-between 25-100+ hours of gameplay per playthrough (it took me about 40 hours)
-6 different characters/origin stories to play through
-good story
-good party-based RPG elements (items, character progression, etc.)
-very deep battle-command options and presets (you can set specific characters to automatically perform certain actions under certain circumstances, lots of different abilities to upgrade and choices to make)
-outstanding character interaction during normal gameplay (party members will have interesting and entertaining conversations while you're exploring)
-'s
-item management could be streamlined (it's not horrible, but could be enhanced by presets similiar to how the combat is handled)
-graphics are mediocre to poor for 2009 standards
-AI can be clunky (party members can attack when you command them to hold position, etc.)
Neutral
-music matches the game fairly well(except for the ridiculous 30 Seconds to Mars song at the credits)
-Acheivements are based on multiple playthroughs (this can be mitigated with some clever usage of game saves) and are a bit time-consuming
-DLC was already available at the time of launch and appears to be a bit misused (additional items, characters, etc. only available via the DLC)
Overall, Dragon Age: Origins, is a good game. It should be played by anyone interested in party-style RPG game sent in a Fantasy universe.
