BioWare Asks ‘DRAGON AGE’ Fans: PLEASE TELL US WHAT TO DO.

Man, BioWare is doing some serious soul searching. Hot off the gigantic dump (actually not too big, just a dungeon and a town) that was Dragon Age 2  and the cataclysmic reaction to Mass Effect 3‘s ending, the company is asking their fans what to do with the Dragon Age  franchise. Is this awesome…or just sort of aimless and sad?

Kotaku:

With  Mass Effect 3  hogging the headlines for all the  right  (and  wrong) reasons this month, BioWare feels now is the time to reveal that the  Dragon Age  series is in for what sounds like a  serious  bout of self-reflection.

After the second game in the series bitterly disappointed many fans, and with it now being a year since the release of the ill-fated RPG, executive producer Mark Darrah has posted an open letter on BioWare’s forums in which he basically says “tell us where you want the series to go next”.

“This past year, we’ve spent a lot of time both going back to the “BioWare vault” of games and re-examining them, and looking at some new possibilities that today’s industry allows”, he writes.

“With that, the next thing for the Dragon Age team members and I to do is hear from you, and not just on the forums, or Facebook, or Twitter. We’ll be attending a number of conventions and gatherings, including PAX East in April. The most valuable thing we can get out of those meetings is to hear from you on those same topics — what does Dragon Age mean to you, and where would you like to see it go? We’re excited to hear what you have to say!”

I thought what was there of Dragon Age 2  was pretty fucking neat. Unfortunately, that version of Half-Life 2  that leaked over a year before the title actually dropped felt more complete to me.
