Imagine if Larian made the next mass effect

I’d even throw in Projekt Red, considering how much of a 180 Cyberpunks had. EA would never fix a game for their fans or be that dedicated to one

One gets ME, the other gets DA.

A CDPR developed Mass Effect and a Larian developed Dragon Age would be the best thing that could ever happen to those franchises and the fanbases.

Reverse it, I want to see Larian do Mass Effect, and CDPR do Dragon Age.

Exactly this! I'd love to see both studio step just outside their wheelhouse because I think it would make something super interesting.

Larian tackling the futuristic combat? Their spin on ME with the level of freedom? Awesome.

CDPR stepping just a touch into the turn-based realm, leaning on their already solid combat and world building? Hell yeah.

I think the other way around is the obvious choice, but if we're playing god, we might as well play jazz, too.

Yes I was going to say this. I love cyberpunk 2077 so much, I’m certain they could make an amazing game where you play as a detective on the Citadel! (Pre-reaper invasion). You could choose to be shady and make deals with criminals for cash or information on more important targets, follow or go against superior’s orders, hundreds of side quests, beautiful map of the citadel showing all its variety and extreme scale.

I would worry that Larian would make DA turn based, but other than that I can’t think of a better studio for the task!

I agree, too bad it's never going to happen.

I don't disagree but I really can't decide if I'd rather have a great turn-based DA game or never play another DA game again 😭

I love the Divinity games and BG3 but oh my god I just want a decent real-time combat party-based RPG with a little bit of flirting and it really feels like Bioware is one of the only studios that does that (we don't talk about Veilguard)

Ooo that'd make me so happy

Shoot, I'd pre-order that.
