
And hard choices
EA came in and sucked the soul out of bioware they will never again produce games such as origins or KOTOR
I like the idea of many of the combat stuff you could do. But dang I found combat to be such a chore and was only here for the story
There are many crpgs better in characters, storyline, rpg-mechanics and combat. What dragon age origins is exceptional at is being still good in all of these combined with cinematic story-telling. This is the key to its success. It translated the crpg genre from text boxes to a more aesthetic presentation. Later entries diverged from crpg elements, but also no other developer tried what origins did again until only very recently. In 2014 there was a revival of the crpg genre with many exceptional titles such as Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder, Divinity or Disco Elysium, but all were niche due to presentation. Now however with Baldurs Gate 3 we might have an RPG that combines the most core rpg-mechanics with a modern presentation.
I agree with almost all of that and I love origins. One of my favorite games and certainly my favorite Dragon Age. But I can't agree with best combat. It was the ONE thing I didn't like about it. Not enough to diminish the game though.
Origins with all it's expansions is still the best Dragon Age.
Yeah bro! After so many years I still enjoyed this game the most :)
I tried this after Inquisition and Sweet Baby Jesus this game is amazing...
Next will be 2 and Inquisition again!
For real haha
Amen bro.
up1 #100 woop wooop :D
I like magic, I like dragons, I like dark fantasy lore.......I love Dragon age.
Best game ever. Once you play, you are hooked..
I like trains (._.)
*****
One of the main points that they had back when origins came out with was {and I quote from the lead dev} "Its not just fantasy, its dark fantasy".
He said this in an interview while talking about what the races were like.
Also se the dragon age wiki, It is a dark fantasy.
I love Baldurs Gate, i like dragons, i like fantasy.....I love you
If you love Dark fantasty, you must play in Witcher.
fuck it i'm restarting.
lmfao
I just finished it again for like the 7th time, first playthrough as a elve mage, nailed it on nightmare.
Its almost 2018 I just heard this breath-taking music and now I am restarting too.
Sekipable ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) fuck i wanna play again

dWARVEN CRAFTS
One of the best RPG games ever
The best RPG ever in my opinion (followed by KotoR and Mass Effect)
Real Channel I have and unlike the Most other I read some books about it and played Part 1 and 2 but still I think DA:O is better
Say this. Say that.
Dragon age origins was an amazing adventure when i was a little kid the world was so unique compared to other games that were out at the time just wish it had a combat system similar to Elder Scrolls V: SKYRIM tho :/
Agreed. DAO is one of my favorite games of all time. Mass Effect 2 is right there with it.
Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls and Witcher... Three greatest fantasy RPGs
And Dark Souls, can't forget Dark Souls
Lewis Twiby Dark souls is really more of an action game than a RPG in my opinion.
True. When you think of it Dark Souls does fit more into action.
Diablo 2 anybody?
Is Diablo 2 any good? I've never played it.
Back when Bioware had a soul.
@Benny Fair fax Very true. They kill franchise after franchise.
Sadge
Honestly, I think there will never be a game I love as much as Dragon Age Origins. There are many other brilliant games out there, but none of them manages to captivate me as much as Origins did and still does. This game just feels so personal, like home 💕
skye Exactly
GazzaRover Or I simply found my favorite game 😂
I thought so too, until I tried The Witcher :P
DAO is better than The witcher :P
Saaame!
Most games give you one or two tingles down your spine from the sheer awesomeness of certain moments.
Dragon Age does that every 10 minutes.
This game made me genuinely laugh out loud on many occasions.
And I swear, that one time when I decided to go after Connor without taking out the demon in the Fade, then backed out at the last minute when Isolde begged me not to kill her baby...only for her to realize her son is already lost...and makes the choice to kill him.......wow.
I did not see that one coming at all.
@@Darkdaej I laughed a lot in this game. Especially to Alistair and Morrigan's interactions. God they're so funny.
@@afinoxi
Alistair: "What would you do if your mother died?"
Morrigan: "Before or after I stopped laughing?"
They had epic dialogue, but by far my favourite dialogue was between the Warden and Sten when you managed to get him to open up.
For instance:
Warden: Do you always have to be so literal?
Sten: It's a choice, not a necessity.
