Chris Priestly (Community Coordinator "behind an Evil desk in Marketing") von BioWare kündigte an, dass rund drei Wochen vor der Veröffentlichung von Dragon Age: Origins (ab 1,00€ bei kaufen) der "Character Creator" losgelöst vom Rollenspiel veröffentlicht wird. Mit dem Editor könnt ihr dann vorab euren Charakter (Klasse, Rasse, Aussehen, etc.) für die PC-Version erstellen. Diese Protagonisten können danach gespeichert und später ins Spiel übernommen werden.

Am 13. Oktober soll der "Character Creator" (u.a. in deutscher Sprache) zum Download bereit stehen (Größe: ca. 320 MB) und auch eine Beta-Version der "Social Community"-Seite soll starten.

What we have managed to do is get the awesome BioWare dev dudes/dudettes to break off the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator from the main game so you can download it as a separate application to your PC. Once you have downloaded and installed the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator you will be able to "pre-create" characters for use in the PC version at launch. The Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator will allow you to create numerous different characters before launch and experiment with the different classes, races, and create multiple faces for the 6 Origin stories and save them to your hard drive for safe keeping until the game is released.

As you may be aware we are extending the BioWare community with a new social community site for Dragon Age: Origins. The great news is when we launch the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator we will also be launching an open beta of the new social community site. You will be able to log into the new Social community site with your existing BioWare forums account name and password, and update it to the new social site account. Characters created with the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator can also be uploaded to your account from within the Character creator. Once logged in to the social site, one of the first things you will be able to do is use one of your uploaded characters as your social website avatar for your profile on the new social website forums (yes we got that in!!), exciting stuff! Stay tuned for more information on the social website from now through launch.
