Dragon Age boss says a Legendary Edition-style remaster of the old games in the series is unlikely because there's 'maybe 20 people left at BioWare' who know how their engine works

Dragon Age: Origins and DA2 were built on the proprietary Eclipse engine, which hasn't been touched in over a decade.
If you've played all of DA vs all of Mass Effect it's pretty clear that it's just not comparable. The games are so radically different from each stage, packaging them together just wouldn't work well. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for a legendary edition, but I would rather their teams keep working on ME:5 vs trying to get DA:O remastered. At this point, it'd honestly probably be easier just to rewrite the whole damn thing. Now that's something the modding community could take up...
To be fair, DA:O still holds up pretty well and doesn't really need a remaster.
Every time I try to do full series playthrough I'm very engaged with DA:O, it's an amazing game. I quite enjoy DA2, I get the critics, game was clearly rushed, but storytelling wise it was amazing, I love that you're just someone who just wanted to live their life, and was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
And then I launch DA:I, play for 30 minutes, weep, and quit. Story might be amazing, but gameplay is just miserable. I don't know why they tried to make offline mmo out of it.I'd certainly appreciate it if the PC version had controller support.
Far too much change in style/focus between cycles.
BioWare? What's that? It's all EA now.
