BioWare's next Dragon Age will not only draw from previous games, but apparently with the success of Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, BioWare will now be looking at the best features from that title as well. BioWare CEO Dr. Ray Muzyka told Wired that the company is actively listening to fans who were unhappy with the series' second entry.
“[The next Dragon Age] is gonna have the best of features from the prior Dragon Age games, but it’s also gonna have a lot of things I think players are gonna find compelling from some of the games that are out now that are doing really well with more of an open world feel,” Muzyka said. “We’re checking [Skyrim] out aggressively. We like it. We’re big admirers of [Bethesda] and the product. We think we can do some wonderful things.”
Dragon Age II polarized the fanbase with features like randomly spawning enemies, repetitive dungeons, and the inability to equip your companions. Muzyka said that they've learned from the feedback.
“How do we combine the new innovations we brought in Dragon Age II with the experience people were looking for in Dragon Age: Origins?” Muzyka said.
“Our goal is to surprise and delight our fans. I’ve seen something in the last couple of weeks that is really the future of that franchise that is so compelling, I am so looking forward to being able to announce it.”
Can BioWare please all the people all of the time with Dragon Age III?
