[Abstract]

"During a presentation on localization, Bioware
localization representative Ian Mitchell showed some stats involving the
amount of content in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II.
The information gave some surprising insight into the scope of the
sequel versus its predecessor. This information is undoubtedly rounded,
but some key stats are:"



Dragon Age: Origins 
1,000,000 Words
1,000 Cinematics
1,000 Characters
56,000 Spoken Lines 
60 Hours of Gameplay

Dragon Age II
400,000 Words
2,500 Cinematics
500 Characters
38,000 Spoken Lines
40 Hours of Gameplay

In my opinion this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it could result in a very tight, focused experience. Thoughts?

This isn't surprising at all, especially given how enamored video game devs have become with crafting cut scenes. Maybe they should should focus on dialog and gameplay instead of trying to be amateur film makers.

Then it's a good thing that the folks responsible for the former are not also responsible for the latter, isn't it?

Moreover, the challenges of working in an interactive medium are rather different than the challenges of working in a static medium such as film, and while some techniques may transfer from one medium to the other, there are others that are unique to either film or video games. So to suggest that they're easily swapped, with one getting the same fulfilment in either area isn't really accurate.

But hey! Opinions.

Just one question, John Epler. Why do you like dismissing opinions that aren't favorable to the game? Your one post in this thread was good until you ended with "But hey! Opinions." That gives the impression that you don't find opinions valid unless they are pandering.

Alternatively, it was 'But hey! opinions' because I realize everyone has their own opinion and they're entitled to it.

Which is rather the opposite of what you're suggesting.
