A review by courtneydoss
Dragon Age Omnibus by Alexander Freed, David Gaider
3.0
Dragon Age: Origins was one of the first video games that I ever fell in love with. Up until that point, I hadn't known that a game could contain such an in depth world and fascinating story. Adding together the fact that the game presented a story filled with genuine consequences for choices made by the player, and a cast of incredibly lovable characters, I never looked at a video game the same way again. There have been other games who have come close, but to me this series was the perfect video game and every other game I've played afterward was simply an attempt to capture that awesomeness again.
Recently, I've started replaying the third game in the series, and decided that I wanted a trip backward in time through the characters that I knew and love from the previous installments. I own the old games still, but I'm currently waiting on a controller in the mail, so until then I have to satisfy my craving for more Dragon Age with this omnibus.
In this particular collection, lovable bastard turned king Alistair Theirin is accompanied by hilarious storyteller Varric and beautiful pirate captain Isabela throughout the continent of Thedas in pursuit of his long lost, believed dead, father King Maric. The story is not particularly fantastic, but the artwork is stunning and I was happy to get a fix of my favorite characters. I only wish that more characters from the games had made an appearance.
