• Dragon Age Origins is a broken mess. Thankfully, six devs are trying to change that - 11 September 2026

  EA remastering Dragon Age Origins feels like a pipe dream post-Veilguard, so six developers are trying to bring back BioWare's iconic RPG. Read the full story on PCGamesN: Dragon Age Origins is a broken mess. Thankfully, six devs are trying to change that

• "Dragon Age: Origins wasn’t the most attractive game": BioWare's old series producer still thinks a DA remaster trilogy is worth it, but the knowhow isn't there - 29 July 2026

  Former Dragon Age series producer Mark Darrah has shared his tuppence worth on the likelihood of BioWare and EA ever commissioning a full-on original Dragon Age trilogy remaster or remake. He thinks such a remastering or remakering would sell pretty well, not least because OG Dragon Age looks like a toilet bowl in a Silent Hill game (I exaggerate the sentiments here slightly). But he also thinks the odds of such a project are low, for the straightforward reason that nobody either inside or outside BioWare really understands the proprietary technology those older RPGs run on. Ah well. We'll always have the mods . Read more

• Dragon Age: Origins is 'Unsupported' on Steam Deck, but it runs incredibly and it's currently only $3 - 30 June 2026

  I've wanted to revisit Dragon Age: Origins on PC for years. I played the PS3 version back in 2009, which isn't as bad as people say it is, though it does lack the PC version's tactical view and, of course, mod support... Read more.

• After the death of Dragon Age, it's a megaton bummer to go back and hear BioWare's founders talk about the series' bright future - 17 April 2026

  We've been digging back through the archives at PCG, and one particular hands-on experience and Q&A reached its icy hand out of the mists of time and grabbed me by the throat: Now-Strategic Director Evan Lahti's preview of Dragon Age: Origins, and an accompanying interview with BioWare cofounders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk in 2009... Read more.

• Former Dragon Age producer Mark Darrah agrees that Mages were the most 'complete' class in Origins, says it came from D&D rules and the fact that Warriors and Rogues weren't allowed to 'violate physics' yet - 24 August 2025

  In response to a viewer question in a 200k subscriber Q&A for his YouTube channel , former BioWare producer Mark Darrah explained why Mages in Dragon Age: Origins were so feature rich or "complete" when compared to Rogues and Warriors ... Read more.

• Mass Effect 5 devs should "scapegoat" Veilguard and a Dragon Age trilogy remaster was pitched to EA, says ex-BioWare producer - 11 August 2025

  Former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah has discussed pitching remasters of the first three games in the series to EA, and made clear in the same interview that he's encourage the developers of the next Mass Effect game to "scapegoat" Dragon Age: The Veilguard "as much as they need to". Darrah's offered a lot of insight into life at BioWare since departing the studio back in 2022, with the veteran dev having done plenty of that via his own YouTube channel . This time, though, he was interviewed by YouTuber MrMattyPlays . Read more

• Yes, your choices in past Dragon Age games don't matter as much as they could in The Veilguard, but BioWare wants you to know "that doesn't mean they're gone" - 7 December 2024

  A lot of Dragon Age fans were left disappointed at how few decisions from previous games matter in The Veilguard , but BioWare has promised they're still important. Read more

• "We've been doing elven gods and elves and the blight for four games now" Dragon Age: The Veilguard devs discuss where the series could go story-wise in the future - 5 December 2024

  Yesterday was Dragon Age day, and fittingly, some of the top devs behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard used it as a chance to chat a bit about where the series could go in the future, now most people have seen the end of this latest adventure that involved Rook, Solas, and everyone else. Read more

• Dragon Age: Origins lead writer says Shale was saved partly by his real-life burning hatred for pigeon poop: 'I wrote like the angry, angry wind' - 26 November 2024

  One of my favourite companions in Dragon Age: Origins is Shale. She's a deadpan, dry-voiced golem with a hatred for pigeons that does credit to her dwarven, grudge-bearing heritage. She was also a day-one DLC character but, while discussing her, series creator and lead writer David Gaider reveals that was mostly due to a lack of time, and the fact she was downright impossible to write...

• Akon's 'Smack That' and Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins have a shared history, according to her writer, who cast her off a 'beat poet rendition' of the song - 20 November 2024

  Morrigan will always be an icon—as we've already discussed on this site , she's one of the all-time companion greats, pretty much stealing the show in Dragon Age: Origins. A razor-sharp wit, a barbed tongue, and a deeper, sympathetic vulnerability. There's very much a reason why she keeps popping back up in sequels to play the hits... Read more.

  GOG has announced it’s kicking off a new preservation program that’ll see it commit extra resources to making sure a selection of the kinda old to very old titles it offers run well across a variety of modern and future hardware. Read more

• The messy queer representation of Dragon Age: Origins was commendable for 2009—and I even miss some of its thorns - 8 November 2024

  It might sound like stating the obvious, but queer representation—in games particularly, for some reason—is a thorny subject. As I myself am starting to nudge into my early 30s (oh, god) I'm beginning to notice that the wants and needs of younger gamers aren't quite aligning with my own... Read more.

• The best Dragon Age: Origins mods - 7 November 2024

  If you want to go back to the original Dragon Age today, you'll need some help. Origins was made in the Eclipse engine, which had some long-standing bugs that never got patched and given there are "maybe 20 people left at BioWare" who understand how it works , aren't likely to ever be officially fixed. Unofficially, they've already been solved and all it takes is a dive into the PC Gaming wiki and Nexus Mods to sort them out... Read more.

  Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a hit, but creative director John Epler recently said that BioWare currently has " no plans for downloadable expansions " to carry the story beyond its big finish.

• Every origin in Dragon Age: Origins, ranked - 3 November 2024

  Dragon Age: Origins had a great idea, and that idea was: origins. Bespoke prologues for each character archetype, they give you a personal introduction to the game that's completely different if you're an elven commoner living in a slum or a dwarven noble so privileged you can test the sharpness of your hammer on nearby peasants...

• Dragon Age: The Veilguard's release got you desperate for a DA legendary collection? BioWare says it'd be tougher to do than Mass Effect, but "never say never" - 1 November 2024

  One of the things that filled the ten year gap between Dragon Age: Inquisition and its recently released successor Dragon Age: The Veilguard was fans wondering aloud if BioWare would consider releasing a collection of the older games in the series, all nicely tweaked for modern hardware.

Its graphics were behind the curve even at the time of release... can you imagine it with brand new PS5-era bells and whistles? 🥳".. Read more.
