This is one of my favorite games of all time. I literally am feral over this series and the story and the characters. so much so that I have owned like 3 copies of it over the years. I probably have closer to like 1000+ hours in this game, playing all the origins.

If you like fantasy worlds, story-driven games, romance, you will enjoy the Dragon Age franchise. If you are wary of playing an older game, I think starting with Inquisition or 2 is fine. The combat in 2 is a lot more user friendly to new players, and Inquisition is better graphics-wise. But if you want the entire experience, I recommend starting here.

There is a lot of replay-ability if you want to try a different origin and make different choices. The characters and world have a lot of depth, and you get to delve deeper throughout each game.

With that being said, it is horribly optimized for modern computers and is unplayable without the ol' 4GB patch. It's older game, so yes, it is incredibly fragile. There are some great guides out there to help you play this game smoothly. Yes it is annoying, but it's the price you pay.

Nonetheless, amazing game. if you have it in you to play an older game with sorta outdated graphics, but a super immersive story and world, please play!
