Well I can see they spent a lot of money on the trailer, but how much is this poetic licensing?

Yeah, it could be interesting how they stagger the DAO references/cameos really. They could have Alistair appear/get mentioned quite early (if he is King) for instance, or they could have it late on when he dies/leaves due to the taint.

[/quote]

that would be so awesome. I really hope that there is something that mentions the faith of him, or perhaps anora depending on who one chose to rule.
on the other hand, the game starts in ferelden; in lothering during the blight but most part of the game will take place, at least as far as I know, in "free marches" so maybe fereldens king/queen isn't that important...bur I sure would like him/her to be ^^

Which means Alistair will still be king, or a drunk, or already dead after he slayed the Archdemon...


I'm a little tired of this myth.  There are endings in which he is none of those things.  If you don't believe me just check the DA wiki.

Well I'm sorry but this new trailer didn't do it for me. Sacred Ashes had characters, it had setting, it had narritive developement. This one? Just two guys fighting. Nothing really gripping. it just felt like "any other fight that could happen in the game) at least Sacred Ashes had purpose. This one just felt a bit uninspired. Hopefuly the finished game won't suffer from that impression.


But the Sacred ashes wasn't THE FIRST trailer out was it? Really, plus, if you looked deeper into it you can see the signs that this revealed much more than the sacred ashes ever did.


Indeed, and besides, you can reduce the SA trailer done to the bare bones too:  "It's just four people fighting a dragon on a mountain or something."

This new trailer appears to be mostly fighting, but just check out some of the "stills" from it that have been posted.  There's way more than just Hawke fighting a qunari.

Is that what bioware is becoming? More action and less RPG. Come on people this is a Mass Effect in the dragon age world. There should be role playing, character creation. Bioware is just ruining the game right now. Making only human playable is just a way to evade hiring more voice actors.


So you want a trailer with two guys talking about the possible outcomes of a bloody action? Its a trailer ffs! People, c'mon? Some of you are just really over reacting. I have seen poor people worry less than you.

A trailer is supposed to be: Fun, Action packed, intresting...and most of all NO SPOILERS! A trailer is for the fun, it's not about learning new things! Thats when the bloody demo's and live conferences come in and then you can have all the gameplay you want. Actually this trailer gave more info than the first DA:O trailer did, but nooo. People don't bother watching THAT do they?

First Dragon age: Origins trailer (or one of the first).

If people stopped worrying and ****ing about "OMG MASS EFFECT" and clamed down and read that "ONLY A FEW" stuff from ME is coming to DA. What a dialouge wheel and a voice actor is going to ruin the "immersion" for you.

A first trailer is supposed to get you pumped, ready and hungry for more! Plus Dragon Age gameplay wouldn't be apporpeate for a first trailer. The combat for it is not really your "OMG NINJAZZ" style thing. It's more tactiful thus, more slower and not good for advertising.

So chill out, smoke a joint or yoga, what ever...I'm sure this game will have all the good elements from DA and ME put into one. And Bioware made witty comments for Hawke! Say Hooray if you support Alistair Hawke!

Have you ever played NWN? There were tons of classes and races, character background was awesome i just want to see some of that stuff in Dragon Age. And we are talking about Bioware they can handle stuff like hiring more voice actors. Hell just making human race playablei, no rpg in that you're just controlling some character that was given to you. And hiring voice actors for every race and gender can be handled if you worry about the size just make it downloadble and we are done. But noo now that Bioware got the money they can be lazy.

I would be happy if we could choose through a few voices for our main character. We could sorta do that in DA:O and it shouldn't be that hard to do with a fully voiced character.

No way. Each voice is a full character VO file. Memory space, which can be quite a limit in consoles.

Hmm, so they don't do multiple voice choices because of consoles? Perhaps there is more behind this...I wonder how long of a process they go through to pick a voice actor for a game.

Uhm....

Why.... do the qunari look like a horned Witcher? He even MOVES like the Witcher.

Anyway, I don't see ANY DA in this, however cool it may be.

Qunari have horns, its just some don't. I for one like that the qunari look different as opposed to being taller humans.

If you don't see any DA in this then...You have lost your faith.

My top 3 Theories:



Hawke is:

1) Son of the Warden and Morrigan With the Arch daemon's Soul. Body prematurely aged.

2) Hawke is the Body that Flemeth Fled to after her dragon form was destroyed (Possibly a brother of Morrigan)

3) Hawke is possesed by the spirit of a dragon, or is in fact a Dragon that has taken on Human form.

Option 1 has been disproven as the start of DA2 has hawke running out of Lothering as the Dark Spawn attack, which is WAY before the dark ritual.

Option 2, again, before it happened in DA:O

Option 3, seems highly unlikely but some spiritual draggony possession goodness would be interesting, Hawke needs some sort of special ability to make him "The Most Important Character in Dragon Age"

Actually none of the options could be dis-proven by starting it in Lothering.



1) Could be a different Assault on Lothering than in the first game. Or some sort of time travel I think the time flow in the fade is different so it could account for this.



2) It doesn't mean he starts the game with powers of flemeth. He could go right on up as a semi-normal human up until the point that the Warden Kills Flemeth's current body causing her to appear to Hawke in Spirit form.

Then i shall disprove your flemeth possession with the fact she is alive in DA2, unless you are refering to her possessing him way later in the game...



As for the lothering thing, that is stretching it a little considering Dev's have said DA2 is starting early in DA:O as the blight kills lothering. What your suggesting is a second blight.

"As the Grey Warden from Dragon Age: Origins was
fighting darkspawn, Hawke was living in Lothering. Fans will remember
that the small village was raided and destroyed (an event that occurred
off-screen in Origins), and Hawke was one of the survivors."

Safe to say it was the attack in the first game. The other part of that theory is highly speculative.

All theories at this point are highly speculative.:lol:

My top theory is that he's Morrigan's brother, partially raised and tutored by Flemeth. And that when her body is destroyed (likely early or midpoint in DA2) Her spirit flees to Hawke and fuses with his body.

That is assuming if your warden killed her in DA:O.

They could make that a nontransferrable item from the game and acannonize it.

Or make it so that if you killed her in the first game you come upon her corpse. If not, you have to fight and kill her as Hawke.

Hawke's armored arm is mightily similar in shape to Flemeth's in this concept art and screenshot:

In terms of Awakenings...

It may have changed since then. Anyways it's not my top theory.

The Morrigan's Brother theory is...

Character background was awesome in NWN?  Maybe in some fan-made mods it was.  As for the official games, it wasn't really there at all (which isn't good or bad, my point is that it wasn't like DA:O).

NWN had tons of races and classes because it was based off of 3E D&D.  If I recall correctly, people complained about how DA:O (not a D&D game) didn't give them as much variety.

Not to mention that the devs have stated outright that Hawke isn't Morrigan's godbaby...and the godbaby won't exist in every game, just the ones based on games where the Warden took the Dark Ritual.

Also, Hawke starts off with a family--we know she has a mother, a sister and a brother.  The theory about her being raised by Flemeth is far-fetched to say the least.
