    Best. Update. Ever.

    This is like seeing a new colour for the first time.
    Just when I thought I couldn’t be surprised anymore.

  2. JamieKirby Says:

    So far from the screenshots, the game doesn’t look like it has a future, but i have been decieved in the past and i have been playing Master of Orion 2 since no other game in its genre can beat it, let alone match it in gameplay.

    Maybe the same applies here, where its gameplay more then makes up for how its combat is handled. (it seems more like Neverwinter Nights 2), while the game had potential, the controls and camera put me off.

    I would prefer all these RPGs like Kotor and all those similar to be like Kotor, like the game is truely 3rd Person and NOT like Neverwinter Nights.

    • Isabelle Says:

      Like NWN or NWN2? NWN2 was taken over by Obsidian Entertainment, it was not actually developed by BioWare.

    • ClosetGhost Says:

      Well I don’t think I understand why you like KOTOR combat and not this.

      It is the same basic system the interface is just different. Also you can zoom in to behind your character and play exactly like the way you do in KOTOR or for people who like the NWN and Buldars Gate camera styles they can zoom out into an overhead view.

      The combat controls are handled, as far as I’ve seen from videos, the exact same way as KOTOR *and* NWN you run up right click and start auto attacking then you can queue skills up to use everytime it rolls around to your turn.

      So the combat works the same as KOTOR and similar RPG’s and the camera can be tailored to the way you like it. So I guess the only thing out of what you said that I can’t explain is the interface but seeing as I used to play MMO’s a lot I am not bothered by it.

    • Overhunter Says:

      now this is cool!

    • EWAN Says:

      If you like Master of Orion, try Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain. Its anouther old game but better then the Orion series.

    • Dominus Says:

      The most important part of the game is its content, imo. Graphics and control’s are tied for second, but I can struggle through a game if the lore is gripping.

      However, if you haven’t already, I would definitely recommend picking up The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (bestbuy, walmart, etc) as if you are into playing in a true 3rd person style, the game will knock you off your chair. To this day I have not found a game that tops the Witcher.

    I have just tried downloading from each of the mirrors twice. I do mean all too, even in languages I don’t speak. Since I can post on this jobbie I am assuming it is an issue on the server’s side.

  9. mackloon Says:

    Just wondering if the ring provided to character created uploads is passed on to PS3 and 360 owners. Or is this a PC only frill?

  10. Pandaboy Says:

    Hmm.. Seems like an awesome game.
    Just one thing I thought about when I watched the trailer…
    The “lights/lighting” on the 3d-models was not as good as I expected.. Sometimes
    it looked like colors had too much saturation, and too little contrast.
    I care more about the story & gameplay anyway, so I’ll probably play, and play, and play
    until there’s nothing left to play XD.

  11. Neverar Says:

    Finally! :) This is freaking awesome! I can’t wait for the game…

  12. zombieapocalypse Says:

    So what about on the PSN, will be be able to transfer the character to that format?

  13. me Says:

    really? it’s strictly an exe. file download?.
    so us Mac users don’t get a chance to create a character, or access to the Lucky Stone.

    LAME!.

  14. Lucid Fool Says:

    I haven’t met a Bioware game yet that wasn’t good, if not great! I am absolutely drooling to get my hands on this game! I am most excited about a seemingly adult storyline, not just the usual vanilla fantasy tale… we’ll see how that pans out, but I am excited to jump on in.

  15. kk Says:

    i love this game i humped

  16. Espada # 4 Says:

    awsome i love BioWear and Mass Effect and Blador’s Gate

    • MikeS Says:

      I soooooooo loved Mass Effect and am soooooooo excited about Mass Effect 2 coming out!!!

      I’m mostly playing DragonAge Origins to tide me over until Mass Effect 2 comes out….I don’t normally like fantasy games, but, to be honest DragonAge Origins, has a similiar quality to Mass Effect, which is again why I’m getting DragonAge ;-)

      I’m hoping DragonAge gives the same type of difficult moral questions during the character interactions as Mass Effect, I loved thinking about how best to answer those questions…for me that was the best part of the whole game (lol)!!

