The biggest problem, to me, with the Dragon age IP; is that it's called "Dragon age"

Why? Becouse it kind of limits the game, you need to be in the dragon age timeline in the dragon age IP Becouse.. Well it's called Dragon age.

Can't go to the next age, and still call it dragon age, becouse it's not.

And this kind of frustrates me :P

I think that's the biggest problem, this also bothers me in Anime series as well, like Naruto, you know that guy cant die or anything, becouse the show is named after the guy.

Anyway, figured I'd just mention it, It would be great if a Bioware person could come in and say that they'd just call it "Diablo Age" or whatever if they pass on the next age, but still being in the same universe.

If you guys know what im talking about here, im horrible at explaining things. ^^; 

To sum it up. Calling the game "Dragon Age" instead of "Thedas" limits the game to be spent inside the dragon age, instead of any time, anywhere(Granted you can still go anywhere now, within the dragon age), within Thedas.

Not sure if anyone have thought about it. These are those silly concerns I think about :blush:

To be fair, the only -really- safe thing we could have called it is "Fantasy Game," and that doesn't really jump off the shelves, you know?



I wouldn't worry, though, we've got a lot of age, and a lot of Dragon left in us. We have plans, you see. Deep, diabolical plans for the future. Oh yes.

I still vote for 'There Might Be Mages'.

Historically, though, big events do tend to happen in clusters. World War I, the Depression and World War II didn't all occur within a span of 30 years through coincidence. They're interconnected in a pretty significant way.

Compelling stuff.

There Might Be Mages III: There Could Be Conjurers!
There Might Be Mages IV: Perhaps There's Prestidigitators!
There Might Be Mages V: Suppose There Are Sorcerers?
There Might Be Mages VI: Wherefore Are There Wizards?

Really, though, Baldur's Gate wasn't limited to the city of Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter nights wasn't limited to just the city of Neverwinter. the Jade Empire was big enough to accommodate a variety of plots, and the Old Republic has had two games full of Knights thereof, comic book series, and an upcoming MMO to play with.

don't let the finiteness of the tern fool you. There's 100 years and an entire world of stories to explore.
