SAN FRANCISCO — Alright, stop me if you’ve heard this one: A rogue, a sorceress, a warrior and an archer walk into a village where an insidious menace threatens the hapless populace.
Yes, we’ve seen this scenario in one form or another countless times, but Dragon Age: Origins is different. This upcoming PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 game is from BioWare, the creator of Mass Effect. That means we can expect an exceptional, story-driven role-playing game experience.
Last week at Game Developers Conference, in a dimly-lit conference room at a San Francisco hotel, I got a chance to see just how Dragon Age is progressing. Its developers showed me a new quest and shared more details on the party and spell-casting system.
