Dragon Age Combat and Dialogue Preview
GameSpot has a new preview of Dragon Age: Origins, which they call the “spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate“, showing off dialogue, combat, and a new character.
We also had a chance to watch a few different battles in action. Battles will be action-packed and seem reminiscent of the melees of BioWare’s Knights of the Old Republic–small-scale, heated skirmishes between your party members and small squadrons of enemies. Like in Knights of the Old Republic (and BioWare’s previous fantasy RPGs), you’ll be able to pause the game at any time to give orders to your foes. Each character will have various skills and abilities that can, in the PC version of the game, be assigned to various hotkeys that also appear along the bottom of the screen, as with many massively multiplayer games such as World of Warcraft.
It’s been a while since a good computer roleplaying game has come out – especially one from BioWare made expressly for the PC.
