Dragon Age: The World of Thedas (1) (Dragon Age (Paperback))

It was shipped a lot faster than I expected, and arrived in good condition. It provides much enjoyable background information and art for a Dragon Age fan without any significant spoilers or hints on the actual computer games. In part, a great bundle of flavour text, and in part, a gazetteer of the world of Dragon Age.

Como fanatico de Dragon age origins y DA 2, el libro me cayo del cielo y a un buen precio, con excelente artwork de Mike laidlaw que seguramente se extranara en los futuros juegos; una gran cantidad de lore del mundo y sus habitantes, este volumen te dejara con ganas del segundo que seguramente me comprare en los futuros meses. Muy recomendado.

O livro é maravilhoso!!! Cheio de ilustrações lindas e diversos detalhes sobre as regiões, os povos e a historia do setting de dragon age ❤️❤️ ele é bem maior do que eu esperava ❤️

Ce livre était à la base un achat impulsif dont je ne savais pas s'il était vraiment justifié. Au final, je peux vous dire que je n'ai pas du tout regretté de m'être écouté. Ce volume est une succession ininterrompue d'informations toujours inintéressantes pour les fans de Dragon Age comme pour les fans d'Univers Heroic Fantasy bien écrits, cohérents et mystérieux. D'autant plus qu'il est superbement illustré.Je le recommande vivement, n'hésitez pas (j'attends avec impatience le 2ème volume) ! Par contre, étant intégralement en anglais un peu soutenu, il vaut mieux avoir une certaine maîtrise de la langue pour bien en profiter.

"The World of Thedas" is amazing for the superb art in every page and for the incredible wealth of information on the game world of "Dragon Age". If you are a fan of this universe you cannot miss this magnificent book. The book is well written, in a clear, concise way and touches on every major part of lore. We get info on all the races, religions, the blights, the wars and the evolution of the continent of Thedas from the most early age, when Elf's ruled and the humans weren't even around. The book even touches on events from DA2's DLC as its completely up to date, until DA3 comes around. There's no specific focus on any character from the games, although some like Alistair or Hawke are mentioned when discussing specific events. There are some canon mistakes but Bioware has an errata on their website (written by Brother Genitivi himself hahaha) and quite frankly they're nothing really major, considering the work that went into this volume. After all this is a fictional world, with huge history and detail and with the enormous lore the book holds, a few mistakes are forgiven. Unlike The Art of the Mass Effect Universe this book is not about the process of building and imagining this universe and designing the game. This is a compendium, an encyclopedia about the lore in beautifully realized pages. Yes, the art really is fantastic, with some truly gorgeous illustrations page after page.This is a majestic book and a delight for someone, like me, who has spent hundreds of hours on both games. But even for a casual fan, "The World of Thedas" is so beautiful and impressive, its worth every cent.Hey Bioware how about something like this for Mass Effect? Come on, do it!!!!!

Written like an encyclopedia for a citizen of Thedas, this book contains a lot of lore and information for the Dragon Age world. Beautiful illustrations and a must for the Dragon Age fan.