Warden: You're impossible!
Sten: I know.
@@Darkdaej lmao. I personally love the one between Sten and Leliana :
Leliana: I saw what you were doing back there.
Sten: Oh?
Leliana: Don't play innocent with me.
Sten: What are you talking about?Leliana :You. Playing with that kitten.
Sten: ...There was no kitten.
Leliana :Sten, I saw you. You dangling a piece of twine for it.
Sten : I was helping it train.
Leliana : You're a big softie!
Sten :We will never speak of this again.
Leliana : Softie!
And the one between Oghren and Allistair if you're in a relationship with Allistair :
Oghren : So. With the boss, aye?Alistair : Pardon?
Alistair : You and the boss. Rolling your oats.
Alistair : I don't know--
Oghren : Polishing the footstones.
Allistair : --what you're--
Oghren : Tapping the midnight still, if you will.
Alistair :What are you going on about?
Oghren : Forging the moaning statue. Bucking the forbidden horse. Donning the velvet hat.
Alistair : Are you just making these up right now.?
Oghren : Nope. Been saving 'em.
Best game of the last 15 years
I remember when I was little, when Fable, Dragon Age: Origins, Halo, the first Assassin's Creed and the Elder Scrolls' Morrowind and Oblivion were the games I used to play.
The nostalgia whenever I hear any of those soundtracks is real. :'D
(But let's be honest, Dragon Age is the best out of all those games. Hell, I still play it now.)
Dragon Age : Origins sure not this MMO semi-RPG inquisition is, i don't get why people praise it, actually i do games last year (2014) were total and absolute shit, an average game seems like a best game ever made in comparison, story is awesome, but gameplay is not my style , Bioware always finds a way to destroy any epic experience i might have had.
***** What exactly makes no sense?
***** Why do you say it's MMO "semi" RPG? It's a good game, good companions, nice story, interesting combat. It might not be the greatest game ever, but it's a damn good game.
Yeah, DAO is the first game that I've spent more than 60+ in-game hours playing it.
Hey, I saw your comment on Fable's OST as well! :D
But I agree; Dragon Age: Origins is the best of the bunch:
I played this game so much when I was, like, nine. The memories are real.
looks like it's time to CRY
nostalgia
seriously! I Miss the glory of this game, and it pains to know how poorly executed the sequels were
IT WAS SUCH A DIFFERENT more mysterious and mystical universe too, Now it feels so dumbed down.
YEAH I'M CRYING TOO DUDE
Moira Kadhan feels so distant and eerie now!
I swear I played origins like 25 hours a day ;D
And I still love it. Origins was one of the best things that could happen ^^
Emily Ak true
I saydo a remake of it onto current gen! I would buy it!
Emily Ak And then 2 and inquisition came and ruined the ip.
+Prince Abassi may I ask why dragon age 2 and inquisition aren't good? I started to play dragon age origins and I was thinking to buy 2 and inquisition until I heard 2 and inquisition are horrible.
Gamble Animations They basically converted the ip to a tactical rpg to an action rpg in disguise. The characters in those two games are also shit. They're essentially cardboard cutouts. The stories were also poorly written and unoriginal. Trust me, Origins was an incredible game with hundreds of hours worth of content. The other two were shit.
I don't care what other origin races I play as in DAI and beyond.... I'll always be Fereldan at heart
I know that because I have this incredible hate for orleseans that I can't put into words.
@@jonnyso1 It's the accent...God I hate their accent.
@@PlanetLovingMom It's french accent LOL
Natalia Elsik please never go to France lmao
@@jonnyso1 Orlesians stab each other in the back constantly and call it a game, while Fereldans stick up for one another no matter where they are.
Shit man... the feels. This game is so incredible..
Легенда... Огрен, Стэн, Морриган, Алистер, Лилиана, Зевран навсегда в сердце
Хоть у каждого среди них есть любимчики, но они все вместе в сердечке❤
Dragon Age: Origins have something what Inquisition has not, it's something in the soundtrack, characters, storyline, and this make that Origin will always be the best part of DA for me :)
It has a soul
It's a game that was made by people with a story to tell. Just like the original Mass Effect.
You can see the devs had a lot of fun making this game and they put their love in their work.
