BioWare says the future DLCs for Dragon Age II will address the core problems in the main game, as they attempted to do in the recently released Legacy DLC.

“We have some more DLC plans, that actually address some of the feedback from some of our core fans. I think that’s going to be really satisfying to fans who liked Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2,” BioWare co-founder Ray Mazyuka said while talking to IndustryGamers.

“Maybe some of that can be attributed to some of the fans of Dragon Age: Origins who were maybe expecting a similar experience. But we actually innovated, we took a lot of risk, we were pushing the envelope on how we told the story, the gameplay, the action moments, the graphics – a lot of things were changed. And, actually, I really believe it was the right direction.

“We were proud of the team. We think they were the right changes. We wanted the team to push in that direction.”

BioWare, however, is also looking to keep the best of both worlds- Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II- in future projects of the series.

“What we want to do in the future is make sure we integrate that feedback from our core fans, so they come along with us for the journey, as we continue to build up the Dragon Age franchise and make the next ones even bigger and better so that all of our fans are delighted and surprised,” Muzyka said.

“We think we can do that. We can actually take the best of breed features from the original game in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II and put them together.

“We also want to integrate feedback from our core fans because they’re really important to us. So I think there’s a nice balance that can be struck to achieve that.”

No future DLCs have yet been announced, though.

Dragon Age II’s director Mike Laidlaw said on the BioWare forums that the Legacy DLC has proved that BioWare is listening to what the fans want with the Dragon Age series, and that they’re not just turning the series into Call of Duty or other popular franchises.

“Pause is given as people wonder if, just maybe, Legacy is a hint that Dragon Age is not trying to be Call of Duty, or Devil May Cry or whatever other franchise people have prognosticated in dire tones and with furious shaking of head will be the future of DA,” he said. “And that’s a great development; and one that I think required us to both put up and shut up. Saying we were listening would always be less effective than releasing something that demonstrates it.”

Laidlaw said that nothing will ever please everybody, but as long as the end product delivers properly, he will be satisfied.

“DAII clearly didn’t deliver on all fronts for you guys. For some it did, but I’m truly, deeply cognizant of the parts that are weak, and while we’re not going to agree on everything, there’s a game out there that’s better than both Origins and DAII, and I’ll be damned if the talented folks of the DA team can’t find it.”

Here’s what we think BioWare needs to do with the Dragon Age series to undo the damage they did with DA2.

A story based expansion for Dragon Age II titled ‘Legacy’ will be available this month, EA confirmed this during their recent showcase event. The pack will dive further into the Hawke family’s story. During the presentation, a live demo showed players heading into the Grey Warden Prison  as well as a few outdoor areas. The DLC will also feature some new enemies, including a new a new Darkspawn called the ‘Genlock Alpha’, according to Game Informer.
