Things will not end well between the Dalish Elves and the werewolves. But Dan Tudge, Dragon Age's executive producer, would probably lay a Delayed Blast Fireball on our premises if I go too much into it. This is the rough part about previewing RPGs: It's hard for the host to showcase a lot of things without trampling over the narrative in the process, and as a non-invested onlooker, it's hard for you to care what's happening. You've just met these people, in a sense, and the character navigating the dialog trees is one who's been molded by a stranger. That amounts to likely quite a few moral quandaries whose resolutions you've had no input in. And really, what's an RPG character besides a Gordian knot of attributes, talents, ethical ratings, and miscellaneous magic items?

Dragon Age: Origins Progress Report: Choices
BioWare delivered some disappointment last week when it announced that the PC version of Dragon Age: Origins, which it describes as the spiritual heir to its classic Baldur's Gate franchise, has been delayed. Originally scheduled to ship early in 2009, the PC version will now ship simultaneously with the PS3 and Xbox 360 games that are due out in the second half of the year. EA, which owns BioWare, said that the delay allows it to create one concentrated marketing push for the game, rather than having a staggered release spread over a year. Still, to blunt the bad news a bit, BioWare stopped by the offices last week to give us our first good look at Dragon Age since E3 last summer.
