The cover story for the month of September over at Game Informer is the long-awaited third installment in the Dragon Age franchise, Dragon Age: Inquisition. The cover can partially be seen above; head to the source link below for the full show.

We’ve already seen a cinematic trailer for the game and many goodies will be shared in the coming weeks, but to kick things off, we have some new information about the game and the first ever peek at some gameplay action.

The footage is only pre-alpha in a pair of behind-the-scenes peeks at the project, but it is the first look we’ve had at the actual game, and that’s exciting for fans of the series (or at least the amazing first game). Continue below now for more info, and to check out the pair of videos that discuss the game and show off the first peek at gameplay.

Finally! After a lengthy wait, the very first trailer for the much anticipated sequel to Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II has finally arrived.

BioWare officially announced Dragon Age III: Inquisition last September after a long period of rumors that the Mass Effect creators were hard at work on the game. Not much has been heard since then, not until now, when the first trailer was released.

As always, the first trailer is only cinematic; but it does include some familiar faces and a good peek at what we can expect to be dealing with in the game. Which is, of course: terrifying alien creature thingys raining down from the damn sky!

Check out the first trailer for Dragon Age III: Inquisition below now!

The video game deal of the day over at Amazon today is the Dragon Age Pack for PC Download or Mac Download for $11.99 each (that’s 76% off the list price of $49.98).

The pack comes with Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition and Dragon Age II.

If there’s one thing that Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game studio BioWare doesn’t get enough credit for, it’s taking what their fans say to heart, and using that feedback to try and improve future installments of their various franchises.

This commendable effort doesn’t always pay off, however, as was the case with Dragon Age 2, the follow–up to their awesome fantasy title, Dragon Age: Origins. While the game had a lot of positives to offer and was still a solid play, some things were just too distracting to ignore, such as a mind–boggling amount of recycled locations and a combat system that “evolved” from strategic and satisfying to an chaotic mess of button–mashing madness (if you were a warrior, anyway).

When it comes to Dragon Age 3, the game isn’t even officially announced yet, but that’s not stopping BioWare from planning ahead and figuring how to make it the best in the series.

Everyone knows Felicia Day as the creator of the ultra-popular web-series, The Guild, and as one of the great Geek Goddesses of this Earth of ours. She’s also known from her work on things like Joss Whedon’s hit show and musical Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

Now, after offering her voice to a role in Fallout: New Vegas, Day is stepping back into the realms of video games. It’s been announced that the actress will star in a six-episode web series based on the highly successful BioWare titles Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II.

The live-action series, titled Dragon Age: Redemption, will also be set in Ferelden, where Day will play an original character named Tallis. Of her character, Day said “Tallis is headstrong, she fights dirty, and she has a really sarcastic sense of humor,” she says. “I wanted to bring a modern sensibility to a fantasy character in a fantasy world.”
