There is much expected of this upcoming RPG game by Bioware. This company's last stand alone RPG title was Mass Effect, which played like a third-person shooter RPG hybrid (with the ability to pause the screen, give commands to your squad teammates, and unleash biotic abilities on enemies). Bioware has never released a game set in a medieval fantasy universe - yet. Dragon Age: Origins will be their latest release and the expectations are set high.
Players will be able to choose from three base classes - Rogue, Warrior, or Mage, but you will have an individual 'origin' story that will affect the story of the entire game. Gameplay is in real time, similar to Mass Effect, and you will have the ability to pause and issue tactical commands to your party members, who are all major characters to the storyline. Your decisions in quests matter because a simple moral choice (which is more complicated than the beaten to death 'good and evil') can influence the way NPCs react to you. Certain rewards can only be attained if you make the right choices. And by right, I don't mean morally.
