Dragon Age: Dreadwolf förändrar det karaktärssystem som vi känner till från tidigare delar i serien, och innebär ett nytt sätt att närma levlandet. Tydligen kommer varje Skill Point som placeras i spelets Skill Tree ge tillgång till effekter som du kan känna direkt istället för att ha procentuella uppgraderingar av vissa förmågor.
Bioware har berättat mer om detta i ett nytt blogginlägg som fokuserar specifikt på just karaktärsutvecklingen i Dreadwolf:
"Whenever we're envisioning something new, we're always presented with a Problem Statement we're trying to solve. Sometimes, especially for larger systems, they are very high-level, such as "The Player needs meaningful choices as they progress through the game," or "The Player needs to feel more powerful as they progress through the game." Together, these combine into a variety of different ideas as there are many ways to solve those problems, so it helps as a general rule to start introducing constraints and Player Statements to narrow things down. A Player Statement might be something like, "As a Player, I want my choices to matter." Through the use of working sessions and brainstorming meetings, we narrow down what type of solution we want to pursue and then move on to doing competitive analysis. In this case, we made a vision board with pictures of skill trees, talents, etc. with a list of pros and cons. We also counted how many unique nodes existed and how far the player could realistically invest."
Senare i år väntas gameplay visas för första gången, något att se fram emot.
