Quantcast



On the afternoon expansion "Awakening" became available, a Steam deal for Dragon Age: Origins became available. Until this Thursday, the price of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Origins Deluxe Edition PC has been slashed by 33 percent, bringing them down to an agreeable $33.49 and $43.54 respectively.

If you plan on finally giving the game a go, now is the best time. Not only will you be able to get the game on the cheap, but also you won't have to experience the agonizing wait we've all had for "Awakening," an expansion that looked like a quality addition to the core game during our visit with BioWare at GDC 2010. Get an early look at it in the debut trailer above or check out some of our earlier coverage.

I got really lucky as far as I'm concerned. My birthday was March 13, and my girlfriend offered to buy me a game of my choice for my birthday. It was torn between FFXIII (360), Fallout 3 PC Game of the Year, and Dragon Age: Origins for PC.

I read a lot of stuff about Fallout 3 crashing a lot on windows 7 64-bit quad-cores, and I rubbed my temples to imagine what score Jim was going to give FFXIII in the then-future, so I ended up wanting Dragon Age.

At the time, EA store was having a sale where you pre-order Dragon Age: Awakenings and get the original for $29.97. What really sold me was that on my birthday, they sent me a unique code for 25% off my purchase, so I got DA:O and Awakenings for $56 after tax.

The only thing is that the most recent patch 1.03 messed up pickpocketing ("Steal Success" but no items). I read on the Bioware forums that other people were crashing and losing items, but I've yet to see any of that.

Fallout 3 is easily the greatest game of this generation.

Dragon age is of course a great game but seriously dont miss out on Fallout 3!!!

@TheOldHouse: I have Fallout 3 for the 360 (with no DLC) but I wanted it for the PC because it looks better and has mods. It's one of my favorite games. My only complaint is that the radio station gets repetitive (apparently there's a mod that adds over a hundred songs from that era for the PC version, another reason why I wanted it).

I suppose I could just download the mp3s from the mod and put them on my 360 hard drive lol.

Definitely worth getting it on PC for the mods. And some of the DLC is truly fantastic.

Now I want New Vegas!

so what do you guys think that leaflet in the game that says 02.01.2011 with the picture of the blood dragon means? think its a full blown sequel release date?

It's utterly amazing, so far, and bizarrely hilarious--almost to the point of, well... let's put it this way, I've been laughing most of the time I've played it. I wish they'd add a higher-than-orange level difficulty, because there's a big difference between the Archdemon/Andraste/Flemeth fights and everyone else. Even with my rogue they're sort of laughably easy.

Kinda frustrated that it feels like it's just throwing everything at me right away, although I have spent nearly 200 Gold in-game. Got a few complaints with the writing, but nothing too serious so far.

Well worth the money.

I was real lucky, I rented Dragon Age: Oranges, and I was the first person to rent that copy so it had DL codes in it for the Stone dude and the Blood Dragon Armour DLC!

So I obviously used them! Despite playing the game for a week and returning.

Means I've still got the dLC on ym PSN account, so i may just have to actually buy the game, probably pre-owned though, sorry Bioware.

I will by Awakening though!
