The more I hear about a framed narrative, the more I'm fearful the game will be linear in the regard of choices on how to progress through the story itself. While I've had many fears calmed by the news releases and such, I've yet to see anything that suggests differently in this regard.

When you've done Lothering in Origins, you're free to tackle your way around the world however you please and deal with each important plot aspect in whatever order you please. Yet with this ten year timeline, I'm fearful that we're going to be forced into a singular plotline and then advance into another afterwards with a timeskip.

I'll use Origins for an example.

Ostagar / Lothering [Year 1].
You're then put into year 2, stories rise up about werewolves.
Brecilian Forest / Dalish Elves [Year 2]
You've saved the elves (or werewolves), it's now year 3 and you hear rumors of the mage tower and rite of Annulment.
Mage Tower [Year 3].

Repeat this for every event in the game, you're given no choice in the regard of how it plays out itself and you only play the game in a linear fashion dealing with the plot events as they arise.

While it might be just overreacting, is anybody else seeing the ten-year timeline in a similar fashion?

Oh, another panic thread. That's disappointing. I was hoping this was a gathering of people suffering from phobias of perspective drawing. I'll keep searching...

To be honest, this fear only exists due to you using an example (arm wrestling Duncan's beard ontop of the chantry, I beleive) a month or two ago that the game would go where the narrator mentions Duncan's beard and then ingame itself you start hearing rumors of Duncan's beard. It feels to me like it would create a linear plot if it followed like this.

And you think I'm going to reassure you? The collective cries of fear and outrage rising up from the forums spin the turbine that powers my coffee maker. I'm eco-friendly.

I just use it to recharge my iPhone, and occasionally my razor.

With the potential energy this forum has, you could run the LHC at CERN. 

If it made coffee that wasn't decaf, I'd be more than happy to.
