I'm looking for exceptional environment artists to join me at #BioWare Edmonton, Canada to work on #DragonAge3 #gamejobs #jobs #3D #artists
This is great news for everyone who enjoys the Dragon Age games, because it means that a third installment of the RPG is on its way. Since Dragon Age II was released a little over a year after Dragon Age: Origins, you can most likely expect to see Dragon Age III released late 2012 or early 2013.

Which means again only human.
The game is already in development for two years.
(Origins was made is five)
Release date is the end of 2013.
Not much new details here, but at least the game is a certainty.
As it stands today, the Bioware reputation has crumbled like a house of cards, so the name is no longer a sure bet for games that are topnotch quality.
It always felt as if Bioware wanted to create games they themselves would enjoy playing.
While I think DAII was enjoyable, it can never come close to DAO. I feel as if DAO was Bioware's death-rattle; the final game that still had some of its Bioware magic.
The DAII experience is easily forgotten when the game is at its end; it does not offer much in replay value -for me anyway. Plus the Rogue class got seriously nerfed. I enjoyed trapmaking and using traps in DAO and I sorely miss it.
DAII also lacks memorable characters -even Bodahn cannot live up to his previous performance in DAO. The brief cameo's by Alistair, Teagan, Flemeth, only rub more salt into the wounds. Although with Flemeth I did smile when she used the exact same line Morrigan used when she first encountered the Warden in DAO (Well, well, what have we here?).
I can understand why they cut the choice of race from DAII -they fully voiced Hawke's dialogue and that would be quite the feat to voice an Elven and Dwarven Hawke as well. Not to mention the increase in size of the game. But storywise DAII seems to drift a lot, whereas DAO was very story driven; you knew what you were steering towards to: the final confrontation between the wardens and the Archdemon. In short -in my opinioon- DAO was far more satysfying and memorable than its sequel. So I basically dread what DAIII will look like. I might pick up a copy when its hits the bargain bin, but I doubt it will be worth paying top dollar for it.
Let's wait and see.
yeah I agree, dragan age II was not nearly as enjoyable as the first Origins. it doesn't even feel like an RPG anymore, just feels like another action game.why is it with all of these new games coming out do they add new stuff to the game, and take out all of the old stuff that everybody likes? it just doesn't make sense.
Plus I don't mind waiting for a good game! They should at least take a few years to put a lot of love and detail into it. It's not like us gamers are going to lose interest; I've been waiting years for Skyrim!
Like Blizzard, they should take time nurturing their games not feed it steroids. Would be best to launch it in a less busy time period. Look at the upcoming titles; TES5- skyrim / Diablo 3 / Bioshock Infinity / New MMO - SWTOR / Batman gotham city / Mass Effect 3 / Deus ex etc etc etc ... Releasing it amongst those would be a bad idea, me thinks.
DA2 is the nice one not so perfect as DA:O is but I like it very much. I hope Bioware will present something special to us)))
