About That Phat Loot...
Posted by Ethan Levy at 07:26PM on Thursday, January, 20, 2011
For Dragon Age fans, one of the most exciting parts of Dragon Age Legends is the ability to earn unique unlock* items for your hero in Dragon Age 2. We have collaborated with BioWare to develop a set of five items you can unlock in Dragon Age 2 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. We’ll let you know how you can earn each of these items in the future, but for now we wanted to explain a little bit about how these items were designed.
For the back story of Dragon Age Legends, we needed to create a hero who was a renowned demon hunter. We wanted this mythical hero, Evra, to be truly badass. So we made the request “Could you give us a ring that one would use to punch demons in the face?” BioWare did not disappoint.
Evra's Might
When Evra gained notoriety by defeating the Blood Sisters of Vehnstel, he was wearing his signature ring. Although the massive size of the solid gold ring attracts attention, it served a more practical purpose for Evra: he used it to punch demons in the face, sometimes felling them in a single blow.
Evra’s Trophy Belt
This grisly belt is filled with monstrous teeth, chipped blades, scraps of fur, and armor fragments. Each piece is said to be a trophy collected by Evra during his many adventures.
Air of Confidence
After averting a disaster at the Circle of Markham, Evra was given this ring by the First Enchanter. Though the Air of Confidence is not as eye-catching as his other famous ring, it is said that Evra always wore it, even when sleeping. The exact magical properties of the Air of Confidence are a subject of much speculation amongst minstrels.
We wanted our other two items to tie into the fiction of our previous collaboration with BioWare, Dragon Age Journeys. These two items - the Ivo Family Crest and Dura’s Blue Flame - play a part in the narrative of our back burner project, finishing the story of Dragon Age Journeys. For fans who completed the first chapter of Journeys, you should note that we slightly changed the name of the item from “Durus’ Blue Flame” to “Dura’s Blue Flame”. It is just plain easier to pronounce.Ivo Family Crest
Evolving over the years, the crest of House Ivo has become much more ornate than Paragon Ivo's original design. This ancient golden amulet bears the original crest. Though the engravings are simple, the stark lines are somehow deeply stirring.
Dura's Blue Flame
This weathered silver amulet has passed through many hands over the years. A deep blue sapphire almost glows in a certain light. Although time has faded its intricate engravings, the amulet has a certain majesty about it.

Dragon Age Legends: Combat Explained
One of the most lauded features of Dragon Age: Origins was its tactical combat system, which encouraged players to plan ahead and make interesting choices during battle. Indeed, although the system ran in real-time, the player could set a number of triggers that paused combat, to give time for deciding which skills to use and against which enemies. This feature allowed some to play Origins as almost a turn-based game that emphasized smart tactics over fast reflexes.
The Dragon Age Journeys Flash game built in parallel with Origins brought elements of the franchise to an actual turn-based game, in which battles played out on a hex-based grid. For the new Dragon Age Legends Facebook game, we built on top of what worked within the Journeys system (which itself was based on Daniel Stradwick’s Monsters’ Den Flash RPG). Be Legendary!

Staying True To BioWare
Hey there internet, it’s me again, your friendly neighborhood producer Ethan Levy. After announcing Dragon Age Legends for Facebook, one of the things we’ve heard the most curiosity about is the story. BioWare’s mission is to deliver the best story-driven games in the world, and when collaborating with them on a game for one of their franchises, our studio feels it is our duty to stay true to that vision. When we released Dragon Age Journeys, one of my greatest fears would be that fans would say it wasn’t a true BioWare game; living up to the mantle of delivering the best story-driven games in the world is a scary task to take on. Of the many things that make me happy about Journeys, the warm reception the story received is one of the things I am most proud of.

Everything's Better With Friends
Hello internet, it’s me again, your friend Ethan Levy. After announcing Dragon Age Legends, we keep hearing the question, “Why Facebook?” I wanted to answer that question as well as clear up some misconceptions about the platform.

Are these the only items that you can carry over to Dragon Age 2? Or will there be more? I know it sounds ungratefull, but I don´t mean it that way. I just love the legendary gear in the Dragon Age games, both the way they look and their description.
