Dragon Age Journeys Browser Game Is Up, Unlock Origins Bonus Items
Last week I told you that Bioware was planning a browser game that would tie into the story of their upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins. Yesterday the first episode of that browser series, Dragon Age Journeys: The Deep Roads, was unleashed onto the web.
In case story background details wasn't enough incentive to check out the browser game, Bioware is including some special items for Dragon Age: Origins that can only be obtained by unlocking them in Dragon Age Journeys. Those items are:
- Embri's Many Pockets, a ring that provides +5% Fire Resistance, +5% Cold Resistance, +5% Electricity Resistance, +5% Nature Resistance, and +5% Spirit Resistance.
- Helm of the Deep, a helmet that provides +2 Constitution, +10 Mental Resistance, and +10 Physical Resistance.
- Amulet of the War Mage which provides +5% to Fire Damage, +5 % to Cold Damage, +5% to Electrical Damage, +5% to Nature Damage, and +5% to Spirit Damage.
In order to claim these unlockables you will need to sign into Dragon Age Journeys using an EA account so that you can save your progress, and then once you've unlocked them in Journeys just sign into your EA account in Origins and the items should be transferred. Presumably, future Dragon Age Journeys episodes will include similar unlockable items.
Even without the bonus items, RPG fans should definitely give Journeys a try. I spent a little bit of time with it yesterday and really enjoyed the quick grid-based battles and dungeon exploration. It also gives you a sneak peek at some of the class skills that you'll be able to use in Origins, so you can already start to figure out how your character will progress. See for yourself over at the Dragon Age Journeys site.

Having played through the game once now, I can say that it's fairly enjoyable. All of the requirements for the bonus items can be earned in one playthrough, with the sole exception of the Mighty Magic achievement, which requires you to complete the game once as each class.
