Bioware by fans at events conference Prime PAX 2011, revealed plans for a game Dragon Age III is coming. Creative Director Mike Laidlaw, Executive producer Mark Darrah, Art Director Matt Goldman & Writer David Gaider Bioware represented at the event. to provide a view & plan on the future of Bioware Dragon Age III.
They confirmed that the world would be at all-out war during Dragon Age III, with the Templar and Mages now battling for control after so many years at each others' throats. In a move that sounds a little Mass Effect 3, the player is going to be traveling far and wide to make allies and try to bring peace to the world. When showing maps comparing the worlds of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II, the team noted that Dragon Age II's world was significantly smaller. A larger map several times the size of Dragon Age: Origin's was shown, and indicated to as a future direction for the series.
The team said that while the Dragon Age world is Tolkien-inspired the team hopes that it can differentiate itself now it is established and become a standard for fantasy worlds in general. Similarities to Tolkien were deliberate and won't be wiped away, though. The team also confirmed an MMO is not part of their plans for series expansion.
The team also spoke a little on combat, saying that they are tweaking with Dragon Age II's combat for the DLC for the game to try to figure out where to go with Dragon Age III. The DLC will feature some of that new focus, which is on trying to make planning and positioning of where characters are on the battlefield more important.
Another big focus will be on the party you venture into battle with - Bioware wants you to be aware of and make use of the strengths and weaknesses of your party members in Dragon Age III. One way this will be achieved is by having party bonus buffs for having certain characters with you that will encourage you to fight in certain ways when they're with you.
In terms of customization of your party, a sticking point in Dragon Age II for a lot of fans, Bioware is listening. They're shooting for a middle ground between the first two games, offering changing sets of equipment for party members which will change their appearance whilst also keeping 'iconic' looks.
