This article deals with the historical consciousness in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II

(2009-2011 BioWare) which is a single-player third-person role-playing video game series

within the fantasy-medieval context. In order to know how gameplay operates with its

dystopian fictional present, the article analyzes how the two video games create a spatial and

temporal connection between past, present and future in a fictional history inspired by dystopian

Sword and Sorcery-fantasy. This article is based on the assumption that

understanding the projective identity through a Playing Character (PC) as a part of a flow of

time with a past, a present and a future in the game, is a crucial part of the gameplay. This

article stresses that the two games within the series turn out differently according to the

gameplay;

Dragon Age: Origins develop from an apocalyptic and dystopian place (a world

full of threats) into a eutopian place (a good location) whereas

Dragon Age II remains in a

dystopian plot.
