Closing Comments
Bioware’s achievements in all this are incredible. It cannot be stressed enough at the depth of the universe they have conjured. Every corner you look, there is a sense of age, of something old. Entire mythologies for multiple cultures have been brewed up, entire religions mapped out in their own belief systems, history that stretches back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Cities look lived in, worn – majestic and squalid places that spill with times gone by and a sense of place. The castles look like they have been there for centuries, and truly, there is an uncertain sense that they have been. That Ferelden and its inhabitants were waiting patiently in the wings for all this time, waiting for their chance to shine. Well, like the Grey Wardens, their time has come. Let us unite then, and in the words of an old friend: We shall show those cursed Darkspawn our hearts – and then show them theirs.

| 10 | Presentation It’s clear that Bioware has created a universe that they find themselves effortlessly comfortable with. Everything has a purpose, a history, a sense of cultural identity. |
|
| 8.0 | Graphics If you want to be a pain about it, you could say that it’s not as shiny as a lot of current-gen games. Not such a bad thing, really. |
|
| 8.5 | Sound Emotionally resonant performances the leads stand side by side with even the common folk, and the sweeping orchestral score is always at hand to provide grandeur. |
|
| 9.0 | Gameplay This linear RPG that isn’t really linear at all - dialogue choices and your actions govern the fate of everything, and the combat is deeply gratifying, thinking-cap stuff. |
|
| 10 | Lasting Appeal Words like epic don't do it justice. |
