Three new movies of Biowares upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins…

BioWare co founder Greg Zeschuk has recently revealed in an interview that DLC for their upcoming title Dragon Age: Origins is already being worked on. The game itself doesnt release until October 10th. He also said that BioWare is working on a way of getting user mods made for the PC version working on the console versions interestingly.

We’ve a lot of DLC plans. There’s a slight difference on PC and console, because on PC we provide full user tools that let you modify and create your own levels and stories. On the console side, it’s obviously not really feasible for us to provide the toolset. But we are actually looking at ways to potentially share the content created on the PC on consoles. There aren’t really any huge technical hurdles to that. We are creating a lot of downloadable content that’ll be on offer shortly after release. We already have a team working on it, because the core content of the game is pretty much done and full expansions packs are a possibility down the road.
