Hi again! So I keep seeing Dragon Age stuff on my dash after following you lol and I was wondering if you’d really recommend playing it? And if so where does one start? I know there are a few different games.
hey friend! :) (hahah yep I used to be just a Dragon Age blog. I also used to exclusively write for DA! then Connor happened....then Arthur happened....so I decided to just not hold back with all my interests :p)
I totally recommend Dragon Age to any gamer, particularly if you’re into fantasy and especially if you’re into story driven narratives! Dragon Age Origins was the first installment in the series, and it came out in 2009. So going back to it now it can be a bit dated in terms of graphics and game play, but the story is still incredibly fresh, as are the characters. I’ll admit, 15 year old me was intrigued when she heard about the games via game informer magazine that you could romance certain characters on your team. So I picked it up and while I didn’t enjoy it at first, I eventually fell in love and it became my favorite game. It’s still one of my favorites too!
I recommend playing origins, and then Dragon Age 2 before finishing with Inquisition. But I know many who have played the games out of order and enjoyed them anyway! they’re their own stories for the most part with a few threads and cameos that connect them. (with some characters as well that appear through all the games.) if you want the best graphics and something that’s more accessible I recommend starting with Inquisition, but otherwise all the games are great in their own ways.
I love the lore, I feel it’s pretty unique, but I love the characters most of all, and the ability to make your own protagonist and be whoever you want to be!
