BioWare (creator's of Baldur's Gate, KOTOR, Mass Effect) will be revealing hands-on demo's of Dragon Age: Origins at several conventions this summer. I wrote a summary of the game in a previous post and will just paste it here to remind you.
On a side note, another soon-to-be-released (Q3/Q4 2009) game from BioWare is Dragon Age: Origins. It is described as a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series, but not set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Though Dragon Age: Origins is a single-player game, it will include a toolset that will allow for user-created content.
People who assume that Dragon Age: Origins will just be Mass Effect with a medieval setting will be sorely mistaken. What race and class you pick will determine which 1 of 6 paths you take from beginning till end and also what options and quests will be available within the game. Dragon Age: Origins is scheduled for a Q3/Q4 2009 release.
It sounds very good. I personally can not wait to playtest it. The Conventions that BioWare is showing the game at is:
July 22-26, San Diego Comic-Con (San Diego, California)
Aug 13-16, Gen-Con (Indianapolis, Indiana)
Aug 19-23, GamesCon (Cologne, Germany)
Aug 28-30, Fan Expo Canada(Toronto, Canada)
Sept 4-6, Penny Arcade Expo Seattle (Seattle, Washington)
So we basically have 2 ways to catch it. Another thing I want to point out is I know at Gen-Con there are "some" video game demonstrations, booths, etc, but it's mostly for board games. Seeing that BioWare intends to show-off Dragon Age: Origins at Gen-Con means that we can "mix-up" our Gen-Con days a little bit.
