    ActionTrip have posted a preview of Dragon Age, BioWare's newest hit, called "the spiritual successor to all of our recent games" by Greg Zeschuk, BioWare's Joint CEO, and set in a setting which is totally property of BioWare not restricted by any licenses or outside copyrights. The preview covers the universe of Dragon Age, the combat system and engine mechanics. Here's an excerpt:

    As I said, the main focus in Dragon Age is on the creation of a rich and layered fantasy world that is conjured up entirely by the Canadian developers. From what we know so far, we're still talking about a medieval fantasy setting, but with an oriental twist. The usual fantasy races like the orcs, dwarves and elves will not be present in their original form, though certain variations of those will be included in the game. BioWare says that they're reluctant to make a break from some of the more conventional concepts of Tolkien-inspired lore as they're afraid such a move might alienate many of their devoted fans.

    Whatever their influences might be in the creation of the Dragon Age universe, however, you can be sure that BioWare isn't taking this task lightly. In fact, they've hired linguistics PhD students to develop specific languages and dialects for the game. What this means of course, is that we'll get a single-player universe with a rich background and plenty of emphasis on the narrative, which has really become the trademark of all of BioWare's games.
