The creators of Dragon Age, please, come back to the philosophy of the first part that built the brand

The fact that the new Dragon Age arises has been confirmed some time ago. But this year, maybe we'll find out what this game is.

Dragon Age is another BioWare brand after Mass Effect, whose future seems uncertain. Sure, we know that something is slicing, but what exactly is it and do we really want it? This is another issue.

Anyway fans of the series are waiting hot December. In the latest blog post, Casey Hudson wrote the following paragraph:

If you follow this blog, me or Mark Darrah on Twitter, you know that we're also working on strictly secret things related to Dragon Age. Dragon Age is an extremely important brand in our studio, and we are happy that we can continue its legacy. Look for information on this subject in the coming month (I will not tell you where to look ...)

The first thought is obvious: The Game Awards, which will take place on December 6. During the prestigious award ceremony, the best games of the year will be announced over 10 new titles. Some speculate that it will include a new game from the alien universe, others have reasons to believe in Superman from Rocksteady, and with Batman . Now, to this list, we can add a new Dragon Age. If all this is confirmed, we can get the party almost with E3.

And what can be the new Dragon Age itself? We know two things about the project, also from Hudson: that the next part will focus on the story and characters (no awesome, RPG focusing on the story and characters?) And will use the "live" EA model. So it plays as a service? The developer clarified that "alive" in this case means that the game will be constantly developed. Oh, I feel something that we will see the pressure on multiplayer as in Anthem. I do not enjoy this vision.

Well, but it is also worth keeping your hopes and fears in check. After all, we can finally get a preview of something else in December. Hudson in the post did not use the word "game". Maybe then we will have more comics in the universe waiting for us? Maybe one more animated miniseries? Next book? There are many options. It remains to be hoped that Hudson would not arouse such interest if the announcement was not something big.

Only please, go back to the philosophy of the first part that built the foundations of this brand.

Dragon Age: Origins was a fantastic game. The real "Baldur of our times", a title that does not try to copy those old-school RPGs, but just inspiring them. The players appreciated this and the first edition of the series proved to be a great success, additionally enhanced by the very successful, classic addition of the Awakening.

That is why Dragon Age 2 was created quickly. Much, much too fast. Hurry was the main disadvantage of this game and the nail for her coffin. Sequel Origins met with a huge and well-deserved wave of criticism. The game was overtly underdeveloped, the locations were roughly copied, because the developers ran out of time to design new ones. The fantastic system of fighting against the one was depleted and the game in general became less RPG and more flashy.

At the same time, it developed the universe and had a much more interesting plot than the one in this respect. I still think that it's a good game under this whole ugliness and I do not regret dozens of hours which I have devoted to her. Xbox Live Gold subscribers can also see if Dragon Age 2 was really so bad because the game will appear in the December subscription offer . And maybe it is not a coincidence?

The last hit was Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Here, the studio had more time, but he did not have enough ... passion? Many people praised the Inquisition, criticized a lot, but its indisputable drawback was certainly a non-clawed half-open world filled with boring side tasks. The game also dropped extremely pale and archaic at Witcher 3, which came out six months later.

Will Dragon Age find itself today? Or differently: is BioWare still able to make good games? Mass Effect: Andromeda was created in a huge chaos and bad atmosphere, and the final effect left a bit to be desired. Anthem, on the other hand, looks very, very average. If the studio does not rebuild its reputation now, it may have a bad future ahead of us.
