Since the decisions in DAO really had little difference on the game. I finished my second playthrough and really there was not very much from the different imports that changed the game. One import I even forgot to get Lelianna yet she showed up in DA2 and even was referred to as "THE Lelianna that helped the Warden" but the import didn't have her.

So now one playthrough I wasted the Dalish Elves because of Merrill but the second one I didn't do that mission so they would still be alive. So in DA3 will they be auto-dead like Lelianna was auto-helper of the Warden?

It's sad that the Dalish didn't have the land that my Warden asked for them though. First they get screwed out of their property then they get killed. I just couldn't do that to them the second time around. Dalish just can't find a break in Bioware's games.

What decisions was there really that would carry over. All the important stuff in the game was decided for you. Only thing I can think of is if you single dueled the Arishok or if you turned Isabela over. Maybe who you pick to side with at the end but the way that turns out I don't see why. I guess the seeker does mention it at the end.

[Morogrem]

my only hope is that, with the war, the decisions will have far more impact than just "do I or don't I want to see this character again" cause those were the only choices in the game that I remember.

[TJPags]

Meh - maybe.

If Bioware decides certain decisions are important, they will become canon. Otherwise, we'll likely get the same gratuitous things we got in DA2 - mention of the Hero of Ferelden being an elf, or king/queen, seeing some random Harrowmout running from Bhelen fanatics, hearing about decreasing pigeon populations, etc.

i hope if you have saved your siblings that carry over that alive and with you. i think add more to the story if play hawke. your not thinking your thinking bout too

[PirateT138]

Here's hoping, but first they need to fix the save-game importing so that choices made in 3 are (even if only in small ways) still referenced correctly.

I stabbed the hell out of Zev and yet, poof, there he is in 2.

I have a feeling this will happen again. I did that to Anders in DA2 but when Varris finishing up, he mentioned Anders was the only one that didn't leave Hawke. So not looking good if even this game can't understand "He's dead, Jim"

[Foolsfolly]

[snarky]It will if that's the story BioWare wants to tell[/snark].

But likely not. The ending for DA2 is the same regardless of choice. If the next game takes place away from the Free Marches and has nothing to do with Hawke then there's really nothing from DA2 choice wise that will affect anything in 3.

In the end, this game's just kinda there. The trailer and demo told us the whole story when Varric said 3 minutes into the game "Chantry's in ruins, Circles are in revolt, and the whole world's on the brink of war."

The game's a trailer for DA3.

[dewayne31]

i suspect we'll be hawke one more just see the war thru. i bet hawke is in orlais hiding. under the chantry noses

[just.a.dude]

In the next game the PC will be Sandal. So you can choose between Enchantment, Enchantment, Enchantment.

[Merced652]

What the hell kind of question is this? Anything other than your complete and utter ability to be railroaded doesn't give the writers enough latitude to write the story they want.

[Dark Specie]

Let's see, the things I can imagine being carried over are:

- Which side Hawke supported.

- Which if any of Hawkes siblings that survived and whether they joined the Circle/Templars or the Wardens.

- Whether you turned over Isabela ot not, whether you duelled the Arishok or not, whether the Arishok's respect was gained or not and whether Isabela returned with the book or not.

- Whether you turned Fenris over or not.

- What happened to Feynriel.

- Whether Anders was killed or not (sure others can be killed or not too, but Anders is the only one I could see becoming a major figure in the following mage/templar conflict if allowed to live).

[Foolsfolly]

Whether you turned over Isabela ot not

If you turn Isabela in she escapes and steals the book again. No one can die except Hawkes and Anders, odd enough.

[Kenshen]

Well Fenris can also turn on you and be forced to kill him. Except for Anders all the other companions are small fries so I doubt anything would carry over from that.

[Foolsfolly]

I agree. What does it matter if Isabela kept the book or not? It's not like she's some major player in the world. She's a 'friendly' pirate who can't steal a boat for 7 years.

Merrill, though, she's the one I want to see come back. She's the only interesting character who has a future in front of her...unless they pull an Anders and give us a massive character shift. You know, so massive that it may as well be a completely different character.

If you romanced Anders it will say that no matter what, it said Isabela and Merrill stayed with my mage.

[PlagueDoctor]

I personally like the way they just take little things to make it your own little world in a way. Quite different from Mass Effect.

Seriously? I sure hope that's a mistake and that they're gonna fix that, because there's no purpose in giving us choices only to retcon them a game or two later.

I guess the rule of thumb is to try to keep everyone alive (if you don't want them, send them off rather than kill them) if you want to avoid necromancy retcons.

That's what Varric tells you as far as I've heard, and he's not certain if it's true or not.

Oh, Isabela keeping the book could very well have consequences. Now, see, with the Llomerryn Accord broken and chaos breaking out in Thedas as the Mage/Templar was is starting, the Qunari might well take the chance to invade Thedas again. Now, do you remember what Isabela were orifinally going to do with the book? Give it to Castillon, whose intention is to sell the relic to the Tevinter Imperium, who wants the book to demoralize the Quanri! So, if Isabela doesn't return with the Time, it's likely going to end up in Tevinter.. So if the Qunari indeed attacks Thedas again, one can guess that if the Tevinters have the book, it's there that the hammer blow of the Qunari invasion will strike the hardest, as they'll try to regain their holy relic. In return, the rest of Thedas may experience a comparably light invasion, one that'll be more easily resisted/ousted...

[Foolsfolly]

Oh, Isabela keeping the book could very well have consequences.

And if she comes back we kill the Arishok and/or all the Qunari in the Keep. The book was merely a McGuffin and likely will never be referenced again. I mean if you refuse the duel and kill all the Qunari in the Keep...who keeps the book then?

Isabela, possibly. Or maybe Hawke sent it back to Par Vollen along with a nice note (Hello! Here's your book. Please don't come invading again. Thanks! /Hawke). And you're right, it MAY never be referenced to again... But we don't know that

That's because I wanted the achievement and all the others were taking too long to romance. Anders with his clingy ways put up no resistance at all. First time, last time, only time I will mess with that goob. lol

After the butchering of Anders, I wouldn't put it pass Bioware at this point. With this sequel, I think even with the lack of time to do KotOR 2, Obsidian may have done a better job than Bioware would have.

And makes me worry that TOR will be a bastardized version of the franchise.

Your decisions in DA2 will carry over into the next game.
Based upon your choices either the mages will fight the templars or the templars will fight the mages.
