Not to be outdone by the Mass Effect Team, BioWare has also released a new trailer for their upcoming game Dragon Age: Origins, dubbed “Blur”. Much like their previous trailer, this one is dark and violent, thankfully they did save “The New *Hit” for just the last couple seconds. As with the ME2 trailer, Blur makes me that much more excited to play the game, due to hit the streets October 20th 2009.
The more I learn about Dragon Age: Origins, I can see that BioWare is really trying to make this series darker and grittier than any other RPG they’ve done in the past. The Dragon Age isn’t made of knights in shining armor who fight for truth, justice and the strictest moral fibre. The prequel novel The Stolen Throne was full of flawed heroes, who showed more dimension in their character—for better and for worse—than you typically get with most fantasy literature. In an effort to further grunge up Dragon Age, the folks at BioWare have update their original leather belt buckle looking logo to something more streamlined with a swath of blood smeared across it.
On a side note, for fans who want to take Dragon Age old school, BioWare has teamed up with Chris Pramas, and RPG publisher Green Ronin to develop a pen and paper port of the Dragon Age: Origins the video game. Which you can learn more about here.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
