Joshua Derr I am aware of that, some of my favorite games is KoTOR and KoTOR 2 which I think are very strategic games, but I personally enjoy in Dragon Age it being a choice, I haven't used the the strategy view in DA:I much I don't know if it sucks or not. I'm not enjoying how BioWare is changing, (I blame EA) they're becoming less RPG and more Fantasy/Action Games with a very heavy story. I'll still play the games and enjoy them too because I love the stories and universe, but I certainly didn't like the lack of dialogue options, choices, and cutscene type conversations in DA:I, along with major RPG elements taken away
Shin Garugamesh I'm pretty sure I said I didn't like it much and if I didn't then... I don't like it, my questlog is 90% Hinterlands and 10% everything else, waaay too many sidequests, it does make me feel like I'm playing World of Warcraft
"this game had a soul". This is my main issue with DA Inquisition. I found no soul in it in all of the huge areas. DA2 was a tragic mess, but it was a technical mess that had a soul buried in it. Inquisition was just a shiny game... I mean, the Jaws of Haakon DLC gave me more emotions than the main game. What's up with that.
@@olirikable Yes, sadly DAI it feels weird, empty. Not really a bad game, but i feel they could have done it better and more lore friendly. I don’t think DA4 will be much better.
@@olirikable I disagree. the main story, companions, soundtrack and arts in inquisition were really good. I think where the game fell short is in the side content and combat system. It's just a massive downgrade in depth and customization compared to origins.

