I see a lot of complaining, but I for one am really happy about the news regarding Dragon Age II.

I would have loved to see my favourite Grey Warden go on with his adventures, see what happened to the respective romances and companions (get Morrigan back somehow ), go on building this story... BUT...

The series of games is called Dragon Age, not The Grey Wardens. And right now we have this great and young fantasy world that we can get to know. By the time we start DA II we (as real life people) will personally know the king of Ferelden, the heroic Grey Warden, an important part of the story of Ferelden, Orlais and Tevinter, also the boss of the Circle down there... I like the idea of building from zero another scope of knowledge of the DA world, that will complement what we did with DA1. Besides, what would the Grey Warden do, fight another Blight? Within the same century? Anything else would be either anticlimactic, or ridiculously huge.

The people who made all the NPCs that we enjoyed so much can still make up more awesome ones, and well as all kinds of good plots. They have given me no reason to doubt that.

I can't help but think it's a great move to dissociate "Dragon Age" from "Grey Wardens", otherwise they would end up being the jedis of the DA world (in the SW world nothing else interesting seems to exist, if we look at the SW videogames that come out). Dragon Age can thus become something much bigger, it can become the D&D/FR of computer RPGs, and for that it is really necessary to develop the whole world and all of its potential.

Yay!

I need at least one post like this a day. Thank you.

It makes a nice complement to the tears, off which I think it's already been established we writers derive our primary substance. It's been a bit of a glutton's supper around these parts lately, let me tell you.