  17. MiyaMun Says:

    Am I doing something wrong? The character flickers between being visible and cloaked in darkness, which makes making the character very difficult. I’ve tried putting the settings down.

  18. CelebrenIthil Says:

    Often with those numerous free online MMORPGs, the best part is creating your character and the rest of the game proves to be….sub-par, to be polite. Now, I am fully confident it won’t be the case here with Dragon Age Origins.
    Still, thanks for this character creator which will most probably single-handedly offer me as much fun as 80% of all the past free MMOs I’ve tried! XD
    It’s quite a nice freebie in itself- tough on my part I’m pretty certain to buy the game once it’s out. And yay, happy fun magic ring! :D

  26. tim Says:

    Yeah, I am really excited about this game, and was really excited to download the character creator. But, it is a Windows application, and because I run a stable operating system, I cant use it.

    Now that you’re with EA, take a page from the Blizzard handbook. Mac compatible means more users, which means more sales.

  32. DarkWaterSong Says:

    This is one of the exact ways Telltale games drew me in, by offering interactivity between Tales of Monkey Island a their website. Now if there was something in game (like chicken squashing) that could work like Treasure Hunting (http://www.telltalegames.com/treasurehunt), egads!

    The best part is that Bioware did not need to do this to get me to buy the game. Heck, I was one of the 1st people to pre-order at my local Game Stop and upgraded to a collectors edition as soon as it was announced.

    P.S. the amazing thing about the Treasure Hunt is it let me by the 1st season of Sam & Max for 1/2 off. Chicken Smashing (as see in Stone Prisoner) + half off upcoming down loadable content = GOLD!!!

    Is this all you can do to customise the way your ceractor looks(no hight, weignt,facial)? I mean the amount of sliders was well….. limetted.

    • Irenicus Says:

      Though hopefully they spent that time making sure there spelling was correct. You failed to spell character, height, weight, limited and customize correctly when there is an automatic spell checker running on this site.

      • wryterra Says:

        Well I can’t defend the spelling errors too strongly, but customise is the correct spelling in my neck of the woods.

      • Literate One Says:

        And you’re grammar isn’t perfect either, “making sure there spelling”. Should have used “THEIR”.

      • cookieheadjenkins Says:

        If you’re going to be a spelling Nazi you should consider checking your own posts before submitting them. It’s “their spelling”, not “there spelling”. Also, “customise” is spelt correctly if you’re from England, where English comes from. :-) x

      • Fidelius Says:

        HAHA! and you misspelled ‘their’…

      • Bodhi Says:

        And you used the wrong there, it should have been: making sure their spelling was correct. I hope this has been a learning curve for you dear man.

    Does anyone know if this works with the Xbox 360 version of the game as well?

  44. Shadowolfe23 Says:

    This game looks awesome!!! I’ve recently finished my fourth play through of mass effect and have completed both kotors so if this game is as intense as those I think we are all in for a treat. From what I’ve seen thus far dragon age is gonna give the fable series a serious run for its money, literally.

  45. TheJew27 Says:

    Just curious, does the character creator import your character to PC version only, or will it work with the Xbox version? Anyone know?

  46. sludge Says:

    can i get this ring on my 360?

  47. Makarion Says:

    Out of curiosity, why is it that the “over the shoulder” approach is so prevalent? I’ve always preferred first-person perspective, for immersion reasons. At least Oblivion gave you a choice!

  48. kdub Says:

    is there a mac download?

    • Nom Says:

      Alas, no. Thus far they’ve announced it for Win32 and both consoles, but not Mac.

      I did pull down the PC version and tried to install it under CodeWeavers CrossOver, but the installer barfed. Also, I believe they use DX 10 on PC, which CrossOver doesn’t currently implement.

      NWN (but not the toolset) ran on Win32 / Mac / Linux, so it’s a bit disappointing that BioWare has moved away from that.

