Dragon Age 2 set for Feb 2011?

[Sebiale]

I play both single-player RPGs and MMOs.

 

Maybe they'll give DA2 some serious loving this time and actually pour some of their magic snake oil (aka employees) on it.

 

I blame EA, they gotta learn to just leave Bioware alone and let them work. Vivendi leaves Blizzard alone when it comes to their games. Twelve years for a single game(SC2), you don't get much more leeway than that. Except for Duke Nukem Forever, but if that ever comes out, I'll also start checking for flying pigs, sans wings no less.

We just have to see wont we. Maybe they have been working on this whole project non-stop since NWN and do remember that the had four years for Origins. Four years to prefect the entire series by the looks of it.

On an off-note before we start, I must say that the new forum skin definitely makes it look the "-ish." Don't change this one for a while. ;)

 

Anyway, on the subject of Dragon Age, I'm hoping for two things:

 

1) That it, indeed, is NOT an MMO. As in Tikki's case, I'm a recovering WoW addict, and I really can't get back into the MMO schtick anymore. Just let me have my Dragon Age the way it is (just with improved graphics and animations, TYVM) and let me be! ... Well, except for checking out the mod community, of course. XD

 

2) That EA does indeed let Bioware alone and take their time actually crafting the second installment of DA. And no, I would not like to see another expansion pack, I want a full-fledged game like DA: O, but set in another country in Thedas, perhaps in a place such as Par Vollen or the Anderfels (especially the Anderfels, if they stick to the PC being a Grey Warden). Let them add even more awesome content and all, and just publish it as-is without rushing production. MASTERPIECES TAKE TIME, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

 

Okay, my semi-rant is done. Have fun interpreting my thoughts on this, guys. :3

On the note of an MMO. Those take a considerable amount of effort, coding, and testing to make. To update the game engine to an MMO would take a considerable amount of work. Even taking a core and updating it to run on another game platform would be a good deal of work.

So unless EA is really pressing them for a new release, I dont see them doing that in a year's time.

I agree tho, leave it alone, it's great as a single player.

 

Anybody ever notice the similarity in the sound of "Par Vollen" to "Tar Valon" from the Wheel of Time?

 

Ultima Online, Guild Wars, Talisman Online.... yeah, I've had my share of MMORPG addictions too. Done with it! Besides, I LIKE games that can be modded.
