BioWare - Muzyka Discusses Mass Effect, Dragon Age @ IGN

IGN caught up with Dr. Ray Muzyka of Bioware at the EA Spring Break event in San Francisco, California recently and took the opportunity to ask him a few questions on Mass Effect, Dragon Age and PC gaming in general. Here's an except from the Dragon Age coverage:

"Dragon Age has been in development for a while," said Muzyka. "Part of that is BioWare's attention to quality and detail and making this rich universe that you want to be part of. Dragon Age is in BioWare's sweet spot; it's the ultimate fantasy-adventure. It's going to appeal to the fans of Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights and it's sort of the next generation of that…We haven't talked about it recently because we're just building up to something hopefully in the near future…I was just playing it last week and it's pretty damn cool."

And that's pretty much all that's being said on the subject for now...

On their PC market base:

Finally, what does Dr. Ray Muzyka think of the current PC market? "I think the PC market right now is a very strong place. It's stronger than it's ever been. The business models have changed, consumer tastes have changed, the way people pay for content, microtransactions, downloadable content, online services, in-game ads, these are all kinds of different flavors…You know at the end of the day it all comes down to can you make a really great game really fun for your fans? And if you can do that and you understand who your fans really are, I think it's an incredibly great opportunity to develop for PC."