Sour i pity you, there are such good mods for this game it feels like playing an improved modern version. il give you an example just to make you jelaous, if i side with the templars i can tell gregoir that morrigan is an apostate and that she should be killed, then she insults you and flees forever while fighting her way out.
@@mellamanq I Play on PC too but if you overhaul this game enough to be called a remaster EA WILL SHUT IT DOWN I guarantee it. lol Look at KOTO Apeiron.
DA:O was one of those rare games that write themselves into your heart and you never forget them. I still remember when I finished the game and end titles rolled down and I started crying. I did not want it to end: I did not want to leave the story.
I am like you bro…I love this game I can’t believe I haven’t played it until this late 😭 I completed the series and I have to say this game is so so close to the heart, even tho DAI had a very decent story and compelling character storylines.
The reason its so rare is because this game had a total of 6-10 years development time (I've seen multiple sources cite different amount of years so its hard to say for sure). Compare this to DA2 only had a year and a half (Production lasted just nine months). Dragon Age Inquisition was a total of 4 years with 3 years of Production.
@@arcticdream4905 I don't see how mentioning Neverwinter Nights and KOTR without any context is relevant in your argument? And I lit already said it was somewhere 6-10 years based on multiple sources. I know one of the writers David Gaider said in a eurogamer interview he was at least busy with it the game for 6 years. The Wiki pages quotes a source saying development for the first Demo started in 2002 (the game released in 2009) meaning the game took at least 7 years to develop. This doesn't even take preproduction into account as they are talking about development of a demo in 2002. Which is why it probably took more then 7 years.
+Michiify am I only around here, who dislikes DA3 controls? Seriously, 'tactic overwiev' shows less then third person. third person required moveing by 'wasd' and keep attacks. Binary AI customizations... Dragon Age was like Baldur's Gate, and now...? IMO, DA2 is more likely to DA1 than DA3.
The Corpulent Panda I can't agree at all. Inquisition have great story, i love beeing herold, and my advaisors, full open world, and details like portraits of my companions... I just can't stand battle system. In fact, team do what they will, Tactics only allow them to use abbilities, not depend on situation like previous games. In third person, you play like some hack'n'slash, and 'tactical' view shows even less then default view. DA2 was great refresh, mindfull battles, with cool looks. in DAI, it's more like keeps you character attack.
0:00 - 0:50 Welcome to the rich world of Dragon age 0:50 - 1:20 Ostagar 1:20 - 1:35 Ostagar aftermath 1:35 - 1:55 Gathering allies 1:55 - 2:37 For the Grey Wardens!! 2:37 - 2:51 The final battle This is how i picture it :D
EXACTLY especially the Ostagar aftermath part, the music turns to melancholic like in Flemeth's hut and Alistair's grief over losing Duncan. "For the Grey Wardens" part also reminds me of the march to Denerim and the speech of soon-to-be King Alistair (in my version).
If you are reading this and haven't played this game yet, I want you to know that I envy you. What I wouldn't give to load this masterpiece up for the first time again. One hell of a farewell from old Bioware.
rip kotor, neverwinter nights, baldur's gate, and dragon age, rip Bioware, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. your betrayal to EA will also never be forgotten.
The only downside of the "first time" is its very difficult on first timer. Remember the first town? There is an encounter which you battle 20+ damn wolves. I know it sounds easy but believe me, wolves here in orgins can stunlock your whole party.
@@shikarileto191baulders gate 3 is just as woke as DAV but atleast it's fun to play and pleasant to look at. I cannot speak for path of exile 2 but I do have fond memories of path of exile 1.
I just finished Veilguard, i pirated it, im not paying for that zombie identifying as Dragon age. It had some good moments, but over all its just a movie on rails that you can color a bit with lines and unappealing companions. Solas memories was a high note, because it touched on Origins questions we wanted to know. And the ending was Epick but over all after finishing it i feel sad that, that is the Dragon age we got when there was this potential for greatness.
@Dexyu there is nothing good about the story or the lore. The elves did everything and Southern Thedas is completely destroyed. Also spooky Illuminati ghosts were behind everything. If they don't decanonize Veilguard this franchise is done.
Best game in the RPG Genre. Sure the graphics are dated, BUT STORY! CHARACTERS! VOICE ACTING! Love them all. Love the characters. This soundtrack tells a lot of the story in it of itself.
I had played Dragon Age: Inquisition recently. It was my first introduction to the series lol. So many people told me that I needed to play Dragon Age: Origins as well. So, with no particular feelings one way or the other. I got the game. It loaded up. And I heard this. I was so taken by the song, my mouth literally dropped open and I sat there for 5 minutes just listening to this main theme. Honestly, this is probably one of the most beautiful themes I have ever heard in my life. Being musically inclined, I love when video games have really good music design. And just by listening to this music, I was in complete awe. I've never heard anything quite like this. I just had to look this song up on TH-cam lol.
@@stronk8107 Yes! It’s hauntingly beautiful. Probably one of the best opening themes of any video game. I don’t think any other opening has captured me the way this song does 😌
If you have such love and appreciation for music in games and especially breathtaking iconic ones that stand out you should absolutely try Halo, honestly if you haven’t since you wrote that comment 4 years ago I’ll be amazed😄 halo’s an iconic legacy over soon to be its 20th anniversary it’s got powerful epic and emotional music I think you’d appreciate 🙂
@@FizCap I mean ultimately Witcher 3 destroyed every AAA title ever made, became the best RPG game to do date and arguably could be the game of the decade. But my god, regardless this game just has something nostalgic, special, beautiful. As everyone else says, it has soul. Strange because no other game has the same thing to the point where a memory actually feels real (except for Witcher 3 possibly).
For real man, ive seen some compare baulders gate 3 to DAO, while allot of old bioware did work on that game, its characters just aren't on the level of this game (dragon age orgins story blows BG3s to high hell)
@@delta2372 I actually agree. Trying to play BG3 and it just bores me. Can't get past Act 1. Some of the quests just seem clunky. Especially Gobln Camp. I completed DAO with every ending....that is how good that game is.
