Dragon Age: Origins character creator, community site active

by Justin McElroy { Oct 14th 2009 at 8:00AM }

We're not sure how totally into Dragon Age: Origins you have to be to create a character for the game three weeks before you can do anything with it, but lube up your eyeballs and prepare to get your stare on; the character creator we told you about earlier this month has just gone live. (You can grab it from Big Download here).

If you'd prefer to be a bit more constructive with your Dragon Age: Origins lust, you can check out the BioWare Social Network, which also launched today. The site's the perfect forum to participate in the time-honored internet ritual of telling other people that their character builds are useless, only three weeks before the game's even out! God bless you, technology.

Both the character creator and the BWSN can be found on the official Dragon Age site.

Damn web-blocking work bastiches! This would be a fun diversion on my lunch break.

I wonder if the PC character creator will be as robust as the console version. I'd love to get an idea of what my options are.

Don't you mean the other way around?

I played with the character creator yesterday and now I'm jones'n for the game. I wish the PC one supported Games for Live. I'll probably get the 360 version for the achievements.

Thanks... now I'm really bummed I can't mess with this :(

lol

There isn't much to the creator. Sure, I can make a guy who looks like a biker, but with a grand total of three classes and inability to actually pick starting skills, the customization is weak. It's heavily cosmetic.

That said, I still have high hopes for the game itself, I just won't be able to get the skill variety I had hoped for.

OremLK @ Oct 14th 2009 9:51AM

I think the character creator itself was somewhat limited (for example only being able to pick two backgrounds), which seems kind of silly to me.

Still a day one purchase.

You can take any of the origins. It all depends on your race and class.

Human - Fighter or Rogue - Human Noble
Dwarf - Fighter or Rogue - Dwarf Noble, Dwarf Commoner
Elf - Fighter or Rogue - City elf, Dalish elf
Human or Elf - Mage - Magi origin

Total of 6 origins.

Yeah, I tried to run this on my netbook yesterday. 256MB of graphics RAM, lots of goodies...fail.

iHavepants {SteamPSN: Arkanti} @ Oct 14th 2009 10:21AM

That wouldn't be shared graphics memory would it?

Dr. Bradwart [100% Reagan Conservative!] @ Oct 14th 2009 10:22AM

Yeah, shared with the 2GB main. I didn't really expect it to work anyway, but I did give it my best shot. I even made the effort of pressing the overclock button!

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 14th 2009 10:44AM

Wow, i think this is the first character creator ever that my character didn't look like a horrible abomination to humanity or out of place in the game no matter what I did.

iHavepants {SteamPSN: Arkanti} @ Oct 14th 2009 12:18PM

I made Voldemort http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii129/Frederickichardson/Voldemort.jpg?t=1255536990

Kunikos @ Oct 14th 2009 2:15PM

Whats with Voldemort's nose? It looks more like Michael Jackson with no hair. LOL

Godstine @ Oct 14th 2009 11:01AM

Yeah. I don't even know.

Discotheque @ Oct 14th 2009 11:37AM

That's it I'm gonna make Aragorn.

sonofman @ Oct 14th 2009 1:54PM

So, is their a sexual preference slider??

Or is your sexual preference determined by big moral choices you make in-game?

Lesbian elves.... here I come...

....

................... I mean...

Kunikos @ Oct 14th 2009 2:16PM

if the past is any indication there will be no gay options

iHavepants {SteamPSN: Arkanti} @ Oct 14th 2009 3:45PM

Jade Empire had a homosexual male romance.

Your name is Chinese and you're spamming this site with a random site that sells stuff. Why am I not surprised? I bet if I click your name, you'll have spam on all the other sites on the weblogs network.
