So DA2 takes place over 10 years.  One of the Bioware reps here dropped a hint that the game may be taking place during the events of DA:O rather than only after.  Obviously we'll be experiencing events after the Blight since Hawke being a survivor of the Blight is a huge part of the story.  But perhaps we actually experience events during the Blight as well (or before even).  Is it possible that DA3 or some other installment of DA might take us back to the story of the Warden?

If this takes place during the Blight, then it fits with the fact that we're not playing as Morrigan's child (as confirmed by another Bioware rep) since the child couldn't be born yet.  That would also mean they don't have to import our DA:O characters since they wouldn't have had a major effect on Ferelden yet.  So taking all this into account, it's possible that we end up let's say 5 years after the events of Awakening (the time it takes for the events of Awakening's epilogue to occur).  We'd then be left at the point where Awakening left off, and Hawke's decisions could have an effect on the world as well (perhaps expanding beyond Ferelden).  Maybe we're again playing an origin story, though this time we're limited to playing as Hawke.

Following both DA:O and DA2, Bioware could then allow us to take up another adventure with either Hawke or the Warden (aka giving us the ability to have at least 2 playthroughs of a subsequent game with different experiences).  Both characters would already be heroes in their own right, and we would (presumably) feel connected to both characters.  PLUS, this would allow us to play as a character even if we sacrificed our Warden in DA:O (assuming we can't sacrifice Hawke in DA2).

Now of course this is all just my hopes based on very little information.  However, I think it would be a great direction for the franchise, and it would probably make most people happy based on some of the things I stated above.  And it would fit with the lore of Dragon Age, allowing people who sacrificed their characters to not just wave away their sacrifice like what occured in Awakening.

Thoughts?  Criticism?  Random words? :happy:

Where did you get the quote about the two games possibly overlapping (at least for bits)? I've been wondering just about when the timeline is supposed to be at in DA2, so color me interested.

I updated the second post with the link about the DA2 timeline.

Random words I can do:

Blitz
Grunter
Swordfish
Schmooples

As for the rest, er, well, speculation of this kind is like lusting after Leliana: a lot more fun in theory than the reality will bear out

Still, I'm good for as many DA sequels as Bioware will produce so don't let my embittered soul stifle your enthusiasm!

thanks for those links

Oh I just remembered another random thought I had awhile back that I never shared with anyone. I must warn you this is probably pure conspiracy theory.



So for those that played Awakening, do you remember Oghren's drunken thoughts about what sounded like a Warden dream (but wasn't quite a Warden dream). He mentioned weird stuff about tea and some other things, but then he said that the darkspawn asked him "Where's the baby?" Did anyone else think this might have been referring to Morrigan's child?

Okay maybe it's just my excitement but I thought of something else interesting.  One of the Bioware reps said that the Dragon Age is about halfway over at the end of Awakening (I don't have a link unfortunately I've just seen other people mention it in other threads).  Well, each age is signified by a new Blight, correct?  So the Blight beginning the Dragon Age occurred very recently, meaning the Dragon Age is a very new time period.  If it's already halfway over after Awakening (so 2 years for all of DA:O + whatever time passed between DA:O and Awakening + time period of Awakening + 5 years after Awakening (epilogue of Awakening)), that means there's not a long time left in the Dragon Age.  Let's say...no more than 15 years are left in the Dragon Age after Awakening?  That also means there's a new Blight at that time.  Well in 15 years, there's a good chance your Warden will still be alive, although s/he will be getting near the time of his/her Calling.  So there's good reason to believe the Warden's story is still not over.

Either that or Bioware is leaking too much info and they'll have to repeal some of their statements, lol.

Well... no.  An Age is about 100 years, IIRC, and it's simply something that's determined by the Chantry.

It was an interesting line of thought, though, so by all means, continue.

Ah, okay.  Well looking stuff up it looks like a few ages were determined by the beginning or ending of a Blight, but most of them weren't.  It is indeed determined by the Chantry.

Technically, it's possible for one blight to come right after another, it's just not very likely, so they wouldn't specifically tie dates to that. I seem to remember that it's some hind of sign that the Chantry interprets. I'd like to think that this will tie back in to our Origins, and that the next will feature the companions, but I'm kind of done with hope. I feel like exiled Alistair.

Chances are most DA games will be set near the end of the last one in the series, featuring new protagonists and storylines, but being close enough to one another that events can be referenced and effect other titles.

That would match up with Muzyka's comments about Dragon Age being a timeline.

Implementing voice acting for both Hawke and the Warden would seriously be a problem.

Which is precisely why I don't want voice acting, lol.
