BioWare recently announced Dragon Age: Origins and it looks pretty dark and interesting. Take a look. "The spirit of classic RPGs comes of age in BioWare’s work of dark fantasy Dragon Age: Origins. Witness the full trailer featuring the forces of King Cailan in a desperate final stand against the savage darkspawn at the ruins of Ostagar." History The Blight The Chantry teaches that it is the hubris of men that brought the darkspawn into our world. Mages sought to usurp Heaven, but were cast out, twisted by their own corruption, only to return as monsters--the darkspawn. They plague the underground caverns and tunnels once inhabited by the dwarven kingdoms. When they awaken one of the Old Gods, ancient dragons slumbering in the depths of the earth, it rises as an archdemon to lead the darkspawn in a full-scale invasion of the human lands: a Blight. It has been four centuries since the last Blight, but the darkspawn are amassing once again. Grey Wardens They are the most elite and feared of warriors, dedicated to the destruction of darkspawn in all human lands. The centuries of peace have left them all but forgotten. The Grey Wardens have kept watch through the ages, well aware that peace is fleeting, and that their enemy will never truly be defeated until the last of the old gods awaken. more to come... Creatures Ogres Towering over their tainted kin, the massive ogres are a rare sight on the battlefield. It’s said they charge their enemies like bulls, slamming into them with devastating effect — and are even able to barrel through thick stone walls. more to come... Characters Teyrn Loghain Born into a time when his country was under the boot of a foreign tyrant, Loghain and his close friend Prince Maric drove out the invading forces of the Orlesian Empire. He is more a symbol than a man, representing the Fereldan ideals of hard work and independence. Now with his friend’s death, he is left to defend their land with a naïve and inexperienced king. King Cailan Son of the legendary King Maric Theirin, Cailan was the first Ferelden king born into a land free from foreign rule in two generations. Now with Loghain’s tactical genius, Cailan leads Ferelden’s army into the final, glorious battle to crush the darkspawn. more to come... Go here for the trailer and other news/info about the game.

Looks like a great game. The trailer was cool, I love the way the enemies are designed. Epic Party-Based Combat – Dragon Age: Origins introduces an innovative, scalable combat system, as players face large-scale battles and use their party's special abilities to destroy hoardes of enemies and massive creatures. Does that mean parties with like... your friends... online? Cause that would be way too awesome. |

From what I understand, Dragon Age: Origins is currently singleplayer only. |

I've always kinda hoped for a good platform MMORPG... I suppose this wouldn't necessarily be a MMO, but it would be a great RPG to play with friends. Heres to hoping |

Bioware is developing Dragon Age as the successor to the Baldur's Gate series, which did have multiplayer. So I would expect this to follow the same route, just have to wait and see. |