@@mrfreeman2911 act 1 Is definitely a slog to get through, now it's normal for any games opening acts to usually be slow since it's the big build to the larger story and while it does pick up in the next act, the problem is that BG3 has allot of clunk to it, DAO had that aswell but the difference comes down to the writing. DAO depending on your origin you had a major life changing event and join an order of warriors dedicated to preventing the end of world form a demonic threat that is limitless and the subsequent massacre at ostagar you have one hell of an intro for DAO before you get into the one slow part of the early game that being the first village you go to. BG3 has it's "origins" aswell but it more or less plays out the same and instead of one bombastic intro to get things started, you have one very long slog to get through the entire early game before you get into the meat of it, while it must have done something right winning game of the year, you generally want to make things as exciting and engaging for the player in your opening act lest people drop it.
@@delta2372 Nostalgia. As someone who has played BG3 recently and finished it and is currently over 20 hours into Dragon Age Origins cause I wanted to try it out, BG3 destroys Dragon Age Origins. BG3 has better companions and the story is just as good, the level of detail is so good that I have already started multiple play throughs. Dragon Age Origins is fantastic but I don't see myself playing a second play through. The current Bioware should learn something from what BG3 did and get inspired for their next Dragon Age game cause I doubt Veilgurd is going to be as good as BG3
@@delta2372 Have you not played the Dark Urge origin? It's probably the best Origin in the game and you feel so involved in the story because you have a part in the game like the other companions and the world reacts to you. I am currently playing the Dragon Age Origins human backstory and my background doesn't really do much except for providing an explanation for companions and some NPC while in the Baldurs Gate 3 Dark Urge Origin you're known, you're feared by some, you're hated by others and you had some questionable alliances in the past. Your companions also show concern for your condition and you can either submit to your urge or overcome it and be good, it's a fantastic redemption story if you play the good route.
@@normanselva6397 you evidently know nothing of non-binary people, and that the gender could be changeable depending on what the warden was created as.
@@DonMadruga72 Ver/Vey, as odd as it may seem, is actually a gender. It is a niche form of a person neither male nor female, typically seen as the alternate form of being non-binary (using they/them).
watch wardens calling video/read in game books for origins it says it the way I put it. I t also makes more sense, In peace they are vigilant looking for possible trouble and in war when it arises they are victorious and when they die during war or going into the deep roads it is great sacrifice. So yeah lore bitch lol.
I did name him Wolverine, make him look like Wolverine, made him a dual-wielding rogue, and I still remember vaguely having found that dwarf god lady person by some chance and got 4 big golems as my allies instead of the dwarves in the final battle.. Ahhhh....
Goodbye you were one of my early loves, you brought me many beautiful memories but your remains are being desecrated and there is nothing i can do to stop them.
Ahhh BioWare.... you truly are a lost cause since 2012 eh? The days of your glory are long since gone, remembered by those who played during it, now you are just like a Husk from Mass Effect, a mindless creature, and we are the bullets that will put you out of your misery.
When this song played and the final battle began, I was shook. All the effort to bring Grey Wardens back from ashes fo traitors, to the point where everyone cheered you on like a savior, the sense of fulfillment was grand beyond words.
I discovered this game for the first time ever a few weeks back.. And boy i never felt such emotions for a game. That i could play it forever and still feel those intense emotions.
I missed it way back. Started a new game for the first time last week and I've been utterly hooked. I'm doing a wabbajack modlist so all the textures etc are all 4k and QoL features. Unreal.
The more time passes the more i appreciate this game. It scratched my nostalgic itch for old-school cRPGs back in 2009, and now it's become one of those games i feel nostalgic for. The only Dragon Age game i ever played and i'll keep it this way.
Most of use moved onto BG3 and Larian. Bioware and EA k1lled this franchise. Origins was the best game I ever played. They ruined this franchise so hard.
@@I_hunt_lolis Let me put it like this: Gibberish is a string of sounds that is made to get a certain sound or feel across, but the individual sounds and "words" don't mean anything. Many fantasy soundtracks use this to make epic sounding choirs, but the lyrics they sing are just there to sound cool. A conlang, like any natural language, is comprised of a set of specified sounds, rules on how to string these sounds together, and those form individual morphemes, or units of meaning. With these units of meaning, you can then build full words and sentences. Therefore, it's not gibberish anymore. I don't know to what extent Elvehn was constructed and how consistent the grammar is, but I do know that there's at least some regularity.
after having the game for nearly 3 years, I finally sat down and played it for the first time this past week. I had started with DAI back in 2018, played 2 for the first time a few months ago, and now I finally got to play origins. Yes, I am incredibly tardy to the party. And while I'm mad at myself for not buying these back when they originally came out, I feel like because I waited til now?? I could fully appreciate these games. I'm replaying the whole series in order, now, and just. It's so nice to truly grasp everything now that i've played them all. I picked up stuff over the years (even before playing), but now having played first-hand....? just,,, wow. Origins takes the fuckin cake, man. I don't think I can rank them/choose a favourite, as they all play differently for me, but wow. Origins blew me away. Hearing this play in-game for the first time gave me chills. Listening to it now and fully appreciating this game? Still giving me chills. f u c k
Origins is one of my favorite games and only DA game i enjoyed i tried Inqusition like 3 or 4 times but story and characters are not interesting in my opinion atmosphere is also completly different than in DAO i completed DA2 once but dont want to play this game ever again.
I say the same as one who played this and future series. What the hell happened with developers? Where have been perished that good team who made this master piece?! Don't give a fuk on graphics when the story and gameplay is 0.
