Dragon Age: Origins (Ultimate Edition)
“Spiritual Successor to ‘Baldur’s Gate’? More like ‘Icewind Dale.’”
Leading up to its release, “Dragon Age: Origins” (“DAO”) was hailed as the spiritual successor to one of the greatest RPG series ever created, the “Baldur’s Gate” Trilogy (and I call it a trilogy because “Baldur’s Gate” and “Baldur’s Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast” felt like one game, while “Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn” and “Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal” felt like distinct titles). Supposedly, after a too-long dalliance with shooters, BioWare, the Canadian company whose Infinity Engine powered “Baldur’s Gate” as well as some of the other greatest PC RPGs ever made, was getting back on track.
