Dragon Age Origins 

Dragon Age: Origins uses a new game engine named Eclipse, for which a toolset for creation of fan-made content is available to owners of the PC version. The game is single-player only. BioWare co-CEO Ray Muzyka described Dragon Age: Origins as a "spiritual successor" to the Baldur"s Gate series, though it is not based on Dungeons & Dragons.

The game takes place in a setting of high fantasy and has multiple downloadable content (DLC) packs available, adding additional content. An expansion, Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, was released on March 16, 2010. The game was received positively by critics, with the average review scores being in the high eighties and low nineties. Dragon Age Origins won a range of awards from multiple sources, ranging from "Best RPG of the Year 2009" to "Best PC game of the Year 2009", and Gamespot named the game as being one of the best gifts to buy for the Christmas season of 2009.

Building upon the game"s storyline, BioWare has also released two novels, Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne and Dragon Age: The Calling, based within the in-game universe, alongside a three episode series of flash games. A tabletop game was released in January 2010, by Green Ronin Publishing. BioWare also confirmed in an interview with Joystiq that a sequel was in development.
