Dragon Age: Origins is free on Origin until Tuesday

DLC not included

Many of you haven’t seemed too thrilled with EA’s free game offerings on Origin, which is understandable — they’ve been hit or miss. This one should prove a bit more compelling.

The standard edition of Dragon Age: Origins is free to download on Origin now through Tuesday, October 14. To be clear, if you get the title in that time, it’s yours to keep and play as you like. (Some of EA’s other promotions don’t function this way.)

Yeah, the promo is clearly timed as a lead-in to Dragon Age: Inquisition‘s impending release, but that’s fine. Just glad it’s the original we’re getting here instead of the sequel.

Also, I love how this is the screenshot that greets you upon entering the game’s Origin page.

Like, “Hey kids, have we got a videogame for you!”
