Like a fine wine,Dragon Age: Originsmay get better with age.
Curious to what the future ofOrigins’ content holds, I asked the game’s online producer Fernando Melo what he expects to see fromOriginsa year from now. And then two. And then three.
He thinks that a year out, the gamewill “begin to come of age,” as the team steadily reveals more and more pieces of the narrative’s tapestry.
“Honestly,” he told me via e-mail, “looking atDragon Ageas a franchise, that kind of timeframe (a year plus) is really whenDAwill begin to come of age (if you pardon the pun).
“As we release more content, I think that is the earliest that players will begin to clearly see all the pieces start to weave together, and that will be incredibly exciting to observe as a developer.”
And Melo believes that with this kind of time, the mod community will begin to start putting out consumable — or at least “their best” — content.
“Plus on a separate but integral path,” he tells me, “I am fully expecting that we’ll see the modding community releasing some of their best content by then. TheDragon Agetoolset and the modding scene forDAwill have matured, and that’s something I’m really excited to see the results of.”
