Women in Gaming: Felicia Day to Star in 'Dragon Age' Web Series

Look out, Ferelden, Felicia Day is takin’ over and she fights dirty!

USA Today announced that The Guild's Felicia Day is to write and star in a web series based on Bioware’s Dragon Age: Origins. The series, called Dragon Age: Redemption follows Felicia’s character: an assassin named Tallis.

Felicia describes Tallis as “Headstrong, she fights dirty, and she has a really sarcastic sense of humor. I wanted to bring a modern sensibility to a fantasy character in a fantasy world.”

Considering all the bad video game movies that have gone…well, TERRIBLE, how is Bioware reacting? They’re ecstatic. So much so, in fact, that they let Felicia play Dragon Age II, which doesn’t come out until next month.

“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,” says BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk. “That’s who we want to work with.”

This is no cheap fan flick either, folks – the series was directed by Peter Winther (Associate Producer, Independence Day) and shot by cinemetographer, John Bartley (Lost).

So, fans, there you have it. If you have talent and an enormous love for gaming then you can go far. CONGRATULATIONS, FELICIA!!

I can't wait to see this! I adore Felicia Day and since I was aware she was a Dragon Age fan I'm surprised she's doing this, as long as it as awesome as The Guild I'll be happy. Anything with more Felicia Day is a win in my book.

Loved The Guild, Felicia is a great actress. But I'm not gonna get my hopes up. Live action from almost any game or movie nowdays, tends to be no better then a B-movie with no real connection to what it was based on.

I'm really looking forward to this. My friend keeps telling me about Dragon Age and, like many people, I love Felicia Day. I hope it turns out well.

Not really feeling any great excitment for this...Felicia day, great. Dragon age, Great. Can't help remembering the rule that "Live action+Video Game = some kind of crap" though (except the Megaman fan film, which was great).
