DA? No. In a new IP though, it'd be interesting. DA is very much a fantasy world, like ME is very much a hard sci-fi world. Steampunk DA would be difficult to do, and probably wouldn;t work. To echo Ellodwyn, though, I do loves me some Steampunk.

Not Dragon Age 2 related, so I am moving this to teh DA:O general discussion.

What is the problem of a Renaissance era adventure set in Theldas ? Some of you seem to believe that if DA setting isn't capable of anything beside sword and sorcery.

It's pretty easy to see that Theldas would be a very interesting place if you fast forward a few hundred years.

Like Arcanum?
I support Qunari wearing Top hats and monocles.

I'd want it to be it's own IP but the idea tantalizing.

Arcanum. So Great. I still listen to the soundtrack every once in a while. It was beautiful.

Not a Dragon Age spin-off.... but a new RPG game maybe. BioWare make fantastic RPGs. Look at Dragon Age, Mass Effect and KotOR

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

No. Just no.

[Hayllee]

Eh, I'll throw a no out there. But this is just because I'm stuck a traditional geek.

A steampunk based world is best suited for a new IP, not Dragon Age. I would take it further into the realm of science fiction. Elves mingling with Lizard Folk in a futuristic setting with techno music raging in the background could be interesting and weird.

What would romance and playing a female or gay/lesbian character be like in a world that is openly homophobic, thinks all women belong in the kitchen and repressive of all open expressions of sexuality?

It would be no different to how it is in Dragon Age: Origins already; existent, but not one that reflects "real life".
Not all women in DA:O were in the kitchen, seeing as there are female companions, "Ser" Catherine being the right-hand woman of Loghain, etc.

If you remember, only women can be Revered Mothers in the game.

While Bioware will introduce discrimination like prejudice, it wouldn't necessarily reflect reality, and they will put their own spin to it.

How would elves be treated, considering racism by the Victorian/Edwardian age is considered not only "scientific" but progressive?

No different to how they are treated in Dragon Age: Origins.

How would the dynamics of the game play out in an upstairs/downstairs world that filled with nationalism and potentially on the verge of class revolution?

How would people react to the blight in a world that is highly secularized?

More exotic cultures, weapons etc. If Thedas follows European colonialism, I'm sure Denerem would be filled with people from all over the empire.

Ah no comments for the above 3.

What do you think? If enough agree, maybe Bioware devs would give this some serious consideration.

No, I think Bioware would have more material if they stayed in the medieval setting where magic and dragons are possible.

I don't think Magic and Dragon is possible in any setting - they are just fantastic in a medieval settling as well, pretty much any setting.
FYI, quoting every line of a post and say no to it does the same thing as quoting the entire post and say no to it.

I'd be fine with this. Even without a new IP.



View it sort of like KOTOR. KOTOR takes place 4,000 years before the Star Wars films. If "Iron Age" or "Airship Age" or "Child Labor Age" was placed 500+ years after Dragon Age, both settings can exist in the same universe - with releases for both eras coming out - without problems.

This concept might make a good game, but it wouldn't be Dragon Age. I might be interested in it if it was an entirely different game, though. But only if it was in the style of DA:O and not DA2 (unvoiced, visible dialogue/no wheel). They're already moving too far from DA:O for my taste. Pushing it into this kind of concept would be much more drastic, and make it unrecognizable.

That is a poor comparison. Everyone knows that the Starwars universe time line is really screwed up. A difference of 1.000 years will not be visible and will not affect the "feel" of the universe. Jedi are still there, Sith are there, Space ships, etc. Nothing really changes except people dying.

Now a 4.000 years leap in a medieval setting will get you in Space Age: Origins.

Sure you could say that even after 4.000 years people still build stone castles, fight with swords and kill dragons and stuff, but, it is a little stretched.

So we'll just say Mass Effect is Space Age: Origins

Thedas is always going through change. 2000 years before DAO people were building giant Tevinter buildings and mages ruled the world. Any ways, I thought an industrialized DA might be neat to see how people have dealt with magic and the supernatural despite going through a great deal of technological progress. Are the 2 going to go along, or are they going to be in conflict, like in Arcanum? A blight would be a good angle to explore how they interacted, since it requires both brute force and and an understanding of the supernatural to stop, and probably needs both magic and technology to work together. Even if Thedas is drastically changed it probably needs to learn from the past (like religion, magic, supernatural etc) to stop the blight.

[jadearkburn]

I d have to agree not in da, but in a stand alone steampunk game where you can use guns magic and machines, maybe even swords dare I say it, that would be amazing if done well....what was the name of that series shadowrun maybe.

[Leoroc]

I would absolutely love a Bioware Steampunk game, it would probably become my favorite game of all time instantly. Not for Dragon Age though.

[caradoc2000]

Industrial Age: Origins?



You'd get a new origin: luddite.

[Monark360]

As Dragon Age is a "fantasy" game, most relatable to a far gone world of the past, and Mass Effect a "sci-fi" game in a (somewhat) distant future, I would gladly welcome a game that rides the middle rail. I don't believe either game would benefit from a dramatic change in time (and ME's canon would be completely ****ed.) A new IP that sort of merges the two elements -- the shooter aspects of ME with the magic and strategy of DA:O -- would be a breathe of fresh air in a time where "future-shooters" are the norm. I've actually been thinking about this for a long time, but in the Elder Scrolls setting. A 500 year leap would introduce new materials for armor, leading to new, more effective combat innovations. Magic, of course, would still be a threat, so it doesn't stray too far from the source.

[RoCkDoG]

maybe a bioware game set in some sort of steampunk world would be cool but i say no to a DA spin off, i love DA the way it is besides there is still so much more to see in the DA universe.

[MKDAWUSS]

Eventually, but I don't think the series is ready for it yet

[Legonian]

I'm a big fan of Steam Punk and I'm missing a good Steam Punk game, so anything bioware makes that is steam-related would be gold to me. Don't need to be called Dragon Age but the world of Dragon Age would be a good fit for this concept.
