As long as DA3 revolves around Morrigan, and the old god baby, im good. It would make more sense now that they have a voiced character, to allow you to import that character directly, instead of just the decisions you made in the game world.

What about the high amount of players who went Ultimate Sacrifice route? Are they barred from the next game just 'cause?

Personally, for DA 3 I'd make the player be a Seeker who picks up on Cass' work to avoid a continental war by putting the gained information to good use.

I hope they make the central issue in DA3 something that isn't a totally optional decision not made by all players (for good reasons).

I think it's time to dust off the old "you were found as a baby and raised by xxx" (like NWN2), it would solve the accent problem with the other races, and allow you to play all races, even with a fully voiced PC.

Just throw in some "you have a strange accent for an elf/dwarf/human" and the problem is solved.

Ok dwarves might sound a little less coarse, but I could live with that.

This.

Also I prefer a new protagonist. One of the better things about Dragon Age when compared to Mass Effect is that it's not tied to revolving around one person. Thedas is a big world, there are many people and many stories to tell. Keep the dynamic going.

I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won' make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

Does anyone else feel like there's a bigger story arc than just the Ferelden Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall? It seems like they have a big idea of where they're taking the series and we're going to be seeing it through a number of eyes. It's the Dragon Age, after all, so I feel like there are going to be a lot of real big shiz going down in Thedas before it's through. Not just the internal strifes that we've seen in DAO and what it seems DA2 is about. And that son of a gun Flemeth has got a lot to do with it.


I agree. What began with wars between Tivinter and Seheron and Nevarra and Orlais now has the Circle of Magi seeking independance from the Templar Order and the Grey Wardens ruling a large part of Ferelden. Flemeth so far has been behind the latter two events given that she chose the previous two protagonists. Odds are, she wants to use both the Grey Wardens and the Circle for her own ends.

Now lets look at the only force opposed to Flemeth. Morrigan is currently in hiding behind the Eluvian although she is making appearances in the court of Orlais. My guess is that Flemeth wants to use Nevarra as part of her plan and Cassandra has something to do with it since she's part of the royal family. Morrigan also appears to get pregnant even if her ritual is refused which means that she's clearly wanting to be the mother to a magical child. Given that her bloodline is naturally predisposed to magic, Flemeth's descendants have some role to play with regards to her own rise or downfall.

Now let's look at one conflict that's less obvious. Flemeth would naturally want to usurp the power of the Tevinter magisters which would natually make Morrigan want to ally herself with the Qunari much as she allied herself with Orlais. Given that all of Ferelden under the rule of the chantry is either at war or the brink of it by the end of DA2, the most logical place to set DA3 is either Tivinter or Seheron. It's perfect for a DA setting since there is no clear cut good or evil. The Imperium is incredibly racist and would sell the Qunari into slavery should they win the war. On the other hand the Qunari would create an authoritarian dictatorship should they conquer the Imperium and subjugate the mages in the only land where they have freedom. Now there could be a means of forging peace between the two nations but that would require doing everything right in a certain way and would probably only stregthen Flemeth's power in the long run.

I like the thought of that (although I was incredible attached to my Warden and I'm already way more attached to Hawke and I haven't even played the game yet...)
As long as those games are still connected (like Origins and DA2) and we maybe even see a few characters again...

As long as Flemeth is pulling the stongs, they're connected. I still say that she wants to use the Grey Wardens, Circle, Nevarra and possibly Tivinter for her own ends.

Im talking about importing Hawke into DA3, so I dont know what you're talking about.

Maybe you should read your own posts. I highlighted what I reffered to. Why should DA 3 be about something that didn't happen?

I think in Dragon Age III we should get a new protagonist named Stryfe because it's sounds cool

2 words:
Lady Hawke

When I started the demo and picked up the male version it was like "wtf he doesn't look like that on the advertisements". He reminded me a caveman... seriously. When I was watching those CGI's I was rly hyped about him, but the way they made him look ingame... He was so badass! Now he seems... OLD. Not to mention his voice...

After trying the female, warrior one I already knew what I gonna play after the release. I rly belive they made a wrong decision by choosing Garrett Hawke over Marian.
Well the game is not out yet. Maybe they'll decide to make a change :P .

Anyway... my personal opinion is that they shouldn't switch the main protagonist each time the new game comes out. It bothers me what happened to the Warden Commander. DA2 main protagonist and his story made him irrelevant (inferior maybe?). We don't know how the game will end but for the moment it feels that way.

A good game Hero is the one that you sympathise with and wanna know his story better. Different ones in each game won't make it easier.

I agree, that would be awesome. I want to see the rest of the DA world but don’t care about playing the same character thru a series. Tho I suspect DA2 ends on cliff-hanger so we might being playing Hawke again in the next game. Still might be be another country tho. (Yes I am aware that is just speculation abased on very little). It would also help keep each game fresh

It seems clear that DA3 will be a direct sequel in much the same area (hopefully taking in a bit more territory).

However, I agree that I'd rather see Hawke reappear in a mentor or narrator role than as a returning PC.

It would be cool to hear one of three different versions of the narration for a scene depending on the tone of the character you developed in DA2.

i think there should be several origins...perhaps not SIX, but at least maybe 3, one of them definitely being the OGB, and the other 2 for the tasteless mooks who didn't do the dark ritual and decided to die like fools.=]

I think so, too. Therefore I would like to play my DAO Warden again. I feel more attached to my warden then to Hawke. Also I would love to find out more about Weisshaupt.

I don't know. I can't answer that until I play DA2 and decide how much I like Hawke.

I also thought about this solution. It would make a lot of people satisfied I think- I would like to have the option to play as the Warden/Hawke or someone new. That would be awesome.:happy:

If Hawke is in DA3 I definitely won't be buying no matter how amazing it is. I'm going to buy DA2 but only because of the demo, it sounded pretty jank to me before I played the demo. In DA3 I want the customizable races back, and I would love for it to take place in Antiva. I like the idea of a rookie Crow but then I feel like your class would be locked into a rogue assassin. Either way I DO NOT WANT HAWKE in DA3.

I agree, if anything i would want to bring my Warden back, not Hawke. I don't like the voice actor at all and I know I won't be attached to him at all.

I like the concpt of the overlapping story lines with different characters intorduced for DA2. Of course it remains to be seen how it is executed but I have high hopes. I personally tend to burn out on a give character somewhere in the 60 to 80 hours of gameplay range so after Origins and Awakening I am ready for something different.
