So Hawke just kinda walks out of kirkwall and disappears just like the warde for DA:O, Kinda a cliff hanger. However i believe that hawke and the warden will be coming back atleast that is what the ending hints to. now taking information from all the games i would have to say that the next game is going to be about the war with the templars again, but we cant forget the Quinari boss said they would come back. so im guessing that the warden and the champion of kirkwall will team up to stop the needless fighting between the templars and mages to restore order so that they can create an army to face the quinari, then after that war they will have to face an even bigger threat one from the black city like the architect or someone. all im sayin is that i would really like to see a continuation of both story lines instead of another breakoff story also i would like to see some improvements to the game such as bringing back the camp it was so much easier to equip everyone at camp. please reply with your opinions i reall liked both games and considering it only took about a year or so to make the sequel people need to stop complaining about the new engine and travel options cause in all honesty we know DAII is a great game all of us game lovers and haters alike.

P.S. excuse the grammer/ spelling mistakes i am typing this very quickly in class

Firstly, I believe the central plot is bigger than mages and templars. Its true that mages and templars will fight eachother, i dont think thatll be the central point. I think there are much bigger things at play here than templars and mages. Such as - Flemeth...She is covered in a veil of mist...her intentions aare unknown and so is her role....in both DA:O and DA2...shes initiated both protagonists to the quest....on top of that in DA2...king of ferelden mentions problems with orlais (assasinations and whatnot)...Either way....similar to how DA:O orignated the warden...DA2 orignated the champion....and it seems like these two will play a major role in what is to come..

There are various instances where the story piqued my interest, such as when alistair (king of ferelden, alistair in my game) visits, he mentions problems relating orlais and the hero of ferelden reaching denerim (act 3)....so clearly the warden's location was known right about when DA2 was ending....and jus about when hawke disappears so does the warden....definetely worth waiting for....

So couple of questions to look out for...

-What happened between orlais and ferelden during dragon age 2?
-What was 'the warden' (hero of ferelden) upto during the period of dragon age 2?
-What were the grey wardens upto during DA2? What have they been investigating? (during DA2 at end of act2, -when pprotagonist party meet grey wardens, there the wardens mention something about a problem or mission that they have)
-Where have the champion of kirkwall and hero of ferelden disappeared off to?
-Does the mirror of eluvian have something to do with their disappearance? (merill had a mirror and so did morrigan (in her dlc apparantly) [ In my storylines both my heroes (warden and hawke) ended up with morrigan and merill respectively, however, I didnt play awakening or the dlc so moriggan left at the end of da:o, so there a lot of uncertainties]
-Will DA3 have a new protagonist like DA2? Will it be warden and morrigan's son? or hawke and merill's son (provided if they have one)? (or choice between either)?
-What role does Flemeth have to play in this?
-Who are the interrogators? Seems like Leilina is leading them....What is she upto?

So from what I see....There are a few individuals who'll shape the future of DA. - The warden, Hawke, morrigan, Flemeth, Lelina, Alistair, Varric....maybe a few others....

Hmm i see what your saying there i do agree flemeth and morrigan will be a big part of the next game didnt cath the part about orlais and i never played the DLC (morrigan) but i did play awakening and that gives you a better backround on the darkspawn morrigan doesnt show up. all im saying is someone should write a book about this game it would be as epic as the lord of the rings lol. any way keep posting some speculations this topic definantly intrigues me.

The next game is likely to have our Grey Warden heroes return. Throughout this entire game, you can feel the influence of your Grey Warden as you do various quests. There was one with letters, and you receive a thank you for your discretion from your old hero. Nathanial was sent in personally by the Hero of Fereldan, he said so himself.

Next game is going to have a similar timed arc with this, I bet. We'll see our hero as they do stuff in either Antiva or Orlais, or even Fereldan, and hear about what Hawke does. Then Hawke goes to meet him and they meet Flemeth again or something.

[SMTPersona]

Yeah I get what you guys are saying, I feel the same way. But I was wondering, did you guys wonder who's the 'he' Leliana was talking about at the end cutscene when she said something like 'Its up to HIM then', or something like that? I'm wondering who this person is. Maybe 'he' is the main character for the sequel? It seems like the most likely scenario, unless Leliana was talking about the Champion or Warden, which is unlikely, as the sentence structure from when I heard Leliana talk about 'him' doesn't seem to be pointing to the Champion nor the Warden. Could 'he' be the person to solve the mystery of the missing Warden and Champion? Or would 'he' himself also end up disappearing, but was able to leave a trail for Leliana and the other people who want to find the Champion or Warden. And also, why did Varric say that all of the Champion's companions, except Isabela, all left him for various unknown reasons? I mean, my Champion only went to bed with Isabela once, other than that, my Champion romanced Merrill, she moved in with him, they were as good as married. Why would Merrill leave him? His the ONLY person she trusts and loves! MY CHAMPION! HOW COULD SHE LEAVE HER??!! Oops, got a little carried away, but you get my point. This is one of the only point of the ending which I'm upset about. If Merrill AND Isabela stayed with the Champion, I wouldn't mind it, my champion would be a happy guy! Damn.. Too many questions...

One more thing, someone who posted above asked if DA3 would have Warden and Morrigan or Champion and Merrill's son/daughter would be the new main character. I don't think its likely, unless they decide to make Leliana and her company of people searching for the Champion and Warden search for 10 more years after the story of Dragon Age 2 fruitlessly, in order to let the son/daughter of the above mentioned grow up into a young adult, which would seem odd and unlikely, then yes, the son/daughter would be the main characters. But then again, this is just my speculation. I could be wrong in my judgement.

