Dragon Age: Redemption, Starring Felicia Day

USA Today is reporting that Felicia Day of The Guild fame is writing and starring in a new web-exclusive, six-episode video series entitled Dragon Age: Redemption. Apparently she’ll play an Elven assassin named Tallis who “fights dirty”:

“Tallis is 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.”

Tallis goes on a quest to capture a renegade magician. Along the way, she gathers her own fellowship. “She can’t accomplish her mission alone, so finding allies is tricky,” Day says. “The success or failure of the mission will have a big impact on her future and her freedom.”

A life-long game player, Day is fully aware they have a poor track record when it comes to adaptation. “I am an organic gamer and I love games, and I particularly love this franchise,” she says. “I put every single effort into making this something that gamers will be proud of. Even though we were constrained a lot as a Web series, none of the people who were involved took that as a constraint. They took that as a challenge.”

That dedication is what convinced the developers at Dragon Age studio BioWare that Day was the right person for the project.

“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.”

Keeping track of all the Dragon Age side projects in development is starting to become difficult.
