I wonder if this will be closer to Fable gameplay wise.

or maybe it's a reference to Morrigan and her deal

Now that you mention it I think you may be right.....it allmost looks like the dragon is the guy's shadow hinting that inside his soul is that of a dragon.

maybe Morrigan left the child for some reason after he was born..and he survived an assault...then along the storyline u get to find ur powers and meet Morrigan

[BomimoDK]

Hmm, Child of Morrigan... Child of Bhaal anyone? if it is so, this could go on to be one hell of an epic game! Ask me, those parallels are welcome, it's been well over 8 years since i last killed a half-god!

I doubt they'll drop the complex strategy options but anything's possible but still I doubt it. I still think they'll have classes of specialization and such with branching trees and followers and all that.

I mean it wouldn't be a bad turn, Medieval Mass Effect, but again, would it be Dragon Age at all? I would miss the Dungeon crawling.

Nah on the main page of DA2 they already mention that we can be a warrior, rogue or mage again so I don't think that any of the old spells and abilities will be gone and I'm mostly sure we'll have a party of companions again so that's not something I think will happen.

I'll preface by saying I'm in Negative Nancy mode, but the overall "feel" of the DA2 stuff so far makes me think they're making it darker for the sake of dark and amping up the EXTREME quotient to please your 300 fans. Hell, they even have the line about "fight like a Spartan." I would not doubt if the combat is "streamlined" for consoles.

As for Fable- it sounds just like it. The whole "rise to power" deal. I mean come on BioWare- you didn't throw in a Human Commoner Origin in Origins because its a trope thats been played to death. So now we're a damn refugee that has to rise from humble origins to become king of the land?

but actually if you think about it from a dragon age lore and biowares style

being the child for your PC would actually fit well morigan even says the child will represent freedom and be a symbol

and since the game plays with a dark theme how perfect than to be in part an old god makes for awesome choices because morally the archdemons are evil but you are the child of morrigan and a great warden so

obviously you will have great power the but pending on how you played Origins you could have alot of evil or alot of good in

and it would make sense for morrigan to abandon the child and watch from afar as it grows up so the sole survivor I would imagine its something along the lines of you were found by a small village and raised as a orphan until you started finding your power


-----DAO SPOILERS BELOW BEWARE-----
now as far as everyone else saying you cant pick race well not entirely true because tech the dark ritual could of been done with any race the only sustained factor was morrigan but at the same time anythign could happen cuz the day after the child is conceived it had the essence of an old god zapped into it so doesnt necessarily mean you have to be human (although I would play as human)

at any rate I could see some very cool and dark choices to make playing as morrigans child like finding out where you came from etc etc



although the one thing I hope bioware doesnt do is what Fable did the transition from Fable1 to Fable 2 was a joke I personally hated how you were all medieval swords and armor in Fable 1 and then in Fable 2 you are renaissance age and like none of your story from fable 1 really flows in fable 2 its just a brand new game like you never even needed to play fable 1 for fable 2 to make sense

so I hope dragon age 2 doesnt jump so far away then someone could walk right up to dragon age 2 without needing to play dragon age 1 at all

I like how mass effect 2 transitioned somone could walk up to mass effect 2 without playing masseffect 1 and understand what is all going on but you would feel compelled to play mass effect 1

I hope that the strange white-haired Dragon-witch is Morrigan's child.

[Darth_Trethon]

Chris Priestly just confirmed that the player character in DA2 can ONLY be human.....this only adds fire to this speculation IMO. Morrigan's child would have to be human and if you can only play as a human in DA2 that means that means you can't play as someone who couldn't be her child.

[Tiuwaz]

do you think this is her?



It would be cool if she is main antagonist of sequel.

that is definately Morrigan, or atleast to 99% sure

same yellowish eyes, purple lips. clothing style is witch of the wild reminiscent, especially the feather frills around the neck. Personally i dont think she is the antagonist, but will play an important role (perhaps merlin style?)





