Dragon Age: Origins Wardens’ Quest Competition

GameSpot UK is hosting a new Dragon Age: Origins contest, in which three lucky winners will be shipped off to London for a four-player, 24-hour “marathon” competition. $50,000 is up for grabs, though it’s unclear what exactly the competition will entail or what “RPG skills” you have to possess. Anyway, the details:

How do you feel like putting yourself in with a chance of winning a share of $50,000? Well, that’s what is on offer for the winning team at the upcoming launch event for EA and Bioware’s upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins, and we’ve got three places at the finals to give away to some of you lot. And for those of you not lucky enough to be selected, we’ve got a total of ten download codes for the game’s premium digital edition.

If you win then EA will look after getting you to London for the event, and take care of you while you’re here. This includes train travel from your nearest British Rail station, travel within London and three days hotel accommodation. All of this–and the game’s rating–mean that you have to be 18 or over to enter, I’m afraid. if you enter and are underage you won’t get in to the event, so please don’t.

As Dragon Age: Origins – Wardens’ Quest is a 24-hour marathon task for teams of four, we need to make sure that you’re also up to snuff when it comes to RPG skills. As this is slightly hard to measure, we want you to tell us what your proudest RPG moment is, and back it up with a screenshot or similar picture if at all possible — though this isn’t essential. This could be an MMO-moment–maybe beating a tough WoW hardmode, or getting a legendary item–it might be getting hold of a particularly hard item in a Final Fantasy game… it all depends what you’re proudest of achieving in any sort of RPG you can think of. A screenshot isn’t absolutely necessary… but if you haven’t got proof, I recommend giving us a bit more background on the moment in question so we believe you.

So, how do I enter, I hear you cry? Well, we’ve decided to open up all manner of ways for you to do so. You can use twitter, by tweeting @gamespotuk , you can enter in the comments below, you can email us at competitions@gamespot.co.uk , or you can send us a carrier pigeon–though it should be noted that proof of sending will not count as proof of receipt.