@@ovidiu-georgesaghin1378 2 letters: EA. This was released shortly after their acquisition by EA, which means that they had already been developing it. Then EA went their own direction with the game.
@@ovidiu-georgesaghin1378 the old writing team behind the dragon age and mass effect left Bioware. The problems began since Dragon age 2 with Eas involvement, me Andromeda production hell from a team inside of Bioware that worked only on me3 multiplayer, the lack of support on Anthem. All this led to Bioware to become a shadow of its former self. Thankfully Bioware didn't close yet and I'm afraid for the future the reception for Veil guard is lacking but I think the only good thing that came out from the EAs money are the money that Bioware spend to make Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 2 I don't think without them we could have got both masterpieces.
@@ovidiu-georgesaghin1378bioware has been around for almost 3 decades now. That’s an insane amount of time for anybody to stick with one project based company, let alone a cohesive team of people. Add the rise of HR culture to the mix, and you get degradation and rot that turns creative projects to shit.
It's been seven years. This theme still gives me chills. I think every game in this franchise was excellent, but Origins seemed particularly special to me. I'm not sure if there's any particular reason other than it being our introduction to the setting, but everything about it just seemed awesome.
So many memories. The game was so good and had so much personality that I had the pleasure of playing with other classes and races just to get a different (and rewarding) gaming experience. Besides the characters having interesting and diverse profiles, the dialogues had authenticity and quality. It was easy for the player to get involved in history and with "people" like that.
Everytime I hear this theme, I have a flashback of that one scene where if you were a human noble, your father's spirit comes to give you a message about how your destined for greatness. I just feel the music is a key factor in emphasizing this epic and immense journey that DA:O sends you on, reminding you how pivotal your role in it all is.
I am playing this game right now for the first time and I've got to admit that it's much better than I expected, it is awesome and this is without any doubts one of the best themes I've ever heard in a videogame, it's simply amazing. The first time I heard it when I opened the game it was like: My god, it is simply delicious. What a great game!!
Sorry but I'm gonna say it. Dragon Age 2 *didn't* suck. Granted it was nowhere near as good as Dragon Age Origins, but it's completely foolish to say the game was garbage. The story had great setup for Inquisition, while also telling the tale of a completely new character and a rise to glory in the aftermath/sorta during what was to be the (possible) destruction of all life. Was it amazing? No. Was it bad? No. It was too different for some people, and that's okay. But I admire Bioware for trying something different than they ever had before storywise. People need to stop hating on a game that doesn't deserve it.
Well, here's some of the reasons I hated DA2 if you want : - No origin system anymore - Whole game setup is in the same ugly city - Plot is terrible (in my opinion). You go from saving the world in DAO to dealing about quarrels between mages and templars in one city, and getting some social elevation - Gameplay went from strategy + difficulty to button mashing + AOE spamming - Speaking of fights, ennemies spawn by packs of 20. Like, in DAO you were like "oooooo a demon!", here you're like "ffs that's the 10th pack of demons I killed today". You also kill more bandits than there seems to be inhabitants in this city - Game is short (although in this particular case, it was a good thing) - Once again that's only my opinion, all the characters except Varric seemed boring to me - To end with, like many comments say here, DAO had a soul, DA2 had none. You don't feel the magic I never hated a game sequel in my life as much as I did with DA2. There was literally nothing good about this game, except maybe the Qunaris.
The story never went anyway until the very end..... and then the game was suddenly over. I mean, if you just take it as a single game it was pretty fucking terrible... But you seem to consider it as a longer prequel to DA:I
My only complaint about Dragon Age 2 was due to how linear it was but other than that, to me it was a PERFECT followup to origins in terms of world building imo.
Played recently, definitely a great game. I also played the second one, now I'm on Inquisition. All the three had their qualities, now none will surpass what I felt after the end of Origins. The classic hero's journey, which I made sure to end as heroically as possible. A real masterpiece.
у нас никто и никогда не отнимет эту божественную игру. сколько бы ужасных поделок биовэр с электрониками не сделали в будущем, как бы не издевались над лором, духом серии и всем её наследством, мы всё равно сможем вернуться в Начало, зайти в главное меню и услышать этот божественный саунд. прямо сейчас этим и займусь, воспринимая всё, что вышло после "Охоты на ведьм" как страшный сон моего Стража, вызванного прохождением ритуала Посвящения
I've played this game since it came out, every year I play through it twice... its 2020 and I have officially done every quest with every race and every class... still playing... BEST RPG EVER MADE
-Dragon Age Origins was a masterpiece, one that even today, stand proudly among the greatest of all fantasy games of all times. -Dragon Age II was, unfortunately, not as good as his predecessor, yet in hindsight, we can see the effort and love put in it -Dragon Age Inquisition was a good rebound from II, intriguing storyline and fantastic characters even if yet again the glory of Origins wasn't quite reached. Veilguard, in my lonely opinon, do not deserve the title of Dragon Age. It may be in the same universe, with familiar faces all around, maybe it has some elements of fun here and there. It might even be not that bad... But it lacks the true soul of Dragon age. It is a fade, unpalatable simulacrum of something that was once great. Thus, I come back to the DAO theme. Certainly not for the last time, since I'm going to keep hearing this fantastic music till the day of my death. But I'm here to put to rest all my hopes and dreams for a new Dragon age game. Goodbye old friend. You have once brought me great joy. But now your time has come to rest. And though my heart has become grey and slow. I shall forever remember the tales, the laughs and the cries. Farewell dear friend.
+Illusive Man I had to change my hard drive not long ago. I didn't care for any other games, but I took Origins to safety and installed it again on new drive. This is a masterpiece and I'll never uninstall it willingly.
This game was soulful, deep and phenomenal. Their characters were so memorable. After a decade, I still remember it so vividly. Origins, Awakening, Witcher trilogy..... milestones in the rpg genre....

