Dragon Age Producer: Expansion Strategy Driven By Fans

Later this month, BioWare will release Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening, a full-scale expansion pack for last year's already-massive original fantasy roleplaying game.

And unlike most post-release content these days, which is frequently sold in small downloadable chunks, Awakening is a $40 retail package, with SKUs for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 as well as a PC downloadable version.

Gamasutra caught up with online producer Fernando Melo to discuss the thinking behind selling Awakening as such a significant expansion. He explained that, while the actual content within the add-on has been in the works since before Origins was released, the delivery method took longer to determine -- and fan feedback contributed heavily to the final decision.
