Dragon Age II at Comic-Con, Day Three

The San Diego Comic-Con might be over, but we’re still getting updates about BioWare’s presence via their blog. The third day apparently featured a “BioWare Brawl”:

Our chief swag item this year is an inflatable sword. (Yeah Priestly, I know. I got one last year.) I hear you say. Well, that was a Dragon Age: Origins sword. This is a Dragon Age 2 swordstaff. Definitely not the same beast as last year’s model . This is longer, holds the air better, and is used by a certain Hawke character during the demo. Now, free stuff is always popular at conventions, but I think that our swords are among the most popular of items available.

On Friday, BioWare’s Randall Bishop came up with the idea of having a BioWare Brawl on the front lawn of the hotel. We invited everyone to join us, passed out a heap of the famed inflatable swords and prepared to do battle. Randal lead Team Templars while David Silverman lead Team Mages.

Both sides squared off. Tensions were high but Team Mage quickly learned that Morrigan was on their side (yes, a fan dressed as Morrigan showed up for the fight. Post fight, I saw her with her family where she was nursing her kid. Could that have been the famed (God-baby)?) and gained an early edge in moral. Not to be outdone, Team Templar grabbed a passing Drell named Thane who used his skills for their side.

They should have tossed in a few real weapons just to keep things exciting.
