Maybe because of the loveable characters! But, somehow, the game still remains active to date. It was released around the same time Mass Effect 2 was in the works.Įxpectedly, the same bugs and design shortcomings that made Mass Effect frustrating extended to Dragon Age. But, let’s face it, it’s been a while since the game was released (it was released in 2009). There’s no question about the greatness of Dragon Age.
