David Gaider, Lead Writer Dragon Age, on BioWare's Games Past and Future

BioWare's Games Past and Future

"I totally get why someone would want to see more of a particular game style that they very much liked - and I am glad that there are fans out there that like games we've made so much that they do hope for more of the same - but I think a little expectation management is in order. We are going to make different games with sometimes completely different styles even if, at heart, we keep a heavy focus on story - that still allows us a lot of leeway. There's no reason that simply because we made Baldur's Gate 2 or Neverwinter Nights that every game we make after those should be exactly the same as them."
