In a recent interview with Polygamia, Bioware co-founder Greg Zeschuk spoke about some of the ways players can expect to extend their experiences with the developer’s upcoming fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins.
One of the snazzier terms Zeschuk tossed out was “single-player online game,” which he used to describe how players can directly contribute to the game’s world, story and scope.
“We give them user tools. People can create levels and stories, and share with each other, and you can search them right within the game. On top of that, we’re doing a lot of post-release content. Lots of extra stories in the Dragon Age universe; many of them part of the game world, some of them additional. So a lot of ways you can actually add to and change the game over time.”
Zeschuk also spoke briefly about how Bioware is bridging the content gap between the console and PC versions of the game.
“You’re not going to be able to use user creation tools on the consoles, but we’re going to work with the first-parties to take the best, and figure out how we can get those onto the consoles…We’ve got to figure it out, but that’s one of our goals definitely to try and achieve.”
So between the massive amounts of content right out of the box, DLC and community features, it seems players will not be wanting for epic, personally tailored, and robust experiences when Dragon Age ships this October.
What aspect of Dragon Age: Origins has impressed you the most so far? How many people are planning to buy it for PC specifically for the user creation tools?

Ah, it looks like the PC version is a go for me. This DLC will sure to have a TORRENTial downpour of downloads on the net.

i am so wanting to buy and play dragon age but i'm somewhat skeptical to take bioware for their word. i'm sure the pc edition will have an editor tool. as for the console dl content it brings me back to when they said mass effect would have alot of downloadable content when in fact it was just a measly mission/chapter. bring down the sky.

The PC version would probably be better; but I'm sick of upgrading all the time and in this economy I can't afford it anymore.

The idea of cleaning up and bringing user created mods from the pc version to the console version would be a dream come true. Can you imagine being a home enthusiast and having your mod essentially get Bioware's 'blessing' to be distributed? That's just a really neat thought.

@EntropyMu - I don't mind them talking about DLC a month or three before release because it means they've finished the main story and enough of the game that it's truly ready for release with just polishing and tweaking. Then, they're so excited about the game that they're releasing that they already have some new ideas they're pursuing that couldn't make it into the package and be fully tested without delaying the game. At this point in development most of the main programmers would be done with the project and moving on anyway, wouldn't they? So to me it just shows commitment and excitement.

I am preordering it for my PS3, just make the DLC available for ALL platforms that the game is on.

Yup. almost like your only getting half the game. the other half? 50$$$$ i feel like im getting ripped off with every new game.

Does anyone else get a sinking feeling every time a developer talks about all the amazing DLC they will be releasing BEFORE the game is even gold? It just feels to me that if you've got time to be making content before the game is made, that content could be included in the original game.

I'm most impressed that they're including a cloth map in the collector's edition.
Also, their commitment to interesting NPCs is something that's been sorely lacking in PC rpg's for years. Bioware are the only ones who seem to get it right (Minsc, HK-47, Wrex, ...)
I'm getting it for the PC simply because I don't trust my Xbox to stay alive for the duration of the game (it's getting repaired right now).

I'm getting it for my 360 because my PC is old and I'm not currently in the market for a new one. That being said, I hope they can work something out and bring the better batches of user content to the consoles.
