Dragon Age: Origins

The first battleground: the destroyed city at Ostagar, where the Grey Wardens meet the army of Cailan, king of Ferelden, to try and stop the Darkspawn, preventing death and destruction before it has even begun.

However, during the battle, the forces of general Loghain inexplicably abandon the battlefield.

As a result, the Grey Wardens, the king, and most of the human warriors are killed.

Among the few survivors is the hero, who had joined the Grey Wardens just before the battle, and must now find a way to unite the races of Ferelden in a struggle against the common enemy.

Dragon Age: Origins is a party-based third-person perspective role-playing game.

Similarly to Baldur's Gate series , combat is in real time, with the ability to pause at any moment.

Tactical options include an editor which allows the player to give the AI detailed instructions on how to behave in every possible situation.

Nonetheless the player can also control the party (with up to four active combatants) one by one, switching between the characters, using their special talents and abilities to overcome the many different enemies.

During the course of the game, the player will have the opportunity to invite up to nine players to his party.

While only four can leave the party camp at any given time, the experience points earned by killing enemies, fulfilling quests or simply opening a chest are granted to each member of the group.

At each level-up a character earns three attribute points and one talent point.

The talent point is used to unlock new spells and abilities in the extensive talent tree differing greatly between the three available classes: warrior, rogue and mage.

Every three levels the character also earns a skill point allowing him/her to learn or get better at her

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.

The PAL version of Dragon Age: Origins is currently worth €13.85 loose, versus €8.82 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
