The A.V. Club writes: "Your character's journey through the world of Dragon Age: Origins is a bloody one. Battles and cutscenes are filled with spurting gore, and the trail your party takes along the world map is colored by sanguinary splatters. But the gratuitous pools of red your enemies leave on the battlefield helps paint the bigger picture: Whether you're fighting ravening monsters or desperate refugees hoping to kill you for coin, everything bleeds, and everything dies."
