Failbetter Studios has announced that it is working in conjunction with Bioware for a text-based adventure game that will bridge the time gap between the end of Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

There have been legitimate questions about how feasible it would be to add that sort of thing in an already ambitious project, and many have concerns that the attempt might come off feeling cheap or slapped in. We’ve all seen those games where something was just forced in for the extra bullet on the box.
Blizzcon isn’t until next weekend, but Blizzard is laying the groundwork for the epic championship battles for Starcraft II, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone players.
