'It's Not Great Content': Ex-Dragon Age Exec Says He'd Now Change or Ditch Several Key Moments From the Series
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Former Dragon Age executive Mark Darrah reflected on the series and suggested he would reduce or remove the lengthy dream sequence in Dragon Age: Origins, which he felt was filler content created quickly.
- For Dragon Age 2, Darrah would revise the ending to allow players siding with the mages to avoid fighting Orsino, addressing the issue where the game's conclusion made the templar leader Meredith appear always correct.
- Regarding Dragon Age: Inquisition, Darrah proposed cutting one large zone like the Hissing Wastes and reducing the power requirements for critical story missions by 40-60% to improve pacing and player experience.
- For Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Darrah recommended adding the Keep, BioWare's cloud-based choice repository, but did not suggest removing any content from the game.
- BioWare is currently focused solely on developing the next Mass Effect game, with no immediate plans for new Dragon Age projects.
