Why are people so obsessed with seeing the Warden again? Why does every fantasy series have to be about one guy instead of telling different stories throughout the world?

In other words, why do you all want more of the same we have seen for years?
 


Nice to catch up on old acquaintances? Don't pretend that you weren't pleased to see Zevran outside Kirkwall. Well, it definitely wasn't a dagger in my pocket. ;)

Agree that the Warden's story has been told already, but the writers clearly want us to know that the Chantry thinks that he and Hawke are key to averting disaster. Whether it's on or off screen, it looks likely that they're going to be influential in future storylines. Seeing that Bioware know how popular cameos would be, they must at least be thinking about it.

Speaking for myself, a smal part of me wishes for the chance to use my Warden again.

But a bigger part wants to see Tevinter (i imagine their version of Templars must look insane), or failing that, fly a Griffen (i dont care they are extinct lol)




lol, me too, me too Image IPB

*cough, cough*
All magic is meant to return and there could be a hidden nest I mean they believed Dragons were extinct so why not (a case of wishful thinging)

I enjoyed the wardens tale much more then Hawk's, but there is obviously some importance for both. I think they should do something like they did for mass effect 2, for the warden from origins. He/she suffers some kind of accident with memory loss so there is some kind of excuse for the warden's apperance and ability changes and they can add a voice to them. I wouldnt want to completely cut out hawk though. For me, the perfect outcome would be splitting DA3 into 2 stories where the warden and hawk lead different paths (which you alternate between playing the warden and hawk), but evenutally join eachother to take down Flemeth or whoever the big boss is gonna be. I would be completely heartbroken if the warden is not playable in DA3.

I defently think they should bring in griffons either do a pre-equal or find one that has been preserved in a cave or in the deep roads,I also agree the tevinter would be a good place to go next with our warden and I want to see more templar gear weapons armor and helmet this time as not in DA2.

Didn't read the whole thread, to lazy, lol. But in reply to the opening post,  how can the warden come back, he could have made the ultimate sacrifice in the first one.

Count me as one who'd love to see 'em back. Hawke was...alright. But the thing which struck me throughout DA2 was every mention of the Warden and their deeds. Not just the ripples the character sends off, but that feeling of, for lack of a better description, your character being so highly regarded even in this other guy's game. Even in the end it's like, "Hawke is gone...ok...?" before putting on a Sandal voice and proclaiming, "WARDEN?! WARDEN!"

I also wouldn't count out the possibility of seeing the character return as playable in the future. Just look at this topic alone. Look at everyone gathering onto the official DA2 board, stating how they miss the character. Like it or not, the character hit a note with a lot of people. The Warden was not only their introduction to the world, but their own personal epic level badass of it. Bring the Warden back and the advertising almost works for itself. I can almost see the teaser already. A silhouette in heavy armor standing in a darkened room beside a broken mirror. A narrator talking about the predicted troubles of the age of dragons coming to the fore as flashes of demons, templars, mages, darkspawn, qunari and battles between Fereldans and Orlesians flash in. The narrator ends with something along the lines of, "some believe only HE can bring peace back to the world." The silhouette turns, walks towards the camera and for a brief moment we see the Grey Warden crest etched across his chestplate.

For those of you saying it would take too long to fully voice the Warden; What do you think Bioware is doing with The Old Republic?

If I had to guess, that game would take, at the very least, 16 voice actors ALONE just for the player characters. I have enough faith in Bioware to round up some voice Actors to play the Warden.

But yeah, I agree. Disregard Hawke, Acquire Warden. Dragon Age doesn't need a poster boy. It's good for Mass Effect, but it just doesn't fly in DAO because of the way it was designed.

(And for those of you who killed your Warden in the first game, you can always bring back the Orlesian Warden from Awakening.)


I do like the idea of DA3 having an alternating storyline between Hawke and the Warden, though. I think that would be something new for Bioware, and an interesting way to play one of their games. (Since it's usually focused on one character.)

The Warden has too many endings.

