Dragon Age: Origins - blood party

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

Eight hours into a preview build of Dragon Age: Origins and we can’t get the blood off. The crimson evidence of our violence still stains our hands, our armor, and our entire party. It’s even in our hair. Whether you’ve slain a pack of wild beasts or put a gang of mercenaries to rest, in Dragon Age: Origins there will be blood - lots and lots of blood ... » Read More

Dragon Age: Origins – hands-on

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

First things first: there’s a lake-load of blood in the game proper, but certainly there’s nothing to rival a limb-lopping fest like Dead Space. And, as far as sexy times go, think God of War II pre-watershed tame. ... » Read More

Dragon Age: Origins – hands-on

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

In less than three hours, I’d been appointed commander of a dwarven army, only to be tricked by a member of the royal council into committing fratricide - killing my brother, the true heir to the throne. I have unseated my father's kingship over the dwarven capital of Orzammar. I have disgraced my house. I am an exile from my people. ... » Read More

Dragon Age: Origins

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

Since we last saw Dragon Age its name has gained extra weight. According to Bioware the Origins reference is twofold: both a nod to the company setting aside recent projects such as Mass Effect and returning instead to its Baldur’s Gate roots, and also a hint at the game’s opening hours. The first is exciting for all RPG fans, but especially for console players. ... » Read More

Dragon Age: Origins

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

BioWare’s spun us some epic space operas of late, but the developer’s roots have always been firmly planted in the fantasy setting, à la Neverwinter Nights and Baldur’s Gate. The return to elves ‘n’ ogres territory was inevitable, and the pendulum now swings back with Dragon Age: Origins, a spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate (Interplay still owns the rights to BG). ... » Read More

Dragon Age

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

Dec 25, 2007 Ten years ago, when the RPG masters BioWare released their first big game, Baldurs Gate, we were content with the highest fantasy: to play along with template elves and grinning kobolds. But something has changed since then. With authors such as George R. R. Martin producing grittier, bloodier takes on fantasy, and filmmakers like Peter Jackson emphasizing the war and corruption at the heart of Lord of the Rings, its no longer enough to fill a fantasy game with orcs. Fantasy has ... » Read More

Dragon Age

PC Preview | Dragon Age: Origins

For years, RPGs had to rely on text to communicate their stories, dialogue and scenes. Technological advances created new avenues - we started seeing expressions, hearing voices, understanding how characters felt without being told "Bob is angry!" But it's never reached the level of sophistication we've grown used to in other media. Where are the pregnant pauses, the glowering looks, the terrified faces and the cheeky grins that would give our heroes and villains true depth? BioWare ... » Read More
