Dragon Age Dev Reflects: What He'd Change
0
Interesting news has surfaced from former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah, who recently discussed what he would change across each game in the beloved series if he could go back. He touched on several fan-discussed points, like cutting the 'Lost in Dreams' quest from Origins, addressing the forced templar/mage conflict at the end of Dragon Age 2, and significantly reducing the open-world bloat and Power system in Inquisition. It’s fascinating to hear a key developer confirm some of the long-standing criticisms we as players have had, especially regarding the 'filler' content and pacing issues. His insights really highlight the challenges of game development and how some design choices, even with good intentions, don't always land as planned. I particularly agree with the comments on Inquisition's Power system and the dream sequence; it makes me wonder what the series could have been with these tweaks.
