Dragon Age: Origins is less than two weeks away, but you can step into the world created for the game now, thanks to a free, browser-based game.
Dragon Age Journeys is set in the dwarven kingdom of Orzammar. Players can customize a character by selecting gender, race (human, elf, dwarf), class (warrior, rogue, mage) and an origin story.
Presented from a top-down perspective, movement through the underground caverns is mouse-controlled. Combat is turn-based, and is also controlled by mouse clicks. It’s a simple interface, and because the game is Flash-based, it is operating system and browser agnostic.
Journeys is a full-featured RPG with ability progression and loot to be discovered. Playing and succeeding at Journeys will benefit your playing of Origins when it releases. For example, earning all five achievements will unlock the Helm of the Deep when you finally play Dragon Age: Origins, coming November 3 from Edmonton’s BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts, .
It’s just further evidence that with Origins, BioWare is bringing us not just a game, but a complete world. And with other content like Journeys, crossover comics and novels, and downloadable content, not to mention the sequels that are already rumoured, this is a world we’ll be adventuring in for some time to come.
