Would be cool if one of the planets you can find has a description that Dragon Age players would realize means it is the world from Dragon Age. I'm not saying we should be able to land on the planet, but just find it.

The moon in DAO looked the same as the planet Klendagon from ME1, but Thedas is none of the planets in that star system, no planet there has Earth-like features as Thedas does. Too bad, it coud've been a great easter egg.

That would have a insane implications that I don't even wanna think about. Would that mean Biotics are an advance form of magic using element zero so the mundane can use it since they aren't born with it? Are Demons just aliens from another dimension with powerful psychic abilities that allow them to open portals between the Fade and reality?

The Dragon Age planet's star orbits very close (relatively) to a black hole, thus the fabric of time and space is thin enough in that system that with practice, people who are sensitive to the existence of alternate dimensions (mages) can break through to an adjacent dimension. The Fade is that dimension and it does not follow the laws of physics as we know them and it is where beings of pure energy exist. In their natural state, the beings known as spirits are just like people, they have different personalities, different thoughts, different desires, but when twisted or forced into our dimension they take on grotesque forms as a defense mechanism in order to cope. Lyrium is what the people of Dragon Age call Element Zero and red lyrium is an as of yet undiscovered form of element zero, altered by overexposure to the wild energies of the Fade (the adjacent energy dimension). 

 

Biotics are, as you put it, Mass Effect's version of mages. The thing is though that in Mass Effect the people are advanced enough to mostly understand it while the mages of Dragon Age are not actually performing magic, they are simply tapping into scientific and natural forces that they can't understand and thus they label it as magic much like a 10th century person would label a radio as magic or demons because they don't understand how it voices can come from a tiny box.

Actually, I've been wondering about why they're aren't too many games that crossover the sci-fi and fantasy RPG (elves, dwarves, dragons and other staples within the usual setting. more RPG than TPS with just a small dab of RPG) genres. It could either be interesting or terrible. However, Mass Effect probably wouldn't be good for it considering how a lot of the ME fanbase is. That and I'd leave that to a different developer since I'm not sure if BW would be able to pull it off.

[FKA_Servo]

If they want to set fire to everything good about either setting, they should definitely do this.

 

Otherwise, no. Easter eggs are one thing, but linking the two IPs in the same setting - or any sort of crossover - would be the most inane thing they could possibly do with it.

[Lady Artifice]

And now I'm imagining demons vs reapers.

[SolNebula]

Mass Dragon Effect of Age.

 

Sounds like an anti-age product

[Gago]

I find this concept quite interesting but other than Easter eggs there shouldn't be any direct crossovers. Maybe in the future some third game like Blizz did with HOTS (hell yeah) or something. Emphasis on maybe.

[Kappa Neko]

This sort of thing should remain restricted to fanfiction.

 

However, I like to imagine that Dragon Age is the FUTURE of the Mass Effect universe. We already have the krogan head easter egg. Maybe a bunch of people crashed their ship on Thedas when it was still a primitive planet? Maybe survivors of the reaper invasion fled to places not touched by the reapers. Maybe The Milky Way ended up completely fu*ked after the war, never recovering. So all the advanced races starved. And only the primitive one survived. And one such planet was Thedas. One day they might develop spaceflight and find the remains of the reaper war, not understanding what used to happen every 50.000 years, just like Shepard once did.

 

But who knows... maybe the reapers were on Thedas 50.000 years ago to check on it, and corrupted the planet in some way. Because, let's be honest, we have the same things in Dragon Age that we have in Mass Effect: powerful creatures with indoctrination powers that haunt the world periodically, they have an army of mindless monsters at their disposal, a weird blue mineral that has magical abilities, corrupted people who look like victims of reaperfication...

 

So I'm calling it now: the reapers indoctrinated the elven pantheon, known to them as the Forgotten Ones, and now we have archdemons and crap.

So basically, reaper indoctrination is not dead. They better bring back Shepard a second time to save Thedas!

Easter Egg was all I was after anyway. I never said we should go on the planet and hang out with the inquisitor. Just that we can survey it and based on the description DA players would recognize it as the planet that Dragon Age takes place on. 

[Beerfish]

They already have crossed over.

 

In one of the Dragon Age multiplayer maps there is a room with a bunch of trophy heads on the wall of all sorts of dragon age creatures, but there is also a krogan head on the wall.

[MrFob]

The Krogan can also be found in the Winterpalace. There is also an Ogre statue in Hock's vault in the Kasummi DLC. And in DA:O there is a codex page that mentions Shepard.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are easter eggs like this in fufture games as well. That's all it should be though, easter eggs. Anything serious would be just weird.

[dreamgazer]

I wonder whether we'll finally learn that element zero is actually lyrium.

Knowledge regarding the melting point of a stack of Bioware games would immediately follow that particular revelation.

Klendagon is actually based on Mars.

 

ANd the rift is Valles Marineris

 

Talk about your easter eggs...

[SojournerN7]

That wouldn't necessarily be all bad.

It's interesting going through the ME Wiki and reading through the trivia bits. I think a nod to other Bioware IPs isn't a bad idea, so long as it's...subtle.

[Silver Souls]

I want to se the

holo liara made

in ME3 telling about shepard and the reapers, that would be cool

I love that. That is totally my new desktop now

Oh I noticed there's some people cut off on the sides. I went and found an untrimmed version.

I want nothing of Dragon Age: Inquisition in ME:A, not even an easter egg.. That game just... I didn't like it.  Fun gameplay, but the story... I couldn't get into it.

[Stormy]

Remember, in the Omega DLC (ME3), one of Aria's people was speaking to Ruck (DAO reference).  Maybe Thedas was already in Milky Way histories.
