I admit I'm a pretty big steampunk fan. I'm also building a weird heavily armored arcane warrior with a penchant for ranged weaponry. Currently, I'm using a crossbow (it does more autoattack damage than my staff) and I was wondering if, at some point, I could maybe find a gun? I'm not sure how far along, technologically, Ferelden is, but the Qunari are said to have cannons (according to the wiki, anyway) and the Tevinter is described as being rather "magitek" so I was wondering if there could be some, possibly hidden, rifle or blunderbuss in the game?

Ferelden doesn't appear to have access to any gunpowder. No guns, cannons or fireworks.



I'd imagine that it would likely be due to the abundance of mages as they are heavily controlled by the people in power.

Steampunk, Dragon Age is not... sorry. I love steampunk myself as well; my favourite type of fantasy if done correctly. DA is more along the lines of middle-high fantasy, like lord of the rings but with more magic.

This is not the troll thread I was expecting from the title. I congratulate you, OP.



But no, to the best of my knowledge.

Guns don't necessitate steampunk. I mean, gunpowder factored into medieval warfare for a very long time. In fact, plate armor was created pretty much to be the only stuff that could stop guns, so it always strikes me as weird that you can get a full suit of plate armor but no rifles to shoot at it.





Poo, though, I was really looking forward to shooting people in the face while casting AOE lightning spells and wearing massive armor.

lol the mages in Baldurs Gate series would like to have a word with you about wearing armour and casting lightning spells. xD

there are tons of guns in this game.



Morrigan's are probably the most readily available though, i mean, she just wears lil purple cloth over hers, i'm sure a breeze would let em out.

Hey, you can always look forward to a gun mod, then.

My computer's crap. I openly admit to playing on the Xbox. Psh. No blunderbuss for me.

Well Red Cliff did have a stashe of oil and Ozamarr invented a low toxic coal mining process so...there is actually some form of technology.

Actually, plate was created to defeat swords and arrows; the ancient Greeks and Romans used plate armor, but it fell out of use because of it's high cost.  They kinda pre-dated firearms by quite some time.  Firearms came around to defeat plate armor in the 15th century or so.  As firearms became more powerful, armor usage dropped quite a bit until people stopped wearing it almost altogether (the only body armor used in WWI and WWII was the helmet), at least until the 1970's when a pizza delivery  man came up with the great idea for kevlar body armor.  But even today, most modern warriors (ie. Police officers) only wear a soft armor 'chestplate'; full body hard armor only being worn for special incidents or by the Military.

classical plate and medieval plate are entirely different. Yes, people have been using plate armor since big pieces of metal have existed, but it was not full-body. classical Mediterranean plate armor was usually restricted to a chestpiece, whereas full body suits of armor with moving parts didn't show up until at least the time of Charlemagne.

ehh the rifle was actually developed in the late 18th century and only became widespread in the 19th one.. 

[MisanthropePrime]

Well, yeah, if you take "rifle" to mean "rifled barrel" which... makes sense, but I was just referring to long barelled guns with stocks in general (as opposed to, say, handguns like pistols or carabiners).

[LethalBlade]

Thankfully no. I can't stand steampunk. I like traditional medieval fantasy worlds. Swords and sorcery only, please.

How does having a gun make a game any less fantastic?

Same reason putting a dragon into a ww2 story wouldnt work.
