In comparison to the original, the story arc was much more linear for the first 4-5 hours that was played through. The world is much darker than it was in the first, but BioWare promises that it’ll be a much more reactive story that changes with choices.
Starting out the game, players are tasked to select from three builds to carry over from the first game if they don’t have a save to upload. The three builds are as follows verbatim:
“Hero of Ferelden” (Default )
Ended Fifth Blight by killing Archdemon and survived. Placed Alistair on the throne.
“The Martyr”
Young Dalish Elf who died to kill the Archdemon. She left the kingdom ruled by Alisair and Anora.
“No Compromise”
Dwarven noble took command of Grey Wardens. Exalted Alistair, sent Loghain to his death against Archdemon, and left Anora as Ferelden’s ruler.
It’s evident that the actions from Dragon Age: Origins won’t simply be forgotten. The Qunari come back redesigned and more stylized than ever. The Grey Wardens show their mug from time to time, but BioWare has made it clear that their story has come and past as of right now.
Unfortunately, there were many times the music and sound effects took the experience and removed it from the high fantasy theme. When entering the character tree, there’s an Inception-like science-fiction echo that is harrowing enough to stick out like a sore thumb.
So the default world state is that the Warden survived killing the Archdemon and Alistair is king....hmmm...is the Dark Ritual the default choice then? Old God Baby for DA3???
