Dragon Age: Origins data can be shared across platforms in Dragon Age 2

BioWare recently revealed Dragon Age 2 to the world. In Dragon Age II, you play as a character named Hawke. Hawke is known as the Champion of Kirkwall who somehow survived the destruction of the town of Lothering. Lothering was one of the first places you discover in Dragon Age: Origins. Hawke’s story does not act as a continuation of Origins, but acts as a separate adventure within the same world. But choices you make in Origins will reflect in Dragon Age 2 much like Mass Effect did for its sequel.

In the latest issue of Game Informer, it was revealed how our actions in Origins will affect Dragon Age 2. When you start Dragon Age II, it will automatically read your saved data from Origins. This helps the game determine important facts such as who is the leader of Ferelden and who killed the archdemon and stopped the Blight. What’s more interesting is how BioWare will import Origins data across all platforms.

Mark Darrah, executive director on Dragon Age II explained BioWare’s plan.

“We’re not getting into specific details, but the goal will be to make it so that even if you played the first game on the PC and the second game on console, we’d be able to react to your choices,”Darrah said. “Now we’ll see what Microsoft and Sony have to say about that.”

You don’t have anything to worry about if you don’t have saved data from Origins. The story in Dragon Age 2 stands on its own and will not require great amounts of the game’s lore to understand what’s going on in the world.
