I would actually love an RPG set during World War 3, or during a war that will wipe out civilization.

I can see a game like that being kind of cool.

I personally despise, deSPISE this apocolyptic bullscat that's been skating through games for the last few years. I just don't like the setting, myself.


What I would love is a modern-day RPG, like someone mentioned Alpha Protocol. Maybe not necessarily a spy game, but a mystery game? Just in general.

The most attractive aspects of apocolyptic RPGs are to be able to kill every savage or mutant scum on the land who have spread blight and misery, and to bring order to that crappy chaotic world. :innocent:

You mean like the Megami Tensei or Persona series?

Are you basically thinking "The bombs drop, explosions go off, and game starts?"

At first I was thinking this sounded a bit like Fallout, although Fallout takes places years after the bombs have dropped (and has a decidedly dark humor perspective to it as well)

I actually had in mind a type of game where a good chunk of the game happens before the world goes sideways, just in dealing with the realities of an actual World War. In reality, we really have never had one, we've just had concurrent conflicts in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and the Asiatic coast. While America was involved both times, no fighting too place on their soil, nor were any of the Western Hemisphere countries. 

A game where the world is literally in the midst of ripping itself apart could be ripe with role playing and story-telling opportunities, as well as some unique action and set ups. Too often the hero saves the world, but what if the world can't be saved? And the only way to be a hero is to survive and help others survive - even if that makes you a villain?

As pointed out earlier, this is hard to do with a nuclear attack on a worldwide scale. Additionally, as you said, the comparisons to Fallout would be too numerous. But what if it wasn't a war in the conventional sense, but a worldwide crisis that just had everyone tear the world down by its foundations, either through famine/drought, economic collapse or some other event that didn't blight the entire world? If half the world's population is starving to death and then revolts, it wouldn't take long for world to look like a much different place and still not require centuries to pass for people to live on the surface like a nuclear war would. 

Just a suggestion. I'm not sure I've ever played a game that was a MID-Apocalyptic RPG.

Might just be the cynic in me, but I kind of feel that any large scale crisis like that would ultimately lead to some sort of large scale armed conflict, just out of desperation to secure resources.

Though I may have just watched Fallout's intro too many times.

Entirely possible. "The world ended pretty much how we expected it - too many people, not enough resources."

But I was thinking if it was less of a gradual exhausting of resources over the course of decades, it was instead a drastic, overnight cataysm that took everyone by surprise, and resulted in people starving, fighting and panicking worldwide, there would be no time for war to break out between countries. Especially if no one had any water/food worth invading for.

Think the Dust Bowl in the 1930's Depression, except across major part of the world, with the governments of the world struggling to keep its own populace from revolting (and failing horribly) instead of having time to wage war on countries just as starving and crazed as they were.

Victorian England/Horror/RPG.

Victorian England Horror RPG? That's almost like every hidden object game BigFish spews out every other week. No.

[Neoleviathan]

A game set as the bombs are falling would be interesting to see pulled off, that first episode of Jericho always unerves me. Ofcourse how do you have a protagonist? Do you have multiple protagonists, & just follow their individual stories until they meet their deaths? Go with a robot, or a soldier who's been given some kind of protection to radiation, or a random person who's inexplicably immune to the deadly effects. Theres allot to work with if you stay open.

As for the dust bowl or an event like it, would be cool to see. That storm on Mars in ME3 was an awesome sight. I have always held out hope Studio Ghibli & Miyazaki would somehow be drawn to making a film on the dustbowl, but it'd be a great setting for a game for sure.

True, BioWare should make another shooter game like MDK2.

That game is really a hidden gem; I mean the graphics, gameplay and creative ideas are all very interesting.

No. I just want another Silent Hill or the Project Zero games for sale in the Western markets.

It'll be a modern day war story and will be EA's answer to Activision's Black Ops 2.

EA already has that its called Battlefield and its made by Dice. 

No you see, that was to combat infinity ward's Modern Warfare series...

When Activision released Blops 2 and EA realised that they actually gave players choices...

Well, that was enough to task BioWare with making a better choices war game.

BO2 gave choices? lol!  you only need to do three simple things in the game to get the best ending and can ignore the rest.

[Foolsfolly]

Superheroes. I'd love to see BioWare tackle superheroes.

And crime. A gangster RPG. Or a spy RPG.

Get out of space and medieval fantasy and tackle things they haven't done yet. Maybe even abandon the whole team aspect with their games or shrink the size down of the team to like one or two companions.

Another Space-Action-RPG

[Neoleviathan]

  I wonder if Bioware has ever considered going with an RPG set in American History, or colonial era. Someone in my class mentioned being apart of those Civil War roleplaying groups, to my knoweledge there haven't been very many games that have done simmilar. Atleast not very many RPG's. And like with fantasy genra there is already some established fanfare there.
Maybe even something really heavy involved with slavery. I know that is a subject that most filmakers avoid, so I imagine any gamemaker's responce would be "Oh God No", but I think it as a story subject & setting it would be a strong one.

 hitchcock, a game heavily infleunced by him would be pretty fun. Maybe even a game about making a film.

 Also maybe something in "Cave Man" times, just becuase that would be a pretty awesome setting. Terror Birds, other Megafauna, different types of Human, landscapes, etc.

I already said this, but what about ancient Rome? Perhaps Late Empire, with a disillusioned Centurion from the external borders battlefields (Egypt?) having to fight against corruption and conspiracies to save what's left of his once great culture?

You can have great characters, one of the best historical settings ever, both RPG and ME-like mechanics and Cleopatra as a romanceable squadmate!

nah to most of the above suggestions. We know it won't be a spy game like Alpha Protocol because EA had Bioware drop a game like that in the past. I assume it will be an rpg. Maybe horror or survival.

[Dr. Doctor]

A game inspired by 1930's pulp fiction in the same vein as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow or The Rocketeer would be pretty cool.
