"Dragon Age: Origins is a dark heroic fantasy that doesn't pull any punches. Our fans are in for the most emotionally intense gaming experience we've ever created, and we hope to surprise them with just how dark and gritty it gets!" says Bioware co-General Manager and CEO, Ray Muzyka. EA has released new details regarding the highly anticipated and titularly tweaked RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, with the glut of said details describing it as the bestest most amazingest thing ever. And, much like the latest Harry Potter film, it's the darkest one yet.
Aside from hooking up your heart strings to a tractor and driving off, Dragon Age promises "epic" and scalable party-based combat, numerous magic spells which can be combined for "emergent unique effects," deep customization, and an "emotionally compelling" story that tasks you with choosing sides, forming alliances and choosing your avatar's origin. Add in some "credible digital actors" and you have, well, just what you'd expect from the folks that brought us Mass Effect.
The no-punch-pulling, dark and gritty Dragon Age: Origins is out on PC in early 2009. We'll be sure to update this post with more media assets as soon as we receive them.
Dragon Age is Bioware's 'most emotionally intense' game ever. Ever.
