Dragon Age: Origins Preview

OXM has put together a quick preview of Dragon Age: Origins, with a specific focus on whether or not the game has enough “RPG stuff”.

Dragon Age will be as huge, masterfully constructed and smart as every other RPG BioWare has put out since 1998. But the fans of those RPGs are grown up now, and that means the studio is trying not to shy away from blood and sex, and that means some imbecile figured they’d try and express this with Marilyn Manson.

…

But it’s even bigger than that, as Dan Tudge, the game’s executive producer, explains: “It’s a huge story. With the Origin stories there’s so much dialogue that’s particular to your Origin, but also your race, class, gender and choices you’ve made. In certain conversations you’re only hearing five to 15 per cent of the recorded dialogue.”
