Can I Beat Dragon Age: Origins... All By Myself?
This is what happens when I don't cut things for time. I hope you're happy... because I sure am.
From the creator who brought you "Can You Beat KotoR 2 without Leveling Up?" and it's fantastic sequel "Can You Beat KotOR without Leveling Up?", comes an entirely original full length feature. With never before seen behind the scenes footage, extras, and non-optional director commentary, Vhoul Studios UA-cam Channel Ltd. (not a company) is proud to present: "Can I Beat Dragon Age: Origins... All By Myself?".
We'll be diving deep into Dragon Age lore and asking the hard-hitting questions. Like, 'can you beat Dragon Age: Origins all by yourself?', 'can you beat Dragon Age: Origins without leveling up?', and much mo-- Oh wait, no that's it.
Oh, and please don't expect a montage in every video from now on. I'm running out of UA-cam licensed songs that have any hope of being montage material.

The following video is the culmination of over 2 months of my life. I probably could have done it faster, but I am certain I could not have done it any better.

Have you ever been playing one of your childhood games, and you hear that classic level up sound, just like you remembered it as a kid? Well I did; actually it happened about a thousand times over the last few months... because in Knights of the Old Republic, THAT SOUND plays.. every. single. time you load into the game. and it doesn't stop until you level up. But I couldn't level up.. because ...

Yes, the answer to your question is yes. I stole the name for this series from Josh Strife Hayes' Worst MMO Ever series. I think you'll find it quite different. This video is a criticism of games that refer to themselves as 'Game of the Year' in their marketing, or at all. In reality, there are 100s of Game of the Year awards, and winning any amount of them does not make a game any better. Plea...

"This process also removed Trask from our party, which is great cuz he sucks" IN THIS HOUSE, TRASK ULGO IS A HERO
He is part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor, take him away!
I mean, I guess you can, but...why?
I mean.. presumably you don't have any problem with me beating the game WITH leveling up? 'cause if that's how you feel, I'd argue that the answer to your question wouldn't hold any meaning. but since you asked: no reason in particular
Quality content my dude
Taris is so cool i wish we could visit it in ruins even
I think the Templar ending, you just talk to the Templar guy again, and tell him to purge the tower?
Idk, people keep saying slightly different things, but all variations of the same thing. Point is, it's really confusing and not at all intuitive.
i really appreciated the sentence mixing
and i appreciate you saying so
Genuine out loud laugh at your "Spoilers for the Following Games" section.
YES!
Fuck that actually got me too
Now do either Dragon age 2 or Inquisition solo like a mad lad.
I want to be hopeful about the new Dragon Age, but everything I see about it just makes me sad. Why developers think that simplifying the RPG elements of an RPG game makes any sense is beyond me
I'm whatever the opposite of hopeful is. It took me a long time to get there; I even used to think Inquisition was a good game. But it isn't.. and I can admit that now. We're never getting a sequel to Origins... and it's okay. Cherish the memories you had with Origins, and wait for the day that a new developer shall rise up! And herald in a new age of gaming... a Dragon Age!
@@vhoul In fairness the closest sequel to Origins we ever got in terms of mechanics is Baldur's Gate 3
Seems I’m late to the scene but I’m so glad there is KOTOR speedruns/challenge run content
50:50 The scroll stops a spell that turns the mages on the floor into abominations. If the old mage dies then you can't recruit the mages for the last battle. Also you can always recruit the templars. If the old mage survives you can request the mage circle be dissolved and you'll get the templars without any non hostile mages dying.
Nice content man, sub from me! awesome game , awesome humor, awesome editing! Keep it up, now go for DLCs :D
dying was a happy accident is going on my tombstone
You are a shining example of how to be a great UA-camr, Vhoul. No clickbait whatsoever in your titles or thumbnails and yet getting lots of views that you very much deserve. Well done!
Thanks, this means a lot.
i wasnt fully paying attention in the intro cuz i was heating up my food. so i caught rule number three and not number four, and came back to the DLZ lmaooo i had to rewind like wtf did i miss?
rule 4.. it's a very important rule. :D
traps are the true beasts of the game, but magic is so fuckin cool lookin
Morrigan was the best looking thing in the game, you can tell they put extra effort into her model 😂 started my first playthrough this week
Holy hell... "We've got a live one boys!" I have to know, did you stop watching at the first spoiler warning? Did you finish the video? Have you finished the game yet? And if not, can you please come back and tell me how it went when you do? I have so many questions.
@@vhoul I stopped at about the point I’m at in the game. I’m bad at spoiling games for myself but I resisted the urge this time LMAO, your warnings helped 😩😂 I’m playing on nightmare so it’s been a steep learning curve but I’m getting it down, beat the mage tower, red cliff, and about to finish the brecilian forest now. Trying to binge all the games before Veilguard comes out 🫣 I’ll come back n lyk when I finish
@@ericwisniewski2636 Well I'm sure we'd all love to hear about it. You've earned yourself the pin.
