I was watching my roommate play Skyrim yesterday, expecting more dragons and fire-mages, when all of the sudden I realized he was in a steampunkish dwarve factory, complete with steam powered robot guys. Nice unexpected dose of sci-fi.

While it's clear there are visual steampunk elements in Boneshaker, I'm not sure if it defines the world Zeke and Briar live in. All the cyberpunk stories we've read displayed worlds where just about every aspect of human life is dominated by the advanced technology and dilapidated moral structure. What do you guys think?

  1. I have to agree with you that Boneshaker is not defined by steampunk. I believe that it is just a small part of their lives compared to some of the cyberpunk that we have read. On the Skyrim part, I cannot wait until I find this. The game just keeps getting better and better.
