Just wonderd which approach you would sooner Bioware go with for DA:3?

A) Daring with lots of new ideas and elements designed to keep things fresh? Risky and could fall falt on it's face, but broader scope for experiment.

Or

Safe, eseentially DA:O but with a few tweaks here and there. Nothing that tries to be revolutionary, just something which gives us what we know and love.

I know it'll probably be a combination of both, but just wondered which you'd sooner see Bioware lean towards.

Are you desperate for a fix of something you know, or are you bored and needing a fix of something fresh?

To toss in a hand grenade into this thread...

What type of game would you expect to get if I said we were playing it safe?

[Allan Schumacher]

That's fine. I was mostly just having fun because I think one could make an argument that making a game more in the mold of DAO or DA2 could be construed as a safe move

[Allan Schumacher]

I think that's a good point. The DA franchise has a bit more flexibility in that regard compared to the ME franchise though.

It's easier for us to have an Alistair or something show up as a nod to player import, and not require that the PC actually KNOW Alistair. Whereas with Shepard if he bumps into someone he met before, well, it becomes a bit more personal in that sense.

I think 'playing it safe' is a lack of innovation in a sequel. It seems to happen more often than not. You guys at BioWare haven't innovated since the original Mass Effect. You've all been playing it safe for close to five years now.

We didn't even try ONE new thing?

Yes, I can. All the evidence is in my favor. The most significant change they've made in the past five years has been the framed narrative featured in DA2.

Are you only considering things that you feel are novel when compared to the entire game industry?

I'm not entirely sure what you're qualifying as "significant."
