Lord Of The Rings uses gunpowder in it's world, in the movie it is only used once to blow up a small part hole at Helms Deep. However unlike World Of Warcraft it is something considered  almost "magic" than a technological feat that is rarely used. Will we ever be able to use gunpowder? Like them old guns the people in Empire: Total War fire that take 5 minutes to reload with the pooshy stick thing than rapid machine gun type shots?

SPOILER ALERT:



Actually, I read confirmation that Hawke can fly a fighter jet and that he takes it over orzammar and blows up the deep roads and traps all the Darkspawn inside, effectively ending any future blights. That is how he becomes hero of kirkwall.

Boom.



We already did. Almost. We called it "Lyrium Sand". But of course you mean Qunari Gunpowder.

Why do all of your posts start with "Lord of the Rings"?



Gunpowder already has a place--with the qunari. Only time will tell if they invade or not, and we see it in action.

yep the Qunari actually have cannons.



Personally I think as soon as explosives come in it sort of ruins everything.

Why have gunpowder which is dangerous and volatile when you can have a mage who is 10 times more powerful?

Gunpowder should be imported like the china giving weapons to the bad people in Darfur. This would be an excellent plot line raising the metacritic score as well as making the game reflect real world events through the medium of video game entertainment.

And why does a FANTASY game have to reflect real events?

To give it a deeper meaning, making us think.
Like them big tree ents in Lord Of The Rings, fighting against the industrial machine Saruman created

No, that's just you contorting it into a lame argument to be cynical.

Nothing wrong with noting Lord of the RIngs if it validates a point or compairson, which it has in every one of Rubbishes posts I've read on the subject.

Anyways, what do you mean already has the place with the Qunari? Why can't it be spread about to the other nations as well much as it did in real life. I mean hell I'd figure the Dwarfs would be working nonstop trying to create gunpowder to even out their inability to do magic.

Sure, single out China, when all the major countries export weapons to whoever is willing to pay. Bad people, indeed.

At least China invented Gunpowder!

My thoughts exactly. Still playing MTW2 - modded for no gunpowder :P - as I couldn't get into ETW. Gunpowder is definitely not for me.

Well maybe the materials needed for its production are only found in the lands cotrolled by the Qun and thats why the Dwarves havent got it.

Plus: I thought Qunari were isolated from the rest of the Thedas.

But how isolated can they be if they're constantly invading and warring with the Tevintars? Surely someone could eventually get their hands on it, I mean I'm surprised it hasn't already happened. And as for getting the needed materials, I mean if it's anything like the gunpowder in our universe it's not exactly all that complex to make nor are the materials anything less then common. Of course perhaps the Qunari have some super complex formula, who knows.
