Like if we could fast forward to a time period similar to our own in terms of technological advancement, what of the original Thedas would still be around? This can span from nations to races, to unnatural phenomena.

I personally like to think all the races we've encountered so far survive. I like to think that the Elves both have their own land again as well as being equally integrated into human society. They might still have Elf Ghettos but they aren't nearly as bad as primitive Thedas and are actual nice to live in in terms of cleanliness, and architectural beauty. The Dwarves still largely living underground in now largely interconnected vaults like in Fallout 3, but now roughly having taken back their entire empire, their caste system now having been largely abandoned and the noble class now being nothing more than historical namesakes that have largely been swallowed up by the Warrior and Merchant caste. Maybe the last royal family of the dwarves still holding that title but out of tradition as oppose to any real power.

Two outcomes:
Qunari would conquer all of Thedas.

Tevinter would conquer all of Thedas.

A world fighting between magic and technology.

 

Due to the natural influence of other races acting upon the Qunari after so many years of isolation the Qun will break down and their technological knowledge will spread. This knowledge combines with the Dwarfs and with their knowledge triggers the spread of his industrial revolution that DA seems to be on the bink of. They both becomes the dominate races. Qunari and Dwarves inbreed to make strong stocky people that are as tall as humans. The first surface dwarves eventlly able to learn magic but this delay is why they don't have as much magic integrated into their technology. Plagued by Nug burger fast food joints on every corner.

 

Elves are wiped out naturally due to inbreeding with only very small pockets living in hidden forest groves. They live like monks. Most human lineages will have elven blood within them and more likely to have magic in their family, they stick to more traditional ways and much of their once great empires have been taken over by the Qunari and Dwarves. Much of these humans are decedent of Tevinter since they were the only people able to stand up to the Qunari's invasion. Only thing keeping them from being conquered is their popular sport that only they can host. Involves the Fade, a net and silly hats.

I think mages and elves would both become a lot scarcer when firearms became readily available to the more bigoted members of what in Origins is the part of Thedas controlled by the White Chantry. They wouldn't vanish entirely, of course. The bigots wouldn't be able to get all the Dalish, and if they did wipe out all the mages in their neck of the woods (unlikely) Tevinter and the Qunari would each get half their territory.

Probably the same thing that happens in Tolkien's Middle-earth, which Thedas is loosely based on. Elves leave, the magic goes away, all the races are gone so "men" think they're the only sapient bipedal race, Christianity the Chantry and dozens of sub-sects spreads, technology and industrialization advances, and the world becomes dry, dull modern world we have today.

 

so sad so lonely for us without them

I doubt it. Magic in this setting seems to be here to stay, since mages can't control whether or not they are mages and there are still mages born among the Qunari for all their scientific knowledge.

I really doubt there would be much difference.  Plenty of humans in Thedas plus the other races seem to be just as violent so it would be a near constant state of war and death that would lead up to a climatic end of us killing each other with advanced technology and/or magic.