I'm not gonna lie, I've never played Kotor as a female char, and uh, yeah I think I should after watching this vid
Looking for a woman's perspective, eh? That's very progressive of you..
Im surprised you didnt use the prologue exploit to get a few extra useful items at the beginning of the game. Not to mention the whole exploit of Atton having the ability to infinitely revive in combat no matter how many times hes downed.
I think I might have mentioned this, but I only really played KotOR 2 a handful of times before this; I was always more familiar with KotOR 1, so I'm not very familiar with a lot of the well-known aspects of the game. But I'm always happy to learn more.
@@vhoul oh, well for the future if you play the prologue all the way up to just before you fix the engine then go back to the start and choose to skip it, you keep all the stuff you found up to that point. I can understand that you not knowing that. The atton thing though, you get a pop-up on the screen about it during peragus explaining that it's his special ability. As long as atton isn't the last to die, he will get back up on his own after a few seconds infinitely
Ok, that veilguard insert in the intro turned even a cynic like me. Kudos.
You know, one good thing about the Veilguard is how it brings people together.
Fantastic video. I may have to have a go at this myself. What was the music during the mine laying montage? It was really catchy
I'm pretty sure it's Survive the Montage by RKVC. I try to source any and all resources in the description. I think I even put the main font I used in there. (I know, none of us are used to anyone putting effort into their descriptions anymore, but mine are still handwritten.)
Do Jade Empire
God just image this game with extras and all cut content with next gen graphics, mechanics and environments and done by people who love the game and world not the money they get
I thought you were Commander Shepard for a moment. Your voice is very similar...
Like my regular voice? I did a lot of impressions throughout the video: Duncan, Batman, Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, Happy Gilmore... I don't know how anyone could ever confuse any of those voices for Shepard, but I've just never heard anyone compare my voice to Shepard's before. huh.
@@vhoul The voice you use to commentate your video, to me - is very Commander Shepard. Or I guess more aptly - Mark Meerish. Edit: I even went back in and listened to another couple minutes today after seeing this reply and, yeah - I'm still hearing it lol. Awesome voice, and loved the video! 13:08 little example moment
@@brianbru Well thanks, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to hear it. What being the guy whose voice I sound like and all, but I'll trust you completely aren't crazy. ;)
If you replay kotor, try a can we get to a million credits (with out menu glitch for shop)
I mean, I could include that as part of a larger challenge, but I feel like there's a really simple, really tedious way to get a million credits without any cheating or glitching whatsoever. Never actually bothered to test it, but I'll try to keep it in mind if I come back to the game.
@@vhoul Fair enough only was something i thought of after some fable millionair runs. If you ever do a fable run, im looking into a theif only run. After doing a demon door only loot run in 1-3. 1 is possible 2 is not 3 is ok but still tough.
I love how everyone is shitting on the failguard 😆
They've had 2 chances to make a sequel to Origins already.. we're all still waiting.
I really love that there are like 2 adult Dragons in 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 age and one of them is optional
Demon Age, Morrigan and Me, Allistair and Archie, Zevran and Friends, Duncan and the Not So Good Really Bad Day... Any of these would have been better choices.
Like even Skyrim has more right to be called dragon age. At least it kinda revolves around dragons. In dragon age dragons have 0 plot or lore relevance. Even archdemon from dao decided to manifest as dragon just for fun xd
2:26 was actually a little disorienting. Cool effect
lmao, I couldn't figure out what you were talking about... then I saw it. forgot I did that.
"Hi, I do stupid shit for seemingly no reason" Alright, subscribed.
Batman: Then you're going to LOVE me.
I'm glad YT decided to recommend your KotOR videos to me. Great format, was a really fun watch. Too bad you can't really do this sort of challenge with SWTOR
Pronouncing the letter Z correctly has earned you my like.
And my axe!
@@vhoul Are you Canadian?
@@cantnevercould9660 yep.
Never leveled up on taris or on the ship, wanted to get as many force powers as possible
43:26 thats not technically true. In Peragus, when the random chrome sith troops storm the hanger before you fly away, if you kill them using the explosive barrels, you cant get their xp
huh.. weird.
I always hated that. Like c’mon, I’m killing the freaking guys, give me XP!!!
I can see this not being all that difficult at all... other than being softlocked.... maybe depending on what difficulty level you play on when, I've soloed many of the hardest boss fights before with just the warden, but that's with him at level 16+. I think the most annoying part would be not having someone to open chests for me... I usually play as a mage.
