Dragon Age: Origins Preview

Gamer.tm has kicked up a quick preview of Dragon Age: Origins, though it doesn’t appear to be based upon any hands-on time with the game.

Origins looks set to push the boundaries of individualised gaming even further than previous stable efforts, not only by giving each of the six available races entirely different prologue chapters for their adventure imagine if Fallout 3 started everyone in a different vault but also by emphasising racial and class tensions between the game’s many different races. Bethesda’s game clearly laid down the boundaries between its cast of ghouls, raiders, mutants and humans, but here Bioware will force players to choose a race and live according to the social divisions imposed upon it, with your quests and interactions as well as the additional heroes who join your party determined by the ingrained attitudes of others as much as the value of your deeds.
