Preview Dragon Age Creature Update: The High Dragon

[Edward_R_Murrow]

No, it's not Puff the Magic Dragon, it's <a href="http://dragonage.bioware.com/creature_high_dragon.html">this thing</a>. Though I wouldn't click on that link, seeing as Bioware has one-upped their previous Dragon Age website in terms of clunkiness.<blockquote>They say that dragons once ruled the skies of Thedas. The greatest of these were the Old Gods, beings thought to have tricked mankind into turning away from the Maker, and who were imprisoned beneath the earth for their deceit. Their children were the winged beasts worshipped by the magisters of the Tevinter Imperium; images of dragons adorned every statue across the land. In more recent ages, Nevarran dragon hunters supposedly brought the species to extinction, harvesting them for their bones, which absorb enchantment like no known metal. But at the end of the Blessed Age, a high dragon emerged in the Frostbacks and began a rampage through the highlands. The next Age was named in her honor. Because a high dragon only begins a rampage when she is ready to lay a new clutch of eggs, that sighting will certainly not be the last.</blockquote>How incredibly generic sounding. At least we now why it's called Dragon Age now...

Uhnn what if we change the "dragon" for lets say the "Cat":

They say that cats once ruled the floors of Thedas. The greatest of these were the Old Gods, beings thought to have tricked mankind into turning away from the Maker, and who were imprisoned beneath the earth for their deceit. Their children were the mini cats worshipped by the magisters of the Tevinter Imperium; images of cats adorned every statue across the land. In more recent ages, Nevarran cats hunters supposedly brought the species to extinction, harvesting them for their bones, which absorb enchantment like no known metal. But at the end of the Blessed Age, a high cat emerged in the Frostbacks and began a rampage through the highlands. The next Age was named in her honor. Because a high cat only begins a rampage when she is ready to lay a new clutch of eggs, that sighting will certainly not be the last.

Then we can get:

CAT AGE ®


(sex and violence included).

Yep i agree, kinda generic.

Their website is just awful.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I fucking hate flash sites. Why can't it be just pictures and text? No, we need annoying sounds, loading times and jittery animated shit because kids like that. (Well, actually, I'm pretty sure kids don't like that, but there has to be some reasoning for this stuff.)

That Morrigan character looks weird, just look at her legs and arms. A stick figure.

Well done good sir! :monocle:

It looked like BioWare raided a mannequin factory and threw them in a room and told some guy to draw and animate 'that shit'. If you're just going to do one cutscene preview after another, atleast make it look good and not like every figure has latency issues and looks fake as hell.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

but there has to be some reasoning for this stuff.

 

[Volourn]

Dragons Rule All!

 

[Jim Cojones]

Dragons Rule All!

UR rong. Tunnel Snakes rule!

 

[Saxon1974]

So apparently they believe that Lots of Blood = Gritty Mature

I don't think I have ever seen more over-use of blood before.

Sorry but this game looks more terrible the more I see of it.

There is a posibility that the dragons smoke something illegal, thats why they are "high" dragons :D

Those dragons are fags. And, not the good kind. The boring, bland, and unoriginal kinda.

i'm waiting for you to troll the dark sun thread and get ripped apart

 

[Lesifoere]

Looks like Bioware copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from the closest Dragonlance sourcebook.

Fuck no.Weis and Hickman make even dragons of the treasure-hoarding damsel-distressing sort more interesting than that...blurb did.


All I got out of that is that Moody Dragon Bitches lay waste to kingdoms.

Yeah, and the Dragon Age dragons are a lot better or what?
Stop being an incredibly retarded fanboy, Volly.

It's like asking the sun to stop shining.

 

[M_I_C_K_E_Y_M_O_U_S_E]

Anti-fanboys are more annoying than fan boys. Especially the kind that rage over hype campaigns.

inb4 its too early to judge!!!1

 

[Micmu]

High dragons, eh?
Imagine how much weed would a dragon have to smoke to get high.

 

[MetalCraze]

But you see that does mean that Dragon Age has mature themes.

Fanboys and anti-fanboys aside, you really are the most banal and vapid person on this forum.

We can do better than cats!:

They say that multi-headed dicks once ruled the floors of Thedas. The greatest of these were the Old Golds, beings thought to have tricked mankind into turning away from the Maker, and who were imprisoned beneath the earth for their deceit. Their children were the winged dicks worshipped by the magisters of the Tevinter Imperium; images of multi-headed dicks adorned every statue across the land. In more recent ages, Nevarran multi-headed dick hunters supposedly brought the species to extinction, harvesting them for their bones, which absorb enchantment like no known metal. But at the end of the Blessed Age, a high multi-headed dick emerged in the Frostbacks and began a rampage through the highlands. The next Age was named in its honor. Because a high multi-headed dick only begins a rampage when it is ready to lay a new clutch of eggs, that sighting will certainly not be the last.
