Didn't Bioware say Hawke will be the most important person in DA?

I suspect that's marketing speak to calm fears that DA II won't be EPIK!! enough.

Screw their marketing.

I'm certainly not buying the game because of it. It'll just damage every Bioware game forever if they are allowed to keep this **** up.

[Buffy-Summers]

Then don't play the game.

No, thanks, ill play the game, but I wont join the "oh its perfect and so wonderful crowd"

There are many things i dislike about this sequel and thats just from the released information

I gave Dragon Age : Origin  an 87 score

With the less epic story, the RPG lite feel and the limited locations I hope that it can at least reach DAO's score which I doubt very much

For a game called dragon age, you'd think they'd have more dragons featured.

It's not called Dragon Age because there are dragons everywhere.

Dragons were thought to be extinct, until one showed up at the end of the last Age, and went on a rampage. That is why the next Age was called the Dragon Age.

So, we know the overall story of DA2 will be about the struggle of Mages with the Templars. Doesn't this seem kinda small compared to DA:O? Isn't the Blights basically the great threat in Thedas? Doesn't it seem a small conflict compared to the Blight? I'm worried it will make the story feel less grand and a sense of accomplishment.

 
They are a great threat in Thedas, but they've been around for a long time. And to have three blights in the span of 100 years would seem cheap to me after them taking around 300 to come again before. And fighting the same enemy and repeating the same conflict would get dull. And I don't need to slay an Cthulhu to feel that a gaming experiience was worth it.

Also, I thought it was confirmed somehwere this was going to be a trilogy. How are they going to stick two Blights in the third game? This seems more like a side story when you look at the plot overview...but of course we won't know until we play it.

Nobody has confirmed that from bioware

[ZeroDotZero]

We don't know what heavy decisions Hawke will be forced to make. I am sure the Darkspawn will return one day, and the choices you make as Hawke may affect how Thedas copes with them.

Why would they have another blight already? Plus why would we want to play the same game over and over in a slightly different setting? That would be boring.

Was ME2 and now ME3 boring because it had the same enemy as 1?

Single handedly saving the world should never get boring

[The Elder King]

From the DA lore and in-game explanation (Riordan), after a Blight is finished some centuries passed before another Blight. Although Awakening could give a small hope for another Blight. Still, I like the fact that they changed the story.



Buffy_Summers: in ME the main enemies were the Geth and Saren, in ME2 the Collectors, in ME3 probably the Reapers. In ME-ME2 you don't fight the Reapers, and in ME2 they appeared only at the ending.

It does. And there can be equally thrilling stories where you don't single handedly save the world too, though this may be a foreign concept to you.

I think the enemy we fought the most in ME2 were Blue Suns Mercs. Collectors or the ocasional Geth were a welcome change. This is also what worries me about DA2, that most of the game will be filler when considering the main story arc. Origins had the advantage of being the ntroduction to the world, DA2 should dive into whatever is going to happen.

[Elite Midget]

The Blight wasen't that big of a threat since it was stopped in a years time and only Fereldan and by proxy Orleasia was effected.

Besides.

This is "Dragon Age" not "Blight Age".

Ultima IV is the most ground-breaking RPG in this aspect. I suggest anyone not knowing what I'm saying to read up on it. It's fascinating how much ground Richard Garriot paved for games like Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age, and now Bioware seems to be regressing back to the days of Wizardry for most of their game series.

[LordPaul256]

It seems pretty silly to complain about a story that we haven't even played yet based on what little information we have, though I guess there is some fun in speculation.

What are you talking about? It's the other way around. DA:O had a classical defeat-an-ancient-evil-and-save-the-kingdom/world story, but DA2 won't. It will be a much more personal story, or so they tell us.

Because another blight would be boring. It'd be the same story all over again.

Like I say some people find something to B**ch about  so they can B**ch. 

The Blight was So Yesterday man!

I wouldn't have minded another Blight BUT they would have had to change stuff ALOT, not the same game in a new location. 

[DosyMcAwsome]

Lots of crazy theories here. Anders talked about his year in kirkwall in awakening, plus DA2 and DAO run parralell for a good bit, so they are fighting a surge of blight darkspawn but maybe they quell it with flemeths help before it becomes a true blight. IMO that maybe thats what makes him champion of Kirkwall, and the Qunari invasion.

[UndercoverDoctor]

Another blight would be dumb, the blight in dragon age: origins was a good way of introducing us to the world of dragon age with a big event.

[Jzadek72]

Would that not be dull? Playing the same story over and over and over again? I rather like plot twists. If I know what's going to happen it's hardly interesting. People need to learn that epic scope isn't what makes fantasy good.

EDIT: Plus, if Witch Hunt is anything to go by, the blight is going to seem small compared to what's coming.

Don't you mean Nathaniel Howe?

[Diokletian600]

Considering, while DA was a very good and fun game, how unimpressive the "Blight" was as far as daemon apocalypses go, I don't mind the change of plot at all. Better than fighting zombieorks and an Archdemon with not much personality.

Sure, Awakening was progress in that regard, but still. Admittedly I have doubts about the whole "Hawke will become the most important person" despite spending most of the time in one city-state, but if they make Hawke the prime instigator of change, but not some sort of messianic figure (like they did with Shepard in ME) then I will be fine with that.