This was less about difficulty and more about technicality. As in, 'can it physically be done?' I knew many people have done this challenge before me as long ago as when this game was still new. But what I didn't know, is how far they pushed the idea. Whether or not they avoided seemingly non-optional allies, and how many allies you can actually avoid. It was actually once I discovered how to get out of bounds without using Sten that I knew I wanted to do the challenge, as that was the biggest roadblock I assumed my predecessors would have skipped. At the start the challenge was tricky, but it quickly became very easy. I considered doing the challenge without major glitches/exploits to make it harder, but that tended towards a very tedious strategy and I was more interested in variety. I did choose to go with a rogue because I thought it might be harder and more interesting than a mage, which I had assumed some people would have already been familiar with.
I'll remember being the 4th to watch this video when this channel explodes
I love this challenge so much. I'd like to do more, but they're really hard to plan out.
used to play kotor all the time back in the day, you're helping me see the games in a new perspective - love the videos man
This is an insane undertaking. KOTOR2 is my favorite game of all time and I will never ever play it this way lol. It's cool to watch somebody else enjoy it in a completely different way than I do. Nicely done, very impressive that you managed to pull it off.
Yea, I don't know what's wrong with me. ;)
I love that people are making Origins videos still and love the into (Duncan is still one of the coolest characters in the series)
I don't think you have to qualify your statement with 'one of'.
Guess who is grossly underappreciated by the algorithm... its you! Damn son, some lovely high quality content for me to gobble up, with a backlog to enjoy! Allow me to say that it's definitely not you that's the reason for the (as of yet) low view count! Damn you algorithm, DAMN YOU I TELL YOU!
It's a really bad algorithm. I think it took two weeks for it to realize that maybe it should advertise to people who are watching Dragon Age videos. Like idk, maybe that's.. the first thing you should try? *eye roll*
Heh, back in the day, I did solo run with my "immortal" Shapeshifter/Blood Mage, basically try to turn into Flying Swarm, while under the effect of Anti-Magic Ward and see what happens - your character will stay human/elf and would only take mana damage, even if their mana is fully depleted. The constant lack of mana that comes with this setup, can be circumvented with Blood Magic, so spells can be used (though they would still deplete your character's health, so care is advised). The only dangers to look out for, are Dispel Magic, Anti-Magic Burst, and Cleanse Area, as these can nullify your invincibility. Sure, this is cheating of a highest caliber, but it's just so much fun to troll the game's nightmare difficulty for a change.
Cheating? The only rules are the rules you set for yourself.
Instant sub!
1:00:25 this doors open in vanilla
Huh... I thought something was weird. If I can ever remember how to downpatch to vanilla I'll have to check that out.
@@vhoulI can't imagine there's an easier way than just buying it on steam for like 2 dollars next time it goes on sale.
I fucking love this game.. and I guess I’m pretty fortunate to have played Inquisition first lol. I love all the games in this series. I just happen to really appreciate the different tone in DAO from DAI especially.
I used to like 2 and 3, but then I remembered how good Origins was.. and it's just not the same. I liken it to sequels in movies where the director doesn't really understand what made the movie good in the first place. I think it's the tone of DAO that I really fell in love with. That dark atmosphere where literally no matter what you do, nothing is going to turn out right.
dope video im watch8ing it after work eating snacks
Regarding siding with the Templars: you must let Irving die by letting uldred turn all the mages into abominations (run away from him for a while essentially). Gregoir will be upset that his situationship is dead and decree that every surviving mage must die. It’s way more difficult than getting the mages support because Uldred takes foreeeeeeever to corrupt Irving
We'll bang, okay?
Great work, man. Really entertaining. Like a 'calmer' ymfah 😂 Keep it up, u got my sub
I think it's a shame you abandoned the "No Glitching" rule almost immediately. I mean you can beat any game without leveling up if you cheat.
What was I supposed to do? Sit at the door that won't open for 3 hours? There are rules, and if I break them, they are no longer rules anymore. And that's not true. Like at all.
Very enjoyable video man. Id love to see if you could complete the Awakening dlc alone, it also tries to get the player to team up all the time.
The problem with that, is I don't own the awakening dlc and I've never actually played it. I own a copy of DAO for Xbox 360 and a PC disc copy. And for reasons that are entirely BioWare/EA's fault it's not possible to upgrade these copies of the game anymore. I could however buy the Steam version of the game, but it's all like.. patched and stuff. And on general principal I don't like to buy 3 copies of a game. How are the DLCs? From what I've read about them, they've always seemed irrelevant. If you promise they're good or really really bad, I'll think about it.
@@vhoul Personally I really enjoyed the Awakening dlc, from what I remember the story is decent. But just like Origins the companions are a huge part in making the story more engaging so if you play it make sure to do a regular playthrough before any challenge to enjoy the full experience. I wouldnt recommend the other Origins DLC since theyre are all very short like less than 1 hour of playtime while Awakening can be around 10 hours if you do most of the content.
Your introduction reminded me of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. "Come, sit down, and I'll tell you a tale like *none* that you have ever heard." This is a very good thing. :3
