A remaster is the perfect excuse to make the game more enjoyable for long-time fans and intrigued newcomers alike. The game is riddled with bugs that require numerous mods and fan patches, especially the otherwise-great Awakening expansion. The combat in Dragon Age: Origins is clunky at best on a modern PC. It brings me absolutely no joy to admit a simple fact: Dragon Age games don't hold up well. So it brings me absolutely no joy to admit a simple fact: Dragon Age games don't hold up well. In years past, I've replayed Dragon Age: Origins more times than I can count. Even Dragon Age 2, for all its faults, has the classic BioWare banter and character building I find key to the studio's legacy.
