If there is a Dragon Age 2.

It's something that I doubt myself, but I think would be great. The idea of importing a character you spent your time on to progress and advance your skills, is something that I've always been fond of. I still enjoy a game, regardless of whether or not an import is possible, but the fact that I can continue on with something that I worked so hard on makes the game so much better in my opinion.

Considering Awakening was an expansion, I can't really say they could use the same exact concept as Mass Effect 2. I wanted to hear everyone else's opinion on this, though. Do you think it's something Bioware would consider, and would it give you more of an incentive to go the extra mile with some of your favorite characters in Dragon Age?

If the timeline disconnect is large (i.e. set 20 or more years distant) it'd still be a snazzy feature to be able to import the exploits (and epilogue) of your DA1 character (be it Origins, Awakening, or both, or from some as yet undetermined future expansion of DA1) so that they can be mentioned in passing, or maybe you even come across an older version of your original character if still feasible.  Maybe one of the DA2 origins can place you as a descendant (if possible) and have you inherit one of your original character's prized possessions as a legacy (perhaps one that will unlock improved stats or abilities as you level).

Always possibilities.  I'm shooting for a DA2 that isn't a direct continuation; let that be Mass Effect's shtick.

[kreite]

 it would be cool

[DownyTif]

When I heard that ME2 would allow you to import ME1 characters, I was pretty excited about it. When I actually imported my ME1 character to ME2, I was extremely happy. To replay my old Shepard, continue his story was a nice feeling. This was just a great idea.



So I hope this will be possible in Dragon Age too, if the story fits.

I agree, I don't think it would should be a direct continuation. And even if it weren't your exact character, at least let the achievements you get or your characters level/gear give you some kind of perks, even if small ones. Continuation of the games I love is the best, and probably the only reason I put up with MMO's.

Won't happen, due to the expansion, plain and simple.

May be not a direct import, but skills, talents, and higher char levels limits should be import to the next expansion / DA02

I agree that at least that much should be imported.

And they would do with the dragon age expansion what they did with mass effect 2. Just make automatic decisions if you didn't play awakening. Its not that hard.

Except that the decisions picked sucked royally? its a shame since they actually had a working system at one point to allow you to make choices, instead auto picking the generic route.

I would personally prefer a blank slate. Set it possible hundreds of years in the future (It takes a while for darkspawn to find a new arch demon you know...) and reference deeds of the original Warden.

[Ezio Faraglia]

DA2 doesn't necessarily have to be about darkspawn, halfno.

And I do like the idea of references of our warden as long as they are correct. OR even playing as my warden through one more game. Make him finish with one final, 3rd bang. Archdemon, the mother, then bamm, another huge exploit.

Though if we just get to see or even use morrigan's god-child as a companion and references to the old warden commander are made, I will be almost as happy. Alexandros the Grey has over a quarter century to live, he needs to use it kickin' @

David Gaider has already stated (months ago in a thread that is now lost in the abyss [I should really bookmark these things]) that any future Dragon Age games he writes would have nothing to do with Blights and thus they'll have nothing to do with Grey Wardens so we won't be importing our characters into DA2 I'm afraid

[iamnar]

the mass effect 1 & 2 connection is one of the greatest gaming ideas ever...playing me 2 felt like an actual sequel...



if they did it with dao...that would rock...

Just because our characters are Wardens, does not mean they can't do something other than darkspawn related stuff.

I don't get it because of how much the darkspawn/blight circumstances have been in DAO and Awakenings so far. But it makes me curious as to whats next, and super de duper excited to say the least.

But if DA2 does end up having a connection somehow to our original characters an import would be nice.

[hexaligned]

Considering  how well DAO sold it would make sense to release another one, and soonish, money in the bank. Personally I'm hoping for something a little more daring than a gather army fight dragon story, I wouldn't mind at all if it had 0 continuity with the first game.

It's highly unlikely a group of Level 35 characters could be kidnapped in the middle of the night by ninjas and then imprisoned by some elven mage...just saying.



It's alot easier when it's a couple of level 6-7 characters.

[Aerosmith]

I can't wait to find Morrigan, she has my demon child!

[kumanur]

I Got the feeling at the end of my DA:A playthrough that I wouldn't be seeing my Warden again in future games, it seemed like he'd left the Wardens for good to go spend time with Leliana which while i was pleased to hear this made me wonder how my Main Character could just wash his hands of the wardens when i'd gotten the impression that Wardens was a choice for life kind of thing.



After a Game and an Expansion Game of showing us the importance of the Wardens it seems odd to me to just phase them out like that.

[NamiraWilhelm]

It would be suprising if they just wiped the slate clean. They must frequent these forums and see how obsessed we are with origins and our woes at the possibility of them not continuing. Though David Gaider does seem to be squashing a lot of hopes for all that lately lol

Even if i had to fund the game myself id get my warden to continue her adventures! Please dont cut us off short! Theres only so many times we can replay origins!

The Grey Wardens are an order devoted to "darkspawn related stuff". It makes no sense for them to wonder off on other adventures. And it makes even less sense from a game mechanic pov - starting a game with a level 20-35 character is overpowered and having them get amnesia (or some other plot device) so they start at level 1 again is awfully contrived

Namely because Blights only happen every few hundred years and there's only so much you can do with the whole darkspawn story. BioWare know better than to regurgitate the same story and can probably tie up any and all loose ends regarding darkspawn with a carefully made expansion if they wished.

Given the in depth history and lore they spent ~2yrs crafting, there's so many other things DA2 could cover - the animosity between elves and humans, the political intrigues of Orlais, a Qunari invasion - and all would be far more interesting (imo) than killing generic humanoid monsters for the umpteenth time

Our wardens were thrown into many situations and storylines, so there could well be other things we get up to.

How it'll match up to a blight i dont know... all i can think of is morrigans god baby.

Suppose all we can hope for are a few more decent expansions for our current wardens at least
