12 years later, BioWare reveals interesting secret about Dragon Age: Origins

BioWare is very busy working on the fourth installment of Dragon Age , but while we wait for some kind of novelty related to this game, your developers have decided to share an interesting secret about the title that started This dear franchise.

According to Ian Stubbington , one of the main environmental artists of _ Dragon Age: Origins, _ the name Dragon Age was the product of a random generator of names. The only problem BioWare saw this was that they did not really plan to put dragons in the game.

Talk to with The Gamer, Stubbington said the following:

At the beginning Dragon Age had no name. There were a few ideas, but nothing specifically, so one of the programmers decided to create a random name generator. They armed several fantasy words to the list. We launched it and threw some names and the one that was at the end was of course 'Dragon Age'. David Gaider (main writer) responded with something like, 'Hmmm, it will be better for us to add dragons to history then ...'

It would certainly have been interesting to know the product that we had had in our hands in case Dragon Age would not have been as the official name for the franchise, but I guess we will never know.
