It arrived when parts of BioWare were looking at making more overtly action-y games, following Mass Effect and the mess that was Jade Empire. Despite a hilarious trailer declaring it ' the new shit', it was perhaps their last ye olde style RPG. They give away freebies to raise brand awareness (you haven't forgotten that Dragon Age: Inquisition is out in November, have you?), build a little good will, and get people using Origin and oh what Bejeweled 3 is free too why didn't anyone tell me get out of my way I need to download this.ĭragon Age came at an interesting point in BioWare's history.
This is, of course, the latest freebie from EA's running ' On the House' promotion. How decadent! What a bargain! How could Dragon Age: Origins be free this week? Why? Quick, you better download it before The Man notices his mistake. Many of them are great, aren't they? But imagine the giddy thrill of receiving for free a game which once cost actual money.
Lots of weird and wonderful games of all shapes and sizes made by all sorts of people.
