VG247 Blog Archive Dragon Age 2: “A lot of other choices” make up for single player race, says Dr Ray
You may only be able to play as a human in Dragon Age 2, but BioWare boss Ray Muzyka is convinced the RPG won’t leave you gasping for choice.

“I think we certainly make up for the fact there’s a little more contraint with the character choice with a lot of other choices,” said the exec, speaking to VG247 at gamescom earlier this month.
“And really, the focus allows a lot of the polish in there too.”
Dragon Age: Origins allowed the player to choice from three races at the start of the plot; humans, elves, dwarves were all available for play.
There’s been something of a kick-back against the “Mass Effect” style of Dragon Age 2’s construction, but Muzyka told us it was necessary to constrain the player in this way because of the game’s basic nature.
“It’s sort of the way the story’s told,” he said. “It’s a personal narrative. It’s a first-person narrative from the perspective of Hawke.”
