Felicia Day will be working on a new web series based on the Dragon Age franchise. The creator and star of The Guild will appear as an Elven assassin named Tallis in the six episode production named Dragon Age: Redemption, where she will be tracking an apostate mage.
“Tallis is headstrong, she fights dirty, and she has a really sarcastic sense of humor. I wanted to bring a modern sensibility to a fantasy character in a fantasy world,” says Day. “She can’t accomplish her mission alone, so finding allies is tricky. The success or failure of the mission will have a big impact on her future and her freedom.”
“I am an organic gamer and I love games, and I particularly love this franchise,” she added. “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.”
While Day is known for doing a lot on a shoestring budget, this time there were a dozen days of filming with veterans of Independence Day and Lost contributing to the production “They are going to take this a step above what we have seen on the Web before,” says Day, who also co-produced Redemption.
“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.”
