Why would you play the Dragon Age series on PC anyway? The first two games don't have controller support except on console.
Even braindead Bioware drones say that DAOs console port was bad due to the controller UI.

I'm gonna farm so many shit ratings my account will be considered a holy river in the Hindu religion. But I stand by it. Man was not meant to game on a typewriter.
There are some games that just play better with a console controller, I use one all the time for them. But no idea about the Dragon Age series, I just could not get into it.

Could someone that knows how to utilize the Steam Charts do a summary of all 4 dragon age games? All time peak, now playing etc between all 4.

As already said these figures are not illustrative of anything. I bought physical copies of Origins and for my sins DA2. People won't play these games on steam and Inquisition is free on EA play, as are the other previous games. I have EA play but never played Inquisition even though it is free, I just got it to play Madden. I did download and play ME3 for 30 minutes a year ago which is also free with EA play.

Failguard is the only game that had a full Steam launch and Inquisition probably has more current players than it as 1k people are playing on Steam and it's free to play on EA play.

Bioware is a joke. I mean I would rather shitpost on here about their tragic latest offering than play any of their latest games for free. If EA play had Failguard for free I wouldn't play it.

I actually started playing Origins again a few months back until it kept crashing... I would rather play a 15 year old game of Biowares I already played through twice and try to hack my way around crashes than play their latest AAA offering even if it were free.

Crashes on DAO are solved by applying the 4gb patch. The software doesn't know what to do if your computer has more than 4gb of ram.

cool thanks. I wondered why the game was crashing.

First time I played Origin it always crashed in Denherim, I thought that was because I downloaded a pirate version (demo :lol:) Anyway I liked it so bought the physical copy and it worked fine. But when I played it recently on EA play was getting the same Denherim crashes again with a new computer.

Yea Denerim is an area that's very prone to crashing. The 4gb patch reduces cratches there, and in the entire game, to an effective 0%. I played DAO like this like a year or two ago, was having the same issues.
The 4gb patch is universal, so it's a good idea to apply it to games that are of a certain age anyways.

Dragon Age Origin is fucking terrible on a controller. It didn’t need to be, (Knights of the Old Republic worked just fine on a controller) but BioWare redid the combat to function more like an action game and what they turned out ended up playing like a terrible action game. But it sold better than the PC version, which is probably why Dragon Age 2 went the way it did with its combat system. Console Origin feels like an even worse version of Dragon Age 2 combat.
