Ferelden, its betrayals and its choices that weigh on you, is a world you do not forget once you have stepped into it.

And yet the profile of Dragon Age: Origins tells a more measured story than you would expect. The soundtrack leads the way, ahead of two thirds of all games, closely followed by the longing of a rediscovery and the controller feel, both sitting right in the middle of the pack. Connection comes next, a touch below. Where it surprises is at the bottom: on few votes, the game you would take to a desert island and the art style land far behind, near the bottom of the rankings. To be confirmed, but the gap is striking for such a celebrated RPG.

Set against the great narrative RPGs, this is a classic that owns its age. Its tactical systems, heirs of Baldur's Gate, shine less now to the eye than in the feel, and that is exactly what these early votes hint at: music you keep, visuals that have aged.

So, who is it for? For you if you love RPGs lived through their writing, their companions and their score more than their shine. Much less if you are first after a visual punch or the game you grab everywhere without thinking.
