Meet Leliana, a “deadly lass” in
Dragon Age: Origins. Once a bard -- a position that doubles as an assassin or spy in the game’s fiction -- Leliana has tried to redeem her violent soul by living a peaceful life appeasing the Maker in the Chantry. Her past doesn’t stay in the past once players jump into the game. The Maker -- a wonderful chap, apparently -- tells her to take up her old profession(s) again and return to killing and decapitating dragons (or whatever bards do).
The above video tells a bit of this story and shows Leliana doing her thing -- hacking monsters, getting blood all over Chantry clothing, and having sex.
Origins is still set to release on the PC and Xbox 360 on November 3rd. The PS3 version will follow in later November.

Good god can they stop with that, it just makes it look like its going "hey hey look at me i got tits"
I was thinking of getting this but they are now on the side of brogamer" o my god dude you see that they are like having sex and shit"
o well thats 60 i am not going to spend.
BOYCOTT BIOWARE NOW!
oddly enough, I agree. this new video player format is terrible. embed these in the actual story. I assume its some advertising banner technology.
Not just the character models,EVERYTHING in this game looks like shit :(
the game doesn't look that bad and it will make up for it with lots of content I bet.
Leliana says: "Hey! Let's kill some jerky bad guys, then stand around in the lobby of some building, all splattered in blood, having a conversation about nothing. Then I'll fcuk one of you in a cave!"
This poorly edited/produced video has me on the fence, and my balance is faltering towards waiting until this game is in the $30 bin.
Also, this game looks like it's supposed to parody the whole Classic Fantasy genre. All the people look too pretty, everything's just set to shock or annoy people (like the Manson song). I don't know. I loved Mass Effect and the ridiculously good-looking people made sense in the future, but in Fantasy it just makes it look like a really cheap Fantasy movie. No character at all.
Just meh. Even though the people in Oblivion were incredibly ugly, they had character and fit into the world.
almost all the videos they showed are like this. hit up there site.
The sex I could care less about IF it were like an optional thing althrough dialog or whatever but you guys are bashing it pretty hard. What the hell is going on with this video?
I'd appease my maker in her chantry.
[/obligatory]
is her blood or the blood of the world?
either way, standing at attention,
yeah, not clever in hiding my erection.
That line made mu lul for some reason, especially with how calm she was after that little black out.
Well...the characters seem interesting...I think...
Hopefully this isn't representative of how the game will look and sound.
Graphics look only OK. The whole thing is looking cliché in a bad way. The voices sound terrible too, IMO. So sick of fake sounding British accents.
I'd really appreciate a more "explore and let stories unfold - small and large." This is smelling like yet another "stop the Armageddon from Hell from destroying the world"
Bah.
I was interested in this - even after the very first trailer but they're not showing any signs of improvement. The animation is awful, the voice acting is just as bad and in contradiction to their claims that sex should only be used to further the story you seem to be able to screw every bloody woman in the game. Now don't get me wrong these things are to a degree forgiveable (I enjoyed 'The Witcher' despite similar faults for example) but for a game that claims to be original and compelling it just appears to be cliché after cliché.
I can only hope that this is just stupendously bad marketing and that I'm proven wrong at release.
I dunno. I'm still buying it.
I was mildly disappointed when the lead programmer told me there were no mid-game sex changes, but other than that it's really cool.
@Sharpless: This game will not play like Mass Effect. Mass Effect was effectively an action RPG where you clicked the mouse and you would shoot with some special abilities thrown in. This will play much more like Bioware's other game. It may look like fluid action but what is probably going on is the game is progressing in rounds. Each round all the characters execute an action that you or the AI has queued up, in the absence of a queued action they'll just do a basic attack or stand there looking dumb. So this game will be less clicking on the screen more clicking on the UI.
From the look of the video image, she's failed...
