And by Dragon Age, I mean the newly announced <b><a href="http://blog.bioware.com/2009/10/14/dragon-age-journeys/" target="blank">Dragon Age Journeys</a></b> browser game.
<br>
<blockquote>We have some big plans for Journeys. The first piece that we are currently building is a 3 chapter, single player, tactical rpg delivered in Flash. Right now we’re hard at work finishing the first chapter, Dragon Age Journeys: The Deep Roads. The game will introduce you to the dwarven city of Orzammar and the Deep Roads surrounding it where the dwarves face a persistent threat from the darkspawn hordes.
<br>
<br>
BioWare has been incredibly supportive in providing us with materials to work with in the creation of The Deep Roads. They have given us pages upon pages of reference materials, story documents, concept art and screenshots. We get invaluable feedback and insight on the game from members of the Dragon Age team, including Drs. Ray and Greg. The Deep Roads features character classes, talent trees, sound effects, music and user interface taken directly from Dragon Age: Origins. Thanks to all these resources and input from the BioWare team, it will serve as a solid introduction to the world of Dragon Age.</blockquote>
<br>
To give you an idea of where to set your expectations, some of the people working on this had a hand in <a href="http://www.kongregate.com/games/garin/monsters-den-book-of-dread" target="blank">Monster's Den</a> and <a href="http://www.kongregate.com/games/DiffusionGames/mytheria" target="blank">Mytheria</a>.

Hopefully the shame of another studio making a better combat system with the same IP will improve Bioware's next game.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I knew this wasn't true as soon as I read the topic name.
Then got curious and checked out what kind of joke this was.

At least It looks like it will be fun and original...


For a browser game I mean.

I went and tried the flash games linked in the newspost.

And I must say they are pretty good.

Mytheria is this card-based game, and Monster's Den is basically a nethack clone, but with icons, turn-based battle.

LOL. It would be funny if the flash-game has better combat and gameplay than the actual release.
