Felicia Day, the always-lovely creator/writer/star of web series "The Guild," is a safe bet for ensuring gamers pay attention to whatever it is you happen to be peddling. In this case, BioWare is doing the peddling, which I know you like. Day is set to star in a "Dragon Age" web series, one that she also wrote.
"Dragon Age: Redemption" spins off from the story in "Dragon Age 2," USA Today reports. Day wrote the story for a character of her own creation, an Elven assassin named Tallis. "Tallis is headstrong, she fights dirty, and she has a really sarcastic sense of humor," the writer/star said. "I wanted to bring a modern sensibility to a fantasy character in a fantasy world."
BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk is thrilled with the collaboration. "We are really, really excited to work with people like her who have a passion and appreciation for the content and a really good history of quality," he said. "That's who we want to work with."
Day's six-episode tale follows Tallis on a quest to capture a renegade mage, recruiting a party of companions along the way in the typical "Dragon Age" style. "She can't accomplish her mission alone, so finding allies is tricky," she said. "The success or failure of the mission will have a big impact on her future and her freedom."
The series is in post-production now as Day turns her attention back to season five of "The Guild," which was recently approved on Xbox Live. "Dragon Age 2" is out on March 8, so expect to see "Redemption" surface sometime soon.
