Felicia Day, star of the Internet series The Guild, will also be the star of Dragon Age: Redemption a web spin-off to the dark fantasy Dragon Age series that will debut this summer.
She also has a huge crush on Thane, the dying green alien from Mass Effect 2 (âHe is not a lizard man!â she protested when I referred to him as such.) In New York yesterday she was promoting Redemption and effortlessly testifying to her gaming credentials. Thatâs a combo that could benefit those of us who are disappointed with the live-action versions of video games that weâve been subjected to so far.

Day would love to make a Mass Effect or Fallout movie someday, she told me. She gets it; she gets that gaming worlds are places you visit for eight or 80 hours, not two â something she thinks the current makers of video game movies miss. Sheâs taking that respect to Dragon Age Redemption, though not with a Hollywood-size budget.
Youâll get the gist from the quick video interview we shot. Not seen in the video: the picture she showed me on her iPhone of the nasty-looking busted lip she got while learning sword-fighting for the series. Look for its debut this summer. Weâve got a teaser for now.
