It turns out yesterday's big Dragon Age reveal -- after years of silence -- was to dump a bucket of MS Paint all over the game's logo. Voilà! Dragon Age: Origins. Same game ... slightly different name.
The new game site does hint at a world builder feature, which BioWare faithful may remember from the first Neverwinter Nights. "Are you a world builder or modder? We have epic news for you but our cruel masters have forbidden us from speaking on pain of death," teases a message on the site. TiVo alert: GameTrailers TV will air the debut Dragon Age: Origins trailer at 1:00am Saturday (aka Friday night) on Spike TV.

Well, they've got about 500 employees now, which is relatively large for one studio. You could split that in several different directions.
And if I remember correctly, they started work on everything they've announced prior to being engulfed by EA. Surprising, eh?

I wouldn't say that Dragon Age is being "cranked" out. It's been in development since 2003.

Isn't Dragon Age supposed to be an MMO? A world builder could be a unique feature for an MMO. For example, Bioware could pick and choose which ones to patch into the main game as well as official ones that they build. I guess there's a bit of potential there.

Dragon Age is an RPG. It's the "spiritual successor" to the Baldur's Gate series.

The new subtitle reeks of EA poor marketing.
On the other hand, I can't wait for the "POP The Official Game of the Movie of the Game based on The Original Game" game.
