Dragon Age: Inquisition: Grab Dragon Age Origins for Free

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

EA is offering the precursor to next month's Dragon Age: Inquisition for free via the company's game platform, Origin. Players can log in to Origin and pick up a free copy of Bioware's Dragon Age Origins for a total cost of zero.

Dragon Age: Origins introduced gamers to the rich, detailed world of Thedas, a world filled with deadly mages and powerful dragons. The choice-driven RPG has strategic combat and a personalized story, and it’s free right now with Origin On the House! Just add it to your Origin Game Library and download it whenever you want.

You don’t need to log into Dragon Age: Origins to enjoy the single-player quest; if you see any messages asking you to when you start the game, just skip them, and you’ll be good to go! If you have any questions, visit this FAQ.

Dragon Age: Origins is On the House until October 14th, but once you’ve added it to your library, it’s all yours.

Be sure to pre-order the upcoming Dragon Age: Inquisition, available November 18.

    I really enjoyed this game when I first played it.  The mods made it even better for replays.

    Still my favorite game of all time to BASH for enemy level scaling.  I love it!!!  The stats in this game mean NOTHING lol.  It's all an illusion.  They could remove all stats, make a static health bar, and just have gear for looks, it wouldn't make a difference on game play.

    Grab this, the Quests and Legends mod that adds loads of new areas/enemies/stuff and the improved atmopshere mod and you're good to go for some rpg fun!

    One of the better on the house deals Origin has had.

    I wish they offered some discount for Inquisition for owners of Origins and DA2, like what CD Projekt RED did with W3. Still nice of them to give such a classic for free.

    There are some that are still modding,  in fact Chalseus, who created the NwN Mods Rose of Eternity and Cry the Beloved just released a new entry in that series for DAO.

    No add-ons or bonuses. I already own DA-O on ps3. Would have been nice for me to at least get to try and see the bonuses or add-ons.

    I have never bothered with DLC or bonuses for single player games. I guess I will remain unconvienced.

    Nonetheless, I enjoyed DA-O at the time that it came out. I would say though, after playing DA-O more than once, and then playing DA2, I was not really captivated by the environment or area since the context already fell worn out.

    Hopefully the customization, progression and even dare I say the story, can make the game fun and interesting. The thing with sequels is that the story and the overall plot is already laid out, and the narrative becomes more about the details. So every conversation becomes that much more important in entertaining rather than the actual story. Games and even movies barely pull this off, and this is why sequels fail if they don't have amazing scripts and characters/

     I could care less about the Origin thing. Too many people just jump on the 'I do not like this or that.' bandwagon to try and sound elite. 

       Stop being sheep.  Origin is not as bad as it was. Most things are not anymore that warranted complains in the past.. Time passes and fixes are made. Besides, Piracy is WAY too big an issue in PC gaming. What do you expect companies to do? Noone has come up with a reliable  solution to combat it. I remember when Steam first came out as well. EVERYONE hated it. But now I buy most of my games through them. ( Not all)  So do most gamer friends of mine.  Try to be positive for once in your cynical lives! sheesh

    I give props to EA and Origin  for giving the game away. It is a fantastic game.  Oh and Bejeweled is free now too =D

    Wow, what a mix-up, "sheesh:)  (btw not using origin, steam, or even fckbook or other craps are not a way of "sounding elite", just a rational decision)

    Steam wasn't hated at launch, it was just an odd and strange option for game purchases (as in "who would buy a mere virtual pass for a game when s/he could buy the game itself on disc, with a box and stuff"), hate came later when it slowly took over everything and became mandatory. Still remember the first time when I found in the slipcase just a piece of paper instead of the discs ("your steam code is blah blah"), it was bad... for the clerk in he store, I mean :)

    I couldn't follow your logic jump to piracy, steam has nothing to do with that, it's only for distributing and tracking. (I haven't heard of a single game yet which you can't find for "free" just because steam protects it. Actually even the thought is lol-worthy.) I agree with "Noone has come up with a reliable solution", partly. True, software defences are easy to bypass, hardware is tougher and more expensive, but still doable. And also protections became more and more of a burden to the valid customers, while pirates laughed their heads off. That brought the only reasonable solution, DRM-free releases (like Witcher, btw CD Projekt is awesome, go bratanki! :) ).  For some extent the f2p model belongs in this category too, not wasting effort on protecting the client since money is coming from later purchases, not from the client selling.

     

    The final lines were the only valid ones :) Origins is the best one from Dragon Age, I fully agree it's a great game. So why would anyone go with the standard edition? Torvaldr mentioned the steam Ultimate sale, but those who loathes steam too, can find the Ultimate edition for 15-20 bucks on several places. That is almost nothing for the game.

    It's a bit strange to see such hype here, on mmorpg.com for a free standard edition (+Origin, yuck), in the very home of "f2p suck, I'd rather pay $15 a month for <anything>" well, then pay for Dragon Age image

    Origin got a bad rep when it first launched, but it's decent enough now. It's never given me any trouble.

    Well worth it for DA:O!

    Actually, one thing Origin did do that could be construed as 'bad' and produce hate was when it started, without any warning or anything and while masquerading as an Origin, not a game, update, to fully re-download my Dragon Age II game which was bought retail disk and installed before I even had Origin on my computer. It downloaded it again, modified registry keys, moved the install, changed shortcuts, etc. Why? I still have no idea, but I was pretty surprised and pretty ticked off. Just saying that while the service and client has improved in stability and such, it is still parasitic and at times they can be a bit unscrupulous. I already had DA:O CE but grabbed it anyway on Origin for the helluvit. :D

    If you dont already own this game then its worth picking up its a great game.

    Origin as a game platform still sucks a bit and is qutie expensive but its a lot better than it was and  its a free game haha.

    Haha Same. Dragon Age is one of my favorite games ever, I ran a play through earlier this year. I really hope Inquisition holds me the same.

    Dragon Age is definitely my favorite single player RPG (followed closely by Baldur series). Even if you detest Origins this is worth it!!
  • PioneerStewPioneerStew Member Posts: 874
    Is Origins the first one or the second one?  The first one was fun; the second one was pretty good but a bit of a disappointment.

    Already got it on steam when the Ultimate edition was on sale for like $7

    Since when is Tuesday a direction?

  • AvarixAvarix Member RarePosts: 665
    I would wait for it on sale on Steam and grab the Ultimate Edition for under $10. Shale alone is worth it, The Stone Prisoner (If I remember correctly?) DLC. I always felt that was part of the full game, was ready at release, and was cut to make money. I believe the Ultimate edition also comes with Awakenings. Well worth picking up for those extras.
