As the spiritual successor to BioWare's
Baldur's Gate™, one of the most successful role-playing games in
the industry, Dragon Age: Origins represents BioWare's return
to its roots, delivering a fusion of the best elements of existing
fantasy works with stunning visuals, emotionally-driven narrative,
heart-pounding combat, powerful magic abilities and credible digital
actors. The spirit of classic RPGs comes of age, as Dragon Age:
Origins features a dark and mature story and gameplay.
"We're thrilled to be returning
to BioWare's fantasy roots, with Dragon Age: Origins representing
the culmination of over a decade of experience," said Ray
Muzyka, co-General Manager and CEO, BioWare and Vice President,
Electronic Arts. "Dragon Age: Origins is a dark heroic fantasy
that doesn't pull any punches. Our fans are in for the most
emotionally intense gaming experience we've ever created, and we
hope to surprise them with just how dark and gritty it gets!"
BioWare will be demonstrating some of
the compelling features of Dragon Age: Origins behind closed
doors at E3, including:
- Epic Party-Based Combat – Dragon
Age: Origins will introduce an innovative, scalable combat
system, as players face large-scale battles and use their
party's special abilities to destroy hoards of enemies and
massive creatures.
- Powerful Magic – Raining down
awesome destruction on enemies is even more compelling as
players apply "spell combos," a way of combining
together different spells to create emergent unique effects.
- Deep Customization – Players
will develop their characters and gain powerful special
abilities (spells, talents and skills) and discover
ever-increasing weapons of destruction.
- Your Story, Your Way – With its
emotionally compelling story, players choose with whom they wish
to forge alliances or crush under their mighty fist, redefining
the world with the choices they make and how they wield their
power.
- Origin Stories – Players will
select and play a unique prelude that provides the lens through
which the player sees the world and how the world sees the
player. The player's choice of Origin will determine who they
are and where they begin the adventure, as they play through a
customized story opening that profoundly impacts the course of
every adventure.
