You know, it was always so depressing playing Dragon Age: Origins and imagining the dark fantasy epic it could have been the start of. A genuinely great game absolutely ruined by the first sequel which only got worse from there.
Maybe with Bioware dead and gone, there's a chance that this series could be remade into what it could have been.

Real shame that this game it set in Ferelden despite the game being great. Because Ferelden is by far the least interesting nation of the setting but it's also the only one that got a proper focus in it's own game.

It was generic D&D fantasy complete with obnoxious dwarven mines. I liked the gameplay but I never found the setting that interesting.

Is it possible another studio might snatch up the Dragon Age or Mass Effect IPs?

Blood magic, anon. Don't use it. Do NOT embrace blood magic. Here's your blood magic starter set.

game was supposed to be a one off, if you want a sequel that would be awakenings.

It's interesting to think what they could have done if they continued to iterate on the interesting gameplay aspects. Like the NPC scripting would give way to a rich NPC behaviour system and then we'd have Western Dragon's Dogma...

dragon age could never be good again unless they made it so everything after da2 didn't exist. all these kids need voiced protagonists too, which is awful. it's over

DA:O is best described by its potential. The game itself was lacking in many respects. But it showed promise, as something that could be built on. The world they created had a lot of places it could go.And they immediately squandered that potential.

DAO wasn't a good game anyway, not sure why you thought a sequel would improve it

It was a final nail in the coffin for my naive assumptions that there any sort of grand story planning coming into those things.

Bioware wasn't planning on making any sequels tho. Only Witch Hunt set up a sequel which was developed after it had already become a hit and EA wanted them to make more. But the base game and Awakening are perfectly self contained. Which is also why the game has so many wildly different ending slides.

I find Bioware fans fascinating. They're like the Sonic fandom of RPGs. Strange stunted manchildren still mentally stuck 20 years ago who can't move on.

BG fans had to contend with BG3 which came over 20 years later and had nothing to do with the first 2. We’re all disappointed desu.

Bro you can literally just decomp the first game and build a sequel from there. Or decomp the second one and make it more based etc.Software is open now, make use of it!

Not really since there is no "vibe backend" for it to be based on now.Development started in mid 2000s, when dark fantasy (and adjacent) *which normies know of* was popular. Think Jordan (dead), Martin (too busy partying with the actress that played the funny whore in the TV show), Abercrombie (redditified himself while attempting to make it big in Hollywood), Cook (fallen out of popularity), Bakker (now a depressed schizo) etc. Nowadays overall the same spot is occupied by either YA trash like Sanderson, which shit's out the same book over again as if he uses AI (credit where it's due - dude is talented at writing slop at extremely fast speed_ or second/third generation asian american slop and wish fullfilment escapist trash about werewolf billionaire dark triadly strutting across the room so tallly darkly and handsomely with 30" dickly that it made the female MC ovulate o algo occupies the most space on the shelves in "scifi and fantasy" section in an average bookstore in a vacuumOverall discourse in "semi-normal-nerd crowd" that bioware was a part of has shifted to whatever the lame fuck critical role is and what late BioWare was - that being gay echochamber that thinks that all of the world is just the same as their social circle

No it was ruined by the shitty combat, mostly retarded quest design and the writing of the villain.