Anything Bioware does with him will ****** off the fans. 'but my Warden was doing xxx, why is he suddenly in xxx! a 2 minute blurb is not enough!'

I say they shouldn't bother.

Personal fantasies about how the Warden started a muffin shop in Antiva with Zevran or whatever have 
no bearing on what the writer's want to do. As for the epilogues, they've already shown themselves more than willing to disregard them if it suits the direction they want to take the story, not to mention events that the player might have directly controlled (see: Leliana's fixed appearance in DA2).

Yeah, and you can't please everybody. I'm sure they could work it to where the Warden comes back quite easily with a 30 minute introduction depending on what happened in origins/awakening.

I would rather have multi dialog system like KOTOR and DA:O than the water down DA2/Mass Effect wheel.

Dragon age doesn't has to be "Mass Effectivelize"

If they were to use Hawke in a DA3 with the Warden, I'd find it hard to see Hawke as a companion, because Hawke could have three different personalities. Yes you'd occasionally choose different dialogue, but you'd usually go for Good, Evil, or Funny. I want to see Hawke in another, his story isn't finished.

Now to the Warden. His story did pretty much finish. There are still parts he can be used in, and I really want him to end up with his romance in the end, but I don't see him as a main character anymore. I think he would maintain his awesomeness, just by making appearances, and saving Hawkes ass xD

I'm pulling for a new hero, personally. I like both the Warden and Hawke, but variety is the spice of life!

Undead? Cursed Darkspawn? Abomination? Days of our Lives type revival? just how would you accomplish this? may as well say bring back Loghain. Then again I did chop that Seeker into Pasta sauce during ashes and she came back (But that was annoying, wanted to make her sauce again and game would not let, stupid Orlesan cow)

The problem is the warden has too many canonical endings. My canon warden is busy ruling a kingdom with Anora, he has no time for adventure.

Damn, that would be awesome.  It would seriously give their marketing team something to work with.  Gotta say, I'd be pretty excited to see something like that.

Those kinds of things can be taken care of in the beginning.  After that it doesn't really matter and only a few lines here and there would be needed to aknowledge that the character is king/queen or whatever.  They could do something equivalent to an "origin story" to kick things off.  Depending on how serious the situation is, the Warden may not have much choice but to go out and set things right (or reform things...depending on how you play your Warden).

A story excuse for the warden to return...BS powers go!!! The game starts off with a helmeted or hooded person who is with companions. Group is attack everyone dies covered person is knocked senseless in the very start, and wakes up to a powerful healing mage who asks if they are feeling alright and that they had to remake their face. But person doesn't remember who they are and only has a letter or something thats say there last name...oh and they're in some place other than Ferelden

As long as the sequel uses Hawke or the Warden I will be happy. I don't want another character.

They can use The Warden when it involves Flemeth+Morrigan or Blight and use Hawke for Mages+Templars+Chantry.

They can simply not let someone import their Warden if they're dead.  Much like they're talking about not letting people import their Sheppard if he died in ME2.  Or they can have Flemeth "revive" the Warden or something.  It wouldn't be hard to solve the death problem.  They seem to have no qualms about adjusting that sort of thing if it fits with that they're trying to do.

I think the Warden should come back. Witch Hunt wasn't much of an ending for my character, considering that I did not pursue the Morrigan relationship but I did have Alistair nail her. Besides I still feel that considering the way some games went down He still has his responsibility to help the world as long as he breaths.

A sequel using both Hawke and the Warden would be cool, a bit of a mix between the two, possibly using two different parties which can maybe help eachother from time to time. The Warden can be doing his missions while Hawke is doing his. Like said earlier the Warden dealing with Flemeth/Morrigan while Hawke is dealing with the Chantry issue. Then eventually their problems start coming together towards the end and they join up and fight together. Something along those lines would be cool. Would also please many fans imo. That way you can keep Hawke fans and Warden fans happy.

Me, I would like them to stick with voice acting the main character personally(I hated being a mute in Origins xD), it needs work but has more potential. I'm not fussed with them voice acting the Warden provided it's good.
