You
got me thinking - wouldn't a spin-off series set in a dark Renaissance
be awesome ? It would be truly epic pitting the last blight against an
industrial Theldas. Ranks of darkspawn advancing under Gatling gun fire ?
Cannon armed golem battle ogres for the control of deep roads ? Fleets
of Airships struggle for the ultimate destiny of the Imperium ? It
cannot fail to be awesome. As for a name, I'd simply call it The Iron Age
think
of it - there hasn't been much dark fantasy treatment of the
renaissance/industrial age other then FMA ... And since machines are
immune to the taint, they would provide the ultimate solutions against
the darkspawns.
A lot of people have posted something similar, would you support such an idea? Other than pitting 19th/early 20th century technology against magic and dark spawn, several other thing would be interesting (assuming that the game is based on the real world), like:
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?
How would elves be treated, considering racism by the Victorian/Edwardian age is considered not only "scientific" but progressive?
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.
What do you think? If enough agree, maybe Bioware devs would give this some serious consideration.
