Dragon Age: Origins Promotes Social Gaming


While Dragon Age: Origins is a single player gaming experience, BioWare is taking steps to make sure players can still connect and share their game together. The PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of
BioWares social website will track accomplishments and choices made through the game to be shared with your fellow Dragon Agers. The PC version of the game will even share important moments through screenshots, like defeating a boss - though, manual uploads to the site are possible as well.
What benefits could it have? Perhaps it'll help you see a path through a certain situation by the choices another player makes. Maybe the screenshot of the boss defeat lends a clue to his weakness and gets you over the hump. It may not be a substitute for the lack of co-op in the game, something Bioware's Baldur's Gate had, but it's still an interesting way to work together.
What did BioWare have to say on the topic?
"One of the things for us that was really important and we're clearly seeing it on PC games—and coming across to consoles—is basically having a social experience of some sort."
We couldn't agree more. It may not be co-op, but it's still gaming together in a way.

I didn't say it was "Gaming together" I said "Share their game together" which is exactly what we do when we share experiences in our forums or on other social gaming sites - we share the game itself.
coop-out.
As I've said to several other people before you: please reconsider your tone when commenting on articles like this. I had a long post prepared, but suffice to say that your comment is drawing my ire. Don't be a prick.
Back on topic: Dragon Age intrigues me. I wish it had co-op so badly. The social network is cool and different...hopefully it teaches BioWare how much more important co-op gameplay is.
Gotta say that as someone who played the shit outta BG1 + 2, I have to agree that this needs co-op. They had lan play in those original games and it was a ton of fun.
Man those were such fun games.
Hopefully more companies wake up and realize that co-op is the way to go now.
