Arguably the best developer in the business, BioWare, has given us our first peak at their next major project: the heavily-hinted Dragon Age 2, set to be released in Q1 of next year, the same period that the studio released Mass Effect 2 this year. That's not the only thing Dragon Age will be borrowing from its sci-fi sister franchise; the story of the game is ditching the web of origin tales featured in the original Dragon Age: Origins, instead shooting for a more "cinematic" story following a single hero--a human with the last name Hawke (first name, gender, and appearance to be chosen by player).The game's story will take place over the course of a decade and feature "dynamic new combat mechanics" and an updated new graphics style. Basically that means the engine has gotten a much-needed graphical overhaul and a more action-oriented combat system. Coupled with a more focused story and wrapped around an already-established lore, Dragon Age 2 means BioWare's looking like it'll have another top tier original franchise under its wing.
