After asking here I gave Dragon Age Origins a go and... it didn't go too well. For starters, the game crashes a lot. There are supposed to be several fixes you can try to do but none of the ones I tried worked. I know the GOG version of the game is updated and should work fine, but then comes my other problem with the game, the difficulty.
You see, I played my character's origin story, became a Grey Warden, did my part in the battle and reached a town after it with little problems besides the crashes. But after that the difficulty spikes a lot and randomly. I tried to do two different missions (the tower of mages and searching for the Arl) and while both started of well, at one point I would find myself facing one group of enemies with no big problems only to be obliterated by the next group. It was frustrating and coupled with the crashes, I decided to try something else.

That's bit odd, I don't remember Origins as difficult game - I remember back when it released I've played it and really liked it, but not as much as BG1/2 - so, wanting to scratch that itch, I went back to play BG...and oh boy, did I found BG to be way, way more difficult that Origins, though at the time I've played BG I didn't find them too difficult.
