Front coverFrom the creators of Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate comes a new RPG that's starting to cause people's ears to perk up. Now that BioWare's Dragon Age has landed on the cover of the maiden issue of "Games for Windows: The Official Magazine", people aren't just keeping their ears perked; they're sounding the alarms as well.

Here are some things you'd like to hear about the game:
  • The character archetype you choose will determine the unique course of the first few hours
  • The story takes influences from realistic modern fantasies those of George R. R. Martin's novels
  • It's going to use the tactical real-time combat system of Baldur's Gate, only 3D-style
  • There's going to be massive enemies (gee, I wonder what... dragons, maybe?)
  • The classes and rules took root from classic Dungeons & Dragons games
  • The game will use a modified Mass Effect conversation system
Set for a release date of late next year, we still have a long wait ahead of us. In the mean time, we'll keep you guys covered when more news and info about this potential blockbuster gets revealed.

How about a screenshot to whet your appetites?
