After several false starts, the newest DLC for Bioware’s Dragon Age has finally been released on XBox 360 and PC with no word on PS3 yet. Thanks to some poor planning on Bioware’s behalf, the content dropped on January 29th, a mere 3 days after Mass Effect 2. Thanks to these overlapping releases, I’m willing to bet that I wasn’t the only Dragon Age fan that was blissfully unaware of the new content.

Let’s face facts. Despite the rising number of female gamers, the majority of gamers are male, and the industry is not ashamed to use ample, barely concealed mammary glands to appeal to that demographic. Today’s rumble pits two femme fatales from the industry against each other. They both share the same name, wrangle dark forces with their feminine wiles, and follow the least oppressive dress codes imaginable.

A crack team of flash author greats has been assembled for the project staff, including Daniel Stradwick, Adam Phillips, and Andrew Sega. The Deep Roads is part one of the three part saga that has just been released, and even includes unlockable equipment for Origins upon completion of certain achievements and tasks.

Day 1 of Gen Con saw the opening ceremonies with Tracy Hickman and Peter Adkison plugging the XTreme GM Handbook, holding a moment of silence for our departed comrades, and tossing the first die roll of the convention. We walked the floor a bit and managed to take a few pictures of some of the displays, but this personally being my first time here, I was a bit overwhelmed and took far less shots than I intended. At least there are 3 more days to make up for it. Anyway, without further ado, the first shots of Gen Con, after the bump. Continue Reading…
