Evil Avatar Preview: Dragon Age: Origins

Evil Avatar writes: "This morning I sat in on the GenCon demonstration of Bioware's new RPG, Dragon Age Origins, and interviewed Community Manager Chris Priestly and Lead Writer David Gaider. The demonstration was led by Chris, who opened with with an explanation as to why Origins was added as a subtitle. Feeling the Dragon Age is bringing Bioware back to its roots of Baldur's Gate, and the importance they placed on the Origin system used in character creation, Bioware chose to add the subtitle.

With the explanation done, we entered the meat of the demonstration. It began with your character traveling with a highly respected member of the Grey Wardens, Duncan, to meet the king. Your character is a new recruit to the Grey Wardens, and will be going through your initiation the night before what hopes to be the final battle against the Blight. The Blight is the generic term in the game for the armies of monsters that are led by an Arch-Demon."

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion498d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad499d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90499d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183498d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde498d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90498d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde498d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator498d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13498d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
