The Dragon Age comparison: Part 2; The Fans.

Now I can safely say that within a few months after Dragon Age: Origins release, fans across the globe formed like a swarm of fantasy loving hungry flies.
The new world created by BioWare promised RPG gamers an exciting, fresh and enjoyable new world to toy around with and experiment. The result of this led to the game winning many awards and people around the world wanting to contribute to the game in their own way, whether it be making mods, cosplay or even just telling their friends about this step up for BioWare games with a combination of Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate.

Unlike most games, the fan base did not die out but continued to grow. The game continued to sell more copies, merchandise was on high demand and the fan art was through the roof... well it was piled up in my household and the Internet.
The cosplay for this game franchise was quite epic in its quality with in my own opinion some fantastic displays!
Even the legendary women that is Felicia Day expressed openly her love for Dragon Age:Origins quoting "This is my favourite game."
To all those reading this and are thinking ' pfft. I dont care what a silly women says..' Well this is a women that has spent countless amounts of time reading, playing and talking about the fantasy genre and even hosts the sensational Internet series of The Guild.

Felicia Day was then contacted by BioWare to help create a mini web series of the ever growing Dragon Age universe. To this offer she kindly and gladly excepted and the series will be airing come Autumn time this year.

Fans across the USA and everyone who visited the 2010 Comic Con would remember the first annual BioWare brawl. This is basically where all fans were given blow up weapons and assembled into two sides and then when the war cry was given... FIGHTTTT!!!!!

Now I move onto the fans of Dragon Age 2.
The mass of Origins fans all lined up excited for the sequel which promised to be even better than its predecessor, and with all honesty the game began with expectations being met due to faster combat and the chance to meet new characters and explore outside Fereldon.

However, as fans began to play further into the game they began to revolt against the new BioWare and EA partnership ripping into the game's many rushed faults (myself included).
I'ts too early to say just yet whether Dragon Age has lost fans or gained more,but all I know for sure is the people who adored Origins and the whole creation of Dragon Age by David Gaider, and are praying that the wrongs of Dragon Age 2 will be corrected, will go on to love Dragon Age still and even find more pro's in their gaming experience after numerous playthroughs and expansions that I'm sure will spice things up in the near future.
Not only are the fans cosplay costumes more epic. But the fan art seems to have improved with mainly Hawke, Fenris and Flemmith being the hot characters at the moment. I just cant wait to see how BioWare and it's amazing fans can conjure up something to help put those fans in doubt at ease and reignite the once great burning fire of excitement amongst Dragon Age, Fantasy, BioWare and RPG fans around the world.

So for now this is all of Part Two of this section of my blog. I hope you enjoyed it and will follow me to read future additions to this section and more.

Thank You
