 (Sorry about this, BioWare. I just don't know where I'm supposed to post speculation about future DLC or games. Maybe we should have a Speculation forum.)

Here's my thoughts:

DA 2 DLC/Expansions: It will still star Hawke as the main character, and take place after the main campaign. It practically says so if you load up your "post-campaign" save. It will be about his adventures/escape during the years following the final battle of DA2, but before the final cutscene (which takes place 3 years later, supposedly). The first few will be unconnected adventures about the people he meets. You will get to take your love interest, if you had one, but otherwise you pick up new companions in each DLC pack (like Awakening, Golems, and Witch Hunt did). The last DLC pack or two will be a lead-in to the plot of DA3.

For DA3: You'll be playing as a new character, a Seeker for the Chantry. Considering the "black ops" style of organization they seem to have, they are a perfect fit for a world of adventure like that. And since the seat of the Chantry is in Orlais, it's an obvious starting point (since all evidence points to Orlais as major setting for DA3). They would likely take mages as well as warriors and rogues. There are likely all manner of zealots and jerks, as well as kind and pious members, accounting for the various personality types you can play as. Cassandra and Leliana will be major characters, at least one of them likely to be a companion and/or love interest. It's likely that Sebastian would join the Seekers too, considering his piety, combat skill, and ferocious determination. As a member of the elite arm of the Chantry during this crazy time of war, it seems like there would TONS for you to do. 

Not to mention, it easily gives you a title to be referred to by: The Warden, The Champion, The Seeker.

Thoughts?

I think this is a great idea except for one thing. The only issue with being a seeker is could you still be a mage? Would the Chantry hire a mage as a seeker? I don;t think Bioware would limit us to playing only a rogue or warrior. However, if they wanted to tell the story of the seeker I am sure they could come up with some lore as to why mages can be seekers.....maybe they travel with a templar companion that guards over them.

The DA3 character will probably be a Dwarf, and the trailer will have him be a Rogue as canon.

I couldn't see why not. If you proved yourself devote and willing to follow the divine and maker. It could open up NPC responses of them being wary of you and making comments about how a mage shouldn't work for the chantry if you are a mage. Nothing in lore says that mages cannot work for the chantry or divine, technically, within the Circle they are under Chantry jurisdiction and work for them anyway.

[Potato Cat]

I doubt there will be DLC set after the main campaign, considering where it left off pretty much straight into DA3. It will be set during the time jumps most likely. And I'm hoping most are companion DLCs.

And because there are a LOT of anti-Chantry peoples, we WON'T be a Seeker. They will play an important part, especially Leliana and Cassandra. Though I doubt we'll get both as companions. Also, if all our companions were Seekers, it sort of limits diversity. I'm hoping we'll be an elf this time around, though it's likely we'll be a bloody human again. And I would prefer to start in Tevinter, just me though. Might give an alternate view point since if we're mages, people just seem to hate us.

Bioware could have REALLY taken advantage of the framed narrative and have varric tell some DLC as "stories".


To contrast all this hell that hawke goes through in all the acts. maybe a DLC where Varric completely and totally embellishes a quest.

"Hawke ripped off the Ogre's arms and beat him to death with his own severed elbow, while simultaneously shooting fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts out his ass...." etc.etc.etc.

it wouldn't be canon, but it would be funny and interesting to play with the "Myth" champion that opens the original game. To make it more comedic, maybe have whatever audience is listening constantly interrupt and question Varric's story, forcing him to change details as they progress.

"Ok so it wasn't an ogre... it was a vicious sheep... with ummm.... fangs and claws...no?... I was there! no bull****!"

Another DLC could be what happened during that year with the mercenary/smugglers, it would allow more sibling character development.

I quite like that idea. Like in Heroes or something.

[dewayne31]

DA2 dlc i pretty much agree. but i have feeling we may not get a expanison pack. i think it'll just dlc just me2 was. i also think they got most if not all dlc already planned out.

DA3 I personally see us as Hawke again cleaning up the mess we created mostly likely with cassandra accompanying us possibly your li and sibling if they the game and a few new companions

It's hinted that the templars have split apart from the Chantry as have the Seekers. So being a Seeker doesn't mean pro-Chantry and certainly doesn't mean pro-Templar. Bioware could twist it to make it work, I can think of a number of ways they could. It doesn't limit diversity, it just means that everyone starts at the same point (just like in DA2 we all start running from the darkspawn with our family), from there, Bioware can make the story branch depending on your choices.

 I'm hoping we'll be an elf this time around, though it's likely we'll be a bloody human again. And I would prefer to start in Tevinter, just me though. Might give an alternate view point since if we're mages, people just seem to hate us.

It's likely that character VA is going to stay, which means single race will have to stay as well. And since most people play Human even when given multiple choices, it is likely that we'll play a human again. I personally think that there are more hints pointing to Orlais as the next destination, especially since Bodhan and Sandal are heading there.

[Silveryne]

I'm hoping that it's just DLC and no expansions for DA2. I'm a little concerned that Awakening took away from the DA2 production cycle somehow.

