Dragon Age II was not received in a way that BioWare would have entirely liked. However, BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka wants fans to rest assured that the developer is taking criticism to heart when it comes to future offerings in the franchise.

“I think the team has actually got a great plan,” said Muzyka, adding, “we’ve not announced Dragon Age 3 formally or anything. I think the team are going to have some things that will surprise and delight both set of fans – our core fans and our new fans – with a marriage, best of breed from both games, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. We’ll look forward to talking more about that.”

“One of our core values at BioWare is humility and that means we take feedback really seriously,” he said. “We know that the core fans who were expecting more Dragon Age: Origins [from the sequel] – we have to listen to them. We have to respond to that. We’re not going to ignore it. We’re going to take that head-on. But we also have an obligation to our new fans, the ones who we surprised and delighted with some new approaches, accessibility and intense action combat. What we need to do as a developer is take the feedback from both sets of fans to heart and see about marrying that in the future games in the Dragon Age franchise.”
