Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1I'm a sucker for art books and it took all my will not to tell Labyrinth Books to shut up and take my money when I stopped at their row upon row of shelves at Fan Expo last weekend. My bank account wouldn't have been happy, so I wisely opted to get only this, since it was far more than an art book dedicated to a game series that I love.
The World of Thedas is just what the title says it is. Think of it as a wiki on beautiful, beautiful crack. There definitely is artwork included. Every page is covered in it. But I'm all about the lore and there is no shortage of that here, from Andraste to Zazikel and everything in between, including fashion, politics, landscapes, magic, countries, timelines, religion and more.
As a big fan of the Dragon Age series, this is a must have for me. It will keep me content while I patiently wait for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Patiently....

Gorgeous! Is this really more of an art book, complete with concept art and drafts and sketches, or more like an encyclopedia type book of the world of Dragon Age, with artwork?
ReplyDeleteIt's more about the lore, but the art is dominant. No page exists without it and many pages are just images. There is a beautiful half page Morrigan, and then all the fashion and scenery. And I definitely want an Orlesian bed...
