If you want to talk about moving a franchise forward fast look no further than anything coming out of BioWare’s studios. The upcoming, mammoth-sized RPG , Dragon Age: Origins, will be on the receiving end of new apparel deals and even some replica weapons. I guess the Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons best watch out, because it looks like a new form of nerd-based fandom is on the way.

In a recent interview with The Game Reviews, Executive Produce for Dragon Age: Origins, Mark Darrah let loose the news that in addition to current apparel for the game being offered on the BioWare site, new deals are being made for a clothing line of Dragon Age: Origins gear. He stated that…

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.

In addition to getting all this cool swag out there for Dragon Age: Origins, Darrah also revealed that the company will plan on supporting downloadable content for the game for up to two years. Now that’s what I call support.
