One of Dragon Age: Origins most prized features was the intricate, genuinely different backstories that each of the races and social classes came from - if you started DAO as a Mage, your first few hours of play were completely different then if you chose a Dalish Elf, Dwarf, or Human Noble. The game took place over a relatively short span of time, but featured a wide array of memorable locations, landmarks, and NPCs. As a newly-minted Grey Warden, players were tasked with stopping a deadly invasion of darkspawn - creatures that had laid waste to vast swathes of the continent in ages past and ground entire nations into dust.

Origins introduced gamers to the world of Thedas. The first Dragon Age: Origins was a colossal, sprawling, unabashed throwback to classic RPGs. To say that BioWare has something to prove with Dragon Age: Inquisition is something of an understatement.
