Dragon Age is Fantasy Canada!

[Soviet Heavy]

Just cruising around the Something Awful forums and checking out the Dragon Age 2 Let's Play, when I found this in the comments.

Spoiler: Thedas

Spoiler: Quebec

Pretty close huh? And if you tilt the map of Thedas, that puts Orlais, the Dragon Age French, right around the Montreal Area in relation to the Quebec Map.

I also find it funny that this comparison makes the Korcari Wilds to the immediate south, as if civilization just drops off the map once you leave Ferelden/Ontario.

So, funny comparison aside, you all seem to want some discussion value, so: have you ever found a humorous real life parallel in a game you own?

No wonder I find Dragon Age boring.

Every Pokemon game (Except White and black) map is designed from part of Japan. On various angles etc.

Oh and i'm only referring to the "proper" Pokemon games, so things like mystery dungeon and all those other sorts of ones don't count.

I remember one of the gamecube pokemon games had a sort of mad max vibe with it. Motorcycles and deserts or something.

you HAVE to base your map on SOMETHING without making it look ridiculous.

No Moose.
No Hockey.

Ergo, Thedas is inferior.

Kind of offended when the only civilization drops off in the south east, and the world of Dragon Age is solely on that continent. So Maritimers are elves, eh? At least they got the Gaelic thing right.

We are talking about Dragon age not Skyrim.

One might suggest that you were just saying such things in order to get an angered response.

OT: Of course Dragon's Age happens in Canada, we're awesome like that. Upon closer inspection it does kinda seem like the Dragon Age devs used that map as a reference.

I may suggest, then, that one takes the idle comments of some joker on the internet far too seriously.

How right you are. It's so often the topic of discussion that even I've got it in my subconscious, apparently. Embarrassing.

Fortunately (?), I also don't care for Dragon Age.

(Aside: My assessment of Canada's excitement level isn't even meant to be against it; I find exciting places stressful anyway.)
