I'd like to pitch an idea to Bioware. I suggest a television show based on the Dragon Age games. I'm not sure who I'd contact to give a fuller story idea to but I can start here.

"In tonight's episode, the Inquisitor and his friends collects 37 elfroots for an old widow"

No

THAT'S the limit of your imagination? Here I thought gamer-geeks were intelligent and able to think beyond the limits of this small world. Seems I was wrong when it comes to you two. Here's an opportunity to create something incredible using a world and characters that are ready and waiting. Instead your small minds immediately jump to bashing it and putting it down. No wonder gamer-geeks get a reputation for being lazy.

Would it follow the books, the games, or be completely original content? 

[stluked]

First, my thinking was a live-action rather than an animated series. Animated would make it too simplistic. As well, Bioware had some incredible actors like Gideon Emery and Steve Valentine and Felicia Day. I'd like to see them in the series as major players. So it would be a combination creation of the game world with some content from the books while creating entirely original content. Sort of a way to bring everything together.

Will the Inquisitor be able to escape from Corypheus!? Will Cullen be able to lead the Inquisition's Forces out of Haven and to safety!? Is that really an Archdemon!?

Tune in for the next exciting episode of Dragon Age Z: "Inquisitor Escapes Corypheus!"

but no, if such a thing were made, it must not follow any of the games. Dragon Age has always been about Thedas, so telling a seperate story gives us a better view of the world. No seeing game characters, no re-enacting events seen in other media. Nothing.

 

. . .But I'd rather watch 'Blasto the Hanar Spectre' than a Dragon Age series.

I think many of the things that make DA2 annoying as a game for some people (small focus, lack of epic heroism, no real ability to effect change in the world, etc.) would make it a fantastic high-budget fantasy TV miniseries. With Anders as Hawke's LI for maximum Escalating Inevitable Tragic Implosion. But besides books, that's about the only way I'd like to see DA in non-interactive media.

Speaking of Felicia Day, she was in a live-action Dragon Age web series. Dragon Age: Redemption.

Boy is that painful to watch.

We are intelligent to know that no matter what you say, we won't get to be involved in making a TV show we can't finance, or even hold the rights for. Good luck on your quest to make a DA tv show, though. It certainly isn't a lazy one.

[stluked]

I think there's a lot in the games that can be expanded on and incorporated into a tv series. I think that cutting off any game characters, stories, etc would unnecessarily limit the show. There's also an added bonus no one is thinking about here. This is an opportunity to explode beyond Hollywood. Throw out the Hollywood racism and sexism and ageism. Create a show that can bring in actors and characters beyond the small Hollywood thinking. Create a world that isn't dependent on the Hollywood Old Boy's club.

[stluked]

First, where do you think you're financing it? Seriously. Are you a delusional billionaire or something? Second, the rights aren't yours, they're Bioware's. It's up to them. I'd love to know where you think that making such a show is up to you.

[Rawgrim]

So you want a tv series set in the DA world....and you want to create a new world for a tv show set in a world Bioware has already created?

Uhm....you basically said everyone were stupid for not "joining you" in this quest of yours. So I just went with it.

[stluked]

No. What I said is you were delusional. So, done with you. Bye bye.

[KaiserShep]

I wouldn't mind seeing a series based on the world of DA, provided that it doesn't rehash the story of any of the games. I don't see the point of it if it just shows us a fixed storyline for, say, the Warden for instance, rather than expanding the world by showing something new.

Why would animated make it too simple? There are adult animated shows, and even some animated kids shows that were pretty adult in theme, such as Gargoyals and the DC Animated Universe, or more recently Young Justice. 

[stluked]

There are some fantastic animated shows. I agree. However, the games are already animated and I think a television series should distance itself somewhat from the games. You don't want it to look like some gaming company using Hollywood to sell their product.

When it comes to a series, I actually would prefer animation to live action for something like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. For one, because it's not likely to get the production value of anything resembling, say, Game of Thrones, animation allows it all to simply blend together. You don't have to deal with crappy looking CGI krogan or turians, or dragons and magical effects. Secondly, characters can be designed however the creators please without having to worry about the appearance of the actors themselves.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I mean live action would get way expensive way quickly. Unless they were ONLY going to do mini series with sayu 6-8 episodes, and even then, that's pushing it. Also, having them animate it would help solidify looks for the games, hopefully finally honing in on an art style and general look for the series.

I like these humans, they understand!

Really though, I'd say an animated mini-series would be a great way to show off more of the world in places we don't know or haven't seen for ourselves such as. . .oh I don't know:

Antiva, Nevarra, Rivain, the Anderfels. . .Heck, I'd like to see an animated spin on witnessing the art of an excavated thaig or an Orlesian ball. If it weren't for the inconsistency that might bother some people, having mini-episodes just focusing on a singular small story in different parts of the world would be a nice appetizer to seeing parts of the world old and new. I'm not all too sold on a long-in-theory story following one character for X amount of seasons and then ending because people stopped watching so there's no concrete finale.

 

----------------------

 

Imagine an episode that follows a Warden into the Deep Roads to partake in their Calling. . .hearing the voices that whisper to them, encountering members of the Legion of the Dead, and fighting Darkspawn in one last, grand battle before they are struck down. . .Then, other stories that follow characters from across Thedas. A Qunari attempting to flee Par Vollen, Witnessing a hand being played in The Game that results in some death or another. . .the possibilities are endless.

 

----------------------

Plus, it could create more characters that people could then see or hear about in later Bioware games (I'm looking at you Masked Throne people! Choice. Spirit!) thus being a tie-in into the main venue of the series: The Games.

 

----------------------

. . .and who needs Hollywood involved in this anyways?

[eyezonlyii]

Actually, an animated series about the multiplayer characters could rock. That and exploring some of the war table missions more in depth. 

[eyezonlyii]

Why not? Hollywood is respected and legitimate. Marrying a fledgling medium and one that is established is not such a bad idea. In fact one could say it is part of the Game.
