What Dragon Age: Origins is
Dragon Age: Origins is a role-playing (rpg) game developed by BioWare Edmonton and released in 2009. It was published by Electronic Arts. It is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Eclipse Engine (BioWare).
The premise, in the publisher's words
Set in the fictional kingdom of Ferelden during a period of civil strife, the game puts the player in the role of a warrior, mage, or rogue coming from an elven, human, or dwarven background. The player character is recruited into the Grey Wardens, an ancient order that stands against monstrous forces known as Darkspawn, and is tasked with defeating the Archdemon that commands them and ending their invasion.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action, fantasy and open world. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
Where it sits in the Dragon Age series
Dragon Age: Origins is the first of 24 entries we hold in the Dragon Age series. The next entry was Dragon Age: Origins - Feastday Gifts in 2010. Its critic score of 90 is 4 points above the series average of 86. The highest-rated entry is Dragon Age: The Veilguard at 91.
How it was received
Dragon Age: Origins holds a critic score of 90 out of 100. That places it above 92% of the 3,811 rated role-playing (rpg) games in our database, which average 73. Games released in 2009 averaged 67, so it scored 23 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 88, across 1,754 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 59.4 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 85.8 hrs, roughly 1.4 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core 2 Single 1.6 Ghz Processor (or equivalent) or AMD 64 2.0 GHz Processor (or equivalent), 1GB (1.5 GB Vista and Windows 7) of RAM and ATI Radeon X850 256MB or NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB or greater (Windows Vista: Radeon X1550 256 MB or NVidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB). At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 20GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

Dragon Age: Origins launched on 3 November 2009, within three weeks of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It reviewed better than 2 of the 4.
Released around the same time: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Dragon Age: Origins cheat codes
Enable the console
Added to the launch shortcut, this turns the console on.
Right-click the shortcut, choose Properties, and add the flag after the exe path.
Give the console a key
The console has no key bound by default, which is why it appears not to work even after the flag is set.
Open Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\keybindings.ini, find the OpenConsole_0 line and set it to a key such as Grave, then save.
This is the step most guides leave out, and without it the flag alone does nothing.
God mode
Your character takes no damage.
Open the console and type the command.
Add money
Adds the number of coins given. Change 1000 to any amount.
Open the console and type the command.
