A Good Story
Monday, Jul 14 2008

Over the years I have played in several table top campaigns with, and run by, Lead Writer David Gaider. It comes as no surprise that he can tell a damn captivating tale in a variety of mediums. He knows what makes a good story and knows what makes believable characters I care about…or despise with an irrational icy rage. The ridiculous amount of work that goes into telling a good story for a gaming campaign is a known and cherished labor of love for GMs around the world. In the bizarro world of making video games the work is long, detailed and extensive…but entirely necessary to make a great game. The majority of people who work on Dragon Age have played in table top campaigns (some for decades) and have brought that old-school gaming experience to their work. Dragon Age is a return to that hard work and graph paper feel using all this whiz-bang new technology we have now. I marvel at the amount of work that goes into not just the story but the world of Dragon Age that will never get seen for people who pick the game up. It would fill a tome worthy of an intricately carved leather cover and a giant brass lock. The important part is that the weight of all that history will be felt in Dragon Age. It is a world created by an army of talented people like David Gaider. People who know how to tell a story. Any GMs out there with an epic tale of hardship and woe when they sat down to create a campaign for their players?

Без D&D не олдскульность получится, а очередная аркада типа Ведьмака или Обливиона
