Dragon Age Origins: Meet Leliana


In this week's Dragon Age: Origins update, we'll take a look at one of the game's female characters, Leliana, a bard from the land of Orlais who also happens to be a selectable party member and from what I can tell a "romance" option in the game. As I can see some of you less lucky guys getting royally slugged by your real-life significant others over choosing this lovely virtual redhead as your potential partner, you may want to keep the fawning to a minimum.


Leliana

In Orlais, bards travel throughout the courts of the land, trading entertainment for the hospitality of the aristocracy while simultaneously playing a more sinister trade: Often, they are secretly spies or assassins. Leliana, however, speaks little of her history as a bard, having left her life in Orlais behind long ago.

She came to the village of Lothering seeking refuge in the Chantry, where she has assumed a life of quiet contemplation and prayer to the Maker, asking Him to forgive a life of deeds that her fellow sisters can only guess at.

Although it is the last path that Leliana would ever choose for herself, she believes that the time will soon come to take up that old life once again. A higher calling awaits her, and with it, a road to true redemption. The Maker has told her this, and she believes.


Remember: the game is set to hit retail on November 3, 2009. More Dragon Age: Origins updates to come - stay tuned!
