Uh sequel. Not Prequel. Besides How can this take place during a blight if you're a survivor of the blight?

If the start of the game is during the end of the blight it would show you surviving the blight, possibly meating people  that become party members , getting a lay for the game and such. . . . I thought that was self explanatory.

They wouldn't have used the title "Dragon Age" for the series (not just the game, the first game was specifically Dragon Age - Origins) unless they intended it to have some continued relevance. Its not like they weren't planning this before the other game came out, in all likelihood they were.

Finally, no it is not the Final Fantasy form of numbering, because those games don't even take place in the same world necessarilly. This is a game in a set world, which they put a lot of effort into designing even before the first game came out.

Okay Devil May Cry numbering.

ummmmm doesnt the game play ten years after DA1. besides, the devs said that it is mst likely possible to implement ur old saves, meaning you can still feel your choices from DA1. third blight wouldn't make sense....

I keep reading this everywhere, but so far I've seen no actual source. Where does it say the game takes place 10 years after DA:O/DA:A? I've only seen a source confirming DA2 spans a decade.

I very well could have proof that this takes place before Dragon Age Origins, during the Third Blight.

From what little we know so far it seems unlikely.

Okay what do we know.

That Hawke is the Hero of Kurkwall.

This is what threw me for the longest time, in DAO the Blight never reaches past Denerim, let alone to the Waking Sea, to get to Kurkwall. The Gray Warden kills Urthemiel at the Battle of Denerim “Stopping the blight before it ever began.” Now that’s an odd choice of words for the game to use don’t you think?


Now a lot of people say that Kurkwall was Hawke home, because he was the Hero of it. Funny enough thing however, it doesn’t have to be your home for you to be the hero of it. This is a good point, because we can probably assume that what threatened Kurkwall was a Dragon, so Hawke is probably a Dragon hunter.

We don't know why he's a hero of Kirkwall, but we do know he is a refugee. This means he might not even be native to Kirkwall or the Free Marches for that matter.

It's not difficult to imagine he could be from Ferelden and has fled north to the Free Marches with his family to escape the Blight, after it had destroyed his original home.

Another thing that bothered me is we can be a Human mage. . . Now this is odd if we are a human Mage A) we are an Apostate, or We live in one of the many towers of Mage’s unless the Tevinter Imperium is in charge.

How does this all connect?

Quite easily.

If he were but a young boy during the fourth Blight, his talent for magic might not have been revealed yet. Once his family moved to the Free Marches they could have kept his abilities secret in order to avoid having the templars take him away.

We don't know how organized the Chantry is in the Free Marches. It might be a chaotic land in conflict where tracking down those with magical abilities is quite hard. In such a case an apostate mage could hide there and never be noticed by the Chantry unless he does something foolish to draw their attention.

In short using clues form DAO I believe that DAO 2 will take place before DAO, During or at the end of the Third Blight.

There's one problem with this theory: Hawke's story is supposed to be a world changing event.
If such an event happened before DA:O it would have been recorded by Chantry scholars or at least told as a legend by the common folks.

Either way you'd learn about it in DA:O.

Our Hero is probably a Dragon Hunter from the Pentaghast clan who is well known for saving Kurkwall form a Dragon earning him the title of the Champion of Kurkwall.

The city state of  Nevarra is probably were the guy comes form and it was ravaged by Darkspawn during the Third Blight, after surviving the Third Blight Nevarra is taken by the Orlesian Empire. And for some unknow reason, to us at this time. Hawke gathers people over a period of 10 years to fight off the Orlesian Empire and take back Nevarra.

Pure speculation at this point.

We have no info to verify this as being the case. It could be as you say or he could simply be a Ferelden native who fled to the Free Marches to escape the fourth Blight.

This is supposed to be something that changed the world forever. I think such an event would have been touched upon.

Maybe it was, maybe we never noticed, because we didn't know what to look for, and maybe that’s how it ties in, we see this, than that makes scene, and in game 3 it ties everything together.

Isn’t it odd that we are not playing as our Gray Warden?

This game isn’t a continuation of there story, yet there are 100’s of things that are unanswered and yet wouldn’t make since if Hawke fallowed up on them, encounters that I wouldn’t give a damn about if it was Hawke instead of our Gray Warden.

Not really, since a good portion of them died. Which would make the game kind of a bummer.

I think that it was some band of darkspawn that popped up there via the deep roads, thus having the story being semi-simultaneous.

In the most recent blight, that was mainly in Ferelden, there could have been skirmishes of darkspawn that could have caught Kirkwall (if that is where he is from) by surprise. It isn't that far if you go under the sea.

Thus the first year in the game would be simultaneous with Awakening.

I don't think so, I mean yeah its possible, but you would have figured, our Warden would have known something about this, since he was latterly looking at Kirkwall.

And its surrounded on one side by mountains and the other by forest, the Sea being the only easy path to it.

I would say no more Blight, no more Darkspawn, please! Darkspawn were enemies of origins and were taken care of in awakening. I honestly dont want the to fight them again, it would be boring.
Dragons are ok, darkspawn are not. I really hope we will fight against some new enemy.

My friend I think you miss the point of dragon age.

Since the title is 'Dragon Age' my guess would be that it takes place during the Dragon Age. There has been, and only will be one Blight during the Dragon Age: the one we played through.

While you could be right, I'm not so sure. When the Orlesian Warden is called away to the Anderfels at the end of Awakening, the epilogue says that there are rumours of a new Blight beginning. It could well be that the Dragon Age IS the "Dragon Age" because it's when the last three of the Dragon gods arise.
