Dragon Age: Origins

As the spiritual successor to BioWare?s Baldur?s Gate?, one of the most successful role-playing games in the industry, Dragon Age: Origins represents BioWare?s return to its roots, delivering a fusion of the best elements of existing fantasy works with stunning visuals, emotionally-driven narrative, heart-pounding combat, powerful magic abilities and credible digital actors. The spirit of classic RPGs comes of age, as Dragon Age: Origins features a dark and mature story and gameplay.

+1 Same here :) Was hoping someone would make a Dragon Age Origins thread and now it's true :p I am definitely getting this game on PC since imo this game is easier to play on the PC than controller.

[Green_Eye]

This had me in absolute stitches!

[:: Lyon ::]

lol at the comic

Bah, I thought this thread means that Dragon Age has gone gold! I already know all the info including the latest trailer :D But thanks for making the thread anyway

[S00N3R FR3AK]

O man that comic was epic just like the game. Went through the character creator and set up 4. Man Im gonna spend all my time untill Mass Effect 2 playing through this game, screw MW2 lol. And dam the soundtrack sounded great.

[McCordRm]

[yxz]

[chevyordeath]

I can't wait for this. I am such a huge fan of Bioware! I absolutely loved Baldurs Gate, and the first NWN, and Mass Effect.. and pretty much everything they've ever did! I picked up Risen for PC, and it's pretty fun, reminds me of The Witcher. It will hold me over until November 3rd!

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I'm looking forward to playing this game. It should hold me out until the release of Mass Effect 2. :D

[Beastage]

Yesterday the deluxe edition was only 55usd on steam :( it was a mistake by steam, now the price is up to 65usd just like everywhere else.

I knew I should have preordered.

XP MINIMUM SPECS

* OS: Windows XP with SP3

* CPU: Intel Core 2(or equivalent) running at 1.4Ghz or greater - AMD X2(or equivalent) running at 1.8Ghz or greater

* RAM: 1GB or more

* VIDEO: ATI Radeon X850 128MB or greater - NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB or greater

DVD ROM (Physical copy)

20 GB HD space

VISTA MINIMUM SPECS

* OS: Windows Vista with SP1

* CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater

* RAM: 1.5 GB or more

* VIDEO: ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or greater - NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB or greater

DVD ROM (Physical copy)

They are asking for quite a bit more for those that run Vista. Either way, one usually need to have the recommended specs to fully enjoy something like this.

RECOMMENDED SPECS

* CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz Processor or equivalent - AMD Phenom II X3 Triple-Core 2.8 GHz or greater

* RAM: 4 GB (Vista) or 2 GB (XP)

* VIDEO: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater - NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater

DVD ROM (Physical copy)

20 GB HD space

While many Neowinians can probably handle this, it means upgrade time for me. Again there are asking for significantly more RAM for those running Vista (twice as much in this case).

Thanks for posting that, Fred Derf. I exceed all the recommended specs except for the CPU. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.2 GHz. It should be enough to run it at medium-high settings.

[Cheshire Cat]

I'm very much looking forward to this game, it looks like it could turn out to be really epic.... :yes:

Now I just have to decided where to pre-order it :p Damn annoying store specific different pre-order bonus'

[MR_Candyman]

damn, I might have to get the 360 version just because I can't afford to get a new computer at the moment

[chevyordeath]

2 weeks and 1 day away. And I still haven't pre-ordered yet. Can't decide if I want a box copy, or Steam... hmmm.

[Draken]

anyone knows if the character creator requirements and the final version are the same?

[Xilo]

anyone knows if the character creator requirements and the final version are the same?

Basically, yes. From what I've read on the DAO forums, if you can run the character creator you can run the game.
