According to Previews' February order form, Mass Effect isn't the only BioWare property getting the action figure treatment from toy manufacturer DC Direct. Located on the form are four listings for statuette'd Dragon Age: Origins characters, including Morrigan, Loghain, Duncan and, everyone's favorite troublemaker, Genlock. No price is listed for these figures, but a release date of September 29 is mentioned.
Though we know it's not technically feasible, we're still a little disappointed that we can't get a figure made of our customizable protagonist. We're pretty sure DC Direct wouldn't know to make him look like Ernest Borgnine, but with a horrifically long chin. Nor would they know to call the figurine by his Christian name, Borgnine Mountainjaw.

I loved the game but the characters in Dragon Age couldn't be any more generic fantasy.

I'm with Fox, here. Yahtzee made the same point, but eloquently!

Yahtzee also complained about Torchlight because of having to click to do things.
He is a comedian not a reviewer.

i liked Olde Timey Carth and Olde Timey Kreia the most

Old timey kreia? Wynne was nothing like Kreia. Wynne was a helpful concerned wise old gramma, while Kreia was a creepy blind soothsayer trying to manipulate you.

Yahtzee's humor isn't that great either. It's the definition of "quit gettin' mad about video games." I'm not sure what people find so hilarious about someone getting super spergy about games, but whatever.

I haven't played much of this game, but from what Alistair told me he seems to be an important character, and he's with you even before you meet Morrigan.
Is he really not that special?

It is feasible to have custom characters made, just not for $15. Harmonix has been offering custom figures of your Rock Band avatar for awhile now.

Did anyone else think Alister was a whiny version of Aragorn?

That pissed me off slightly. He has a chance to be king of all the lands and he whines. I almost wanted to choose the option so he gets executed

He tells you he's meant to be king about 2 hours into the game. I doubt its a spoiler

Well first off, they're called Genlocks and secondly, you're an idiot shut up.

Why do you write about writers you don't even know? Griffin talked about how he's played Dragon Age for a good 40 hours on the podcast, plenty of time to encounter "Genlocks". Asshole
