Can I Run Dragon Age II?
Dragon Age II is an action adventure game from BioWare, released in 2020. Electronic Arts published it. It offers a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 6 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Critics scored it 82 on Metacritic. It is localised into 7 languages according to the store listing. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17.
