^ is a link to the poll, would you rather a new charecter or stay with the warden?

[Brako Shepard]

It all depends matey.



Mass Effect is a trilogy based on one particular persons adevnture. I am not sure if this is the same intention for future Dragon Age games.



Whilst it is always cool to have a carry through save with the same character being in the next game. I think its just as good creating a new character for a new story.

[Reznik23]

New character & new story please...

[SOLID_EVEREST]

Looks like character import is winning by a longshot lol.

New character, new story, not a Warden

[gingerbill]

In theory having the same charcater sounds good but it imposes to many limitations . I dont think the benefits are worth it , i would rather have a new story. I just like building new characters.



My main problem of using the same character is that you are high level and end up with too many crazy abilities and spells and its hard to justify such a powerful character , or they have to make up some silly reason you start as a weakling again with the same char.

[David Gaider]

While I appreciate the sentiment, what you're asking is "do you want to continue the character you're already emotionally invested in or opt for the unknown?" Since the unknown could be anything and has no associations (beyond abandoning the known) I think most people are going to see it as a net negative-- so it's not really a fair comparison unless you have some idea what the alternatives might actually end up being.



That said, there are definite positives and negatives on both sides. Poll away!

[Dokarqt]

Definitely going for a new character.

With both origins and awakening behind him it feels like theres really nothing new for the Warden-Commander, his story has been done already. Besides whats the next challenge? The Maker has been corrupted by the darkspawn taint and you have to kill him?

No, its time for a new characters story. Which I look forward to.

Also, David Gaider brings up a good point. This poll is rather biased in that aversion to change and the unknown is a central part of the human psyche.

Especially when the unknown is simply "unknown".

[mousestalker]

I voted for the new character. Trying to script a new game that takes into account all the possible warden characters and their major decisions is nigh impossible. Awakening tried that a little and has been justly criticized for mostly failing. Not to mention that by the end of Awakening all my Wardens are ridiculously over-powered.

Just about the only task that one of my mage Wardens would find challenging is the following: "Warden, the darkspawn have succeeded in tainting the Sun. We need you to drive them off and restore it to its former glory. Also, could you do something about the Black City?"

Far more fun to start from scratch.

Ninja'ed by gum!

I would like to see SOME connection with the story arc I invested in with Origins.

Even though it might require a somewhat silly plot device to make it happen, I would maybe prefer to have my original Warden knocked back to a lower level rather than playing a godlike destructor.

I would love to see some continuation of Morrigan's tale.



Also aside from that I just wanted to say that as a newcomer to the DA community, whenever I come to these forums I am impressed with how passionate everyone is about these games and the way members of the dev team engage the community here. Even though there's a lot of complaints and slamming of Bioware and so on happening on the boards, they're cool enough to give us this place to express our opinions and interract and I think it's awesome.

I would like to play as the daughter of Leliana and the Grey Warden if possible.

Oh im sure mr Gaider has a "sticks and stones" motivational hanging around his office somewhere next to his Alistair plushie ;>

[Arthur Cousland]

It depends on how much time has passed in between the two games.  If there is a whole new blight to take care of in DA2, then the DA1 warden should be long dead by then.

After DA1, 5 out of the 7 old gods are defeated.  It would only make sense for the remaining two to be in the next two games, assuming that there will be 3 dragon age games.  Blights are usually centuries apart, so it would only make sense to have a whole new cast, unless you'd have to fight two arch demons in one of the games.  That would be an interesting scenario...

So, in the interest of keeping the poll fair and all that, care to maybe give us some ideas on what said alternatives might be?

[Malanek]

While I would love to have some of those interesting but vague endings expanded on, I don't think it is practical to do that in a meaningful manner given the diversity of those endings and the differening motivations your characters can have.

You also have to consider gameplay in which the game simply plays better at lower levels. Getting the challenge level right when a character has so many high level powers, without making the game too tedious, is just something I don't think can be done. Awakenings demonstrated how difficult this is.

So for story and gameplay purposes I feel very strongly that the game will be much better with a new character and story. It would be quite cool to see hints at what happened afterwards in regards to the world, but it shouldn't be the central focus.

No, it's not.



*looks at poll*



I see some of the gentlemen over at the 'We want to find Morrigan' thread have had their say!

[metatheurgist]

Do you want to



a) Keeping playing at levels 40+ with a system that burned out it's options at level 25 and keep gathering ridiculous talents

Replay the same 3 classes that you've already played to death in Origins



Answer - meh.

[Ginasue]

I would enjoy a new character. Yes I'm attached to the one I have, but yet, it's time to more on and do something new.

In NWN, I have many different characters that I have devolped over the last 8 years. Each has their own story behind them.

A change is good for all of us.

[soteria]

New character. I already can't fit any new abilities on my action bar, and had to replace many in Awakening or pick passive talents. Plus, I hope they make the talent system a little more interesting than the left to right three/four talent progression they did in KoTOR and DAO.



From a story perspective, still, new character. I would probably play another expansion with this one, but Thedas is big... playing new origins (pretty please?) with new characters from a new setting would be interesting.

[Todori]

Mass Effect 2 turned level 60 Shepard into level 1-5 guys, you could even change his class, i thought it was a great idea, i don't see why something couldn't be done the same way.



i doubt the next game is going to be in Ferelden anyways. Majority of what I've done in Ferelden shouldn't have any effect if I'm wandering around in Orlais or Antiva.

[Master Shiori]

Ideally I'd like to continue playing my old Warden, but would like to see him get powered down like Shephard was in ME2.



Nowhere does it say we need to import him. He could just be a possible origin fo DA2.

[Merci357]

I'd enjoy to continue the "adventures" of my warden, after all there is still much story to be told. That said, I wouldn't mind a fresh start either. My only wish is a "level reset" - Awakening and lvl 30+ was an ugly ability overload, way to many skills.

[DWSmiley]

New character, because I really enjoy developing a character, both skills and persona, and because imports tend to be over-powered, as others have noted. And I, too, am not a fan of talent overload. Having dozens of available talents or spells is distracting, not fun.

[Ghostano]

I am half and half most of my chacters die in the end so I guess I would go new chacter. Though would be nice if my first chacter was part of it in some way. Like a staue or something remebering what they did.
