Dragon Age: Origins Preview

The guys at Loot Ninja bring us the latest GDC-based preview of BioWare’s multi-platform RPG, Dragon Age: Origins.

There are six different origins stories that you can begin the game with as you take on the role of a Grey Warden to stop the spread of Blite, an evil force in the world. There is extensive character customization you can do before starting the game, as is expected with RPG’s or this caliper. You’ll journey with a group of three followers to aid in your quests. In the demo shown, we got to see Morrigan, a seductive sorceress, Sten, an 8 foot tall Canary warrior, and Leliana, a (hot chick who likes everyone).

The demo started off with the village of Redcliffe being assaulted and you needing to help out. What’s cool is that you can just say no and watch Redcliffe burn to the ground. Granted, this will have adverse affects on your play down the line, but the choices are there. Every choice you make affects the approval rating of each member of your group. Piss someone off enough and they’ll leave your ass.
