Earlier this year, BioWare offered up a tour of the company's studio as an auction item for the Kids with Cancer Society's Beaded Journey Gala. The "BioWare Experience" was sold off for $15,500, and as a result, a few of the program's children were able to learn a bit about videogame creation, play some Star Wars: The Old Republic, and even design a texture for a Dragon Age character.

The pièce de résistance was the opportunity to act out a scene with a few Dragon Age characters. The video above is the result of the kids' work, and it is both friggin' cute and hilarious. Hearing a big burly dude speak with a little girl's voice is always good for a laugh. I'm also impressed by how well they delivered their lines. They could put a few actual voice actors to shame.

Good job, BioWare! You made some brave and deserving kids incredibly happy.

I thought that said "bearded journey" at first.

But seriously, good for BioWare.

"Or a magic... nug(?)."

That scene was probably better than the entirety of Dragon Age 2.

They probably felt guilty after they developed it playing DA2.

I need to know the ending! Did they actually find the cheese? Did they manage to return it? Who was it that sent out the warrant for the cheese? I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS!

Only fair since DA2 probably caused most of the cancer.

I would play the game if it was VA by those kids. Maybe BioWare could sell it as DLC and give the profits to the cause?


@Alinos

Yeah better lock those kids up in a dark cellar so they don't have to see/experience what they will be missing, amirite?

Jerk.
