    Games Domain and Games Daily have posted a preview of Dragon Age. Here's a clip:

    Players will be able to choose between everything a 3rd person exploration mode, or an overhead tactical view depending on their preferences. The exploration mode allows players to take in the fantastic architecture of old ruins. Switching to the tactical mode from Baldur's Gate makes managing forces easier. The character models and environments looked great, with no detail overlooked. Facial features are based on live people, and animations are based on motion captured actors. The demo represented the lowest level of detail the game would ultimately support, making the idea of seeing how this game looks at higher detail levels very exciting. Additionally, Dragon Age will have multiplayer support so that live people can form parties and play through a dynamic storyline that gamers have to come to expect from Bioware. The storyline will even play out differently according to the race and class the player chooses, with different motivations and histories. Bioware has is going to great lengths to make sure that this is a realistic world, with clothes that these character types would really wear, right down to the design of their buttons. A rich and detailed history, spanning thousands of years was written. A Ph.D. in linguistics was brought in to create the various languages for the different species to assure a feel of authenticity.

    I lurk and read a lot here and realize that Dragon Age is not a D&D game. Does that mean SP is now going to start to cover non-D&D related games? If so, is console games in the near future?

    Hey.

    Probably not consoles, but yes, non-D&D games on a case per case basis. I decided to cover Dragon Age because it's being made by BioWare and fits the overall theme of Sorcerer's Place (dragons and all). Not to mention the fact that D&D games are in rather short supply at the moment, and that a bit of variation won't hurt the site. I wanted to post an announcement about the coverage, but decided I'll just tell all about it in the next edition of SP Happenings in a couple of days.