@@remove_marko Yes. Inquisition sold his from the beginning.
Inquisition lost the tragedy of Origins, and the believability and authenticity of it's characters, and the grit and cruelty of it's setting. It turned a dark tragedy with furious sparks of hope and humanity into the MCU, and it makes me sad.
Inquisition is just a dissapointment for DA even DA 2 had a better story telling, characters....
I'd love to see a remaster of this game. A remake would only break what is perfect.
@Benny Fair fax The combat is fine in Inquisition. It's more fast paced. Origins was more of a tribute to CRPG's. But Dragon Age isn't a CRPG. It never was.
@Benny Fair fax Remaster refers to an overhaul of the game's graphical fidelity, a _remake_ is what would ruin the gameplay - I agree with your comment though
Just give me an actual patch for Awakening and we're good.
The only thing that needs to be remade in the game is some of the melee attack speeds, two-handers are so dreadfully slow. The hit boxes could be better too sometimes.
@@codyriddle1424 two-handlers attack speed is exceedingly increased with magic buffs.
pray for Dunkan for ever in our hearts
I see some people here saying that DAO was so much better than the other DA games,but they can't pin point the feeling,let me help.The protagonist,the warden,he doesn't have a voice,you project your own character and voice onto him,he is you!,other games had characters as protagonists,in DAO,it was you! that's why all of it felt so much more personal,the freindships,alistair's stupidity,morrigan's bitchiness,wynne's care,their bickering,you felt so invested in that story.You have different views of the world depending on your origins,become a city elf and you see the oppression first hand,become a dwarf and you see an empire falling apart.DAO might be the first,but it was the most personal,and IMO the best music score.
You nailed it! We,each,entered this world personally and we each became the Warden. It was wonderful and still influences my opinion of all the following games.
Man that explanation gave me goosebumps.
put some damn spaces after your commas
Or maybe that the combat was better, better customization, better story, and less linear?
Shit man, you're so right! My all-time favorites are DA:O and Skyrim, and now I know why.
10 years ago I became a grey warden and slayed the arch demon. I fell in love with the witch of the wilds and my best friend became king. I united the magi, dwemer and the elvish. I entered the fade and bought the remote to a golem. Nothing in my life has ever made me feel so important to a story than this and just at the tender age of 6 I had literally become legend (I named my character after me) in just a few weeks. I became the hero of feralden. WE are the hero’s of feralden. Cheers for being the best experience I’ve ever had DA. Maker watch over your spirit.
6? What did you think of the sex scenes?
Played it round about at the same age and i still love it every time i think back at it. But it's a little bitte slow nowadays.. anyway I LOVE IT.
@@mohammadqasimawais9155 well my characters didnt wear armor cause it was funny seeing them run around in their undies so i thought the scenes were like that cause of that
Dwemer? Different game dude.😁
@@kanej8706 that's so amusing! 😆
In a good way, I mean 😊
Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition simply lack the sort of magic feel Origins had, it's hard to describe. Sort of like how Dark Souls 2 feels inferior to demon's souls or dark souls. This was BW in their prime imo
+Para Norm I think that DA2 has that feeling as well.
Drizzt Do Urden Mhm yeah, but not as much as the first game in my opinion :p. it's totally absent in DAI though :/.
tazeris indeed the music in da 3 wasn't memorable at all, safe for that one mission where your stronghold or whatever gets attacked by corypheus. I hope Andromeda will bring back that BW magic for I really doubt it lol
+Paradigm Shift Completely disagree I loved all of the soundtracks and found some of Inquisition's very memorable plus the tavern songs sounded great!
ZeroChaos76 hah yeah, different strokes for different folks I guess :p. To each his own!
God this game is such a masterpice, I can't picture any game topping this one, just listening to the music makes me think about all the epic quests, battles and storylines. Simply incredible
The first game is not only an adventure, it's an interactive story that leaves you pondering your choices, and reflecting upon them until the very end, where the chain of events leaves you with the desired result.
I love games where your choices actually impact the world.
I had joined with the Lady of the Forest, and led the cursed armies.
