Dragons, they’re so hot right now. And not just because they’re fire-breathing lizards, either. Skyrim’s winning Game of the Year awards, racking up impressive online numbers even though it’s single-player and possibly even impacting the economy. It’s also singed people’s memories of that other dragon-centric fantasy RPG that came out earlier this year. In the months after Dragon Age II came out, BioWare’s co-founders have been supervising the finishing touches on Star Wars: The Old Republic

While the bearded Greg Zeschuk admits that he hasn’t even started Skyrim, co-founder Ray Muzyka’s played through the earliest parts of the game. “I definitely admire the scope of what Bethesda’s built. It’s a beautiful looking world you can lost in,” says Muzyka. “And the lore is very rich so you feel like you’re moving through a world with history and that your actions have consequences. That’s been a big thing for us in our games, too.”
The doctors acknowledge that Dragon Age II was a very polarizing game and claim to have heard the complaints of some hardcore fans regarding the fantasy sequel. “We think that Dragon Age II succeeded in a lot of ways but we’ve thought a lot about how to recapture some of things that Dragon Age Origins did well, too.” Neither co-founder would offer more on what to expect in future Dragon Age games, but Muzyka said fans of both Dragon Age Origins and Skyrim would be happy with upcoming announcements.
