Canadian developer BioWare has built its reputation on making great story-based games. This enviable reputation began on consoles back in 2003 with Knights of the Old Republic, and continued through the release of 2007's Mass Effect, a game which confirmed BioWare's status as the gold standard in RPGs. With that in mind, BioWare's latest RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, has a lot to live up to. Fortunately, (and in spite of quite a few flaws) it lives up to expectations, and then some.
