New Dragon Age Screens Are Soaked In Blood

If you were worried that Dragon Age: Origins isn't going to be earning its M rating, you haven't seen these screenshots yet.

Click through each image to see the screens in full, but be warned - they aren't exactly for the squeamish.

Looks good to me!
I can't wait for this game! Already got my pre-order down! Booyah!

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Thanks for reminding me that I need to put one down myself Mr. Tea, now... 360 or PS3... my CPU is not up to snuff.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't find those screenshots particularly bloody, gore-soaked or anything like that. There's some blood spatter but that's about it. Don't get me wrong, they look great, but it's not particularly violent...

Anyone would think that there hadn't ever been a bloody RPG before.

Sure the graphics look all shiny an that, but I'm itching for some more gameplay videos.

 

[FolcoTook]

I dunno, maybe I've been playing too much Fallout 3, but I'd have to agree that these screen shots don't show anything really gory or 'over-the-top' violent to me.

 

[The Shade]

Lookin' good! Can't wait.

This is the one thing that would have tempted me to go to Fan Expo in Toronto this year: get the early demonstration. But I don't think I'll be able to make it this time.

 

[deathyepl]

Yeah, the screenshots aren't looking particularly bloody to me either.

 

[Draithx]

The screens look good, but they don't really look that bloody.

 

[Sevre]

Brilliant graphics though.

My thoughts exactly. But the (fairly) realistic dynamic blood splatter on the characters will definitely piss the soccer moms off. So... Go Bioware!

 

[Keane Ng]

Bah, you guys are all horribly desensitized. Look at all that splatter! That's way more than you ever see in Fallout 3. I mean, all the slow-mo head explosions were pretty gory, but the gore never approached the level of detailed blood splatter in these screens.

Yeah its certainly no where near as gory as God of War 3.

The game seems to have just enough blood to add a more rugged sense of violence without reaching the realm of pointless and unreal. I'm happy.

 

[Ancientgamer]

Okay what?

That's no more bloody than oblivion's blood sprays. It's one thing to think it's not really worth mention, but that was so tame I begin to think the article was ment as sarcasm.

 

[Razorback0z]

No blood in your hair ??? This was the only reason I wanted to play this game... oh well saved me $80

 

[Spleenbag]

Finally, the best Western RPG company is doing a fantasy epic. This has been my wet dream for years, ever since I got my hands on KOTOR. Can't wait for this game!

I already knew it was going to have enough blood to drown your in-game avatar: I could tell that much from the trailers.

The REAL question is: will it have enough sex in it to warrant another media scandal? The trailers seem to hint at it...

Considering Bioware hasn't been one to shirk from controversy, I sure hope so. I want this game to be a barbaric barrel of badassery.

Always bet on Xbox.
