According to BioWare veteran David Gaider, Dragon Age and Mass Effect publisher EA had a preference for the latter series right from the get-go.
Gaider, who worked as the lead Dragon Age writer and setting creator on every game in the RPG series aside from The Veilguard, reveals as much in a recent post online, replying to a follower as part of a thread in which he shares why he left BioWare in 2016 after nearly two decades at the company. "While I was at BioWare, EA *always* preferred Mass Effect, straight up Their Marketing team liked it more," claims Gaider.
