What kind of spin-off Games would you want in the Dragon Age universe?

How about a Nug-based platformer like Ori & The Blind Forest or Inside?

I'm honestly terrible at these sorts of threads because, despite living on the Dragon age Forum and gaming now being my #1 hobby...It's only Dragon Age that did that to me.

I've otherwise played: FF7,FF8 FF9, FF10-2...Fire Emblem. Telltale the Walking Dead...Diablo Trilogy, Starcraft 1 and 2... Borderlands 1 and 2... Left 4 Dead 1 and 2... Harvestmoon SNES and N64 versions. MOSt of which I played when I was under the age of 20 and had time. I'm 29 now.

I've abandoned some other games: Zelda is a lost cause for me.. Kingdom of Amalur. FF10 and FF13 and that terrible FF MMO. ME1. Diablo 3 ruined the series for me, and I no longer have an interest in the story. Whereas Starcraft 2 made me play Star Craft 1 properly for the first time. I really like the Zerg and don't like the protoss.

I've watched reviews/let's play and decided not to play: FF15, The Witcher Series. Assasins Creed. Dark Souls. Telltale's ANYTHING ELSE and a nearly every other popular RPG you could name.

What I have learned about myself is that I like:

1. RELATIONSHIP SYSTEMS
2. Killing ZOMBIES
3. And Tower Defense Strategy

I don't know what that says about me as a Gamer. So, any combination of those three (while always including #1) while being in the Universe of Dragon Age would make me happy.

That probably didn't help.

You're probably right about EA not sharing.

I love Telltale games. In that interview with Alexis Kennedy, he says that interactive storytelling is not synonymous with branching narrative. I agree, and it made me think of Telltale games. Sure, branching narrative makes for replayability. But the illusion of choice can be powerful as well. Specially when there ARE points of branching, or consequences. Not everything needs to, but when you don't know what has consequence or not, every single choice of dialog can be tense.

Telltale has great writers and most of their games are very well received, but it has it's haters, like Dragon Age.

All of my favorite ideas are already mentioned above. Goes double for me!

I've said this before, but I'd like to see a Star Wars/MCU style roadmap that shows a bunch of one-off stories featuring a specific character or event. Why not a game solely about Duncan, or Zevran, or Tyrdda Bright-Axe? Why not a bunch of them? Out-sourced to indie studios, so as not to distract Bioware from the big cash cows.



Not necessarily. It depends on whether there is a market segment that EA/Bioware can never serve, but has a lot of potential revenue associated with it.

Like a classical PC/console RTS, Total War-like, based on Thedas history? RTS is not in Bioware's skillset, but it is in EA's portfolio (Command & Conquer), so why not license it? The RTS segment isn't as big as RPG or Action, but it's not small either. (And there, I added another idea to the thread list!) (Digression: I checked the EA's stores "Strategy Game" category to see what they have, and they list 58 games, but only C&C is RTS. They list stuff like Plants vs Zombies and "Madden Social For Facebook" as strategy games -- what a joke).

Telltale Qunari game would be an amazing opportunity to explore the society and learn its lore. I'm all for it, would buy it in a heartbeat.

If they were going to have a Strategy Game made, I wonder what route they'd take. Technically, EA doesn't have a strategy game studio anymore... So unless they were looking to put one together again, they'd have to outsource it. They did go to Failbetter for The Last Court, so it's not without precedent they'd go outside EA.

With the Devs love for XCom, maybe they could swing something with Firaxis...

I'd love something rpg based on the characters before DAI: Bull before he became a mercenary, Dorian politicking in Tevinter when younger, Sera having adventures with the Red Jennies, BLackwall before he was Blackwall etc. Or even origin stories for the Inquisitors.

And if they did a romance pack where you could have extra adventures with your LI, they'd need to prise me away from the console

I just want a bunch of prequels. Experiencing Arlathan first-hand, the Deep Roads before they were the Deep Alleyways, the First Blight, the Fourth Blight, the rise of Andraste, the fall of the Dales, whatever drove the original Qunari from their homeland...

And I want to explore places off the map. I want to know about those human-built pyramids in Par Vollen, and how they knew the Qunari were coming. I want to know about the lizard people and the seafaring dwarves and whatever the Fex are.

I'm not picky about the medium.

Some sort of small time cellular game ap? One where you basically create glyphs or runes where it is implied you are a Formari of the Circle. It can basically be bejeweled clone or some sort of circulatory puzzle based on iconography, but I am interested in a simple time-waster like that.

There are times when I am simply not inclined to think too much on what i'm doing.

If there were to be a spin-off I'd like to see another RPG actually. A spin-off doesn't need to be of a different genre, right?

I would like to see telltale games based off the Silent Grove comic book series.

More or less