im a lame-o who has it on the console :/
Sour i pity you, there are such good mods for this game it feels like playing an improved modern version.
il give you an example just to make you jelaous, if i side with the templars i can tell gregoir that morrigan is an apostate and that she should be killed, then she insults you and flees forever while fighting her way out.
+Mike Tejo i mean i dont really like the idea of turning morrigan in but yeah ive seen a lot of mods for origins that make the game look amazing
@@mellamanq I Play on PC too but if you overhaul this game enough to be called a remaster EA WILL SHUT IT DOWN I guarantee it. lol Look at KOTO Apeiron.
I used to just let it sit on the menu so I could hear the music at least once, good memories. Can't believe this game will be six next year

And I still play it. That's how you know it's good.
I really don't like Inquisition so much.
How about 9 years?
And what about 10 years? Oh, too early. :D
10 years still playing
Still have it installed.
DA:O was one of those rare games that write themselves into your heart and you never forget them.
I still remember when I finished the game and end titles rolled down and I started crying. I did not want it to end: I did not want to leave the story.
I am like you bro…I love this game I can’t believe I haven’t played it until this late 😭 I completed the series and I have to say this game is so so close to the heart, even tho DAI had a very decent story and compelling character storylines.
The reason its so rare is because this game had a total of 6-10 years development time (I've seen multiple sources cite different amount of years so its hard to say for sure). Compare this to DA2 only had a year and a half (Production lasted just nine months). Dragon Age Inquisition was a total of 4 years with 3 years of Production.
@@JustiXNL Neverwinter Nights 2002 and Kotr 2002 were bioware. I wouldn't say this game got more than 6 years of dev time.
@@JustiXNL 4-6 years at most
@@arcticdream4905 I don't see how mentioning Neverwinter Nights and KOTR without any context is relevant in your argument? And I lit already said it was somewhere 6-10 years based on multiple sources. I know one of the writers David Gaider said in a eurogamer interview he was at least busy with it the game for 6 years. The Wiki pages quotes a source saying development for the first Demo started in 2002 (the game released in 2009) meaning the game took at least 7 years to develop. This doesn't even take preproduction into account as they are talking about development of a demo in 2002. Which is why it probably took more then 7 years.

