does it really matter?

Well, clearly -- to me -- it does. Why even ask? You don't care? Awesome sauce. Good for you 'n all that rot. I still do. *shrug*

but it's about name recognition. if the stop using the name dragon age they risk losing sales, which does not help the long term future of the product either -snip-

Which is why I said the problem with Dragon age, is the name   If it was named something diffrent, this woudnt have been an issue. Obviously this thread is just semi-serious, it's not like I want bioware to swap names or anything now, it's just, frustrating for me to see it be so restricted in that age. I know you can make alot of stories in those 100 years, but having so many big things to happend in those 100 years is just.. It dosnt fly well with me.

I like things to span a long time  

The witcher, for example, is stuck with Witchers, another limit with the name.  But it can take place in any time though since it's not named after a time(Like Dragon Age is)

I'm not sure why people seem to think it's okay to name Dragon age with a subtitle with a diffrent age.

It soudns wrong like "Dragon age: Dark age; It's not the dragon age anymore, it's the dark age, but we call it dragon age anyways, yay"

it comes across as nitpicking. they are not restricted to just the dragon age. they can do whatever they want. it's just a name. it's not a big deal. subtitle is just an idea. they don't HAVE to. can't they just simply call it Dragon Age 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc?

[mr_luga]

Yeah it's nitpicking obviously, but I wanted to bring it up anyway, becouse I know I'll have an issue(Though not enough to stop me from playing the game) when the game gets called Dragon age, yet it isnt even in that age anymore in the game

[Koffeegirl]

I would so buy "There Might Be Mages"

[mr_luga]

Oh well. Here's hoping the PR department is able to conjur some epic magic to make this work even if it passes by the Dragon age. Becouse god knows I'd get tired of being stuck in the same 100 years for several games to come (I hope several games to come.. Dragon age is badass... Atleast the first one. Heh)

Well it's not like the IP has to keep using the label "Dragon Age." If they want to move on to a new age, they can just use the name of that age instead, or another name entirely... the only thing they have to do is stay within the same setting, the same world (..or do they? As someone suggested previously on these boards: Darkspawn in Space! Yeah!).

Awesome, your pic is Lupus from Jet Force Gemini, now that's a blast from the past!

[Biserthebomb]

I think that 'Game' or 'Fantasy Game' is a truly memorable title that would tempt everyone who sees it to look at the back and if the back has some cool words on it I think it could be a best-seller.

Yeah well you and I both are fine and would like that, im guessing EA and the PR people do not, since they like to ride on the name and it's success.

Which again, is why I say the biggest problem with Dragon age, is it's name

I don't know if anyone's mentioned anything like Elder Scrolls, or Zelda, but there are plenty of artifact titles that don't apply always. Once the IP is established and popular, people buy it for its reputation, not the accuracy of a title they've never played.

I still vote for 'There Might Be Mages'.

There Might Be Mages II: No, Seriously This Time, There Might Be!

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.

I love you guys so freaking much.

lol I just want to play a game, it's a GAME what age it takes place in really means nothing if it's a well written fun game

Thedas is a big place, and a hundred years is a long time. In Europe, the first decade of the 19th century was dominated by the Napoleonic Wars, but in that time, there was also a rebellion in China, a war between Russia and Turkey, a war between the United States and the Barbary States, the Haitian Revolution, the Acts of Union between Great Britain and Ireland, the creation of the first steamboats and locomotives, and Beethoven's first symphonies. And that was all in just ten years.

To put it in a fantasy-related context, many of the major storylines set in the Forgotten Realms have, so far, mostly occurred within the same century--the 1300s DR (Dale Reckoning). And there's a lot of stuff out there.

The events of DAO took, what, roughly one year? Don't worry. There's
plenty of room for all kinds of adventures.

[The Hardest Thing In The World]

Duhh.



In BG2, we never even set foot in Baldur's Gate, now THAT's a real problem.

[wikkedjoker]

OR its just brand name recognition. . . Look at Halo Reach. . . It has nothing to do with Halo's. . . or better yet Halo Wars . . . nothing to do with Halo's.

Its just the brand name.

 

[mr_luga]

Yeah well im sorry that im not okay with things just becouse everyone else does it Shoudnt be satisfied with "Okay" becouse everyone else does it, if you can do something diffrent, and get "Excellent"



That's my way of thinking anyhow

Well, once BioWare finally wrings out every story they can fit into the Dragon Age, the new games will probably have a title like Tales of Thedas (If they are even made that is). Although I would most certainly buy a game titled There Might Be Mages!
