Hidden away in a secret room at this year’s Game Developers Conference, Dragon Age: Origins Lead Designer Mike Laidlaw showed off some exciting new features to press behind closed doors. He introduced 2 new characters (the hulking Qunari warrior Sten and the beautiful rogue Leliana), a devastating new spell combo (Cone of Cold to freeze enemies then Stone Fist to shatter them) and the never before seen town of Redcliffe, under siege by hordes of attacking undead!

Quote by Dragon Age: Origins™ Lead Writer David Gaider

"There are some gifts which will elicit a specific reaction from a party member. For most others (and be aware that there is a limited number of gifts out there in total) you're getting a reaction which is either neutral or favorable, depending on how much they appreciate the gift in question (and keeping in mind that there are diminishing returns -- by the time you fork over the fifth gift or so the reaction is bound to be muted pretty much no matter what it is). They never react with hostility -- snarkiness, perhaps, but not hostility."
