EA, the all-knowing, all-seeing new masters of RPG Gods, BioWare, have sent through some information regarding the six origin Stories players will be able to choose from in the upcoming Dragon Age: Origins.

• Dalish Elf: As one of the last "true elves", you were content to spend your life wandering with your clan... until a chance encounter with a relic of your people's past threatens to tear you away from everything you've known.
• City Elf: You have always lived under the heavy thumb of your human overlords, but when a local lord claiming his "privilege" with the bride shatters your wedding day, the simmering racial tensions explode in a rain of vengeance.
• Dwarf Commoner: Born casteless in a land where rank is everything, bound as the lackey and thug of a local crime lord, you have spent your life invisible... until chance thrusts you into the spotlight, where you can finally prove whether you will be defined by your actions or your birth.
• Dwarf Noble: The favored child of the dwarven king, you proudly take up your first military command... only to learn that the deadly intrigues of dwarven politics pose an even greater danger than that faced on the battlefield.
• Mage: Gifted with a power considered a dangerous curse by most, you have spent most of your life secluded in the remote tower of the Circle of Magi to be trained and watched closely by the dreaded templars. Now your final test is upon you - succeed and prove your strength, fail and you will perish.
• Human Noble: Born to wealth and power second only to royalty, you find your training in both diplomacy and war put to the test when your father's castle is betrayed from within on the very night your elder brother is to lead the family's forces to war.

According to the release, your choice of origin Story will have profound effects on the entire game allowing for multiple play throughs with varying experiences and outcomes.

Dragon Age: Origins is due for release on PC in the last half of 2009. You can view more info and all available media from our game page.

neverwinternights2 wasn't bioware

Wasn't it Obsidian Entertainment? Anyway nwn was far superior in comparison.. Bioware and fans knew better graphics are no substitute for a good story based rpg. Thousands of dnd nuts still play nwn so props to bioware for that.