Exactly. It's rare these days that our choices leave such an impact on the development of the story in a game
One of my favorite features, that many people forget sometimes, is the Camp. In the other 2 games you and your companions are so much spread out, but in Origins you are all at one place, on the same level.
If anyone was wondering the lyrics for "I Am the One" (2:45 and 56:02) they are:
Elvish *English*
Heruamin lotirien - *I feel sun through the ashes in the sky*
Alai uethri maeria - *Where's the one who'll guide into the night*
Halurocon yalei nam bahna - *What's begun is the war that will force this divide*
Dolin nereba maome - *What's to come is fire and the end of time*
Ame amin - *I am the one*
Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost*
Aloamin Heruamin - *I am the one who will live on*
Heruamin oh lonai - *I have run through the fields of pain and sighs*
Imwe naine beriole - *I have fought to see the other side*
Ame amin - *I am the one*
Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost*
Aloamin Heruamin - *I am the one who will live on*
Ame amin - *I am the one*
Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost*
Noamin - *I am the one who will live on*
Ame amin - *I am the one*
Halai lothi amin - *Who can recount what we've lost*
Noamin Heruamin - *I am the one who will live on*
*Start to cry very loud*
is it in quenya or sindarin? which type of elvish? and where can we learn it?
Dragon Age Inquisition released a translated version of the song. Here, check it out: /watch?v=__hStdzoYVk
I think it's DALISH! The elven kind of the game. ^^
Wow I'd forgotten how good this soundtrack was! I gotta play this game again!
Spent the last the week (ok more like 3 days) re playing DAO.
TheDymed With the new game coming out soon I'm going back and playing everything from Dragon Age.
Well, after all these years, it's time to play it one more time!
Seriously. Orzammar's theme should be the national anthem of a country.
You almost can feel the still ever-fading pride of the long lost dwarf kingdoms.
Such melancholy.
EA couldn't go forth without utterly destroying the souls of this franchise...
Origins holds a very special place in my heart. Apart from all the amazing things it has, there's just this eary - almost warm and nostalgic feeling to it, despite the fact that i experienced it just a few years back for the first time and wasn't there in 2009 for launch...
Aged like fine wine and still remains as one of the greatest video games ever made!
Best game ever
What a fantastic game this was, I'm honestly sad that they couldn't follow it up in the slightest with the following games. This game I finished around 8 times, and I had fun playing it a ton from 2009 to 2012. For 3 solid years I loved this game to death, the replay value was so good that it put Mass Effect to shame. It was just so good, so many of biowares releases afterwards was a complete destruction from what initally made their games so incredibly different from other games.
That you choices had a bloody impact on the game.
This game, I don't have words for it, they took some of the best parts of baldurs gate 2 and just made them even better, the impact of the romances, the way you could twist and turn absolutly.
Let it be known that Origin was something they put 7 solid YEARS into starting in 2002.
The reason Alistair and Morrigan were such amazing characters was because they spent YEARS developing them.That's why the following games were so incredibly bad, because they rushed through each game in less than two years, with DA2 announced in 2010 and released in 2011.
I remmeber me and some friends being EXTREMLY sceptic towards it. Just looking at the difference between the look of the Ogre in DAO and DA2 was enough to prepare us for the cash in that was eventually coming out.
the main reason i suppose for the sequels failure was that the team behind origins did not expect the game to become successful, and had never planned for sequels. Ironically since the name of it was "origins". But because it became a huge succes and incredibly high demands (quality games you know) the gears started running, and EA grinded their fangs deep inside the developers neck.
I like the characters and story in the sequels. I like the games, awesome RPGs. Origins is by far the best though.
loved this game, played the second and im on inquisition now. I just love every aspect of this triology
I would agree with you but the Dragon Age 2 maps come to mind when i want to agree with you. So I love many aspects of the trilogy but not parts of Dragon age 2.
you bought inquisition or downloaded ?
Corrupted Archangel origins way better than DA2
blaaaww1 I think Origins is better than DA2 and DAI i loved Dragon Age Origins and its DLC too.
blaaaww1 i had to buy it, there is no crack for this game. but it was well spended
There are many great game OSTs, but this is my favorite hands down. Every minute, every song... a wave of nostalgia. It doesn't stop for the entire one hour. No matter what people may now think of BioWare, I will never forget that it is they that made this game. Can't ever change that fact. Thank you BioWare, you're the best.
bioware changed the world of gaming in their prime.