  49. Bioraptor b Says:

    This game does look amazing and I have like many pre ordered it and hopefully will be slaying pretty soon.
    In speculation to whether the character creator can be imported onto the 360?I am doubtful that this will be the case,although for me this is not the end of the world if it turns out to be the case nor will it cloud my opinions of what looks to be a great game.My final thought is I only hope the control system is polished up so it will not spoil the experience

  50. AdmiralWolfgang Says:

    I wasn’t aware this game was being made until today. After watching the video’s I can say that this game has gone on my must buy list. Kudos to Bioware for taking the time and effort to build finely crafted, carefully thought out plot to their games. This is the way an RPG should be done.

    I can’t wait to finish downloading the character editor and get started playing with it.

  54. BugsAlpha Says:

    To those who wondered,
    I’ve read it somewhere that these pre-Created Characters will only work with the PC version.

    Since this game is still under development ( at least I think), they might make them available, like downloadable from Xbox Live network or something…

    What I wonder about is:
    In what way, and how many other ways of character creation will be available in the final game?
    I mean, let’s say I want my Character’s nose to be “broken by an axe” or so , but “nose breaking” will be only added in the final, if this is the case, whether or not will I feel compensated by that ring for having a rather too modern non-broken nose for a Character living in Draic age…

  110. Sloan Says:

    This looks like any other neverwinter nights game, I hope its not , hopefully the graphics with be full 1080p and not 720 .Bioware has been known for their creation tools and thi aspect alone cn aid the games lfe, but can you allow other people online to play ina campain you have made? for people like me tha texture and make animatinos and sounds it could be a fun game depending on the price point and what are the recomended system requirements?

  111. Jess Q. Says:

    I just wanted to chime in that Mac users like to play games, too. Theoretically we can run Boot Camp, but if we want to do that legally, it costs us another $100 or so (if we’re not students) to get a copy of Windows. Currently, I’ve got a Mac, but no Windows yet.

    So while I’ll probably get this for the 360, it’d be nice to be able to create a character on my Mac. Any chance at making a Flash version for us Mac-heads to play with? Just to see what it’s like? I’d be okay if it didn’t allow me to import my character into a game later.

    (Flash isn’t great, but, it does function. Technically.)

    I’m a huge BioWare fan and I’d probably enjoy your games better on my Mac (which IS a PC) than on my 360. If only you made such a thing… :)

    Uhm… The words in the buttons won’t load so I have no clue what I am doing… Help please I’m just randomly clicking buttons.

  120. fbrh Says:

    same here! Oblivion is great but when you have finished the game you need new stuff. like this!

  121. Nina Says:

    I swear to God I must have this game!

  122. Nate Says:

    What are the requirements for this creator? I downloaded and ran the program but it keeps crashing my laptop…=[

  123. luxdelux Says:

    “Yeah, I am really excited about this game, and was really excited to download the character creator. But, it is a Windows application, and because I run a stable operating system, I cant use it.

    Now that you’re with EA, take a page from the Blizzard handbook. Mac compatible means more users, which means more sales”

    Wow get over yourself, just because you are dumb enough to pay 3x the price for a product that is no better or stable than what 99.9% of the market is currently using doesn’t mean that you should be dumb enough to expect Bioware to cater to idiots with wallets that are bigger than their brains. . Wake up and try not to buy into the marketing spin next time and maybe you will be able to jump into a great game like this when the rest of us do.

    • bualdar Says:

      Actually you can understand why he would be upset if you where not randomly pulling statistics out of your but… Mac users have jump to 20% of the market and are proven to be “more reliable and more stable” PC mag… so yea go ahead and lash out…

  124. Steve12 Says:

    Will this game be like Knights of The Old Republic or along the lines of viking

  125. MikeS Says:

    Does anyone know if DragonAge will have the player answer difficult morality questions during dialog/cut scene and character interactions, as they had to in Mass Effect?

    Because to me, that was the very best part of the entire game, not so much the game play but changing the plot direction base upon the way I answered questions and whether or not I used charm or intimidation!

    I really loved using Charm, and again does anyone know if DragonAge will have a same or similiar morality type system?

