While Dragon Age 2 could have been a lot worse, many feel it could have been a lot better. BioWare has taken note of feedback, and say they’re looking to draw from Skyrim.
In an interview with Wired, BioWare CEO and co-founder Ray Muzyka said the third Dragon Age game will have more of an open-world feel to it.
“[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,” he said. “We think we can do some wonderful things.”
While BioWare has yet to actually announce the third game, this is promising for fans of the franchise, as Dragon Age II received a large amount of criticism for being restrictive and rushed.
“Our goal is to surprise and delight our fans,” Muzyka said. “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.”
While no comment was made in regards to rumors that the next game will include a multi-player mode, BioWare VP and co-founder Greg Zeschuk has assured Wired that the next game will have “The most realistic beards ever in videogames.”