I never understood well what happened with EA and why they "took control" of Bioware's saga like DA. Especially after all the mourning for the changes and loss of quality. Someone explain me.
really cool but Rome: Total War is still my favourite
"You WERE the best"
Fixed it for you.
Those were the days when the century was young and the RPG genre was full of hope. Those were the days of The Witcher (I), Fallout 3 and Dragon Age: Origins. Those were the days of legend.
I'd add Baldur's Gate and Morrowind
No appreciation for Fable TLC and Fable 2?
Man you almost made me cry
The only dragon age game out there - Bioware at its prime! Good times.
We cannot appreciate Inon Zur enough. What a talented mastermind he is, fantastic music.
I got this game for Christmas in 2009. Sometime between Christmas and New Year I remember sitting in the living room with my parents after dinner, feeling actual honest-to-god butterflies in my stomach at the thought of going back up to my room and playing the game, because I already had a full on real life CRUSH on Alistair 😅🤦♀
Same. Fictional video game men have really set the bar too high xD
Playing BG3 now and it is the first game to make me feel even close to the way I felt when first playing DAO. Lovely game with amazing characterization and depth, and the soundtrack to match.
This was the last good game I ever played.
I started play this game again, because i love it so much! and i love this soundtrack... this game is the best of best for me :)
This game is a Mind Blast :D
Spring Squall hahahah agreed :D
Clara Walfaire I love this game too...I played again only the final battle(from battle of Redcliffe). This game is one of the best games...with each final fantasy or with Drakensang(1 and 2) or with Two worlds(1 and 2). But i don't like dragon age 2, i think Bioware could do much more!
way better then inquisition !! beautiful sound track for a beautiful game
+geroy57 inquisition is fkin SHIT... thah aint dragon age ... fuck that!!
+geroy57 Wayyyy better. DA:I not even close. Still better than DA2,but soooo tedious.
I couldn't have put it better myself. Perfect description.
dai music was alright the problem is that it only plays in cutsenes or some special missions,while in dao almost every place has differend battle/exploration music.

No fantasy game I ever play for the rest of my life will ever top this sound track. I remember being skeptical of the game because I was more into top down or birds eye view type stuff. Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate. It couldn't have taken more than just a few hours to fall in love with Origins. It's a shame they changed the "feel and vibe" in the other 2 installments. Felt like a totally different universe, if I'm being honest.
Agreed, that's just EA being EA. They ruined Mass Effects vibe with Andromeda, ruined Dead Spaces' vibe and many others. Damn them!
The game is the best Lord of the Rings type RPG i've ever played. And I've been playing em for over 30 years kiddos.
I was in the same boat you were in. I actually skipped playing Origins for years because I played BG and NWN way back and thought DA wouldn't compare. Finally got around to playing it and I was really impressed. Definitely captures some of that old magic. One of my favorite moments in the game was when it said "You must gather your party before venturing forth." Lost my shit when I saw that in Origins the first time.
Agreed. Same with mass effect, after 2, they sucked

Here my take on the DA series:
DA Origins: It made you feel like your actions really do have consequences and you had to plan out everything. The tactical aspect of the game was amazing, taking few minutes to decide how you will go on with the fight. Character development was one of the best ive seen. I would plan out a story before starting the game for example on my 6th playthrough i was a night elf; the daughter of one of the guerrilla night elves in loghains army during the fereldan rebeliion. So my actions revolved around things that would help me win against the arch demon (helping templars, helping elves, making behran the king since he was more military minded and getting those awesome dwarves). Several heart wrenching moments in the game (battle of ostagar, Return to ostagar DLC, the last battle damn!) Overall amazing game
DA 2: Okay this game was awesome in the start like the fighting style and all but seriously the repetitions got worse and worse (there was a time where i felt like quitting the game) the companions were okaish but i felt like they could have make their characters more rich in story. Overall okaish game but i couldnt play it the second time.