But at least  this cliffhanger tells us that there will be a continuation to the Dragon Age series. Or maybe many, many more continuations. Which would be a good thing, of course!

At first, when I read on the forums about how the ending was a cliffhanger, I was kinda disappointed at the story that Bioware was trying to tell here. But after playing through this game and completing it myself, I watched the ending, and realised that it wasn't too bad of a story. The cliffhanger element made the ending, and even the whole story, more intriguing, and it invoked quite a number of questions about Dragon Age 2, in addition to the questions that followed after Origins and its expansions and DLCs. This, in a way, shows that Bioware is actually doing a good job with its storylines in their games, and their story telling. It seems that the disappearances of the Champion and Warden are related, indicating that Bioware is actually looking at the Dragon Age Franchise on a whole, and not just looking at Origins as a story by itself in the Dragon Age Universe and Dragon Age 2 as a story in the Dragon Age Universe by itself. I say this because even from Origins, Bioware was already thinking of making the Warden disappear, and then make the Champion disappear in DA2 due to unknown reasons, and this shroud of questions would slowly be answered within the next few games of the Dragon Age Franchise.

All in all, I believe, and strongly hope that the Dragon Age Franchise would not end at the 3rd or 4th series. It seems that the Dragon Age Universe is so big that it can have many great sequels, which I'd look forward to. And I just wanted to say that although the storyline and story telling of Dragon Age 2 can be improved, it is still a great story, which Bioware has delivered. I'm just saying this because as at first, I felt like the other players who felt that this game doesn't have a good ending/storyline. Sure, it may not be as epic as Origins, but Dragon Age 2 still has a great story which had great story telling.

Sorry for digressing, I just had to get those feelings outta my head But read only my first paragraph if you do not have the patience to read through my.. Digression, to find out what are my speculations!

She says "It's up to the Maker now. We put our faith in Him." So it's obvious she's not referring to a person.

[Netzach]

Next Dragon Age will be in Orlais. No doubt. Because Sandal is going there.

Oh and about what going on, well, i thing there will be another Blight soon, and it will take place in the middle of the current conflict (with the chantry falling apart). It will hit hard, and not only in one Kingdom, but the whole continent.

Yeah I agree with that, Sandal's part is getting bigger. I suspect at some point he'll become a party member.

I thought that too. I think Bodahn and sandal will be a staple in the DA games.

would like to see Hawke and the warden back.But the warden really needs to be voiced.
plus paying two lead voice actors may not work with biowares budget as they'd have to cut down a lot of companions to do so.

[The Angry One]

Two lead voice actors? Bare minimum 4 for warden + hawke. Now add 2 for each race.

you could always use the same VA for every race, and just use a deeper voice for male and a higher voice for female.

true that. one voice for all races would do but having a mute warden would really be a step back after having hawke voiced

I actually thought of something that might work for a voiced Warden. In character Creation, for each race and gender there were what, 6 different voices? Assuming of course they are all different VAs. so that's 36 total VAs if that's the case.

I say, pull 2 or 3 of those VAs and have them fully voice the Wardens of each race. You picked your voice in CC there, so it would be the same here, except you could hear him/her outside of combat and in cutscenes!

Hopefully I explained this clearly, because to me it looks like a bunch of jibber-jabber stuff.


It'll be interesting to see what becomes of this new war, one that even the Templars have abandoned the Chantry for.


EDIT: scratch the elf warden voices. I didn't like any of them and I don't know if they could pull off Welsh.

I suppose you could maybe get away with voice changing the same VA with regards to humans and dwarves.
The problem is, elves have distinct accents from everyone else (they sound American) and now DA2 has gone and compounded this by making Dalish elves sound Irish and Welsh.

I'm just saying it would either sound bad or take a lot of work. Now, if they *did* pull it off it would be GREAT.

could work only problem is thats still a lot of actors to pay also a lot of the voices were ok for random one liners but for a lead role......they weren't that great.They really need one high quality male and female actor like they had with hawke. I know elves sound american and dalish are irish but if they had to they'd probebly get away with it.

[TEWR]

yea that's the problem I thought of. It might also cost resources, but I don't really know

well the only voice I definitely want to see from CC return is the Dwarf male voice that's all gravel-like and rough that says "Perhaps we should take the time to review what we've learned" and "I swear when this is over...."

Oh and one of the Human Male voices. I can't remember any lines the voice said though. Human Noble and Dwarf Noble were my most played Origins, though for Hawke's sake I made a Human Mage playthrough.

must've been awkward for Hawke when Isabella said "I even met the Hero of Ferelden, if you know what I mean."

my idea does seem sound in theory, but in practice might not go so well. so as long as I get my Dwarf voice I'm happy.

You could probably get away with four by saying a Dalish elf Warden has spent so much time away from their clan that their accent has morphed into the midwestern accent of the elves and dwarves.

Easiest solution if the Warden were to come back is to simply not voice him/her, imagine that! Not only would you have more budget to spend on more NPC conversations but you'd likely have more dialogue/persuade possibilities and branching with the dialogue.

easiest yes. the best? no not really imo. The warden was never really a silent hero so it would be a step backwards. By picking his/her battle voice, you gave him/her the voice that other people heard when he/she said something.

The wheel is a greater limitation on that than the actual voicing of the protaganist, imo.