  126. Bill Says:

    any chance us console users, PS3 please could have a character creator. might keep us uk residents happy seeing as we have to wait MUCH longer than anyone else. hoping cod6 aint too good or DAO may just slip off my list. should release all formats together come on!

  127. Vader Says:

    Wait this isn’t going to be a game when, You have a turn to attack then they have a turn to attack is it because those games suck!

  128. S0m Says:

    I just love what Bioware does in every single game they make. Now they have the incredible graphics like Mass Effect combined with the amazing character creation. The next step for them is to take the lessons they learn from this game and make it in the same RPG style but also have a built in setting where you can play just as you did in Mass Effect. Then they WOULD be gods of game making.

  129. higley Says:

    Why is it I’ve downloaded this twice and no luck…? I keep getting an error message: “Installer Integrity Check has failed…..”

    What’s the problem?

  130. Lypoximaeus Says:

    I believe it will be like this: If you upload your character, when the game comes out, they’ll send you an email, (since you have to have one to even upload the character), which will contain some sort of code which you can redeem via in-game somehow.

  131. pmorales Says:

    I have been following the releae of this game for awhile now. Im a mass effect fan so i was loking for the 2nd part when i cam across this game. Thia game is going to be awesome. I love the screenshots and videos of gameplay. Cant wait. I pre-ordered my copy.

  132. Style Says:

    outstanding trailer, im looking forward to cracking this thing open this morning.

    got about 20 minutes til i head out… <.< anticipation is about to kill me.

    -Style (and yea, im a str8 dude)

  133. higley Says:

    Got it. Made my character and uploaded it to the server. It’s Nov. 3. Do I still get my ring when my DAO comes this weekend?

  134. -=NeoN=- Says:

    so it seems that it will be like gta iv with the creating player sistem of sims 3…

  135. adekoye Says:

    I just downloaded your “character” creator and was highly disappointed by the lack of ethnicity in the character engine.

    I enjoyed the “talk” behind the process, but the inability to have an ethnic character with a taste “other” than the anglo saxon background has discouraged me from investing money on the game.

    great art and effort…but you all really missed a spot here.

    there are latin, african, indian, asian, and eurasian options neglected.

    the character generator has to be able to adjust itself to the world of globalization.

    its a real shame I was so looking forward to buying it.

    please let me know if this changes.

    no harm intended, but as soon as I played with it I noticed that part.

    thanks I really appreciate the offer.

    • PeaceInChaos Says:

      There is a way to change the ethnicity of your character. It is not labeled as ethnicity but rather tone under the catagory of skin when designing your characters looks.

  136. tobeinfinityvai Says:

    I’m just buy this game . It’s so great cool real game !!! I never play before !!

  137. alex Says:

    th egame look really nice, i played many rpg starting from baldurs gate plantescape torment, final fantasy saga, diablo1 and many games alike. gameplay look nic but i would know if this game is alike oblivion, single mode, or like neverwinter nnights that personally i think that is really crap, nice graphyc but basically is like the first,

    actually i am playing world of warcraft and i not think there will be many others game that could beat is gameplay, of course i pay $ for mounty fee but i never bought others game, so as cost not seems excessive :P

    i like 3th person play and control just 1 char in a last world with no limitate population, all those games rocks as ultima you can see, that was the first really awesome game

  138. Fillask Says:

    Why doesn’t anyone seem to be able to write Baldur’s Gate correctly? :P

    Anyways, the only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because of my dreary computer… Guess I’ll have to upgrade it sometime soon.

  139. hqt Says:

    how do i get to use character from the online game

  149. Jersh Says:

    Yeah you do NOT want to install this shit if you have the full game already installed. It WROTE OVER the original game exe -.- and thus i had no way to play the game. Also when i tried to uninstall the ‘character creation’ it deleted my entire game. So woohoo, 12 hours of gameplay completely wasted and now i have to reinstall the entire game again.

    Way to mess up on your programming bioware.

