Quote by Dragon Age: Origins™ Lead Writer David Gaider

"Actually, Orzammar has been under siege since the First Blight. Indeed, the dwarves do not think of there having been a First Blight or Second Blight or anything like that as the humans do... the dwarves have been at constant war with the darkspawn since they first appeared, and they consider the human notion that the darkspawn were defeated after the last Blight to be laughable."

Art style is often considered one of the most important aspects of a gameplay experience. Done well, it tells a story all by itself, and evokes the mood that immerses you into the character and the environment. We'd like to share some more behind-the-scenes information with you and show how our Art Team came to develop what we have come to call "stylized realism". Read the article here!
