Title: New BioWare PC RPG: Dragon Age
Post by: cevik on May 08, 2004, 12:21:56 PM
I happened upon this as I was surfing today.  BioWare will be showing off a new PC RPG based on a new world at E3.  Not many details about it yet, but BioWare is a company to watch, so I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

Definitely hope we hear something about Dragon Age from E3 this year. I am curious now as to what type of RPG it will be. RPGs must be making a comeback (KoTOR?) for Bioware to be staking on two more.

Gamespot article on /. about game #2 Witcher: (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/thewitcher/news_6029306.html)
CD Projekt Red Studio has stated that the game will include a cooperative mode of play in addition to a single-player mode, although no specific details are available at this time.


I think that Dragon Age will likely be similar, because the development cycle for something Massively Multiplayer would need to be much longer. The screenshots that /. has of Witcher aren't all that bad, but coming from a Polish developer might make translating the story and ideas difficult.

I appreciate you much more for being the courteous nurturing husband, seeing his wife off, than for being the obsessed fanboi gamer looking to be the onf shouting "F1RST@!!".
