Summary
- David Gaider says a live-action Dragon Age show akin to Fallout would be a "terrible idea".
- Without the interactive elements, he says it would be a fairly generic story, struggling to stand out in an already oversaturated genre.
- However, he says that he'd be "happy to write" a Dragon Age show if it ever did happen.
A tweet from film critic Darren Lucas, asking what people would like to see adapted after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the enormous success of Fallout, has been making the rounds, and former 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider himself responded.
"I imagine everyone would expect me to say Dragon Age, but that'd be a terrible idea [...] I'd be happy to write a Dragon Age TV show, but I can tell you right now that a party-based fantasy trope-filled romp a la 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Honour Among Thieves would not be my first choice. Or second. Or even t🍸hird.
"You take away the interactive element and you're left with a pretty stock standard fantasy story. It would take a pretty deep dive to distil the elements of each that make them unique," Gaider continued, referencing Dragon Age, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elder Scrolls, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate in particular. "Not impossible, but 🌞it would take more t💜han a rote adaptation."
What About Mass Effect?
Todd Howard sh🐠ot down pitches to adapt The Elder Scrolls for similar reasons, choosing to adapt its sci-fi sister series Fallout due to its more unique aesthetic. BioWare likewise has an adjacent sci-fi series, but David Gaider doesn't think 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect would stand out much in a TV landscape either.
"Much like Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate 3, I have a hard time picturing a Mass Effect show that does anything we haven't already seen a dozen times," Gaider said. "The Halo TV show, for instance, could just as easily have beenꦍ Mass E🌠ffect."
The Halo TV show, for ins🎶tance, could just as easily have been Mass Effect.
Three years ago, reported that Amazon was nearing a deal to make a Mass Effect series as it continued to "invest in fantasy genಞre of all kinds", but no news has surfaced since. Perhaps they came to the same conclusion as Gaider.
Of course, Dragon Age did get a series in 2022 with the animated Netflix show Absolution. Like Fallout, it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:reviewed well, with a Ro🧔tten Tomatoes score of 92 percent. But unlike Fallout, there has been no word on a second season🐷.
A live-action adaptation would be competing with The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, putting it into an entirely different ballpark, so it's easy to see why Gaider and Howard are cautious. For now, we'll just have to wait for Dreadwolf to get our Thedas fix.
