    [​IMG]The Game Reviews posted these two items recently, with the video interview involving lead designer Mike Laidlaw and the preview taking the form of a a fairly detailed three page article, complete with in-game footage (which was already posted by Azereki here). Here's part of the preview:

    Until this point Dragon Age looked about as generic a fantasy RPG as you could imagine, but here the hero’s party members did something they rarely do in games of this ilk – they disagreed. Sten (giant plate-mail clad warrior) and Morrigan (every bit the sexual temptress you might guess from her name) both piped up, more or less asking why the hell they should waste their time saving such a crappy town. These are questions I frequently ask aloud as a player, so it’s nice to have someone in the game echo my sentiment. The demo’s boisterous presenter – Dragon Age Lead Designer Mike Laidlaw – explained that party members will interject if they disagree with something you do, and may either leave the party or outright try to shank you if they disagree strongly enough with your actions. Managing a party of temperamental and self-interested characters could be very interesting, but we were also told that you’d be able to interrupt people’s dialogue in Mass Effect, so here’s hoping these features make it into the final game.

    The rest of the preview can be found at The Game Reviews here and the video interview with Mike Laidlaw can be found here.
