Tchos Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Possibly to increase interest in the upcoming release of Dragon Age: Inquisition, EA has released the original Dragon Age: Origins on the unfortunately similarly-named Origin, their content delivery system, for free. As with any of their "On the House" specials, it will only be free for a limited time of unknown duration. This package contains the base game, with no DLC except for the Stone Prisoner. The other DLC remains full price. Get it here, while you can. Update: Alas, as of the 14th of October, the promotion has ended.

Rabbit1251 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thank you for the "heads up", Tchos. I've had an interest in this series of games for some time, but was unsure whether or not that I would like it. This will now give me a chance to find out for myself. It is unfortunate that you have to go through holy hell to sign up to get it. Well there's no such thing as a free lunch in America as the wise man said. Thank you again. P.S. It said that the offer was good until the 14th of October so don't dawdle. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 too bad the game won't run for me, I've tried everything to get it to run and still nothing, got it last Friday and have yet to play it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catowynchan Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 In response to post #19195189. I was having the same problem. I eventually got it to run by right clicking on the icon on my desktop, clicking "troubleshoot compatibility", then "try recommended settings", then "test the program." The game ran for me after that. However, I'm not sure if that is a permanent fix or not, but it got the game to run. I hope that this works for you as well.

Tchos Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 I had some problems with it at some point during the time I've owned it, though it was very stable at the beginning for me, and only after some update patches did it start to act strangely, but I found some settings that seemed to work fine for my system. I expect it's different for different systems. Definitely a fun game for me aside from that. Glad the post is helping out a bit. I would have posted the news on Friday, but they had changed the news area since my last post and I needed to get access again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 still won't run for me and I have tried several of the settings in that list that comes up XP - sp2, XP - sp3, vista - sp1, and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaeth Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 A few months ago the copies of DAO and Awakening that I bought through Origins stopped working. Despite raising support tickets, they were no help at all, so I deleted them and bought pre-owned disks. Now I am happy again - and I've ordered DAI on disk as well. Will never buy anything that's not very, very discounted on Origin ever again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
