One option shows the protagonist, Rook, staring themselves down in the mirror, saying: "Take a long hard look in it, kid. It'll always show the face of a hero who can get it done." If the player chooses the dialogue option "I'm getting there", it will establish the protagonist as a trans person and unlock more choices for future conversations.
EA chief executive Andrew Wilson predicted the success during an earnings call on Tuesday, saying the developer had "returned to its strengths", and adding: "BioWare has rallied around what made BioWare a fan-favourite studio and a fan-favourite brand." He praised the developer's "incredibly rich worlds, incredibly nuanced characters, really powerful and compelling stories with camaraderie and friendships and relationships, and decisions that matter in the context of game-play."
The fantasy role-playing game has quickly become a favourite, according to analytics on PC gaming platform Steam, and has also won praise over the fact it allows gamers to play as a transgender character.
BioWare's game director, Corinne Busche, thanked fans for the title's success, saying it was the "culmination of the team's love for the franchise."
