This is the first time I ever heard of a Dragon Age TV show being made, much less already being out...
Well I suppose the marketing is a big factor too then 😅 yeah it came out 2022 on netflix
We don't. We let it fail, we ignore it and hope it gets forgotten. The best thing that can happen if a beloved franchise is getting adapted by any of those companies.
@@JPG.01 absolutely my thoughts. If they are hellbend on burning franchise and money. Who are we to stop them? I simply replay the old games.
There is an interview a couple months ago with the showrunner of the show on the channel Escape Velocity. The Mass Effect stuff starts at 1:37:02
This is 100% guaranteed going to be a wet dog-fart because they are going to fill it with DEI. Besides that, none of the fools making it even know why Mass Effect is so good.
Yes, it is doomed.
"Current day" writers have only contempt to both fans and lore. There is no hope for the Bioware IPs
Best thing they can do with the show is not make it
I think there's an inverse relationship that applies here. The better a game is at providing its player with a genuine sense of control over their destiny through the choices they make, the less effective (and relatable, for players) any TV series- with, by definition, a strictly linear narrative structure- is going to be.
How do the games that adapted well to TV differ from Bioware's classic RPGs? In Dragon Age and Mass Effect, choices the player character make can have drastic repercussions on everything from the future branch points of quest structures to companion NPC character arcs, not to mention how the game universe and its entire panoply of factions will react to your PC thereafter.
For both "The Last of Us" and (Bethesda's) Fallout Games, that simply isn't the case. Not that they aren't great games in their own right, but choices never have the same degree of consequentuality, not even close. In Fallout 3 for example, one of the evilest things you can do is nuke a town full of innocent people because some rich guy thinks it's an eyesore... and the most earth-shaking ramification of this is that your PC's dad expresses disappointment in you (as if you forgot to feed the fish) in a future cutscene. Compare how obliterating the Rachni, or choosing which companion to sacrifice on Virmire, has profound consequences throughout the trilogy.
One corollary is that it's relatively easy to root for Ella Purnell's Lone Wanderer in the Fallout TV show, even if she's nothing like the character you played. But your Shepard is irreplaceable. As is your Hero of Ferelden, or Hawke, or even your Inquisitor. You invested too much of yourself into shaping who those protagonists were, for anything produced by a studio writers' room to feel in any way authentic.
DA & ME originated as RPGs in the finest sense of the term. There's only one story in either of those universes that matters, and it's the one you called the shots in crafting.
I watched absolution. It was mediocre at best. New viewers won't know what the hell is going because they don't know the lore and it felt like a poor set up for veilguard (which has also flopped) and its story pretty much went nowhere. Besides that Meredith scene nothing really drew my attention
If the show doesn't reference events from the games, there will be a disconnect. They could just name it a random space show and would have as much meaning. Unless it takes place BEFORE Mass Effect. If the events of the original Mass Effect have started when this show starts, it's impossible to avoid referencing Shephard. I would love to see this show be First Contact Wars. Maybe even follow Anderson as he tried to become a spectre.
@@Jason_Kunkel I would rather they retell the story of the trilogy minus the ending. But the because they can’t allow Shepard to be a man we not likely to get that.
Easy, don't have Bioware develop it.
I really disagree about it not being about Shepherd but with the show I would delve into his or her life before the game starts. The only problem is whether it will be a man or a woman. For that problem to be solved I think they should do a poll and let the majority rule. I tried watching Absolution but did not like it and where I think that failed was because the game you have a lot of choices for your main character. Since the show doesn’t allow that because of obvious reasons I think that’s where the disconnect came from.
I know interacting with a story is the reason a lot of people prefer games so I can understand that, I suppose a Shepard backstory would be pretty cool, though which backstory? That's another choice they'd have to canonise 🤔
@ true. I’m not sure how they would choose which backstory to go with maybe a mixture of them. It would also have to be decided if he was renegade or paragon so I guess it would be harder to do with it being about Shepherd. I might have to scrap my original comment but I don’t think it would really do well without it being about Shepherd.
@@cmbrock1 As I can't see ME4 without Shepard, a tv show would be the best time to actually NOT use him/her. As Anderson is most likely dead, as he dies irregardless of the player's final choice in ME3, the show could be the best place to showcase Anderson's younger days. It could feature a quick narrated look at the finding of the Mars archive, a flashforward to the ending of the First Contact War, humans entering galactic civilization and then focus on Anderson's interactions with the Council and his preparations to becoming a Spectre, culminating in Saren's sabotage. During this, we would see Udina become the human ambassador, and Anderson's romance with Kaylee Sanders, along with the opening of Grissom Academy. The last episode would Anderson working as an Alliance captain, the construction of the Normandy SR-1 in the background, and end the episode with Udina and Anderson's discussion of Shepard.
That would finally give people the prequel stuff that they want without having to make/play a game of it, flesh out Anderson's character, and give fans Keith David a final time before ME4 launches. This would also allow the show to not have to deal with any of the choices that would come with using Shepard.
@ Shepherd is the backbone of Mass Effect I just don’t see it being massively popular without that character but I like what you’re saying.
Wait, there is dragon age tv show?
Indeed there is, came out a few years ago on netflix 😁
@TKGames54 omg, what else i missed? What next? borderlands movie?!?
