Ex Dragon Age boss says Bioware pitched a remaster, but couldn't get EA funding

Back before the mighty Baldur’s Gate 3 took over the world, it was Dragon Age: Origins that really opened my heart to the old-school fantasy RPG. Set against the much more modern-feeling Mass Effect, Bioware very deliberately built something that appealed to the classic CRPG crowd. While every entry in the series has its fans, DAO is still my personal favorite, and I’d love to see it make a comeback. Unfortunately, Bioware legend Mark Darrah (who worked as executive producer on the first three Dragon Age games) claims that, while such an idea was pitched by the studio, publisher EA wasn’t willing to provide the funding needed to make it happen.
