Dragon Age: Origins contest offers $12,500, global dominance

by Griffin McElroy { Oct 26th 2009 at 1:50PM }

Hardcore fans of brutally violent role-playing games will soon travel from their homes in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France and handful of other nations to compete in the Dragon Age: Origins Warden's Quest tournament. Ten teams of four players from across the globe will be vying for $12,500 in cold, hard cash, and bragging rights for their respective nation. Nuclear weaponry is no longer the world's most valuable asset -- leet video game skillz, however, are.

The teams will be going head-to-head, receiving points based on the amount of experience and kills they've accumulated, as well as how much of the game they've played through. Low-scoring teams will be eliminated, giving the whole event an Olympic games meets Thunderdome meets Nick Arcade feeling that's really working for us.

This seems odd for a game not many have even touched. All they really have to work from is a few gameplay videos.

And what's the point of "teams" if it's not multiplayer? Give one person global accolades and world domination... oh and ALL of the $12,500.
