Dragon Age II: Ultimate Edition — the complete saga of the Champion of Kirkwall
Dragon Age II is the second major chapter of BioWare's RPG universe, and its story is built very differently from the first game. Instead of saving an entire world, you're given one hero — a refugee named Hawke — and one city, Kirkwall, and asked to live through a decade of his life. From a penniless exile fleeing the Blight, your Hawke slowly rises to the title of Champion of the city. It's an intimate, personal and very tense tale where politics, religion and racial conflict matter more than another dark lord. The Ultimate Edition collects this whole story — with every story expansion and bonus in a single package.
What the Ultimate Edition actually is
This is the most complete version of Dragon Age II. It bundles the base game and all the key add-ons: the story expansions The Exiled Prince, Legacy and Mark of the Assassin, plus The Black Emporium with its exclusive vendor, a war mabari and the Mirror of Transformation, along with item, armor and weapon packs. You don't need to buy the DLC separately — everything is already inside one edition. The base game is included, so this is a full standalone purchase, not an upgrade on top of a copy you already own.
The story expansions inside
- The Exiled Prince — adds the companion Sebastian Vael, the disgraced prince of Starkhaven, and his arc of revenge and faith.
- Legacy — a standalone adventure about an ancient evil sealed in the Deep Roads and the secrets of the Hawke bloodline.
- Mark of the Assassin — a heist story featuring the elf Tallis (played by Felicia Day) and a daring raid on an Orlesian estate.
All three expansions are woven directly into the campaign, so you can play them within the main story rather than as a separate mode.
What makes Dragon Age II stand out
The focus here is on character and choice. Your companions — Varric, Isabela, Merrill, Fenris, Aveline, Anders — argue, clash, fall in love and react to your decisions, and your relationships with them decide who stands beside you at the end. Combat is faster and flashier than in Origins: abilities chain into satisfying combos, and on PC you get a tactical pause for those who like placing skills by hand. It's a game about consequences — almost every choice echoes back chapters later.
How you receive the game
This is not an activation code but a Steam Gift. After your order, our bot adds itself to your friends via the invite link, sends the gift, and automatically leaves your friends list once delivered — no need to accept a request by hand. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes. All you do is accept the gift in Steam, and Dragon Age II lands in your library like any other purchased game.
Important gift conditions
For everything to go smoothly, meet two conditions. First: your Steam account region must match the gift region — Steam won't accept a gift made for a different region. Enter your region honestly in the order field. Second: you must not already own Dragon Age II — Steam blocks accepting a gift for a game you already have, and this is the most common cause of failure. Steam Guard is not required; you just need friend requests enabled in your profile settings.
Technical notes
Dragon Age II runs on Windows. It's not a new release, so it runs effortlessly on modern hardware; Steam Deck and Linux owners typically play through the Proton compatibility layer — there's no separate native build, but it usually sets up fine. Since this is a full Steam copy, you get cloud saves and achievements like any other title on the platform.
The world and mood of Kirkwall
Almost the entire story unfolds in Kirkwall — a grim coastal port built on the ruins of the ancient slaver empire of Tevinter. It's a rare case where the RPG doesn't drag you across a continent but makes you truly settle into one place: you learn its districts, watch them change from act to act, and see how the smouldering conflict between templars and mages slowly pushes the city toward an explosion. That focus on a single location makes the story dense and personal — you're not saving an abstract world but deciding the fate of specific people and streets you've come to know.
