Zum einen hätten wir da ein sehr interessantes Gespräch, welches auf guardian.co.uk veröffentlicht worden ist. Obwohl der kürzliche Release von Mass Effect 2 im Mittekpunkt steht, werden auch solch spannende Themen wie etwa DLC, Genre-Mixes oder aber auch der Einfluss von Electronic Arts nach der Übernahme BioWares angesprochen.
How important is DLC and where is it going?
It’s really hard to make high quality DLC to the level and cadence that you need to keep people interested in your game. We see our games as platforms. Dragon Age and Mass Effect are good examples of this. We want to continually support and grow these games with new content online. It’s not like we left content out to put back in as DLC. We built content separately and developed it in parallel with the main game. It is developed by a separate team at the same time as the main game.

Weiter geht es mit einem (leider künstlich auf drei Artikel verteilten) Interview bei den Kollegen von gamerzines.com (1, 2, 3), welches dadurch allerdings nicht weniger interessant ist.
Im Mittelpunkt steht hier ebenfalls das Thema “DLC”. Wir erfahren allerdings auch, ob Morrigan in Dragon Age 2 wieder eine Rolle spielt. Also unbedingt reinschauen!
Any time-frame associated with all the Dragon Age DLC? You’ve mentioned two years in the past.
Well that was an estimate and we have a plan that lasts for that amount. We view it as a franchise where we want to build expansions, standalone titles and DLC – everything from the small DLC up to full games. We’ll have some move announcements about that later this year with Awakening being the next expansion of course.
