The fourth Dragon Age game in the series may be on the way, but there's no better time to rediscover or play the fantasy RPG for the first time with Dragon Age: Origins.
Alistair Build Guide (Dragon Age: Origins) – B-Tier Guides
Classes and specializations work a little differently in Origins, so we’re going to take a look at the available classes in the game and the branching specializations you can choose from. This will give you an idea of how you’ll be playing when you start playing Dragon Age: Origins.
We'll also be looking at the specializations from Dragon Age: Awakening, as the DLC included six brand new specializations.
As always in the Dragon Age games, there are three main classes to choose from that you can then personalize with specializations: Warriors, Mages, and Rogues. Warriors are strong fighters that can deal heavy damage and boost their defenses. Mages wield versatile magic that can be used in a variety of ways, such as for elemental damage, healing yourself and teammates, or building up defenses. Rogues are skilled with traps and poisons, and are well-versed in daggers or bows.
