These games are definitely worth picking up especially for $10 for the whole series.

    I’d like to give it a try, but unfortunately it looks like it requires the electronic arts app, which I refuse to install.

    Could anyone give a brief sum up of what are these games about?

    I know is a famous series and I think is a fantasy rpg but I don’t know much more about them or why are the so well regarded.

    Man, this brings back some great gaming memories. I think there was actually a statue of a Dragon Age 2 enemy in one of the Mass Effect games right?

    I bought these and started DAO again a couple days ago. I had them on console before, but it was cheap enough to add to my Steam account. I loaded up a ton of mods this time. So far I’m having fun, but it crashes a lot, so I’m quick saving constantly. I’m not sure if the crashing is the game, my laptop, or the mods. I’m assuming its the mods and so far don’t care enough to figure out which one(s). The good news is, I can go from desktop to loaded game in about 30 seconds, which is a nice change from modern games that take forever to load.

    For those commenting on EA, if you buy on Steam you’ll get a launcher, but you don’t need the EA app to play (at least for DAO, I haven’t gotten to the others yet). However, if you just don’t want to give your $7 to EA (after Steam’s cut), that’s totally understandable.

    Are there mods for the second and third?
    I played a shit ton of DA:O but only a few runs on the second and didn’t finish the third as I lost interest.

      I mean I would assume so. I primarily played inquisition and origins on console and never actually played the second. I would assume there’s a modding community but don’t really know.

      I played through the third recently, yes there are a few mods. The game isn’t very mod friendly so there’s not a ton there but I found like a dozen or so that were worth installing on nexus.

      Game still kinda sucks but good enough for one play through if you liked the first (two)

        I think Bioware itself got rid of those god awful beige 70s supervillain pajamas.
