Nice.

I've never liked that pen and paper type stuff; video game only for me, and I'm looking forward to it.

Awesome!  This game is going to kick ass.

I could see doing some P&P stuff with my brother, and his troop of role-playing friends, but he's more into running campaigns in his own campaign setting.

As for the game going sans-DRM, that's always a move I like to see, but I also hope it doesn't bite them in the ass. I'm actually surprised EA is letting them cut the DRM in the first place. As skeptical as I am about Dragon Age actually being good, I'm pretty sure it'll be one of those increasingly rare day 1 purchases for me.

THACO hasn't been used in like 2 editions.. still love ya though XD

Pen and paper. Say no more.

But will the pen and paper version have DRM?  Perhaps the video game's lack of DRM is just a clever feint.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at the Pen and Paper game but in all likely hood I'll read through all the rules and crap and NOT find a group here. Ever.
That's pretty much what happened when I looked into playing D&D. Read the rules. And then... Nothing. No biggy.
Can't wait for Dragon Age though.

Green Ronin, huh...alright. I guess if you can't do TSR or White-Wolf, Ronin's the way to go. Makes me long for the days when my friends and I actually had time to play tabletop games.

Very little DRM = Good.
P&P = Kind of dumb.

When Dragon Age: Origins was first unveiled to the public I knew I would buy it, and now that I know it won't have any retarded DRM it makes me want to buy it even more. Two copies please!!!

Oh...uh... and the pen & paper really isn't my thing. I think I'll stick with the video game.

ehhhhh i'll take the video game, thanks. xD

Dragon age should have miltiplayer, i am very disapointed about this.

Dragon Age will be off the rope.

Just the game, last time i played a table top RPG i felt... dirty after wards.

Like Brad I'm more interested in Mass Effect 2, but I bet this will be a great game as well. They sure have been working on it for long. I think it was announced around the same time as Jade Empire on the XBOX, maybe even before that.

Pen and paper, huh?  Makes me even more curious about their system, now.  Assuming it's really, actually different than DnD and not some sort of port.

I would certainly like to give the pen and paper version a try, don't know how many of my friend's would want a go with me. Isn't the whole pen and paper thing online yet?

I'm absolutely going to buy the Pen and Paper Dragon Age book. I'm not sure I'll actually play it, but no doubt it will open up the setting and world of Dragon Age (Thedas). NPC's, locations, histories, and it may shed some light on the bestiary of the setting as well. 

And the no-DRM thing? Well, I was a planning to be a first day purchaser for this game long ago, so it doesn't really matter to me. It will be nice to not have SecuRom or an online authentication process though. I'll probably buy two honestly...one for me on PC, and one for my wife on 360 (or PS3).

I save against your poison, Zombie-dog!

Disc checks? Personally I'd rather take what Mass Effect (non Steam version) has now than a disc check. Anyway, since Mass Effect/Electronic Arts is on Steam, I'm guessing DA will also be released there and I'll just pick up that version.

Sounds great! I love D&D!

 So there's going to be a tabletop game based on a video game that's a quasi-sequel of another game based on a tabletop game.

... What?

Real Roleplaying gets done with Real Dice

YOU CAN NOT FORCE ME TO USE MY IMAGINATION!

The table top would have to be really good to get me to turn away from the game.

pen and what?
