I only played on my play station. I may go back to origins after Witcher 3, god of war, oh who am I kidding. That is a lot of time to commit. Maybe some day.
I liked using Alistair with a mage cuz you could eventually get a power that makes him immune to knockdown. So I could hurl a fireball at enemies and he could keep on fighting.
Though I have beaten Origins I have not yet played Awakening. Is it worth it?

Plus the banter between him and Morrigan is classic.

Honestly, if you liked Origins even half as much as I did/do, I highly recommend it. It's a pretty hefty chunk of content, with all sorts of new stuff in it.
It's a proper expansion, not just a piece of tacked on DLC. You won't knock it out in a couple of hours and be done with it.
Surtur, if you want to get anything close to a decent understanding of the full DA story, I recommend the following:
In Origins, play Awakening and Witch Hunt.
In 2, play Legacy.
In Inquisition, definitely play Trespasser, and I would also recommend The Descent, as I fully expect what happens in that to be referenced heavily in future games.
The rest of the DLC for the games ranges from okay to great, but is more tangential rather than necessary.
I never played Awakening nor the DA2 DLC and I had no trouble understanding what was going on in Inq. Think I watched a quick recap video going into Inquisition though because I knew the DA2 DLC kinda led directly into it.
Maybe understanding was the wrong word. Appreciation, maybe. You get the full experience. In Awakening for example, you meet [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Anders and Justice, and you get to see how he develops before you eventually meet him in the second game. Then in Legacy, you find out about [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Corypheus.
Sure, you can watch a recap, but I'm one of those people that would feel like I missed out if I didn't experience it all firsthand myself.
You are fine without playing it. The marketing team would not seek to alienate its fanbase by making the sequel hard to follow without playing it.
After playing inquisition I downloaded the one dlc for party 2 that leads into Inq because it had seen so long and I was into the character.
Even speaking of it might make Pr think we are posting spoilers or something. I better watch what I say because if I use the word twist he will believe I am trying to ruin a ten year old game or something for someone.

You ever have a character capable of casting "Storm of the Century" ?

"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
Sounds like it could have been promising. Like a sword and sorcery Payday. But EAs gotta chase those trends!
That said I'm not too broken up about it. Dragon Age as a setting is a single-player experience first and foremost. EA refuses to accept that(not enough micro-transaction money to be made in SP games), so pretty much any iteration of a sequel is doomed to be garbage.

Well, I'd argue that Inquisition wasn't that good in the first place.
Yeah. It sounds like a cool idea. But even if EA didn't force in their micro-transcations and "game as service" garbage, I still wouldn't expect much from the game.