DA Inq: They really out did themselves with this one. Vast open world, hundreds of side missions and great character development. The dragon fights were challenging (in nightmare mode ofcourse). However the character development wasnt upto the mark, hair choices were awful, voices did not match the character (my qunari sounded like a weak as human). Also i still dont know why i did all the things i did to improve my inq army when in the end it didnt matter at all. My castle was sexy as hell but it played no real role. The vast world was great and all but too many side quests that werent that interesting. The tactical aspect of the game was horrible!, i just went in and started attacking without any strategy and still won.
Hopefully they plan out DA 4 really well combining the tactical and character development from Origin and battle and world aspect from inq
I don't agree that DA2 was okaish, it was total soulless lazy piece of crap. Wandering around a town, "gathering kittens from tries for grannies". It's like microscopic scale of problems. Empty soulless town. That was total disaster, I couldn't believe my eyes what they did to DA2 after DAO. Like always they had changed the crew for some lazy students to save money, I bet
@@Querens no, the crew was more or less the same, the problem was time. DA2 was initially planned as an expansion to DAO, EA decided that would be a stand alone game and they had to build the game from scratch in just a year
@@beniaminorocchi "we will make you cry"(C) old EA moto
When art is inspired and free to flourish, it can bloom in full. Thank you Bioware.
Probably one of the only games that I played and was captivated to the end, other than Skyrim. I tried 2 and 3 and they did not even come close. It really sucks when you like a game so much, and are excited for the sequels, and they fall flat on their faces. DAO is one of the best games ever!
Origins was by far the best game I have ever played.. ever. The score, characters and soundtracks, I genuinely believe nothing could topple it.. nothing can topple it still to this day. Its simplicity and it's guided straight forward storyline is exactly what made it such a masterpiece, and I think for that reason, we will never see it's like again. Its a shame, but at the same time I'm really glad I was there at the time it was released, and I'm very grateful that could experience it in it's full glory.
thumbs up for elf mage!
Beautiful music, brilliant game. One of the best I've ever played.
I still remember getting this game in the christmas markt of 2009....On my way home and as I opened the box I immediately got this feeling of enthusiasm....After dinner i installed it and it turned out to be one of the best game experiences ever....
What'id do for experiencing the first time again
Awesome 👌
I miss playing the game so I started to play again and I forgot how beautiful and wonderful the music is but it also made me cry cause its so lovely and wonderful but sad, very sad at the same time.
This game is very epic...I'm starting a fresh game tonight. :)
Fun!!!
shaolin dynasty YEAH!!!
im replaying this again after inq and 2, and it is without a doubt the best of the trilogie.. epic
After I played this game, I was never the same. I did three play thru's, three different endings: choosing Alistair as sole king, making Alistair king and marrying him, and sacrificing myself by giving the Archdemon the final blow (making Alistair king, again 😂-- my first ever play through was the test run to see how the dynamics and end result looked like, leave me alone)...I think that one had me shook an entire week, the end description of what happens after the Warden's death was very emotional 😭❤️
I honestly want to play it again!!
My girlfrend likes Alistair too. But the dudes love Morrigan. 😉
Nice 👍
the feel for DA:O was just eh best. every time the into music launched up - it just got me ready for a true tale and ballad of epicness
the themes for each area were imbued with emotional content-which matched the race and area represented.
WHAT A STORY - WHAT A GAME
my favourite ever gaming experience
Patinho I almost had a heart attack. I thought you meant "eh at best". Boy was I ready to judge you lol, I apologize. Every time I hear the theme, I get in tears in my eyes and like you said, I get ready for a game laced with beautifully laced emotional content and epicness. I just love every single one of my companions and this game really does bring the Dark Fantasy genre glory to its name.
+RabbitGirl do you want to date me? If you look anything like daenerys you can! Actually you taste in video games in music has prequalified you!
+RabbitGirl (typos on my iPhone....!)
+Patinho lol that's very sweet of you :) But I will have to politely decline. I don't do online or long distance dating, esp. with someone (who is very nice, regardless) I don't know. But I hope that you will find someone!
So many memories of this game and the Awakening DLC... And the worst thing is that it'll never be the same again, I will never be 15 years old without a care in the world after coming home from school, being an introverted kid these games were so important to me in hindsight. When one day I save enough money for a high end PC I would love to try newer games such as Divinity or Pillars of Eternity, even though I'm afraid it just won't be the same feeling.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Pathfinder:WoR is beutiful crpg
2009-2019...decade later still epic...
