The secret of Dragon Age Origins revealed 12 years later

Origes of Dragon Age was the beginning of a new BioWare franchise when it was launched in 2009. To this day, it is widely considered one of the best role games of all time, and since then it has been followed by two games More, with a fourth entrance. Currently under development in BioWare. That said, the series was not always called ra del dragon and I almost had no dragons.

According to origen of Dragon Age Main Environmental Artist Ian Stubbington, the name era of the dragon was the product of a random name generator. The problem with this name? BioWare did not plan to have dragons in the game.

Early, I did not have a name, said Dragon Age: Origen The environmental artist Ian Stubbington as he spoke with the player. There were some ideas but nothing concrete, so it was decided that one of the coders would make a rapid generator of random names. They gathered something and added a lot of fantasy words to the list. He turned on and produced some names and the one who obtained the final vote of the team at that time was, of course, 'Dragon Age'. David Gaider (main writer) answered [with] something like, 'Hmm, will be better than adding some dragons to the story and then ...'

According to Gaider, the name forced him to rewrite the story to fit the dragons in the game, since the plan was originally extinguishing them by game events. This also meant that the development team needed to add battles with dragons, which is when the Archdemon became a dragon and Flemeth became a dragon.

The Archidemon was a kind of Villain of a big and strange anime that was felt as Lovecraft _Fantasía final, said another developer while talking with the medium mentioned above about the original design of the Archdemon.

As you can see, the dragon_ was almost a very different game, and Chronicles could have been called, or at least that was his initial temporary name. Fortunately, the team ended up in Dragon Age, because although it can be a bit generic, and although it may have caused concussion in development, it is a much better name than Chronicles.
