I'm glad they aren't doing another Blight. Too much work.



"A Blight's coming!"

"We can't help you because we have our own problems."

*facepalm*



Nah. My real reason has been said: the same story would be boring.

[robotam]

As others have said, I think another Blight would make the game too similar to the previous one.

I think Flemeth is the big bad guy, of the over all dragon age story, but the Mage-Chantry dispute is a pretty cool strugle anyway. Morrigan told us in "Witch Hunt" that it was her mother we should be worried about.

[Xewaka]

Another blight would get boring and repetitive.

[Nuke67]

I think it would have been interesting if the chantry became the main villian, after the blight and the civil war. I could see someone rising to power within it, and use the turmoil of what has happened to try and sieze power. They have their own defacto military force. The Templars.

Or the main hero.  Or Thinks she's the main hero.  Straight up, Flemeth is Old God. you heard it here first.

@OP

The same story just in a different locale wouldn't make sense especially if kill the Architect in DAA. In addition, we're done that in Thedas why have the same story? While lots of darkspawn were fought to a degree it was almost an afterthought to collecting the military force to finally take down the archdemon.



From I've read and seen so far this seems like a much better direction and gives the world of Thedas different issues to deal with other than just a blight.

No, I heard it a year ago.

I'm far more interested in this mage/templar clash and the Thedas' politics than another Blight. If nothing else, I don't want to play another Warden. And my old one has taken early retirement.

[packardbell]

Once you've done one blight.. you've done em all. Would be interesting to see how much damage a blight would do if it gained momentum and took centuries to defeat.. ala the first blight.

[WidowMaker9394]

There's more to the Dragon Age universe than the Blights.



If it was all about the Blights and the Wardens then the games would be incredible shallow and writers tend to avoid making shallow stories. Besides, there's much to support the theory of a threat dwarfing that of a Blight. Flemeth or whatever made the elves ally with the Tevinters in the Brecilian forest, likely.

[Elvis_Mazur]

DA team obviously didn't want to repeat the games so soon.

[LightningSamus]

Why do people think that Dragon Age is all about Grey Wardens?



Don't blights normally happen every few centuries and and Dragon Age had dfeerent Ages, currently the we are in the Dragon Age and the next blight will not be in the Age of the Dragon, it will be in a new ageand the games are called Dragon Age.



You don't know the whole plot to Dragon Age II so i suggest you wait until you have finished the game.

[Fraevar]

Personally I rather like the idea that Thedas is big enough to tell multiple stories from multiple perspectives. As long as they keep this up and don't turn Hawke into the poster-boy/girl for the Dragon Age franchise, I will be happy. I rather like the idea of the whole universe not revolving around one person.

*Spoilers from Awakening* The last blight wasn't a normal blight. As we learned in Awakening it was started by the Architect. Rather then by instinct he found the god by using his intellect. The Blight was an accident. However the evolution of the Darkspawn themselves seems like a far more important revelation and plotdevice. To me this is actually what DA:O was about, not the blight itself.



I hope that the events of DA2 are tied to it. The questions: 'what are darkspawns?' 'Where do they come from?' Etc. these are the questions that keep me interesting. If DA2 turns out to be a standalone story in the same world then I will be disappointed. But it seems that at the end of DA2 something big is about to happen, and the templars are trying to find out how it happened. So maybe DA2 is just another step in the same plot.

Sorry but its already been said the darkspawn will be taking the back seat like the Geth in ME2. Afterall this is not the blight and darkspawn don't typically come out from deep roads when there is no blight.

I think bioware will do this with all their dragon age games. A new story, a new main character.



maybe? i dunno.



Anyway, it doesnt seem like a smaller problem because first we arent dealing with good vs evil, we are dealing with people who will have more of a personality than the archdmon and darkspawn, they wont be just evil, they will be like Logain.

[KnightofPhoenix]

I am much more interested in the concept of Darkspawn awakening rather than the Blight. Another blight would be repetitive and boring. I'd rather fight more complex opponents, in complex situations where all sides have a point. Rather than slaughter mindless beasts.

[Collider]

Another Blight? No thanks.

Dragon Age has more tales to tell.

[XBenotto18]

obviously bioware wants to mix up the story. The Archetic did though predict that their will be one coming soon. Now mabey soon means sometime in 15 years or it could come in 40 years, in the dragon age

[marcusgs221]

since everyone seems to be guessing about the plot maybe Flemith is some form of Andresta and she is the ruler of the black city which is trying to return from the fade. i dont know just like nobody else does. play yhe game before you decide to bash it.

[TheSleazebag]

Flemeth is just a giant red herring and in the third game your protagonist will drink tea with her in the black city while she tells riddling stories about her past

[XBenotto18]

If Flemeth is Andresta, then why are their ashes in the ruins. People torched her to death. I think Flemeth wouldt even come back from that

Flemeth is the Maker himself and really puts the Chantry to shame with all their lies.

Just to clear some things up...I have no problem with more stories in Thedas. Like I said before though, DA2 better not throw a ton more mysteries left unanswered in this game like DA:O did. The Blight is still a huge mystery. I don't like it when my story never has closure. You can make a story with the same basic arcing plot and it be interesting...

The ME franchise entire enemy from the beginning was the Reavers, yet, you never fight them. Did that make ME1/ME2 boring? So, it is entirely possible maybe Flemeth is the original story arc, we just don't know for sure yet.

Bioware doesn't need to milk this franchise into a mystery every single game. This isn't assassin's creed.

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.

'tis true, I meant that for all the progression we made from the old DOS games, it is funny how we seem to still dawdle about in circles. NWN was pretty bad, KotOR had a few good moments otherwise was way too constrained by Star Wars license, Mass Effect 1 and 2 were... Well, action games with some kind of story that didn't make any sense.

DA:O was going to be much better, but it really wasn't. DA2 isn't however aiming to break new ground either. This framed story that they've got going feels old already from the first cut-scene and it was already done better in Alpha Protocol.

[marcusgs221]

I agree about the mystery but they shouldn't just throw everything out there at once there is something to be said for a suspenseful build up. I just hope they don't take the traditional boring route that everyone knows and are sick of.