I have played a lot of great games/franchises out there. A lot are my favorites too. The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Metal Gear Solid, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Resident Evil, Mass Effect (I love Shepard though), Yakuza, Persona, Final Fantasy VI - VII - VIII - IX - X, God of War, Zero Escape, Pathfinder, Suikoden 2, etc.
Throughout all these years though, Dragon Age Origins is still my number one. ❤️
This really makes me want to play it again.
honestly I don’t need friends I just need dragon age :D ❤️ really . this is my life.
Same haha especially with Alistair in it
I could do without Alistair.
A lot of great memories with this game.
There are no words I can speak that can tell all of you how much I love this game, It is a masterpiece, and while what came after was good too, Dragon Age is only a shadow of how Legendary this first entry was, To this day , I still play this game and Love it just as much as the first time.
"For Fereldan , for the Gray Wardennnnnns!!!!!" - Alistair
Best cRPG I've ever played, 2009/2010 was a great time to be a gamer.
DA: Origins = masterpiece (of my fave RPG games), Dragon Age 2 = side game, DA: Inquisition great game, but without our lovely Warden :(
+Lelanka These are exactly my thoughts :)
Majka Nagyová :)
+Lelanka One of it´s kind, I haven´t played the other games, I heard DA 2 was horrible and Im not sure if I should try out the third one... But I really loved the variety in the first one, with subclasses and that your companions were actually interesting, that weapons and armor looked effing great and how your choices actually affected the story. Masterpiece in so many ways...
For me, origins was a masterpiece, Dragon age 2 had a decent story but wacky combat and Inquisition? Yeah, i can't even get past the first area because i get bored.
G Studios the Hinterlands are the worst, I agree with DA2, the combat is wacky but IMO the most fun of the series
One of the best games ever! I'm replaying it now, as a noble dwarf. Best origin in my opinion. :D
You know what would be awesome? If the people who upload the full soundtracks put the names of the songs in the description.
That would be good in case someone clicks on the video hoping to get the name of a song or two. The times at which each song appears would also be good, so you can actively select the song you want to listen to, for whatever reason.
***** ni chuj
***** Origins to nawet lepszy niż Gothic.
+Abuyin ibn Djadir Can you give me a prophecy?
+Abuyin ibn Djadir Yes,please!
It was december at 2009 and my dad said to me that he has a new game in the computer. I gave it a try. Now, i think it was the best decision that i could made. Since that day, now ten years, still a DA Fan :)
What do you think about the sequals? I love dragon age origins but I don't know if I should buy the other 2 games
Each time you play any part of Dragon Age you make friends for life with the characters! It does feel like home, you get emotionally involved and can make decisions... The best game I have ever played. I'm 30h into Inquisition so far 😍
I'm going to try to get all the songs listed for ya, since Agent Sambora completely forgot about it (can't blame him for it because it sucks!)

Thank you!!
People speak poorly about DA 2 but it set the story for the third game perfectly. I absolutely love Origins and 2 because of the story and message behind it. Yes, 2 had it's fair share of problems but I respect the game and enjoyed greatly.
Right now, I'm replaying Origins for the third time and can't wait until the third comes out. At least they're making Cullen look good.
The problem with DA2 isn't really the story, but more about the recycled areas, lack of customization(you can only upgrade companion armor and not change it) and the combat that has been simplified. I love DA2, but I have to agree with the critizism that some things are done really crappy.
HybrideZalm
There are Mods on the Nexus to give armor slots to the companions.
But I suppose only for PC.
if you are intrested try: www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/searchresults/?src_order=2&src_sort=0&src_view=1&src_tab=1&src_language=0
DarkCloud
And now we can hate DA2 again, seeing how Dragon Age Inquisition is shit. Bioware is losing their shit.
Did you like inquisition?
I have replayed origin 20+ times. And uninstalled DA2 after 1 hour of gameplay.
The trilogy was then over for me.
I remember that I cried when Alister left me and when i sacrificed my Warden girl in the end.... This game will always be in my heart.
