Dragon Age: Origins introduces players to The Great Wardens, protectors of the land that fight off corrupted creatures that come from a disastrous plague known as The Blight. The Blight has infected the land, destroying anything that comes in its way. The Great Wardens play a powerful role in trying to defeat the creatures of The Blight, but of course, since it is a Bioware title, you will not be battling on your own, as you will recruit and interact with several party members to help you reach your goal.
The first section of gameplay that Mark has us look at is the personal interaction between characters after we have set up camp. During Dragon Age: Origins, you can set up a campsite at any time, allowing you to rest your characters, learn new spells and fighting techniques, as well as interact with party members, including appeasing or insulting them.
Character interaction is a big part of Dragon Age: Origins, as you must balance the desires of all the distinctly different characters. If you appease one person too much, you might do critical harm to another character relationship. Do enough damage to an NPC party member and they may just up and leave you, denying you the use of their skill set, or worse, having them fight against you.
