Machinima can be some pretty impressive and well done stuff. However, almost everything that happens in it doesn't pertain to the actual world of the game; it's just a fan's story in most cases. Machinima.com is changing that up as they've worked closely with Bioware to produce "Warden's Fall," a seven minute Dragon Age machinima that picks up where the game left off.

The story follows Kristoff, another Gray Warden that players encounter in the "Awakenings" DLC, and probably doesn't end too happily if it's about his fall. The first episode is right there above and I have to say I'm pretty impressed on the whole. Hopefully this leads to more machinima stories being made as part of a game's canon.

That was pretty cool. Too bad the game isn't that awesome.

This is pretty cool espcially if machinima could help fill in the gaps or handle the stories of character that don't fit into future installments.

Oh, they worked with Bioware? No wonder it's so good. I thought it was an actual fan who made it.

I liked it better than most of the game's cutscenes.

It's "Awakening" singular, and it's a full expansion, not just a DLC pack. :)

I watched this yesterday, and holy shit was it awesome. I almost wish that this was a full mod rather than a mini-series.

That was awesome. I never thought Kristoff was so cold-blooded.

Caught this on their channel the other day and was thoroughly impressed. Look forward to seeing the rest of it.

Pretty sweet. I'm impressed they can do so much with just the canned animations.