This makes me sad as  Morrigan was my love intereset in da1, and I wanted to be able to conclude/further pursue that in da2 or atleast an expansion. With a new hero that aint possible. I guess my warden died of broken heart in the end. :crying:

My thoughts exactly. For one of my heroes at least. However I like the thought of finally resolving that mystery around Morrigan and OGB. Also, I think here on the picture we see Morrigan's daughter.
That explains why she looks like her mother, and this also explains her arm.

Massive SPOILERS below




You've been WARNED - SPOILERS




Remember, when Riordian explains what happens if archdemon is slain not by Grey Warden? His soul will seek a nearby darkspawn and inhabit it, which makes the dragon immortal. This means that a darkspawn that was possessed by Old god's soul is transformed into a dragon.
And a human with Old God's soul is also slowly transformed. First arm, and one day inevitably she'll become a high dragon.

The witch in the concept art has a left hand very much resembling a dragon claw, probably Morrigan's kid. The guy's right hand is similarly claw like, it's probably just his glove but it could be symbolic of the dragon. If I had to guess, the witch is Morrigan's kid, she destroyed your home and made you a refugee, you have to stop her from doing something nasty to the world.

I thought as well it might be her, but the BW website now says we play as Hawke, a survivor of the Blight. So it seems the events of DA 2 take place right after Origins, which makes it highly unlikely that older witch is Morrigan or even more unlikely her child

The DA 2 main page does not mention this what's your source? No blight reference at all. It just says you survived the destruction of your town nothing about any blights.

just read the teaser of the latest news.

There is also already a Hawke thread containing the same news on the DA 2 forum

Given what transpired in awakening the blight wasn't quite over at the end of DAO which was some months after Urthemiel's dragon form was slain and then some more months before awakening started so it is probable that he/she may have been reborn by the events of awakening or at least before their conclusion. A baby but still a survivor.

hawke could have been a child when he survived the blight, and darkspawn kept roaming the world even after the archdemons death. So i still think its Morrigan but I agree its highly unlikely to be her child. Actually I think Hawke might be Morrigans child but we'll see. It would certainly fit.

[ironcreed2]

This is what I was hoping for as well. However, I am now thinking that Morrigan's half arch demon child may be the threat we rise from obscurity to face. I realize that it was merely a path in the first Dragon Age, but it hinted so strongly at the sequel that it simply has to be a major plot point in Dragon Age II. If not, then Bioware dropped the ball, in my opinion. I'll be getting it on day one either way, though.

[sammcl]

Could be you survived the blight as a child, so it's a huge part of your character, but we play as an adult.
Edit: Hah, someone beat me to it : / Hawke doesn't exactly look like a young guy, looks between 30 and 40, if he was 10 during the blight, and that's about the age people choose for the "young kid survives traumatic event" story... then Morrigan's kid could be 20-30. Total speculation but I think that's the route they'll take.

he could, but remember, when the Blight officially ended (the day the archdemon was slain), Morrigan's baby was less than a week old and far from being born at all. Hawke might have been a child, but Morrigans baby is definetively born after the Blight, so if Hawkw is a survivor of the Blight, regardless of his/her age at that time, can't be Morrigans baby

If you think about it, your character may have survived the blight because he/she has the blood of the Arch Demon within as well. Only later in the game will you meet with an older Morrigan in what could amount to a real "Luke, I am your father" moment. In this case it would be, "Hawke, I am your Mother" of course, lol.

Not necessarily.....quite a few months passed between when Urthemiel was slain and Awakening which also occupied some time and given that the Darkspawn weren't gone it's entirely possible he was born but even unborn he'd still qualify as a survivor of the blight.

Yeah I am aware of that, which I agree speaks against hawke being Morrigans child. But we know that Darkspawn kept roaming the world after the Archdemons death and its not unreasonable to think that they simply kept calling it the blight until all Darkspawn were killed or went back underground for good.

Yep this absolutely fits too.
