The Dragon Age: Origins Interview on The Game Reviews chats with Mark Darrah, Executive Producer on BioWare's upcoming RPG. Along the way they learn that before the game hits gamers' systems they are already gearing up a merchandizing blitz: "So right now there is a novel coming out before the game, and another novel coming out along with the game. There is a pen and paper game in the works. We have apparel deals. We are working with a company to potentially get swords made. We also are working on comic book, and a few other things just in a planning phase at the moment."
