Should Bioware endorse your DAO character for DA2? By this, I mean (of course) their wonderful application of character import and thereby playing as the same character for DA2...

[xDarkicex]

Of course though....





SPOILERS

























Most peoples main characters going to be dead... so yeah.

[da_showstoppa]

They could apply what they did in Awakening where they offer the PC to either become a new character or to import the old one, no?

[Oruchmaru]

i think they should make it possible to import your chars from DAO just for the fact that would make it a bit more intresting

[da_showstoppa]

My Warden has a ton of unresolved issues (one in particular) towards the end of DAO, many of them rather major and many of them with a personal connection to the Warden. Which is why I'd prefer the option to resolve my original Warden's loose ends with my original Warden. Hopefully Bioware will have forseen this problem while making DA2 also...

Hell no, I don't want to be a Grey Warden anymore. I want to forge my own path... within the confines of the standard linear story, of course...

[da_showstoppa]

....hmmm... I don't see Bioware dropping the Grey Warden thing though. Whether we're grey wardens, jedi, specters, ninja turtles...Bioware always has to have us as some sort of special rank, it seems.

[Demx]

One of my characters still has some issues he needs to resolve with Morrigan, so I kinda want him to make it to DA2

[Gaxhung]

One thing I'm uneasy about is how OP your character would be in DA2, how many abilities you will have, do we really want to end up with 2 full rows of abilities? hmm ...

You didn't in Neverwinter Nights.

This is true.. I guess they could always adapt what they did for the character import in Mass Effect 2 in DA2, where you are given a small collection of experience points to spend and are given the option to re- choose which class you would want to be..

On the other hand they could easily add a storied angle as to the warden forgetting his/her abilities *head injury during battle* or perhaps, *tossed from a fortress tower*. 

(These are obviously awful examples) - but the point being... I don't think it's what Bioware choose to do (with the option of character import or not) as much as how they execute it through storytelling which is afterall, what they are best at. Whatever they choose... i have confidence they will present it well.

I understand this. But first, they didn't in NWN.

Second, if the next game takes place in Orlais, they have Chevaliers, referenced numerous times in DAO.

They're like Grey Wardens in that they have a blank check to do whatever the eff they want. They aren't like Grey Wardens in that they don't have to drink Darkspawn blood, don't have their lives cut short, and don't have an inkling of the noble reputation that Grey Wardens enjoy in every country EXCEPT Ferelden.


Personally I think it's a pretty sweet deal to be a Chevalier.


That said... I also trust Bioware to spin a good yarn, regardless of who the hero is.

I don't see how an Orlesian nobody would be better than the hero of Ferelden, but that's just me. If we are going to have some continuity in the story we might as well have it with the PC that shaped the story.

Of course the option of playing with a new character is gonna be available regardless.They are not going to force newcomers into playing as a GW. Personally, I would prefer to have the best of both worlds. Start a new character with his/her own backstory or import your old PC if you wish it.

Wasn't the main character part of some elite academy of adventurers in NWN?

I totally understand, and if people wouldn't be flipping out about how XXX character didn't return from DAO to DA2, I would agree.



But I think they need to wash their hands of this affair and just go forward with the canon story and a new cast to enjoy.

This pretty much.

Having the choice to continue with your Warden or create a new character would satisfy both camps.

[asaiasai]

I am not married to my original wardens but i would like to see the decisions sets each warden character has made be cannonized. The decisions of each warden could then be extrapolated on and the player could see the effects of thier decisions either as positives or negatives.

Yeah that makes sense, I guess they'll reset it somehow. "tossed from a fortress tower" would be most manly, i approve

Yes, and no. Your character in NWN was one of many young women and men who joined Neverinwter's academy with the goal of learning enough in their class to eventually aid the city in dealing with the Wailing Death. It's not prestitgious in the way the Cloaktower mages are. Your NWN character becomes a heroine/hero based on their own merits and growing reputation. Their only back-up is Neverwinter's lord and his aides.

The latter expansion, Shadows of Undrentide, puts you in the role of one of four students learning under a well known mage. Hordes of the Underdark continues the adventures of SoU's character who is famous because they are just that badass. This whole organization thing didn't really start until Knights of the Old Republic; although Neverwinter Nights is the only BioWare game where the protagonist isn't innately special.

On the topic of Dragon Age 2, I'm hoping for a new character. I don't want to play another Grey Warden either. Someone upthread mentioned Chevaliers as a possibility. I'm okay with that. Anything, really, as long as the story moves away from Darkspawn as the primary villains. I don't mind a Grey Warden party member or encounters with Darkspawn, but I want to start fresh in a new location with new faces.

[Loerwyn]

I think the level of choices and decisions in Dragon Age has rendered it near-impossible to allow you to continue your character, IMHO. BioWare will have to pick a canon story (just as they have with the link between Vanilla Origins and Awakening) and all others will have to just be written off as non-existent, just as they undid the Ultimate Sacrifice (apologies for that tiny spoiler). It would be much simpler and much more beneficial to the writing for them to cancel out many decisions and go with just one storyline, whether it's with the old character or the new one.

Personally, I'd like to see a new character. Set it 10-20 years in the future, if not further to kill your character from DA:O/DA:O-A off and then just go from when a lot of societal reform has happened from whatever decisions were made, if indeed it's in Ferelden.

I would like to see somewhere outside of Ferelden though, and how the events of DA:O/DA:O-A may have affected them. Either way, bring on DA2.

[searanox]

I think it'd be cool if you could either import your old Warden, somewhat aged, or create a new Warden who is aging. Throughout the game you would start to feel the effect of the taint becoming greater, resulting in increased strength, more magical abilities, etc., but also bringing you gradually closer to death. A sub-plot could be your own character's struggle with coming to terms with his or her imminent death while there's still an important task to be completed.

Though, knowing BioWare, they'd probably come up with a way to find a "taint cure" and magically remove all consequence from the game's story, because fanboys get too ****y when people die.
