BioWare Community Coordinator Chris Priestly dropped in on the Dragon Age: Origins forum late last night with a complete rundown of the PC version’s system requirements, including minimum specs for XP and Vista and the recommended specs. Overall the requirements seem pretty accessible, although the 20 GB hard drive space requirement definitely stands out. But on the bright side that beefy HD requirement is a good indicator of how massive the game is going to be.
Full spec list after this.

Very reasonable indeed … sort of surprising, hopefully this means the engine is pretty well optimized, unlike NWN2!