    Greetings Noble Gamers,
    I bid the well brave adventures and ask that u listen to the prattle of a man who has been playing Bioware games from the old days before the Black Isle was comsumed by ancient magic. Dragon Age: Origins is Awesome!!!! Still it is a game after all and every game regardless of maker is going to have problems. That is just the laws of video game programming. The ture test is how the makers of that game handle those problems. I unfourtnally do not own the pc version due a serious computer crash of my most valued system and do not get to behold the glory that is DAO in it’s true enviorment. Still, the Xbox360 version has already shown me that the bounds of gaming are changing for the better. I love the game and yet, I have seen minor glitches that I pray Bioware and Ea will fix. Such as in the Dalish story line random character disapper completly, buy u can still talk yo them. Also, during conversations the characters’ voice’s fade out,but thier mouths keep moving. The most assured foul of the xbox360 game is the seperate accounts of EA.com to play the game. Although this does provide benifits it also robs my friends from enjoying the cool collector edition items I got with the game. Sharing cool in game items should always be a priority not a privalige. It makes me feel that they did it to sell more games or get me to talk my friends into buy more microsoft points to unlock items I paid full price for once! Quite upsetting that GameInformer Magazine Said “Ea’s involment would not affect DAO in no way whatsoever” Wrong! The thing that upsets me the most is that my friend not only lost out on the items, but it fragged my Xbox’s Harddrive and caused him to lose his carachter 4hrs into the game! Damn Darkspawn! EA is like microsoft! they suck up good companys and corrupt them slowing! They should go back to making nothing,but Sports Games and stay away from true game makers like Bioware! If u think I am being unfair just try playing Mercinaries 2 on Xbox360 and see if u can count the glitches. I lost count after 12 and that is alot for one game! That is just how I feel so do not send the Templars after me Ea or lock out my account because I have a strong opinon it is just who I am. In closing, please fix ur game for the Xbox360 Bioware! I hate spending my money on games the are not fully tested and patched. U guys should no better,but Alas I must relent. DAO IS A NICE ESCAPE TO A WORLD FULL OF POTENTIAL AND I MUST SAY GLITCHES AND ALL I AM SOLD! U guys did good just rushed it alittle I think. Fogive me if I come off harshly my friends and good hunting.

    p.s. Why did u take out the main character’s vocie? It should have stayed like in MASS EFFECT! Still, Awesome game can’t wait for DAO2 & 3. I love trilogy games!

    Dragonage looks great…but i’m begining to dubt its quality as all these upsale options are comeing forth.

    Special armour and levels for buying the premium edition of the game? Bullshit. A great game sells on its own.

    If Bioware was really about the fanbase, you could get your gay little special items by buying the game FOR THE SAME PRICE AS EVERYONE ELSE, but in a timely fashion, by reserving it or something.

    I haven’t seen such a large scale sellout campaign for a games release yet…lets hope Dragonage is good where it matters, in gameplay, not in marketing.

    For all the people that obviously can’t read the main page listing for the item, I’ll copy it here:

    “*Item is available on all platforms by logging into the game with same account used to upload your character”

    For those, that need a 1st grade level explaination… It means you link your account online to the account your using in the game. Then you upload the created character online, launch the game, and use that character.

I have played almost 60hrs on this game on my PS3 and just because I have a P4 computer shouldn’t restrict me from participating. There isn’t anything on here saying what sort of specs I needed. Is there any way for me to try and get this DLC?

  196. twitterkilo Says:

    Since this thread will go on forever apparently, if you have the PC version, and download the free “Dragon Age Toolset” you can change the appearance of a character you already have in game. So if you don’t like your face, but you’ve already completed half the game and don’t want to start over, you just create a new character, setup their face how you like it, then use the toolset to copy and paste their face onto one of your Saved Games.

    So I downloaded the Character Creator, created a character, uploaded it as directed, started the game and I have this DAO_Promo whatever download that won’t move past 0%. I assume this is The Lucky Stone ring since I don’t have it and can’t find it anywhere. Have they removed that content for us late comers? If so what about people who have to reinstall the game for some reason (like say a hard drive crash)?

  198. Oriam13 Says:
