The browser game is great, actually. I wasn’t expecting several hours of RPG type gaming out of it, but you can control a party, level up, pick talents, get gear, explore dungeons, do quests.

If they do decide to charge micropayments for future chapters, I’d happily pay for it (well, depending on how much )

But this does make me think that one of the neat things about single player games is that they can happily live on the shelf until you have time to play them. It’s not like an MMO where if you miss the first wave of players, it can get really difficult to find groups for some content later.

“Dragon Age Journeys is a Flash-based browser game set in the Dragon Age world. Players explore the underground Dwarven realm of Orzammar. During their adventures, players of this light-weight web game can earn three items that will transfer to the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.”

I won’t be playing this until I find it in some bargain bin in 2 years, not because it doesn’t look like a great game but simply because I’m snowed under with games.

Have fun to those who are going to try it and I like the idea of browser-based freebies!

I just hope the postal strikes get sorted soon so these clowns don’t stop me from getting this on time. I am currently looking at either a true Elf mage or scout… undecided at the moment though.

There’s definitely at least one gay male romance option (bet it’s the elf ) because the reviewer mentions that he had different options with how to respond when the guy came on to him (ie. disgust, encouragement, etc).

Bioware has been really good about including gay storyline options in their games, and not just for the female leads. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it with male characters as well. I have faith that they won’t make it a cheesy set up either.

I’m torn between wanting to experience all of the origin stories, and simply wanting to crack on with the game.

Knowing me, I’ll probably end up playing the ‘vanilla’ human noble story first time around, and if I can muster a replay somewhere down the line, I’ll try something a little more exotic.

I haven’t played a single player game on PC since Diablo 2. I might have to check out the journeys thing to see if it is my thing. So many people raving about DA and Borderlands. I’m feeling the peer pressure
