Like KOTOR, Dragon Age will feature full speech, which is great. Unlike KOTOR, though, Dragon Age's characters will do a lot more emoting. The level of detail in the characters' faces allows them to serve as "virtual actors," to use BioWare's term for it. There are some other nice graphical touches, such as how foreground objects in the environment automatically become transparent in the event that they might be obstructing your view of your characters.
BioWare has apparently spent a long time fleshing out the gameworld, which has a 5,000-year history and many different political, feuding factions. We were told that the game's story will be serious in tone and will involve a lot of political intrigue, conspiracy, and so on. And, of course, like in BioWare's other choose-your-own-adventure-style games, players will be able to conduct themselves in a variety of different ways during the course of Dragon Age.
