BioWare: Why 'Dragon Age' Isn't A Trilogy

BioWare announced Mass Effect as a sci-fi trilogy, but the studio made no such declarations with Dragon Age, a return to their PC-based Baldur's Gate roots, a conscious decision by the Dragon Age team, the game's exec. producer told MTV Multiplayer last week.

Mass Effect will be at least three games. Dragon Age does not have to be.

Just a few years ago, trilogies were all the rage. BioWare jumped into the fray with Mass Effect, released in 2006, and since it's looking like gamers will be hearing about Mass Effect 2 soon, that trilogy looks likely to see a conclusion.

Last April, Stephen asked BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka to explain why they determined Mass Effect needed to become a trilogy.

Trilogies have not become a requirement at BioWare. Dragon Age: Origins, their long announced return to the studio's classic Baldur's Gate roots, does not have a story arc that spans a specific number of games. (Dragon Age: Origins, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
