Dragon Age: Origins delayed until November photo

If you're looking forward to Dragon Age: Origins, then we have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that BioWare's latest RPG spectacular has been delayed. The good news is that it's not being pushed back to 2010 like 90% of the other games we've seen postponed lately.

Dragon Age was originally slated for October 20, but the Xbox 360 and the PC versions of the game will now release on November 3 in North America and November 6 in Europe. The PS3 version does not yet have a release date, but BioWare has stated that it will follow later that month. 

Compared to the other delays we've seen, this isn't so bad. On a related note, I'll be in Edmonton to view the game this coming week. If there are any questions you'd like to ask BioWare about Dragon Age, I'll try and ask them, provided you don't ask stupid rubbish.

Are they afraid of Way of the Samurai 3 (hitting October 13th on PS3 and Xbox360)? Is that why they're moving out of October?

You don't have to ask them that, though. I already know it to be true.

I'd be much obliged if you got Bioware to open up about what differences will be present between the PC and console versions. Will all of the tactical options (tweaking aggression, use of healing items/spells, support vs. combat roles) for AI that were talked about for the PC release be in the console versions?

Could you ask them if they could delay it another 2 months so we could have time to play the more interesting games coming out in October and November first?

Jim, ask them if mods will ever come out for the ps3 version or if any future ps3 bioware games will get mods. don't let them bambuzzle you, these are yes or no questions. i don't want to hear the "we're looking into it" bullshit. just a yes or just a no. i'm fuckin tired of all this industry no real answers bullshit.

Is that caption a play on Oblivion's NPC conversations? I must be satisfied with confirmation! >:{ O

Jim, if you could, ask them about why they have girl on girl action in their games, but not male on male? If you're going to have lesbians then you should also have gay guys.

Thank you.

Ask them if there will be as many sidequests as in Baldur's Gate 2. If that's actually their main inspiration, I hope they realised that what made BG2 so good was that the staggering number of quests developped the world and attached us to the characters.

Oh, thank Odin. I was worried I'd have to make this and Borderlands fight to the death over which I played through first.

Please do ask them what they were thinking with that heavy metal trailer and if they've fired the people responsible for that abomination yet.

Ask them about the decision to add so many in game bonuses for those who peorder or buy from Gamestop, let alone bonuses for Mass Effect 2. It all seems a little sleazy to me. I have to expect EA is behind it all.

In Mass Effect, it wasn't really girl on girl since the asari are asexual. It was more like girl on transexual.

What with Alpha Protocol and Borderlands coming out so close to then, this is actually a good thing.

This is kinda annoying, seeing as the PC version's been done since last Spring, but whatevs. Not all that amped for Dragon Age anyway, not after a Marylin Manson trailer. I still haven't seen any game footage of this since its first bout of media back when it was still coming out last spring, and that looked like WoW with a party. Pretty meh.

Ask them if they are going to give david gaider a motherfucking raise.

Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne is an excellent book and if the game's story is as good we are in for one hell of a good game.
