    [​IMG]The NDA's been lifted, so it's time to post our very own spoiler-light preview of Dragon Age: Origins. Beren has made a trip to BioWare to check it out first-hand, so here are a few of his impressions:

    During some phases of the game, you will have to go solo. However, there are a significant number of NPCs who can join, leading to a party-based game. Just like in Baldur's Gate 2, they have their own personalities, fetishes, as well as agendas and your decisions throughout the game will affect how supportive or friendly they are towards you. Some decisions can mean that an NPC will turn on you and try to kill you in a flash. Naturally, they will also have differences with each other. In that respect, Origins is exactly like Baldur's Gate 2, but even better. In Baldur's Gate 2, you had to remain content with the small version of the character portraits, block after block of text, and the occasional voice blurb. In Dragon Age, you get to watch them have it out with each other, facial expressions, jilts in the voice, everything included. In fact, there is one NPC whose less than wholesome allure and razor tongue will definitely remind more than a few fans of a certain Drow temptress...

    You'll find the rest right here.