So many great memories with this game. Love the characters, love the music, love the feeling it gave me while working on the missions. Now I am 28 and get the feeling that I would love to get back to the times when I started playing this game. It was just an amazing experience.
Господи, на эту музыку как у собаки Павлова - рефлекс уже) Значит впереди ждёт 3-4-5 часов классно потраченного времени.
i think i'll just go replay the whole damn trilogy once again.....
I will to :)
I will never ever stop loving this absolute masterpiece..
It is one of the only, if not the only game I consider perfect in every way.. I genuinely cannot think of a single flaw!
Bioware 2006 vs Bioware 2017. Bioware 2006 spits on the latter.
I still personally think this was the best game out of the series. I loved the whole Grey Warden thing, wasn't a huge huge fan of the combat, but the story made that up for me!
DA2.. I liked the combat and the story, just didn't like how limited the areas were. It felt really repetitive.
DAI, I love this game too. I like the story and all the lore that's actually put into it. Things that happen in the previous games actually have an impact on it. ANDD finally so glad that Cullen has a big part rather than just a supporting character that doesn't have a big role!
Overall, this would have to be my favourite game series.
The game of my life. It will never get old. And I dont think any game can give me that joy.
When I was playing DAO for the first time I was using a special room scent in my room, years passed and I cant even remember the brand of the scent. But when I play DAO, I swear I smell the very same scent in my room, it is scraped to my brain.
I want a REMAKE, not fucking new Dragon Ages in which your character speaks what you dont want him to say.
This and the Witcher series are RPGs that define games
Add Elder Scrolls to that
and gothic
Skyrim is a joke.
yo mama is a joke
Fallout 1 & 2, Baldur’s Gate, KOTOR, Planescape: Torment.
I haven't played this game in years, opened this video because why not. Now all my hairs are standing up.
it was so fucking epic
Listening to this makes me want to replay DA: Origins. I've replayed Inquisition countless of times and it's amazing but the first game still makes me nostalgic. :) And you can actually use more than 8 abilities! The only problem I have with Inquisition. All this cool abilities and just 8 slots... :/
This is a game with a soul... in other games you are the character that you playing but in this game, your character is you...The atmosfere, music, people around you...everything is like you are there.....I played the witcher 3, skyrim, dragon age inquisition... but none of them makes me feel that im there. Its like a portal from this world to dao world.
I will miss you Morrigan and Alistair..
Exactly. You really feel like you're in this world and the companions are your friends. Haven't found another game like that neither :(
I will never forget this game. It will always have a special place in my heart.
At 1:55, I get so choked by 100 different emotions at the same time that I twist my face all funnylike, and feel silly afterwards. But I remember it clear as yeasterday, and will always do: For Ferelden! Inqusition here I come.
Dragon Age Origins was simply sensational. The best game for a start a great RPG Zaga
Alistair and morrigan is the only reason I play this game over and over again
Not just my #1 favorite game of all time,but the game that changed my view and life of gaming. I can't describe how incredible this game is,all I can say is this game(along with The Sims 2) requires the best of you in order to bring out the best of the game,which you really don't see that kind of bound/connection in gaming world...except all other BioWare games,LOVE them!

My favourite game of all time and one of the best soundtracks to a game. I really wish Inon Zur had done DAI's score as well. So much more epic and emotional sounding.
The music of this game is so beautiful! Dragon age series are really rich, epic and offers great moments to gamers! The only RPG medieval fantastic games as good as this one are The Elder Schrolls series and The Witcher! ;)
I stopped listening to this after a few minutes. After all these years, my poor fragile heart just can't
funny how the most replayed part is prob people restarting the video lol
when it's been years and years and you haven't touched any media related to the game at all in that time... and then you find the soundtrack.
Experiencing this game felt like living an entire life worth of joy, pain, love, suffering and grief. Wouldn't trade that time for anything in this world.
is it me or has anyone else noticed how epic and wonderous videogame soundtracks actually are?
Far better than film soundtracks.
And don't get me started on the books... *sigh*
I love them more than actual movie soundtracks. And the main difference is that you PLAY the game, so every piece reminds you a battle YOU fought, a love that YOU had, any adventure YOU lived.
since dandy days
Origins ost is just wonderful,love it.game as well.
