    You can finish Witch Hunt in around 90 minutes, but that's 90 minutes you should devote to Dragon Age: Origins' other, better DLC. Even Morrigan herself seems bored by the whole thing, displaying little of her signature sneering wit in the precious few moments she appears onscreen. The main game is, at its core, fun to play, and so you may still squeeze some amusement from the simple battles and appreciate the obscure hint of events to come. Read more

    • Some of the environments look lovely, A cool boss fight.
    • Morrigan's role is so tiny that it's practically unnecessary, Throwaway party members, Way too easy, Story lumbers toward an ending that illuminates nothing.

    I suppose the moral of the story is that I'm one of those fans whose expectations are doubly high. Dragon Age: Origins may well be par-standard fantasy, but I expect more from Bioware. If you're a fan of RGPs it's worth a look at least, there aren't many others around this year. Just be aware what you're in for with the combat system, it's a party you might not be welcome at. Pros Story is engaging, if lacking innovation. Stacks of replay value. Read more

    • Story is engaging, if lacking innovation. Stacks of replay value.
    • By "lacking innovation" I mean "nothing you haven't seen before." Combat lies somewhere between challenging and completely inaccessible.

    BioWare has made a name for themselves over the years as the masters of Western RPGs. Knights of the Old Republic , Jade Empire , Mass Effect , Nevewinter Nights and Baldur’s Gate are all works of BioWare and each of those games have now become timeless classics. Dragon Age: Origins is BioWare’s latest RPG venture. Is this another BioWare classic that will go down in history as one of the greatest RPGs ever created? Read more
