BioWare Moves Forward with Dragon Age Franchise



Today, the team working on Dragon Age II announced that they were done making content for that particular title and are moving on to bigger and better things with the DA franchise. Executive Producer Mark Darrah gave this statement today on BioWare's forums. 


"While we will still be keeping an eye out for any issues that might crop up in DAII and supporting the community should any emergencies should [sic] arise, we're moving the entire team's focus to the next phase of Dragon Age's future..." 


This news is something that makes me excited and a bit worried. I enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins immensely and played it multiple times. Dragon Age II on the other hand didn't live up to the first one. Although combat had improved, the game on the whole had a lot of bugs and a lackluster story. I did enjoy the game despite its flaws and played it just as much as the first DA game. But in the wake of Mass Effect 3's ending backlash I can't help but wonder how DA3 will turn out. I assume that's what they're moving on to at least. I can only hope for the best with it because I like many other people was upset with the finale of ME3 but BioWare is a company that usually pulls through. I'm sure people who remain fans of DA, ME, and BioWare will enjoy the inevitable Dragon Age 3. I just hope it doesn't disappoint.
