1. An actual, separate video card is required, not any kind of onboard video (which seems to be what you have said is all you have).

2. You didn't choose to provide the data required to assess how well, or how poorly, the PC version might run (no mention of CPU, particularly).

3. The game uses 20 GBs all by itself during its install, and will need a good-size virtual space as well. You need a bigger Hard Drive, or another one.

4. If you choose to correct those things, then we'll get into details about controls (and I suppose, about the DLC, which is free for a couple of them).

The PC version, if you purchase it new, will come with Shale and the Blood Dragon Armor.

1: Blood dragon armor and the stone prisoner come as a code with the boxed version of the PC game, but not the download.
2: You move around with either the keys or the mouse, or bith. Whatever suits you.
3: You will find that your vista OS starts to struggle with only 26GB left on the drive ( it depends what the percentage space left is and the size of your swap files ). You certainly don't have enough space to install Dragon Age and ensure smooth running of your PC in future under all applications.
You don't have a graphics card. What you have is a chipset GPU that will not run the game. You will have to look into your options to buy a card that is at least capable of running the game.
As it stands the game will not run. With a card installed, some more HD space ( second drive is the best option ) and providing you have a dual core processor that meets the minimum requirements ( you didn't say ) you should have little problem beyond any game bugs that appear.

It was a pleasure to answer your questions without resorting to being an arrogant ****** and insulting you without reason.

 I`m thinking about buying it on PC, I have it on xbox now and it sucks IMO. I have had so many annoying glitches that has made the game really un-enjoyable and I`m sure Id like PC alot better.. So I have A few questions...
1. Does the pc vers. come with Blood dragon armor and shale?
2. How do you move around? With arrow keys or by mouse? 
3. Do you think it will be laggy or anything with my computer? 
I have windows vista (64 bit )
8GB Ram and 3200 Graphics. I also have 26gb left on my hardrive,and I will probly download alot of xtra DLC.

Thank you to anyone who answers.
   


Going to do this without ANY insults here!

1) Boxed version does, downloads don't.
2) You can use both. For the keyboard you use (W,A,S,D) and your mouse to move your view. For pure mouse, hold both left and right buttons down and move your mouse towards a direction you want to go. A third method is to right click your highlighted character to a location in your view.
3) You will need more hard drive space free as the save files are massive for a game and other thing and your HD 3200 Graphics Card might struggle anything beyond Medium-Low. Go get a better graphics card if you like to raise your graphics as well as clearing more space.

That's all.

I believe that is incorrect.

All new versions of the game, even digital downloads, come with Shale and the Blood Dragon Armor. Steam and Direct2Drive are certainly advertising that they do.

hmm don't think your stats of the computer be good for this game. Might as well use the console verson. I think you may be pushing it. Whats your CPU. I mean I don't think even think minimum settings are even good to play on. You always want to go pass the recommended just to be safe. However to me, some PC games can be unpredictable, when setting up/ playing them. Theres always a particular thing you need to do to fix it. Which can be a pain. Especially if your computer sucks. Plus different OS and security settings can affect effect how you set up/play your game. Thats why I think they can be unpredictable. Unless you have a computer that is built to play PC games. I'm talking about the PC games that need alot of specs and crap. But not to discourage ya. However the PC verson of the game, is fantastic, especially if you mod it, theres alot of things you can do with this verson, that makes a already awesome game, more great. Plus the PC verson has alot more control then the console. Strange I sometimes feel this game was made for PC rather then console. If you had the specs for it, I totally would recommend it. But if not, than I say don't do it. You're going to hate it even more.



There are two versons of the game I recall, one is the steam which is cheaper, but doesn't include the DLC, but the retail box does. Go for the Retail. just 10 bucks more.

I'm not saying I doubt you. Steam may well offer this. I just took that information from the Bioware site right before I posted it. They clearly state that the free DLC is boxed PC only. ( and again, it may not be correct ) So sorry if I misled anyone.

I can't find where it says boxed PC only, but I did find where it says its available for everyone.

http://dragonage.bioware.com/addon/




Every new retail box of DA:O contains a promotional code on a promotional code card which when redeemed provides a free download of The Stone Prisoner. Digital purchases of DA:O will have the code emailed.





Purchase a new copy of Dragon Age: Origins (regular or Collector's Edition) and receive a code to download Blood Dragon Armor, a full set of armor that grants exceptional protection in combat.

edit:  Okay, I did find a spot on the http://dragonage.bio...reorderregular/ page where it says:

* The Stone Prisoner is available through first purchase redemption. A Rave card containing a code and download instructions will be available. The Rave card is not available with digital download copies of the game. The Stone Prisoner can be purchased seperately.
** Blood Dragon Armor is available through first purchase redemption. A Rave card containing a code and download instructions will be available. The Rave card is not available with digital download copies of the game.


I believe that's just intended to clarify that you don't get a physical Rave card when you get the digital version, it just doesn't clarify that you instead get it emailed to you (or provided by your retailer somehow).  And I can see how that would be confusing.

1. Yes
2. I move with the arrow keys or you can click to the ground and the character will move to the spot. You look around with the mouse.
3. That depends the computer you have. That graphics card you have will not work. In a way it borrows power or megabites from your proccessor and from your memory with that it will stuggle.  Should have a seperate graphics card like in my case ATI HD4870 512MB. As for your hard drive how big is it? You need lot more then that.  The game itself 12GB I think, then the save files 1 GB and over and the extra content. Get a bigger hard drive or clean the hard drive. The stuff you don't need.

well for starters you can find out by pressing (for Vista) your start buttton (Windows Icon) and you can type Dxdiag
in your search box, to see more specificly what the specs are in your computer. It should tell you your CPU, RAM, Graphics card, etc...

depending on your OS it will be different acessing it

For XP its

Start -> Execute -> Dxdiag

Hopefully this helps you find, what you need to get.
