Now is your chance to pick up BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins on the cheap for Steam.
RPG fans who haven't yet picked up Dragon Age yet should be pleased to know that BioWare's fantastic fantasy role playing game is part of Steam's Midweek Madness sale.
Dragon Age: Origins and the Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition are now available for 33 percent off until Thursday at 4 PM PST. This brings the regular edition $33.49 and the Digital Deluxe edition $43.54.
Those who have already gone through Dragon Age: Origins can get more now with the Awakening expansion pack, though sadly that is not on sale on Steam at its $39.99 asking price.

You miss out on a lot of really good games then.
It isn't free world in the way oblivion is, but it's far superior to it in voice acting and has a solid gameplay. The plot is very good and multiforked, and you can't help but to feel you're IN the game, instead of just watching it. It beats nwn 1 and 2 in simplicity and is great fun. It's M rated for a reason, but then if you're reading this, chances are you're grown up enough to handle it.
Great voice acting, great plot, great gameplay, easy modding installs(dazip), very good overall impression. Controls and menu system needs getting used to, but is still better than previous games from the vendor.
install a downloaded copy instead - I always do that. Also makes the game easier to sell afterwards if the film on the dvd box hasn't been broken. And you're legally allowed to do that if you own the game - at least you were in denmark at the time I researched it.

Thanks, I'll give that try. I think they had some flaky discs in their initial release. That would explain why so many people experienced install problems.
And just how does one get their CD-Key without opening the case, hmmm?
I've been wanting to get this and Mass Effect 2 for a while now. At least I'll be able to get one at a reduced price. My only complaint about using Steam is all Steam-purchased games install on the same drive partition as Steam itself.
Buy it on DVD, the DRM is minimal (thank you EA for listening to gamers) does not need a internet connection to install, CD key only.
@koss, i also got that batman pkg deal over the weekend. these steam sales are too good to pass up! trine (awesome platformer) for $10, braid for $2.50, kotor (another bioware classic) and jade empire for $7.50, the entire overlord line-up for $7.50, l4d for $25. the list goes on and on...
