While I was at the Dragon Age preview event, EA also offered the chance to interview the Game's Director and Producer. I hadn't planned on doing a formal interview, but I put my phone on the table and recorded it anyways, thinking maybe I'd type up some highlights or something. Once I got home, the audio quality turned out to be a lot better than I expected. So we cleaned it up a little, and now you can listen to our Dragon Age chat, including thoughts on character customization, art style, combat, level design, and more. -Bloodworth
