Dragon Age 2 - Magazine Summary @ Greywardens

Greywardens has a summary of the GameInformer magazine preview for Dragon Age 2.  Of course, most of this is now known but fans may find some additional insight:

Page 3: Juba delivers some background on BioWare and explains the “considerable risk” that Origins was for the company as the “spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate.” Although the public embraced Origins, Juba asserts that “nostalgia can only carry a series so far” and that “(BioWare’s) Edmonton studio is aware that future games in the franchise can’t endlessly go back to the well of fond memories.” Dragon Age II will serve to “establish a new identity” for the world of Thedas and he reports that the game will add a “contemporary twis while retaining the essence of what fans loved about the original.”

Executive director Mark Darrah is quoted: “At the core, what we’re doing is trying to give Dragon Age a shot of adrenaline. It means amping everything up that maybe was a little lacking, but keeping what already works.”
