A tweet from film critic Darren Lucas, asking what people would like to see adapted after the enormous success of Fallout, has been making the rounds, and former 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 Honour Among Thieves would not be my first choice. Or second. Or even third.

"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, Elder Scrolls, and Baldur's Gate in particular. "Not impossible, but it would take more than a rote adaptation."

Todd Howard shot 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 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 been Mass Effect."

Of course, Dragon Age did get a series in 2022 with the animated Netflix show Absolution. Like Fallout, it reviewed well, with a Rotten 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
