Dragon Age PC Requirements Revealed

With Dragon Age’s release date of October 20 fast approaching, Bioware has announced the system specifications needed to play the PC version.

If the minimum requirements are to be believed, the game appears to be playable on much older-generation systems, especially for gamers still running on Windows XP.

One can’t help but wonder if the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of Dragon Age both have the same 20 GB hard drive space requirements as the PC version.

Dragon Age has been hailed by Bioware as the “spiritual successor” to Baldur’s Gate II, a highly popular PC Dungeons & Dragons RPG released by Bioware in 2000. The game has been in development for the last 3-4 years.
