Felicia Day stars in Dragon Age: Redemption
The name Felicia Day has become synonymous with the web series The Guild (recently approved for season 5). Looking to ignite another internet web series hit, Felicia Day has written and co-produced a new series based off of BioWare's Dragon Age. According to USA Today this new six episode series, Dragon Age: Redemption, is set to come out later this year and will star Felicia Day as the Elven assassin, Tallis.
Redemption will focus around Tallis who is hunting down a renegade mage. Risking everything, including her freedom, Tallis embarks on this mission and soon realizes that she cannot accomplish it on her own and must track down allies to aid her. There is no word of who the allies will be as of yet but Day describes her character as, "headstrong, she fights dirty, and she has a really sarcastic sense of humor," she says. "I wanted to bring a modern sensibility to a fantasy character in a fantasy world."
If you are concerned that this will just be an internet LARP series, fear not. Felicia Day is a lifelong gamer and has said that herself and the crew have put in every effort to create a series that gamers will love. She also reported to USA Today that Dragon Age is one of her current favorite games out there (the other being Mass Effect). So it should be believed that she is doing everything that she can not to ruin one of her favorite franchises. Or so we can hope. In preparation she played through the game again, did lots of research, and read the novels to get her script to be perfect. Even co-founder of BioWare, Greg Zeschuk, has confidence in Day stating, "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". In the end it'll be fun to see Felicia play a character that has a more serious tone than that of what we are used to seeing.
Dragon Age: Redemption is currently in post production and set to be released on the web later this year.