No other Dragon Age game will ever surpass Origins
***** I actually liked DA2 more than Inquisition. as great as Inquisition is, I thought the story was kind of weak, and anti-climatic.
+Michiify am I only around here, who dislikes DA3 controls? Seriously, 'tactic overwiev' shows less then third person. third person required moveing by 'wasd' and keep attacks. Binary AI customizations... Dragon Age was like Baldur's Gate, and now...?
IMO, DA2 is more likely to DA1 than DA3.
The Corpulent Panda I can't agree at all. Inquisition have great story, i love beeing herold, and my advaisors, full open world, and details like portraits of my companions... I just can't stand battle system. In fact, team do what they will, Tactics only allow them to use abbilities, not depend on situation like previous games. In third person, you play like some hack'n'slash, and 'tactical' view shows even less then default view.
DA2 was great refresh, mindfull battles, with cool looks. in DAI, it's more like keeps you character attack.
+NecroPheliac Inquisition already has. :)
Whoami691 Ah come on, Inquisition is weak compared to the excellence of Origins.
You're right graphics /gameplay wise though.

Especially the 'for the Grey Wardens' part omg
EXACTLY especially the Ostagar aftermath part, the music turns to melancholic like in Flemeth's hut and Alistair's grief over losing Duncan. "For the Grey Wardens" part also reminds me of the march to Denerim and the speech of soon-to-be King Alistair (in my version).
How I'd love to go back and experience this game for the first time again...
With lots of drugs and mods you can for the cheap price of your car and 3 months rent
I'm experiencing it for the first time right now!
And it's great ~
If you are reading this and haven't played this game yet, I want you to know that I envy you. What I wouldn't give to load this masterpiece up for the first time again.
One hell of a farewell from old Bioware.
I wish so badly that I could play this game for the first time again.
If I could choose one game to play again for the first time, it would be Dragon Age Origins. What a masterpiece.
rip kotor, neverwinter nights, baldur's gate, and dragon age, rip Bioware, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. your betrayal to EA will also never be forgotten.
I am playing it for the first time ever tomorrow. Hype
The only downside of the "first time" is its very difficult on first timer. Remember the first town? There is an encounter which you battle 20+ damn wolves. I know it sounds easy but believe me, wolves here in orgins can stunlock your whole party.
I'll make sure to play this at Bioware's funeral.

Who's back here after the complete massacre that is Veilguard?
Origins had a SOUL 😭
I just finished Veilguard, i pirated it, im not paying for that zombie identifying as Dragon age. It had some good moments, but over all its just a movie on rails that you can color a bit with lines and unappealing companions. Solas memories was a high note, because it touched on Origins questions we wanted to know. And the ending was Epick but over all after finishing it i feel sad that, that is the Dragon age we got when there was this potential for greatness.
@Dexyu there is nothing good about the story or the lore. The elves did everything and Southern Thedas is completely destroyed. Also spooky Illuminati ghosts were behind everything. If they don't decanonize Veilguard this franchise is done.

Best game in the RPG Genre. Sure the graphics are dated, BUT STORY! CHARACTERS! VOICE ACTING! Love them all. Love the characters. This soundtrack tells a lot of the story in it of itself.
at least the graphics have a bit of life in them (good expressions, some unique animations, and some interesting art direction)

I had played Dragon Age: Inquisition recently. It was my first introduction to the series lol. So many people told me that I needed to play Dragon Age: Origins as well. So, with no particular feelings one way or the other. I got the game. It loaded up. And I heard this. I was so taken by the song, my mouth literally dropped open and I sat there for 5 minutes just listening to this main theme. Honestly, this is probably one of the most beautiful themes I have ever heard in my life. Being musically inclined, I love when video games have really good music design. And just by listening to this music, I was in complete awe. I've never heard anything quite like this. I just had to look this song up on TH-cam lol.
ive just started playing inquisition in mid 2020 before moving to dragon age 2 then origins. i get shivers when i heard origin's theme song.
@@stronk8107 Yes! It’s hauntingly beautiful. Probably one of the best opening themes of any video game. I don’t think any other opening has captured me the way this song does 😌

