 Just a simple question (there's been a lot of discussion in the DAO forums about it, but now here).

I was just hoping for an official response on the likelihood of there being a DA2 toolset - even if that response is just "maybe". There was a great deal of marketing for the DAO Toolset before it was released, so I've been a bit concerned since there hasn't even been a single word about a possible DA2 toolset.

I'm aware that DA2 isn't too far into development, but I just want to know if the devs are at least considering it. The DAO toolset (which I think is awesome) got a bit of a mixed response and my concern that Bioware won't bother releasing a new one.

So yeah: will there be a DA2 toolset? If so, how different will it be from the first? If there won't be one, why? I'm not just making this as a direct appeal to the devs; feel free to speculate in here.

I believe Mike already answered this, but let me repeat: we're considering it, but if there is something for you guys to use it will probably come in the form of an update to the DAO toolset (which would make sense, as we're essentially using the same toolset ourselves).

Right now we don't know for certain that we'll have a chance to do this, hence we aren't mentioning it (lest we be perceived as making iron-clad promises and then be accused of utter betrayal should we change our minds). We'll eventually decide if and when this will happen-- though I will say that the only reason you received the DAO toolset in timely fashion was because of the release delay. Had there been no delay you probably would have received the toolset around the time the game actually did come out-- we don't tend to work on packaging up a toolset for public consumption until after our work on the game itself is primarily done.

So the answer is: we don't know, on any count. But Mike didn't say "no", so that will have to do for the moment.

No change, still nothing definite one way or the other. Sorry, folks.

Is there any one or two things in particular keeping the toolset out of our hands?

Yes, a decision on whether to release the toolset to the public. *rimshot* Thank you, I'm here all week.

We have not made any announcements or promises regarding the public release of the Dragon Age II toolset. Looking at my statements "analytically" is probably going to be disappointing in the long run. If you want clarification on anything I say, please ask. I will always respond as openly and honestly as I am able to.

Thank you.
