Rebalancing spells and skills, making combat a little quicker and tweaking AI would go a long way. After Dragon Age II, the series went in a different direction combat-wise, aiming for more of an action feel with a hint of strategy, making Origins vastly different from other titles in the franchise. Its real-time strategy style, programmable teammates, equipment and weapon systems are all on the same level as games like Pillars of Eternity and Baldur's Gate 3. While some combat isn't quite up to modern standards with older AI, a little slower pace and more basic class systems, it does hold up overall. With so many different paths to discover, the story alone is worth revisiting, and areas would like great with upgraded textures and graphics like the overhaul ME1 received.

It's a game with storytelling like many isometric RPGs but done in 3rd person, a rare combination that made aspects like immersion and exploration more exciting. There were tons of choices to be made across the game, and even character background and race influenced dialogue and how situations could potentially go down. It's an epic tale of rebuilding a legendary order, the Grey Wardens, to help a Kingdom in need and fight against an ancient evil known as the Darkspawn. Dragon Age: Origin's story and gameplay still hold up today.