It hurts me so much. I doubt that we will see something closer to Dragon Age Origins anytime soon!
I think witcher 3 accomplished what Origins did.
@@FizCap I mean ultimately Witcher 3 destroyed every AAA title ever made, became the best RPG game to do date and arguably could be the game of the decade.
But my god, regardless this game just has something nostalgic, special, beautiful. As everyone else says, it has soul. Strange because no other game has the same thing to the point where a memory actually feels real (except for Witcher 3 possibly).
I come from the future to tell you that you're still right
There will never be a game like DAO ever again. :(
Witcher 3 is a rare example.
...on the other hand...
Cyberpunk 2077 is a massive disappointment...
So this is what a funeral is...
Thank you for my childhood Origins o7
RIP Bioware.
What classics they used to give us.
Those were the times.
For real man, ive seen some compare baulders gate 3 to DAO, while allot of old bioware did work on that game, its characters just aren't on the level of this game (dragon age orgins story blows BG3s to high hell)
@@delta2372 I actually agree.
Trying to play BG3 and it just bores me. Can't get past Act 1. Some of the quests just seem clunky. Especially Gobln Camp.
I completed DAO with every ending....that is how good that game is.
@@mrfreeman2911 act 1 Is definitely a slog to get through, now it's normal for any games opening acts to usually be slow since it's the big build to the larger story and while it does pick up in the next act, the problem is that BG3 has allot of clunk to it, DAO had that aswell but the difference comes down to the writing.
DAO depending on your origin you had a major life changing event and join an order of warriors dedicated to preventing the end of world form a demonic threat that is limitless and the subsequent massacre at ostagar you have one hell of an intro for DAO before you get into the one slow part of the early game that being the first village you go to.
BG3 has it's "origins" aswell but it more or less plays out the same and instead of one bombastic intro to get things started, you have one very long slog to get through the entire early game before you get into the meat of it, while it must have done something right winning game of the year, you generally want to make things as exciting and engaging for the player in your opening act lest people drop it.
@@delta2372 Nostalgia. As someone who has played BG3 recently and finished it and is currently over 20 hours into Dragon Age Origins cause I wanted to try it out, BG3 destroys Dragon Age Origins. BG3 has better companions and the story is just as good, the level of detail is so good that I have already started multiple play throughs. Dragon Age Origins is fantastic but I don't see myself playing a second play through. The current Bioware should learn something from what BG3 did and get inspired for their next Dragon Age game cause I doubt Veilgurd is going to be as good as BG3
@@delta2372 Have you not played the Dark Urge origin? It's probably the best Origin in the game and you feel so involved in the story because you have a part in the game like the other companions and the world reacts to you. I am currently playing the Dragon Age Origins human backstory and my background doesn't really do much except for providing an explanation for companions and some NPC while in the Baldurs Gate 3 Dark Urge Origin you're known, you're feared by some, you're hated by others and you had some questionable alliances in the past. Your companions also show concern for your condition and you can either submit to your urge or overcome it and be good, it's a fantastic redemption story if you play the good route.

watch wardens calling video/read in game books for origins it says it the way I put it.

Lyrics are not gibberish. It is Biowares' take on the elven language.
So in other words it's gibberish as the language does not exist.
It's a nice piece of gibberish though.
@@I_hunt_lolis if the elven language in bioware was actually fully constructed, it is a conlang and therefore not gibberish
@@magiv4205 sounds like gibberish to me
@@I_hunt_lolis Let me put it like this: Gibberish is a string of sounds that is made to get a certain sound or feel across, but the individual sounds and "words" don't mean anything. Many fantasy soundtracks use this to make epic sounding choirs, but the lyrics they sing are just there to sound cool. A conlang, like any natural language, is comprised of a set of specified sounds, rules on how to string these sounds together, and those form individual morphemes, or units of meaning. With these units of meaning, you can then build full words and sentences. Therefore, it's not gibberish anymore. I don't know to what extent Elvehn was constructed and how consistent the grammar is, but I do know that there's at least some regularity.

The problems began since Dragon age 2 with Eas involvement, me Andromeda production hell from a team inside of Bioware that worked only on me3 multiplayer, the lack of support on Anthem. All this led to Bioware to become a shadow of its former self.

