A message at the Dragon Age site reminds that David Gaider's The Stolen Throne novel is due today (or tomorrow, for those behind my time zone) - toss us some comments if you pick it up.
More information.

"The stolen throne book" sounded interesting …

"The Stolen Throne" title reminds of "A Game OF Thrones," but I doubt it'll be of that level of quality. In any case, I like these sorts of introductions to games, even though they're usually not up there in terms of good writing.

I thought I was mad about Dragon Age getting delayed for months. Gaider must be really upset!
I smell a… wumpus!?

Fingers crossed, anyhow.

I inted to use this book the way I use guides, wikis and what not - to get as much background information as possible. I generally like settings where I know more than just what is presented in the game. I also like references to characters or subplots I've read about elsewhere (i.e references to Dak'kon in both BG2 and NWN2, the intertwined story and settings of the HoMM/MM universe, etc).
I probably won't be able to find this at the local bookstore though, so I'll probably have to buy it online.
