Simply thinking out of the box here:

Could Shepherd land in Ferelden? Could your DA:O character be swept up onto the Normandy in a later installment of either game? Wouldn't it be just lovely if the two games met at some point in the future? Reapers & Dark Spawn connected in some way? Arch Arch Demon actually a Reaper? Thoughts? Anyway I thought this would be a fun exercise for the group... ;o)

[BreadHelmet]

thats an interesting thought. they could be from the smae universe. one of the scientists on Eden Prime does thank the maker when you get to her.

Their are easter eggs that suggest they exist in the same universe, but they won't make them interact with each other.

Please keep your fantasy out of my sci-fi. This is one of the few well thought-out sci-fi universes in gaming, there is plenty of fantasy out there.



I am so burned-out/bored with fantasy I couldn't even finish DAO...

[Trixster09]

space dragon reaper hmmm.... nah do not want~

[Servo to the bitter end]

As someone who hasn't played DA yet, could you reveal the easter eggs without spoiling anything major?

[TAJ4Life]

Actually there is some text in Dragon Age which has some talk on Mass Effect i.e. Shepard.

Pass... tried to read the Entire and the Rose and was so pissed off after 50 pages when they jumped into a thinly veiled fantasy universe that I tossed it.  I can't read fantasy and I'm getting close to not being able to stomache it in games either.  I have been waiting for ME2 since finishing the first one. 

Why is is so difficult to find sci-fi games with a quality narrative?  Off the top of my head I can only think of a few in the last 5 years; ME, Dead Space, Half-Life, BioShock (kinda), I'm probably missing a couple, but not many.

Now this has gone too far. We need to get all of these 4-5 year olds off of this forum. NOW. This has to be by far the most ridiculous idea i've ever heard. I'm not usually one for bashing down on people's hopes and dreams, but seriously? Why don't we go pick up barney and chucke cheeses while were at it?

Would it be possible to elaborate, kind sir?

[Happykola]

it's possible, the universe is a very very very big place. That does not mean that it's a good idea

[Justin2k]

There are easter eggs, but not to suggest they are in the same universe. More along the lines of "this game was made by the people who made that game".



Theres some book in DA:O that mentions Shepard and someone in ME1 thanks the maker. Thats all I remember.

[dal8523]

The Reapers are the evolutionary pinnacle of the Darkspawn. It all makes sense now.

You heard it here first, folks.

[Bluto Blutarskyx]

actually-

in anticipation of mass effect 2 i created a dragon age likeness for a shepard in me1-

after hearing the comment made by the scientists on eden prime in that shed (the one with the looney assistant) saying "thank the maker".

related or just bioware bieng lazy?

99.9999999% odds its the latter, however- it gave me the idea of "what if" one of my grey wardens survived the taint and not only survived but mastered it to the point she would never age and lived throught he millenia as an assasin killing people for money and in the shadows-

then caught by the alliance and given a deal to spend the rest of her life in a stasis type cell, or work for them and enlist- so a "fake" backstory was created for her- witnesses bought off, whatnot and she joined.

its kind of like shes a highlander type- but not lame.  (ok the 80's dude that looked like a vagrant was bad ass not lame, but thats it)

There is a lack of dwarves and elves in Mass Effect. Mass Effect is based on realistic scientific facts, i.e. Earth. Ferelden is the 'Earth' of Dragon Ages universe. The two could not possibly exist in the same universe. There is no mention of any other races in Mass Effect 2. The humans in DAO are just that, human. Humanity does not exist on another planet, nebula, or galaxy.

[durasteel]

I enjoy the easter egg references and pop culture allusions. Please don't take it any farther than that.

Interesting. I kind of thought of the two games taking place at the same time only in different parts of the galaxy/universe rather than along a time continuum (sp) or evolutionary sequence, i.e. Dragon age similar to the dinosaur age of Earth and ME taking place in a technologically advanced future earth. Are you thinking that Ferelden is actually a pre-technological earth as opposed to a different planet? I don't think either approach is better or worse, just exploring the idea.

For my sullen sci-fi friends, my apologies if this post offends your finely honed sci-fi sensibilities but Fantasy predates Sci-fi, you are kind of putting the chicken ahead of the egg in this case. i.e. Beowulf, Morte D' Arthur, even Tolkien to some extent if you trace him back to the Finnish myths. Modern sci-fi is just that, a product or by-product of the modern age. Nevertheless, both created worlds contain aspects of things in our world we have awareness of, i.e. aliens with eyes, speak verbally correct English, giant flying lizards are still lizards, etc. So, really, you are unwittingly making a distinction between fact and fiction and declaring one better than the other when in reality making the distinction in the first place was your mistake.

The protheans were studying ancient ice-age humans in ME1. What's to say that they didn't abduct some humans and place them on a world somewhere in the galaxy?



That'd explain stuff like dragons as well :-D



All that being said, I'm ok if they're NOT in the same universe.

[Borschtbeet]

I have created a topic on this before.



I believe that Dragon Age and Mass Effect do take place in the same universe...sorta.



The fade from Dragon Age is actually a dimension to other realities as well. I think the collectors use the fade to take shortcuts through the galaxies which is what allows them to appear anywhere even without the Mass Effect relays.



I think what should happen is Alistair should get caught in the fade while fighting a Maleficar and then find himself in the Mass Effect universe.

Shepard should be able to find him and recruit him. Being that he doesn't use guns, he can be given a lightsaber. It would be so cool!
