I wish Bioware would make a steampunk Rpg
I've seen Steampunk as a genre be incredibly derivative and boring in many cases. Many cases of good settings, but also many, many more that are just fantasy settings with giant cogs on everyone's costumes and magic disguised as technology.
If they did it, I'd want them to create a balanced and unique setting. Arcanum attempted this, wih almost half the world embracing industrial era technology, while the other clinging to the old ways of magic and tradition, with even the very nature of technology and magic being unable to coexist (technology causes Mages to become mentally unstable if around it too long, while casting spells disrupts the nature of the environment such that technology often breaks down or fails). Such a more unique outlook on technology, instead of just machines acting as a plot mechanism to give us everything traditional magic does, would be welcome (if not needed).
Also, working with Steampunk introduces some mechanics questions, such as how guns would work, how things like gliders and flying machines would play within the engine and other boring, technical questions. But suffice to say Bioware would not be able to copy/paste the same type of game into a Steampunk setting. Not implying they would, but also just trying to demonstrate that a Bioware SteamPunk game might not just be Dragon Age with Victorian industrial influences.
