'Dragon Age: Redemption' Episode 1

The first part of Felicia Day's Dragon Age: Redemption has been released. At seven minutes this first part introduces us to the setting of Dragon Age and who/what Felicia Day's character, Tallis, is. I must admit that I am incredibly glad to see her portraying a role that is not a "socially awkward geek" like everything else she has recently done. Though we don't get too much character development in this first installment you can see that Felicia shows promise in the roll of an Elven Assassin. However, the one thing that really bugged me throughout the episode was her elf ears. They just don't seem to fit her. Maybe the skin tone of them is too light and that's why they aren't looking real. Whatever the case, I kept laughing at them. The costumes and make-up affects in the rest of the episode seem great and hopefully stay at this level.
The end result is that this first episode does a good enough job to draw viewers back and promises a dark tone to the series. It'll be very interesting to see where this story goes and how it'll tie together in the 6 episode arc it was given.

The Dragon Age 2: Mark of the Assassin is a tie-in to the series and continues Tallis' story. It is available for download now.
