"Dragon Age: Origins wasn’t the most attractive game": BioWare's old series producer still thinks a DA remaster trilogy is worth it, but the knowhow isn't there

Former Dragon Age series producer Mark Darrah has shared his tuppence worth on the likelihood of BioWare and EA ever commissioning a full-on original Dragon Age trilogy remaster or remake. He thinks such a remastering or remakering would sell pretty well, not least because OG Dragon Age looks like a toilet bowl in a Silent Hill game (I exaggerate the sentiments here slightly). But he also thinks t...

Dragon Age: Origins is 'Unsupported' on Steam Deck, but it runs incredibly and it's currently only $3

I've wanted to revisit Dragon Age: Origins on PC for years. I played the PS3 version back in 2009, which isn't as bad as people say it is, though it does lack the PC version's tactical view and, of course, mod support... Read more.

We've been digging back through the archives at PCG, and one particular hands-on experience and Q&A reached its icy hand out of the mists of time and grabbed me by the throat: Now-Strategic Director Evan Lahti's preview of Dragon Age: Origins, and an accompanying interview with BioWare cofounders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk in 2009...

Former Dragon Age producer Mark Darrah agrees that Mages were the most 'complete' class in Origins, says it came from D&D rules and the fact that Warriors and Rogues weren't allowed to 'violate physics' yet

In response to a viewer question in a 200k subscriber Q&A for his YouTube channel, former BioWare producer Mark Darrah explained why Mages in Dragon Age: Origins were so feature rich or "complete" when compared to Rogues and Warriors... Read more.

Mass Effect 5 devs should "scapegoat" Veilguard and a Dragon Age trilogy remaster was pitched to EA, says ex-BioWare producer

Former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah has discussed pitching remasters of the first three games in the series to EA, and made clear in the same interview that he's encourage the developers of the next Mass Effect game to "scapegoat" Dragon Age: The Veilguard "as much as they need to". Darrah's offered a lot of insight into life at BioWare since departing the studio back in 2022, with th...

Dragon Age: Origins lead writer says Shale was saved partly by his real-life burning hatred for pigeon poop: 'I wrote like the angry, angry wind'

One of my favourite companions in Dragon Age: Origins is Shale. She's a deadpan, dry-voiced golem with a hatred for pigeons that does credit to her dwarven, grudge-bearing heritage. She was also a day-one DLC character but, while discussing her, series creator and lead writer David Gaider reveals that was mostly due to a lack of time, and the fact she was downright impossible to write...

Akon's 'Smack That' and Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins have a shared history, according to her writer, who cast her off a 'beat poet rendition' of the song

Morrigan will always be an icon—as we've already discussed on this site, she's one of the all-time companion greats, pretty much stealing the show in Dragon Age: Origins. A razor-sharp wit, a barbed tongue, and a deeper, sympathetic vulnerability. There's very much a reason why she keeps popping back up in sequels to play the hits... Read more.
