The games of our lives, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>For me, one of those all-timers was Dragon Age: Origins. It was a fantasy RPG of such immense game-changing scope and class that PC Gamer described it as &#8220;mythical&#8221; in its 2009 review, calling it the &#8220;RPG of the decade&#8221; and awarding it one of the highest scores we&apos;ve ever doled out, a hot as dragon&apos;s breath 94%.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"PGgKFCebJEy5t49XkC7bKT\" name=\"Dragon Age Origins Screenshot 2024.06.01 - 13.55.23.49.png\" alt=\"Dragon Age characters\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/why-im-worried-about-dragon-age-dreadwolf-and-the-tiamat-sized-rpg-baldurs-gate-3-looming-over-it-is-just-the-start-1.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Leliana is a class act.

Dragon Age 2? It scored well (in my opinion PC Gamer&apos;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/dragon-age-2-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dragon Age 2 review<\/a> was waaaay too high), but the scope was <em>far <\/em>reduced and it was hard to say it did anything better than Origins maybe other than in the more engaging, dramatic nature of its combat animations.

While there was no doubt that Dragon Age as a series had never looked better, or had more of a cinematic feel, its lower review score of 87%, along with &#8220;persistent flaws&#8221; and, at least to my tastes, zeitgeisty at the time but now badly dated MMO gameplay elements, meant that while this was no-doubt a great fantasy RPG, it still fell shy of the landmark nature of the original. I&apos;ve never actually replayed Inquistion to its conclusion after my initial playthrough, and I think that&apos;s telling.<\/p>\n<p>And then, nothing. For almost a decade, the epic world and lore of Thedas, as well as its cast of memorable characters, have very firmly not been venturing forth in a fourth Dragon Age game. And the depressing tale of that absence has been fantastically <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/the-past-and-present-of-dragon-age-4-1833913351\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported on<\/a> previously by authoritative gaming industry journalist Jason Schreier.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1600px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"tqHimdDBFdCdoXbuQW6raU\" name=\"Untitled-1-Recovered-Recovered_KnaYZo4.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon Age Dreadwolf antogonist, Solas the elf, with a huge wolf walking next to him through smoke\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/why-im-worried-about-dragon-age-dreadwolf-and-the-tiamat-sized-rpg-baldurs-gate-3-looming-over-it-is-just-the-start-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Solas appears to be the primary antagonist in Dragon Age Dreadwolf. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: BioWare\/EA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But now here we are. It&apos;s summer 2024, and with Dragon Age: Dreadwolf finally supposed to be getting a reveal, there&apos;s already a huge Tiamat-sized dragon in the room, and that dragon is Baldur&apos;s Gate 3, the 97% scoring fantasy RPG masterpiece that, with apologies to Shakespeare, seems to loom over Dreadwolf like a Fade spectre at the feast. Honestly, how is Dreadwolf going to measure up to this titan? I don&apos;t know how worried BioWare and EA are about that, but as a huge fan of Dragon Age, I sure am. Dreadwolf now doesn&apos;t just have to stand up to other great fantasy RPGs, but against PC Gamer&apos;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/baldurs-gate-3-is-pc-gamers-highest-scoring-game-in-16-years-heres-why\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highest scoring game of all time<\/a>, one that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/after-winning-every-major-game-of-the-year-award-in-2023-baldurs-gate-3-is-now-cleaning-up-in-2024-too\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has swept the board<\/a> in terms of every video game award going, and one that is, by all benchmarks of quality, one of the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/by-tymora-its-time-we-recognised-baldurs-gate-3-is-one-of-the-greatest-video-game-events-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">greatest videogames events ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But it&apos;s not just the now inevitable comparison to Baldur&apos;s Gate 3 that has me most worried about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, nor its reportedly troubled development history\u2014it&apos;s that it could very well be a deflating send-off for a series that started with such immense promise and that, in my mind, has never fully had that promise brought to fruition.

How related to the Dreadwolf project these lay-offs were is unknown, but following Schreier&apos;s reporting of years of turbulence on the Dragon Age 4 project, it&apos;s left a sense in my mind that all has not been well in the state of Thedas during development and concern for the final form it will take well-founded.<\/p>\n<p>But I won&apos;t walk away from the series. Dragon Age is one of the defining videogaming events of my life, and while there&apos;s a hint of its original magic and promises still left, I&apos;ll be keeping the faith in the series and playing its long-awaited next installment.