After that god awful trailer I came here to remember the good old times, may you rest in peace Dragon Age
One of *the* greatest games of all time, hands down zero dispute.
So many memories. The game was so good and had so much personality that I had the pleasure of playing with other classes and races just to get a different (and rewarding) gaming experience. Besides the characters having interesting and diverse profiles, the dialogues had authenticity and quality. It was easy for the player to get involved in history and with "people" like that.
Yup, I wish they make a movie out of the game.
Everytime I hear this theme, I have a flashback of that one scene where if you were a human noble, your father's spirit comes to give you a message about how your destined for greatness. I just feel the music is a key factor in emphasizing this epic and immense journey that DA:O sends you on, reminding you how pivotal your role in it all is.
I am playing this game right now for the first time and I've got to admit that it's much better than I expected, it is awesome and this is without any doubts one of the best themes I've ever heard in a videogame, it's simply amazing. The first time I heard it when I opened the game it was like: My god, it is simply delicious. What a great game!!
Alistar Morigane Lelianna THE HERO OF FELERDEN ....what a game what a memory
after all this years, this is still my favorite game, always get back to it
Sorry but I'm gonna say it. Dragon Age 2 *didn't* suck. Granted it was nowhere near as good as Dragon Age Origins, but it's completely foolish to say the game was garbage. The story had great setup for Inquisition, while also telling the tale of a completely new character and a rise to glory in the aftermath/sorta during what was to be the (possible) destruction of all life. Was it amazing? No. Was it bad? No. It was too different for some people, and that's okay. But I admire Bioware for trying something different than they ever had before storywise. People need to stop hating on a game that doesn't deserve it.
here here! I actually liked the entire series, and eagerly awaiting (Hopefully) another one!
Nope, it didn't suck at all. Inquistion is bad compared to the first two.
Well, here's some of the reasons I hated DA2 if you want :
- No origin system anymore
- Whole game setup is in the same ugly city
- Plot is terrible (in my opinion). You go from saving the world in DAO to dealing about quarrels between mages and templars in one city, and getting some social elevation
- Gameplay went from strategy + difficulty to button mashing + AOE spamming
- Speaking of fights, ennemies spawn by packs of 20. Like, in DAO you were like "oooooo a demon!", here you're like "ffs that's the 10th pack of demons I killed today". You also kill more bandits than there seems to be inhabitants in this city
- Game is short (although in this particular case, it was a good thing)
- Once again that's only my opinion, all the characters except Varric seemed boring to me
- To end with, like many comments say here, DAO had a soul, DA2 had none. You don't feel the magic
I never hated a game sequel in my life as much as I did with DA2. There was literally nothing good about this game, except maybe the Qunaris.
The story never went anyway until the very end..... and then the game was suddenly over.
I mean, if you just take it as a single game it was pretty fucking terrible... But you seem to consider it as a longer prequel to DA:I
My only complaint about Dragon Age 2 was due to how linear it was but other than that, to me it was a PERFECT followup to origins in terms of world building imo.
New DA, break my heart, destroy my soul
Veilguard has no soul
This will forever be my favourite game, it just hits right in every way
Honestly didn't expect to find you here! How about a dragon age origins challenge?
I hate Bioware and EA for killing this series. From this masterpiece to utter garbage Veilguard.
Look how massacred, corrupted and concorded got my beloved franchise.
The death of Dragon Age is near 😢
Played recently, definitely a great game. I also played the second one, now I'm on Inquisition. All the three had their qualities, now none will surpass what I felt after the end of Origins. The classic hero's journey, which I made sure to end as heroically as possible. A real masterpiece.

-Dragon Age Origins was a masterpiece, one that even today, stand proudly among the greatest of all fantasy games of all times.
-Dragon Age II was, unfortunately, not as good as his predecessor, yet in hindsight, we can see the effort and love put in it
-Dragon Age Inquisition was a good rebound from II, intriguing storyline and fantastic characters even if yet again the glory of Origins wasn't quite reached.
Veilguard, in my lonely opinon, do not deserve the title of Dragon Age.
It may be in the same universe, with familiar faces all around, maybe it has some elements of fun here and there. It might even be not that bad...
But it lacks the true soul of Dragon age. It is a fade, unpalatable simulacrum of something that was once great.
Thus, I come back to the DAO theme. Certainly not for the last time, since I'm going to keep hearing this fantastic music till the day of my death.
But I'm here to put to rest all my hopes and dreams for a new Dragon age game.
Goodbye old friend.
You have once brought me great joy.
But now your time has come to rest.
And though my heart has become grey and slow.
I shall forever remember the tales, the laughs and the cries.
Farewell dear friend.
Fuck it reinstalling now
+Lyle Mackie Nah, I never uninstall it in the first place. xD

I had to change my hard drive not long ago. I didn't care for any other games, but I took Origins to safety and installed it again on new drive. This is a masterpiece and I'll never uninstall it willingly.
Came here to mourn 😢
This game was soulful, deep and phenomenal. Their characters were so memorable. After a decade, I still remember it so vividly. Origins, Awakening, Witcher trilogy..... milestones in the rpg genre....
