Look at this, a lovely new section of the forums, and no posts.
For those who are wondering, all information can be found here: http://www.bioware.c...mes/dragon_age/

And the front rank died
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.

Yep, DA is going to be a good game, now that BioWare owns all the material used in the game they don't have to rush it through. Wondering if it will get its own modster tool and moddarz...

Hell, even I'm looking forward to that one. If it becomes truely moddable I'll likely give up IE editing for it. (It looks SWEET!)

Me too..... but looking at the screenshots I see that Bioware still haven't addressed the old hokey - what woman is stupid enough enough to combat half-dressed and unarmoured? And I also winced slightly at that barbarian - jeans, chaps and a cod-piece. Sorry guys - but no. Start thinking 'weather' and cover them up; they did get the portraits right in IWD 1/2.

Id heard it will have a toolkit for modding so fingers crossed it does and its not shite, if it does you can expect to see Dragon Age modding open to the public here ;)

Well we probably shouldnt hype it up, it tends to ruin games. When was the game announced by the way?

It's not certain, but don't expect before 2006 (or at least Bioware says so... :P lazy slaves... :D )

Well, as I said in my post, BioTeam prob. don't rush it since Bioware owns all the material used in the game... so, it could be so that this game comes out looking good and being it too. But that's just a theory.

Because maybe that woman wants to be flexible in combat? Why take the blow and ruin that armor when you can jump out of the way?

That Barbarian??? Maybe its an "aesthetic" choice.

I'm sorry, what problem exactly do you all have with scantily glad lady adventurers ;)?

Oh, and hype didn't ruin Half-Life 2. I'm looking forward to Dragon Age; I hope it's as good as it can be.

On the other hand, something worries me : too much hype for this game. I remember what happened with Black&White and Neverwinter Nights.
