Dragon Age: Origins Interview

Dragon Age: Origins executive produce Mark Darrah answers questions about the game’s delay, the newly announced Stone Prisoner DLC, and more in a new interview on GameSpot.

GS: The Stone Prisoner sounds like it’s going to be a pretty substantial add-on since you’re selling it separately for 15 bucks. How big is it going to be?

MD: Well, it’s huge. It introduces a whole new character, and this is a character that’s as complicated and well fleshed out as any other character in the main game. You’re also getting full voice-over and plots and things like that. The Stone Prisoner is going to be offered for free for anyone who purchases any new copy of Dragon Age, collector’s edition or not.

GS: So how many hours of playtime does the Stone Prisoner add?

MD: It’s kind of hard to quantify that. The way that the character works in Dragon Age is they’re along in your party, they’re interjecting throughout the game, they’re talking with other characters in your party, they’re commenting on areas as you visit them. So, in one way, it’s 60 hours or 70 hours of content because if you put this character in your party right away, it’s going to enrich it and affect your experience throughout the entire game.

GS: And in terms of it being sold separately, it will be DLC on all three platforms.

MD: Correct.

I asked some of these same questions of Mr. Darrah last week. Too bad I can’t post my interview yet :P.
