Dragon Age: Origins cost to play

Dragon Age: Origins is a single-player fantasy role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. It was first released in 2009 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and came out on Steam on 6 November 2009. Today it is sold on Steam UK at a one-off price, as the Ultimate Edition only. It ranks #67 in our best games of all time ranking.

How it plays

Dragon Age: Origins is a single-player fantasy role-playing game. The player is a Grey Warden, one of the last of a legendary order of guardians, chosen to unite a kingdom torn by civil war and slay the archdemon as an ancient enemy returns.

The game begins with a choice of six Origin stories, and the hero is made in a detailed character creator. Personality and morality are shaped by the choices made throughout the game, and EA says there are no easy ones: there is no good-or-bad slider to tell the player what to do, and the story reacts to how they play.

Combat pits the player against massive, terrifying creatures, with over 100 spells and skills to choose from. The world spans dozens of environments, and EA quotes over 80 hours of play. The Steam page also describes The Stone Prisoner, which adds Shale, a stone golem who can join the party, along with the village of Honnleath, new items and a follower quest.

What it costs

On Steam UK, Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition costs £24.99. The store page says it includes the main game, the Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening expansion and all nine content packs. Steam also says the standalone Dragon Age: Origins is no longer available on the store, so the Ultimate Edition is the only way to buy it there. No extra paid content is listed separately on Steam.