The 1Up interview made it sound like any and all DLC for DA2 will feature Hawke and Co doing stuff, after the action of the game. Which I'm all for.

I'm hoping that DA3 features Hawke or a new character, because I think I'd punch myself in the face if my magewarden was suddenly ressurrected.

[HajinWarrior]

I miss my Warden personally, and would love to have her back. I thought the limitation on character in DA2 as a drawback. I love Hawke but I felt that being forced to play as a human limited the role, but I see the advantage of doing so from a developer/programmer perspective.

Currently' still working my way through Act 2, so can't say much about what will come next but... Awakening was a let down and I would prefer if they just added content to this story/game rather than as -Silveryne- suggested distract themselves from DA3.

Regards;
Hajin

Bring back the warden and have them fully voiced? Would be cool to have my human mage Amell meet his cousin Hawk and Carver. Even introduce his father. Bah it seems the next part can't get here fast enough.

[Nialos]

Grasping at straws, a voiced Warden could be done with two -very- talented voice actors and a pitch alteration option.

Otherwise? I see DLC for DA2 focusing on what Hawke has been doing in his free time since the Gallows incident. DA3? Either Hawke returns or it's another new protagonist - probably voiced and pre-determined.

[Jaldaen]

I'd love to have a DLC that deals with answering the Enigma of Kirwall... there is something very wrong underneath Kirkwall (making the Veil very thin in the city)... and I'd like to know what it is.

[DJ0000]

It sounds as though the Warden and Hawke are connected as at the end Cassandra says that they looked for the Warden first and they dissappeared aswell.

I would like for my Warden to come back and I'd like to play Hawke aswell but both might be weird, trying to play two charecters simultaneously. Though I would love BioWare if they could do it well.

David actually clarified that they never said the Warden disappeared - just that he/she is gone. What 'gone' means can be related to what happened to your Warden: dead, with Morrigan, off doing their own mysterious thing.

It's both an open and closed door, I think, to pick up different threads as they're made relevant.

They mention the Forgotten Ones. Sounds like ancient demons. I'm pretty sure that they were Seekers.

Very good idea though and I kind of expect it now that you mention it.

I have been avoiding reading any story information untill I finished the game about an hour ago. Thanks for the info.

I though mabey someone was gathering hero's. Naturally I assumed Flemeth lol.

[Nialos]

Aren't the Forgotten Ones part of the Elvhen's pantheon?

And hey, Flemeth might be doing just that. That old hag talks -and- does too much.

From what little information we have, this seems to have a very high chance of being a DLC pack. That doesn't mean it will be, of course. There's all sorts of options that may never have even been hinted at. But if the DLC was based on hints in DA2, this seems like a strong one.

I'd love this as a DLC also. I want to find out more about the three merchants (Tomwise, Worthy, and Elegant) that Hawke clearly met first during that period of time. And more sibling development would be great. It could end with Hawke first hearing about Bartrand's expedition.

[SpectreVerner]

So where does the god baby fit into all of this (since it is 10 years later, he could have aged faster).

[Peterlinkdark11]

I think the idea of a seeker will be quite good. You will propebly be a seeker who, with leliana and cassandra, will try to find both the warden and hawke, while in the mist of war. The  game should take place in Orlais, because that is where the center of the chantry is, and how ferelden and orlais might go to war against each other (told to us by king alistair and how the secret letters from king cailen to the emperess might suggest that he wanted to marry er to possibly stop wars from going and creating a more stronger alliance.) Thedragon age franchise doesn't really have to be a trilogy, im guessing DA4 will conclude everything. Also if you are a seeker trying to find the warden, who has information about the eluvian and god baby (due to either reading the book left by morrigan or going with her in witch hunt.) and also what flemmeth plans to do. That's what i hope to be.

Yeah! the merchants, we never found out how they connected with hawke. In particular i'd like to know who elegant married and maybe hawke helped elegant court him, kinda like how hawke helped aveline score donnic.

As part of that DLC maybe we could also help aveline join the guard. As a smuggler or a mercenary you might sabotage her competition, or help her score a few extra points with the guard.

Another lead-in could be the black emporium, maybe hawke gets a few "test" quests from xenon and it is from there that xenon decides hawke is worthy of knowing the emporium's true location.

A lot of backstory can be done in a single year.

[jsamlaw]

I would love for the Bioware team to have enough development time to create two stories: One where you side with the mages and one where you side with the templars, or at the very least two "origin" stories that merge somewhere along the lines. On the one hand you could take orders from the Mage Council that met during the Awakening story, on the other you have the Divine Justina.

The merging could be related to the Flemeth influence (either during the mage/templar conflict, forcing them to temporarily set aside differences to face a powerful foe or after the conflict is over and one side has been wiped out).

The Dragon Age story has a lot of loose ends to tie up...the mage/templar war, Flemeth/Morrigan, Old God baby, Tevinter Imperium/Orlais/Qunari exploration
