Hello our ever curious Dragon Age friends,
I’d like to say a few words about the images posted in this thread earlier today. Two images were mistakenly released and posted here, one of which showed a slightly different version of Morrigan from our E3 “The Fires Above” trailer, the other was one of many piece of key art we tried before settling on the helmet and sword images you can see on www.dragonage.com.
You may wonder why there were differences in the Morrigan shots? It’s pretty simple really and you may like to hear a little about one aspect of developing a game like Dragon Age. Once we know roughly what we want to show in a trailer or a specific scene in the game, the team here starts by blocking out the fundamentals like spaces, characters, temp voice acting etc. Each aspect is then worked on by individual people and reviewed in a group session where feedback is given.
When we get closer to the deadline these reviews happen every single day and we agonize over all sorts of tiny things as to reach the quality we want to accomplish. Yes, even things like which side her beauty mark should be on

It’s actually really cool to go back to the first version of a scene and compare it to the final result, kind of like looking at your high school graduation photos 10 years on and laughing at how goofy you looked! We removed these images because, whilst cool, we’d put more time into what you finally saw.
Anyway, this is why you saw differences between what was shown at E3 and what we were working on during that process. It’s also quite possible lots of things will continue to improve and change before you get your hands on the final game.
Well that’s it from me, keep calm and game on!
Cameron
