Thank you!  www.nowgamer.com/news/1425587/dragon_age_3_bioware_hints_next_dragon_age_has_entered_production.html

Dragon Age 3, the oft-rumoured fantasy RPG sequel that still has yet to be formally revealed by BioWare, could well be in full production judging by an interview with Dragon Age franchise senior writer Jennifer Hepler.

"At the moment, we are at the end of pre-production and beginning of production, so I am bouncing between outlining new stories and starting to write dialogue for the larger plots that are already developed," she told the BioWare blog.

I think it's about time for a separate DA3 forum - anyone coming to DA2 late, and wanting to discuss DA2 will take one look at he list of threads here, and wonder if they've just come to a misslabled DA3 forum.


No game is going to get a forum until it's officially announced.

From my perspective, I'd say the majority of discussions about a potential DA3 occurring right now are actually discussions of DA2 anyhow. What else could they be? And we're primarily talking about the General Discussion forums... the other DA2 forums still seems to have plenty of regular DA2 conversation.

But then people could conclude it's been in development for 16 years and will be a fantastic game!

It hasn't had a really long pre-production because most staff were diverted to work on The Old Republic. That was Bioware's priority at the time.


Pardon? Where is this coming from?

I think I commented (on this exact same person) how I love to read up about what analysts things we're up to!

Oh, I see. I guess a hearsay rumor is better than a completely baseless one. Fair enough.

I'm only recently starting to follow securities trades and so forth myself, so I don't blame people for reading an analyst's supposition and thinking he may have some additional insight.

In my recent experiences though, I have come to the realization that many stock analysts are just making a guess that is supported by their own internal logic. The concern I have is that I think they can be a bit irresponsible at times, because people do factor in their comments when making investment decisions.  Though this gentleman's claims aren't too significant I suppose, but investors that see TOR as a beacon of light or as a sinking ship will probably make investement decisions based on his supposition.

I know in response to ME3, some people were hoping that driving the stock price down would put EA in a financial crunch, but in reality that isn't the case. The only people affected by a downward push in stocks are those that happen to own EA stock (the vast majority of which don't run the day to day affairs as it's a part of mutual fund investments and so forth. I think Larry Probst III is the largest single shareholder and he owns like 0.25% of the stock). Over 90% of EA's stock is mutual fund type of investments.


Though I'm off on a tangent now. I guess what I mean to say is that most stock analysts are just making their suppositions based upon whatever internal logic they have going on. That a move holds up to logic, however, doesn't mean it's actually true. It's just him making a guess.

I love your writing and have played a few of your games with great amounts of interest as I see them fit for what I want from a deep, meaningful videogame experience. So please, let's not assume I am a rabid idiot trying to spread baseless rumours and cause riots on the forums.


I didn't assume. I asked. I'd never heard of this before, which is why having someone state it as a fact was surprising.

I can be plenty snarky when I choose, but I'm not employing it here. :)
