Easy question, will there be a toolset for the PC version of Dragon Age 2 like Origins? I am worried about the "Mass-Effect-Like" thing, that's why I asked. A Bioware response will be much appreciated.

If it's too early to release information on it, how about this: is it in the cards at least? Hopefully there'd be some news on it, because not knowing puts something of a damper on current modding activity for what might otherwise be a more exciting announcement.

If their using an updated engine i would imagine they would release a toolset.

My best guess would be that if they update the engine, which from what I have read sounds like they have, then yes they will release a new toolset. Though if they do or they don't it doesn't really affect me, I will be getting it for the 360.

As with MP, alocating resources to produce a Toolset takes away from making the Purfect™ singleplayer experience, ect ect ect ect.



At least, that's how this community will probably explain it to you.



Toolset (support) is now in the same boat as MP, and very likely you need to row to Obsidian's hush hush project =)



This one seems to be a SP game only with DLC afterwards, probably. Time will tell.



But if you're looking to make your own modules, (as how it's done in nwn) our only hope lies with Obsidian for now. Unless Bioware is working on something like that but it hasnt been announced yet. Then I stand corrected =) Not putting much hope into it though.



A sad day for Toolset and mp fans. But oh well.

As long as they're developing it with the pc as lead platform like DAO, then im sure there will be one.

Im hoping yes, and I really hope it doesnt have that SQL server rubbish this time, I could install the toolset just fine, but I just couldnt get SQL to work properly with it, hence couldnt actually use the toolset :<

Hoping for a toolset, and it to come with the game! I seriously snapped when I literally bought DA:O for PS3 on belief there was no world altering abilities available for the game outside of mods and the next day, the toolset was released for it.

Even though toolset updates dried up ages ago (not to be ungrateful for devs still helping in the forums), I'd assume the new toolset could practically be the same one they used to create DA2 (without the same lightmapper like in DA:O, but hopefully better than what we have now). As long as it's still an evolution of their Eclipse engine and they didn't throw it all away for something like Unreal Engine 3 (a la Mass Effect), I don't see why they couldn't throw us a bone.

Toolset (support) is now in the same boat as MP, and very likely you need to row to Obsidian's hush hush project =)

Thought that was Dungeon Seige 3... but anyhoo, I'd sooner think toolset support is more likely than MP support which they definitely don't seem interested in. It's not like custom mods and adventures hurt their DLC sales any that I could imagine, and for all they know kept player interest up long enough to buy them when they came out.

But if you're looking to make your own modules, (as how it's done in nwn) our only hope lies with Obsidian for now. Unless Bioware is working on something like that but it hasnt been announced yet. Then I stand corrected =) Not putting much hope into it though.

I suppose I'm too used to the NWN2 toolset (I know OEI != BW), where it seemed at least a given that the toolset was updated a lot more often. I'm not sure why we can't at least get a few more updated resources even without a toolset update, so we can make-do ourselves.

I don't think it's too early to ask this question, usually it's about the engine and at this time they should know it; In the last few weeks I heard a lot of good words about Bioware and the PC gaming, it's time to see if they said the truth. Dragon Age: Origins is a really great game but it was the community that made it almost perfect with mods and, in the end, we all know that usually PC gamers don't bother graphics so much, Personally I would prefer a DA2 with same graphics of Origins but with a built-in toolset :)
