    Bioware is largely past her prime. I rue that she did not seek to renew a license to use Star Wars RPG rules and so cannot use RPG structures they used in prior Star Wars games.

    They did not seek to replace these structures with those found in Dragon Age Origins, which would have been acceptable.

    This game is a MMOFPS with squad-based tactics and mild story-game elements. It is not an MMORPG.

    They'd better take their time on this one. I don't want this game turning to $hit like The Force Unleashed.

    @TheReaper180: how can anyone make a game and not play it all the time?

    @TheDarkDestroyr: I'm pretty sure they'll charge do you expect it to be free. I highly doubt it as sad as that makes me.

    @gawthy: The reason they haven't made a BG game is because they no longer have control of the rights to make ANYTHING that is within the BG universe.

    @Caml10:

    You wouldn't believe how many developers say that about the game they are making.

    Didn't Atari or someone make a failed forehead-motion-sensing peripheral way back? It was called a mind reader or something to that effect...

    Aside from that: "I can't tell you, except for that we get to play it all the time." Man I love those guys.

    I'll second Malscyllis' comment. Great interview, good questions. Dr. Greg Zeschuk seems really personable, humble, and knowlegeable. I know I cannot wait for Mass Effect 2, and i am enjoying the hell outta Dragon Age: Origings. Only thing: Is there anyone out there playing a Bioware game and thinking, "Man, this game blows without motion sensing."?

    Gamespot, tell Bioware i love them
