There were some interesting bits of information in the dialogue with King Alistair.

-The blight did heavy damage that remains. We here elsewhere that Lothering remains blighted. (Damn, not enough blight damage in my story even if I gave them a food shortage that might become famine. ;) )

-Problems with Orlais, the danger of an invasion/war. Alistair thinks Celene is trying to prevent it, but Teagan doesn't expect her to be able to stop it, which is interesting, given how powerful she is. He mentions assasinations in Orlais, as well. He was joking when he says it, but Alistair often jokes about things that are both important and true, so did some kind of assasination occur, beginning the trouble?

-Ferelden hasn't been exactly peaceful. Amaranthine was long before this, so what was Alistair talking about?

By the end we also know that the Circle in Ferelden will fall and the mages will rebel. We also know that some templars will, as well, and that the Chantry will distance themselves from the Templars. And we know that the Warden will disappear, even when queen. If the Awakening slides have any truth, which looks more like the case now that the warden disappearing is confirmed, Alistair may, too.

Is there more information about what DA2 means for Ferelden that I missed?

I missed all of this, apparently since I didn't have a King Alistair.
Not a piece of this - except maybe the blighting of Lothering - was in my game.

Well Duncan said it takes decades to recover from a Blight, remember?

You get a letter from him asking that you come to the Vicount's Keep to meet with him near the beginning of Act Three. He's concerned about the situation in Kirkwall. It sounds like he may have been planning to ask you to do something, but Meredith discovers he's there and is yelling at him when we arrive, so he doesn't. That's my interpretation anyway. In any case, he wants you to do what you can to keep Kirkwall stable.

Yeah, I kind of forgot the decades part.... And didn't think it would be as extreme as they made the blighted landscape look in DA2 at all... *Sigh* Maybe I can fix it/handwave it in part two. ;)

Sort of the beginning of Act 3 you get a letter sent by Alistar asking you to meet him in the viscounts keep.

I'm beginning to more than suspect that the EP will take place in Oralis.

Yeah, I think that's likely, at least in part, although I hope some of it will take place in Ferelden. If there is an expansion. They may just move on to DA3. I'm torn. I want some kind of ending to this story, but I'm really hoping that DA3 makes significant changes. I want to know what happens, but I'm not all that interested in actually playing any more DA2. But I digress, and pull my own thread off topic. My bad. We're talking about Ferelden, what might have happened, and what might happen regarding info from DA2....

It pretty much hints for DA3 taking place in Orlais.

Wherever DA3 takes place, it will most likely have you playing one of Cassandra's hunting party.

I'm not so sure about that. It would pretty much tell you that Cassandra dies before you even start the game. I think she'll play a part, but I don't know that it would be as her underling.

Grey Warden Alistair, doesn't really give any information. He helps fight off Qunari in act II. You have to make Anora queen of Ferelden. I imported straight from Witch Hunt DLC. The Alistair my Hawke met was being very cryptic.

I'd love to play in Orlais. It would certainly fit with the trend in the series. You start in the rural boondocks with the barbarians of Fereldan. Move up to the more civilized, but still provincial middle class of Kirkwall, and then...

....finally get to join civilization in the "modern" world of Orlais! :P

A side jaunt into the decadent version of the "modern" world by adventuring in Tevinter would be great as well!

Anything but returning to the flea-ridden hicks of Fereldan.

More on topic, a war of Orlais makes little sense. There were 200 Wardens plus the Orlesian Chevaliers on the border in DA:O. They explicitly didn't enter Fereldan and end the Blight themselves because they respected Fereldan soverignty. Though, I suppose, a lot could change in a decade. Maybe Orlais has decided how foolish it was to care what a bunch of hicks thought when they politely waited on the borders. Maybe Orlais is stinging over how their politeness allowed one of those hicks to go down in the annals of history as a hero. Maybe this is motivating them to reclaim that province so it becomes easy to fudge the history books to make the Warden Orlesian instead. :P

Right now, I don't see any other way of uniting all three factions: Cassandra, Hawke, Warden.

Well, I mean. I can, but this seems like it's the most streamlined way.

Ugh. Don't use that word. It makes my stomach feel bad. ;)

When it comes to writing, the easiest way isn't usually the best or most interesting way.

Would you rather I said compacting? They mean the same thing.

The same applies, although the word doesn't give me hives. ;)

About the idea of DA3 starting with you being a seeker. I think this is likely, we have been given many perspectives in DA, the one of the templars, the one of the mages, the one of Wardens and the one of leaders (sovereignty). But I don't feel that the true ideals and perspective of Chantry has been shown (I see templars as rather separate from the Chantry, like the army and government are not one and the same).

Simplifying the plot, especially if it's big and vast, is not a bad thing. That's how superhero movies work (and why The Avengers may fail - there's no way to simplify that).
