    So what's this Dragon Age thingy, then? You get to roleplay dragons or something?

    Note: Second post! :D

    It's biowares upcoming title, it will use bioware's own thoughtup rules though, so it's not really D&D related. I vote for cover it :) this will be great!

    Hmm, I personally want to see a 'The' put in front of the title. It has a better ring to it, and goes along with their naming idea (after the iron age and whatnot).
    Sounds interesting so far, methinks they could do better than the combat system they have there.

    If it's bioware, it's gotta be good. I'm watching this title!

    I dunno... There'll be no Dwarves, Elves and Halflings, though there will be Dwarf-like, Elf-like and Halfling-like races. That doesn't sound very promising. I don't know what to think of it. Then again, this is bioware we're talking about, so I should probably just have faith :p

    I just saw Newerwintervaults coverage of it and it looks great. It sounds like a mix between NWN and BG. So I'm looking forward to it

    Nice to see SP getting on the ball so quickly! I'll definitely be keeping an eye here for any new DragAge related info...


    BTW... DragAge... sounds like a new Broadway production about Transvestites! lol

    Thanks, reepnorp. This game has already reminded me that being set in D&D or not has no inherent positive or negative value for a game. I do hope the system will work fine. Well, to be honest, I enjoyed the Fallout system more than D&D rules. If they will ever adapt it for quasi-mediaeval worlds full of magic, it will be one of the happiest days in my life.

    The guy says "let the speculation begin". Omfg, someone cram him in the hurt locker.

    I hate it when someone on the development team plays games like that... :)

    I'm just damn glad to see two (2) new game forums pop up here at SP.

    Chevy - See Lionheart (the only problem with the game is that it supposedly really sucks)

    I've got it Aik, and it both sucks, and is good. The game is really split into two halves. The first half is fun, with lots of quests. The second half is more dull than IWD2 with non-stop enemies. Also, companions are completely useless nd quickly become redundent. Still, it may be worth playing once.

    Finally a game where I can look forward too, with fallout III of the hook and Heroes V a long way ahead, this will be great.

    That's how it supposed to be done, no rushing to make an unrealistic deadline.
