well... I searched around here and could not find a thread on Dragon Age, and as I had been reading about it earlier today, I decided to make my own...
if there is already a thread on this... well... too bad... now there's two...
Title:
Dragon Age
Developer:
Bioware
Platform:
PC
Genre:
RPG
Dragon Age has been described as an "epic fantasy", and will utilze the Bioware Eclipse Engine. Set in the kingdom of Ferelden, it promises a deep level of storyline (and I would expect nothing less from Bioware), along with all the usual bells and whistles they always provide in the form of romance, influence, and a more fully customizable character, including a slew of races and classes.
As in previous Bioware RPG titles, moral choices will once again have a profound impact on storyline, as well as on your companions. The influence system is improved over that of the KotOR titles in that should a companion dislike your methods or attitude they may with hold their support entirely, something which would have greatly added to the realism of the aforementioned games.
The look of the game is very similar to their other titles, as well as the camera in regular gameplay, however in combat it will switch to a view above the character to see the full battle (as seen in one of the screenshots I provided because I'm great). Combat itself will be more realistic as it will not rely merely on "politely waiting your turn-based combat", but will also be effected by number of and proximity to enemies rather than simply rolls of the unholy unseen dice with no change in the effect if you swing your sword 2 inches away or 10 feet away from your opponent... man, I used to hate that...
I believe the release date is set for some time late this year.
here's some screenies for your viewing pleasure...

+rep for the thread. Looks similar to the Baldurs Gate series in ways...
