Morrigan flirts with you the whole game, gets into a relationship with you, and then says, “Sorry bud, looks like you’ll never see me again.” Sometimes she even sleeps with Alistair before she leaves. Zevran slits your throat if you’re not nice to him. I suspect people probably moaned about them after they got themselves done in and BioWare went for a more ostensibly easy arc design in future entries. Origins’ companions all have weird specific conditions that don’t really appear elsewhere in the series. She just chills at Skyhold.īut it goes beyond that, too. Morrigan returns in Inquisition, aye, but she’s only there in body - in spirit (eh? ‘Cos she’s a spirit mage, like), she couldn’t give a rat’s ass about going out to fight demons with you.
#DRAGON AGE ORIGINS MAIN THEME SERIES#
As for the main ones - well, let’s just say Morrigan and Zevran are two of the best companions the series has ever had. As if its core cast wasn’t strong enough, characters like Arl Eamon, Duncan, and Flemeth - who is particularly good in this one - have permanently etched their names in the annals of Dragon Age. It’s so ambitious in that it ventures to the underground mines of Orzammar, the breezy canopies of the Brecilian Forest, the mean streets of Denerim, and beyond. There’s just something different about Origins. I love Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition by the way - here’s a piece on what modern RPGs can learn from Dragon Age 2 and another on Inquisition’s stellar environmental design to prove it. The fact its formula was ditched for everything that came after it is a bit rubbish for that precise reason - Origins hits the nail on the head when it comes to designing a fantasy RPG that is as close to perfect as possible, and if Dragon Age 4 wants to wow people in 2021… Well, it should be more focused on what went right with the first game than what went wrong with the other two. In many ways, it is the quintessential BioWare game, because it’s the only one that adopts sensibilities from both otherwise distinct camps.
#DRAGON AGE ORIGINS MAIN THEME PC#
Origins was designed for PC instead of consoles, and exists in a weird limbo between the hardcore, narrative-driven, sprawling RPGs of BioWare past and the much glossier, more streamlined games we see modern BioWare putting out today. I completely agree with this, although in terms of narrative and character development, Origins makes Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition look like battered children’s books where all the characters' faces have been scribbled out with crayon - except Dorian, who is amazing and hopefully isn’t turned into a Tory in Dragon Age 4, and also Isabela (technically an Origins alum), who still has one of the greatest video game intros of all time.

Similarly, Dragon Age 4 is at least partially set in the Tevinter Imperium, meaning that Minrathous - the main Tevinterian city - should probably be designed with Kirkwall’s successes and failures in mind. Dragon Age 2 mostly transpires in Kirkwall, a single city split up into various smaller locations, all of which are separated into two distinct states depending on whether it’s day or night. Our own Stacey Henley wrote about how Dragon Age 4 should study the criminally underappreciated Dragon Age 2 for ideas, and she’s right. Related: If You Need More Mass Effect, Please Try The Expanse Still, there are other, widerpoints worth making in the lead-up to BioWare’s next Dragon Age game, like how it should probably look to Dragon Age: Origins - the best BioWare game of all time - for inspiration. I mean, he might, but any evidence I’ve tried putting forward to support that claim has been admittedly light so far. This is a bit less tinfoil-y than the big post I wrote about Zevran Arainai last week, who probably won’t be making an appearance in Dragon Age 4. Dragon Age fans - again, myself included - are total losers. I wrote 1,000 words based on a symbol the other day. We will smell it, lick it until it’s devoid of flavour, and then put it on a biologist’s slide to examine its structural integrity under a high-powered microscope - only to realise we should have done that before contaminating the sample with our tongues. While Dragon Age 4 is still likely quite a way out, die-hard Dragon Age fans like myself are completely feral.
