So, I just finished Awakening and am contemplating the final slide of the epilogue. Do you think that it indicates the warden will be the main character for DA2 or that his/her story will continue in a second expansion? Discuss!

[Vicious]

More Expansion/DLC imo. But it could be either way, since DA2 is not an origins game.

[Jagrevi]

I would certainly hope that we'd continue straight into another expansion - but I can't make any kind of assertion as to whether it is more like to happen or not happen.

Two years of content is planned for Dragon Age Origins and I predict another expansion before the DA2

[Cenwyn]

I wondered that myself too. Would another expansion pack continue on with our current warden adventures or would they fast forward to maybe the children of our wardens or add just new wardens in general as well? Could another blight strike within our warden's lifetime? Also I wonder if Avernus from Soldiers Peak will play a part since he was researching ways to help the Wardens? Or at least in my game I left him alive instead of killing him. I am curious to see what they do and how they run with the story. So many things from DAO are left open to speculation I think.  Or perhaps all these would carry over in DA 2?

I do hope however that when DA 2 comes out is has the same feel as DAO. My favorite aspect of that game was personal level of relationships that I developed with all my companions both on and off the battlefield. I was thrilled to find that is was not just a dice and slice game with no emotional depth to it. I eagerly await to see what Bioware does and I hope we fans are not dissappointed with DA2.

Last i checked, most beleaved the product due out on feb 2011 is yet another expansion. If this is the case then I figure we'll see another adventure staring our Warden. Although I would be willing to be we will not be seeing the Warden return in the full fledged sequel. This ain't Mass Effect... a continuous story is nice, but it was never promised.

[bluecuban]

Keep in mind they did say there are 2 years worth of content planned to support Origins. Doesn't make sense to launch DA2 a year before their content pipeline for Origins is complete.



Also, the Origins epilogue wasn't really saying the Warden would go on to do what happens in Awakening, so Awakening's epilogue doesn't mean our Warden couldn't return.

[uberdowzen]

I reckon there will be another expansion continuing the Warden's story and then DA2 will jump ahead to the next blight. That'd be pretty cool, if we returned and the world had changed over 2 hundred years or something.

But, asuming the next game will be called Dragon Age and asuming I've understood the DA calendar, it could only be set as far as 70 years after origins, any later would be a new age...

----Spoiler, sort of----

and, asuming that Alistair was right about his "you've got 30 years" timeframe, the Origins warden should be alive for almost half of the current age, so it's not impossible that the current character could find their way into DA2.

Anyway, I'd like my current character to be concluded in the next full game, rather than an expansion, but so long as it's a good ending to the story I'm not all that bothered.

I wouldn't mind seeing my warden as a "Duncan" type character. Not necessarily to play but to view as part as training a new character or something. Even right down to what my character looks like.

I have thought about that. The reason I dismissed that was because blights only occur every few hundred years and I'm assuming that's what the next 2 games will be about.

I'm hoping the next DAO expansion won't be focussing on the blight, as it'd be cool to see the world branch out a bit.

I see this being a likely scenario. Older games get DLCs all the time, even with the inclusion of new games in the series.

[astrallite]

Actually I think it would be cooler to follow the progression of the Baldur's Gate series, and another story about the blight would be completely uninteresting.

The original Baldur's Gate was the epic, sweeping chaos that would have thousands and thousands dying and turn the entire region into a killing field.

Baldur's Gate 2 was a personal story, and took place in a much larger game world that largely didn't care about you or thought you were some great hero. These places had their own problems, much bigger than yours, and you ended travelling many different parts of the world where the where the "villain" of the tale has no part in, but is an adventure of its own. Baldur's Gate 2 was much better received than Baldur's Gate 1, and the story and world had a large part to do with it. The heroic tale is a little too repetitive and you end up feeling like you are crawling through a tunnel.

The Blight in DA:O occured only in Fereldan. There are tons of countries in the continent of Thedas the story could take place, in which the Blight is nothing more than a plague taking place far away, and you don't have to be a Grey Warden.

What did Flemeth say? "Men's hearts hold darker shadows than any darkspawn? (afaik?). There is room for much more interesting villains and conflicts in Thedas.

I think it would be cool if Da 2 started like 18-20 years after origins and you could play as like alistair/ and or anoras child for human noble... just sayin

[Gaharia]

I'd really like a prequel, maybe durring the first blight, that would be awesome.

[wwwwowwww]

Considering that according to the voice actress for Lilianna said that Lil will be in the next DLC, I would say DLC's are coming, how many I don't know. I do not see another expansion though, I think we will be seeing DA: 2 in Feb of 2011

I dunno, it took Bioware about a year to make Awakening, so I don't think they could update the engine and make another 80-100 hour campaign in a year. That time scale I'd say matches more closely
with an expansion.

On that same note, there's a good chance they have been working on new expansions and/or DLC for a while as well, not just Awakening.  The voice actress only just got needed for her character, but development could have been far along before then.

This game is awesome!!  If there were to be a Dragon Age 2 i hope it goes online, but for now i would buy another expansion if one becomes available

[Tajz]

In my view, i think there will be another expansion before DA2. I do hope that it will be better than Awakening though, since as we all knew it's quite short, with bugs and not really a complete product.

Since the game in DA1 leave some of the plots untouched and Awakening doesnt touch some of those plots so i recognized that DA2 will continue those plots. (I wouldnt say it here since it may be spoilers)

I'm sure Bioware hopes for another expansion too. $80 for two expansions (or $120 for 3) for half the content of the original Dragon Age is a pretty good profit.

Especially considering for the first two months Dragon Age: Origins was out, it was running between $30-40 in most retrail/online outlets.

Now that would make for an awesome game.  You play as one of the first Grey Wardens ever!!  You could even fight alongside Andraste herself!

[shedevil3001]
