I heard some unsettling things about how DRAGON AGE INQUISITION can ruin your SSD. So i did a benchmark test with some weird program to see if something had happened and much to my surprise, i have no idea what i am doing.squeegee joined in and replied with this 12 years ago, 23 minutes later[^] [v] #512,211

It seems to be a persistent story that SSDs can't handle re-writing data. Ars Technica recently did a torture test on some popular SSDs, exposing them to more writes, deletions, and re-writes than most power-users would ever need until they died. The results were that a few drives were close to failure after 700TB of re-writes, and some survived on to withstanding more than one freaking petabyte of writes. Unless Dragon Age is doing something really fucking weird behind the scenes, I think you're probably okay.
