I was wondering if anyone knew how much it would affect the game. Is it gonna be like MA2 where almost every quest and decision was either referenced or actually got to affect the game or is it only gonna be major things like if you sided with the elves or werewolves or if you died ro lived?

Well it's a new main character now, so I doubt Hawke will recieve telegraphs from the people whom the Warden met.

none at all most likely. Would probably take to long to write all that. There's a reason this is in another country with another character.

This. Bioware put enough water between Ferelden and Free Marches. You can at best expect npc from DA:O turn up and tell you your own story (in case you forgot), but I don't see how it would play a major role in Hawke's story.

The new video interview mentions how two major things shape the world in a big way, if I heard them right. I imagine it's the endgame decisions you make.

I believe that our decisions will be referenced... but not by much more than different cameos or mentions. We may see Alistair or Anora depending on our choices, with maybe a few references to the king of Orzammar, siding with elves/werewolves but not major gameplay changes. The one exception is the DR, which may or may not change the story - and since Flemeth is in DA2, is certainly possible that decision will have an effect. The other thing is that I would not be surprised to see a few random things pop up - how did you help/not help Kaitlyn or Dagna or whoever, but only a few of those type of decisions will be seen.

I really hope they bother making the import feature actually worthwhile unlike Awakening. I don't know- whether Morrigan did the DR and with who and who is ruling Ferelden are the 2 huge choices from Origins, I'd think. The other stuff with the Elves, Dwarves and all that I really don't care too much about. We'll see....

[angj57]

I know it isn't likeley to happen, but I would really like to know which decisions will matter because it might determine whether I will bother playing through the original game again to get a "perfect" import ready.

Seems like Templars will play a big part in DA2, so the tower decision may actually change a lot. I doubt elves/werewolves will matter much, as I personally saw that as the least important decision.

in the elves and werewolves there was no real decsion. it was either cure the werewolves or kill them. the third option isnt really an option its just hey lets kill all the elves in that camp for no reason

[SirGladiator]

I think the choices are gonna play a HUGE role, I mean look at all the possibilities. In Origins we determine who is King or Queen, we determine who is King of the Dwarves, whether an entire group of Elves lives or dies, what happens to the Circle, whether the city of Highever is destroyed or saved, whether you save the ashes in the urn or destroy them, etc etc and those are just some of the really big decisions, there are far more smaller ones than I could possibly hope to count. Also, we may get to see our Warden with whoever he or she romanced, that would be mighty cool. And none of that even touches on the Awakenings possibilities, and who/what you end up saving or not saving in that one. DA2 stands to be the biggest 'carry-over' game in Bioware history, it could totally dwarf ME2's carry-over awesomeness from ME1. Its gonna be super duper!

There's plenty of reasons:

• You get to kill Cammen.
• You get to kill that cow who tells you off for stealing.
• You get to kill that cow who has a go at you for trying to enter the camp.
• You get to kill Cammen.
• You're one step closer to achieving extinction of the scumbag Elves.
• You get to kill Cammen.

The carry over in ME2 was very poor.



It would be ironic if DA2 had a superior implenation of your choices as that was one of ME's big promoted features from the outset, whereas nothing was said about that for DA.

ME2's emails == DAO's epilogue texts



So, probably nothing more than a few cameos and mentions in DA2

[AllThatJazz]

I'm hoping for loads of consequences, big and small. From who is ruler/whether Redcliffe still exists/what happened at the Circle Tower/God Baby or no God Baby, to whether Loghain/Zevran/Wynne/Alistair/Warden still live, to whether the dwarves slowly become more isolationist (if Harrowmont rules), all the way down to whether Sten ever got his sword back. Not really thinking all of them will make it in, but I bet a fair few things will. I can't wait!

not sure how this is supposed to make you feel more comfortable. will miss my old warden even more although i understand that the ME like reduction may allow more game/decision depth for the striped down play. I think developing a story with decision nodes reflecting on so many different origins and previous decisions would extend dev time exponentially while doing little to raise the revenue.
at the end the revenue goals for dao2 are clearly stated.

To be fair to Mass Effect, I think most of the big decisions (Rachni, heretic geth, Alliance or cerberus,) are only supposed to come home to roost in ME3. And there was some stuff that carried over in more than emails - whether Wrex/Ash/Kaiden were alive or dead, who you chose as Ambassador etc. Am still hopeful that DA2's carryover will be more than cosmetic.

[Chuvvy]

Man, I ****in' loved MA2. **** yeah Mass Affect 2.

You also get some kickass werewolves in the final battle

I only want to see a few consequences.
1a) The statue/grave commemorating the warden that stopped the blight before it began if someone died.
1b) I'd like to know that my old characters are living/have lived happily ever after with their love interest. Maybe a cameo?
I don't really care about anything else. Over time changes would take place override a lot of what we did.
