What You'll Need To Play Dragon Age On PC

20GB?  That's just craziness!  My 250GB games partition doesn't even have that much space free, lol.

Dear god 20gigs? that's awesome. I'm pretty set to play this awesome game. Can't wait.

20 gigs?! Damn!

I'll be playing on the 360 though, my comp can't handle this and I don't feel like spending a bunch of money on it just to make it work minimally.

Woo!  I meet the recommended system specs.  In fact, it's EXACTLY what I have in my PC.  Can't wait for this game!

Anyone know if this will be a "Games for Windows" or a "Games for Windows Live"? 

Basically, will it have Achievements in the PC version?

Shit, I fall short. :(

Looks like it's time to upgrade again.

I don't understand why they wouldn't just recommend the lowest-priced Core i7 instead of a Core 2 Quad. It's more powerful (although a bit hotter, some say) and cheaper by at least 10%.

my PC is 2 years old now, and was mid-range back then. dont have the money or desire to upgrade since I dont use PC for many games. It'll be a 360 purchase for me.

i can handle this game on recommended and thats it no higher lol. 20gb is a lot be storage is no big deal i got a 1TB.

@giantwhitewhale: You truly sad person.

@anyone else: This should scare you yet more about the length of the game and the commitment of the guy's down at bioware. Here it is: Crysis is 12GB in total.

That game is Huge in term's of graphics AND game mechanic's. If this game (Dragon age: origins) is 20GB, I only wonder how much of a gamer-gasm I'll have while I'm playing it.

Wow, 20 gigs. thats the biggest game ive ever seen.

Anyone have any idea how much the recommended PC would cost? Not that I'm going to go buy one tomorrow. I just want to put it in perspective.

Edit: I just priced a PC from Dell, just to see. I probably could have found something cheaper if I wanted to spend more time on it, but the one I priced was $1700 (no software, no monitor, no keyboard, mouse, no extras). Obviously Dell is not going to be the cheaper end of the spectrum, but still. I don't think I've ever been happier to own a 360.

WOW!!! I did't expected the requirements to be that high! But...for me its fine ^^

I have all the recommended specs except for the video card.

They're pretty extreme system requirements, but I'll be able to run it, even if I'll need to use lower settings. The 20GB hard drive space is shocking though. I know compression technology is always getting better, but are they going to be able to fit all the data onto a single DVD?

i have the free space but my RAM and Graphics card dont meet the recommended requirements... 

This is totally not cool. I don't understand why system requirements are going up as fast as they are. I mean, here I am playing Crysis on medium-high at comperable performances, and I'm only going to be able to play Dragon Age and other upcomming games at minimum? It makes me wonder why developers aren't taking their time to optimize for my rig. Oh well, one less consumer they have to worry about I guess.

A quad core and an 8800 for recommend spec?  Guess I'll be picking up the 360 version after all, which sucks because this seems like a game that'll pick up a big mod following

Think I should be okay if I can clear some HD space.  Dual-core OC'd to 3.00 GHz, SLI'd 8800GTs 

I guess if I ever get a monitor big enough to want better than 1680x1050 I'll have to look at upgrading...

motherassfuckingshit!!!!!!!!!! SP1 won't fucking install on my system so I can't play it... sucks because i have all recommended requirements other than that. actually do you guys think that it will be compatible with windows 7???

This will not work for me, and 20 GB is really huge.  Glad it is coming out for 360 too!

You could build your own PC, with the recommended specs, for like $700 (maybe even less than that, if you really skimped). 

This is if you already have the OS/Software, Case, Power Supply, Mouse, Keyboard, and Monitor.

My computer won't laugh at it, but it won't make my computer cry either... Good enough.

Well...and here i thought i was going to buy the pc-version...oh well, hope it plays well on the 360.

Is it just me or does it seem like games recommend an almost top of the line processor?  Seriously, Core 2 Quad is not the top anymore but lots of machines sold in the past year still had the Core 2 Duo.  Although the graphics recommendations are not out of reach.

I still don't feel compelled to buy this

Hey, you know what....I'll just buy the 360 version...

Yea I am getting this for 360 my computer is almost 7 years old.

Would run smooth as you like on my Laptop :D

I just have no interest in this game xD

What!!! 4.0 gigs recommended on vista wtf???

Lol I love how people are complaining more about the 20 GB HDD. um that is nothing, Terabyte HDD are under 80 bucks now, go out and get one...

Graphics cards are cheap, you could get a Nvidia 9800GT or its replacement a Nvidia 250GTS for under 120 and run this game pretty good on at least Med-high settings.

Anyway back to the question Brad asked, Yeah I can run this thing fine.
Quad 9450  OC 3.4Ghz
4GB DDR3
2x GTX280 SLI
1.2TB HDD space

I think I SHOULD be able to run this, which is exciting...except that I need more hard drive space...

Thankfully I'll be playing on my 360 otherwise my pc would implode.

Ooh ... I  almost scrape the recommended specs, but I only have 2GB of RAM compared to the 4GB it asks for.  Still maybe I could get an extra 2GB if I feel it's worth it and have the money by then.

Yep Im good.updated last winter. I agree with some people here who say that 20 gb is alot if you have a few year old PC with 200-400 gb or laptop but your propably not playing this game anyway if thats the case. 

Duel Core 3.2ghz
4Gigs of ram
9800gtx
Windows xp

My pc laughs at these requirments :D

The twenty gigabyte standard for this can only mean one thing: Great graphics output AND it'll be lengthy. Like, really lengthy.

I exceed recommended specs. Woooo.

As expected I need to update (my current rig is 3,5 years old). Not complaining though as I've wanted to update in time for the powerful Dragon Age: Origins/Mass Effect 2 combo anyway.

Man... my processor sucks. At least I can run the game.

I wont have any problem running this game thank god :D 

I7 920 - 6 gig DDR 3 - Radeon 4870 (1 gig)

If I end up having a bit of FPS trouble I guess I'll just order another 4870 and go crossfire with em. We'll see though.

A quad core is recommened for Dragon Age? Seriously?
