Dragon Age - News Roundup

A handful of items for Dragon Age, today, so I'll collect them here.

First, I think we've neglected to mention Dragon Age: Journeys before.  This Flash game uses characters and monsters from the full game and looks like it will be a bit of fun when it is released in "October".  Check out the official page here and read a blog entry at the Bioblog.

Four more music clips have been added at the official site:

• Human Nobility
• Ferelden at War
• Ruins of Ostagar
• I am the One

(No direct link because of the Flash)

GamerZines has Part 2 of their interview with Mike Laidlaw:

GZ: Do you think there is ever a risk when releasing a toolset, that you strip away some of the magic of the game? Because people can see how you have done things and de-construct the story?

ML: I don't think so, I think that the users who are going to dig in and see how things work would probably do that anyway, no matter what we did. It becomes like a meta-game where they take our game apart to see what makes it tick and that's fully accessible, which is something we should be encouraging. We don't want to think of gaming as an elite thing that nobody understands. We want to throw open the doors and let people see how we did it. Now for everyone else there's a chance they might get some spoilers out of it but I think you'll probably have to go looking for them. For the average gamer who is just interested in playing the game they'll get infinitely more benefit out of a community who'll understand the mechanics and will do additional content for them. They see way more benefit than they do loss.

Over at Games.on.net you'll find a video interview with Dr Greg Zeschuk and there's a new GameStop Behind the Scenes video.
