There are a number of conflicts in Thedas. There's the mage vs templar issue that DA II focused on, but there's also:

Qunari vs Tevinter (and everyone else)
White Chantry vs Black Chantry
Dalish vs Human
Dwarven traditionalists vs Dwarven progressives

If you could pick a conflict you'd love to be the focus of another Dragon Age game, which would it be? You don't need to be realistic. If you'd love a game centered around dwarven politics and the lost city of Kal-Shorak, it doesn't matter if you don't think BioWare would base a game around them.

I'd love to see a game centered in the jungle cities of Saheron with the Qunari on one side, the Teventer on the other, and the natives struggling to free themselves from both.

[CloudOfShadows]

Oh. I really like your idea.

My personal favorite would be starting as a slave in Tevinter, though. And then the option to support the 'black divine' or help an invasion. That'd be epic - and personal. I didn't even think to bring the Qunari in, but that'd be an awesome third party.

Kind of like the "Good" (white chantry on the march since DA2), the "bad" (tevinter chantry and its magisters) and the "ugly" (the rule-obsessed qunari).

Anyhow, that's the conflict I'd like to see more of.

I wasn't sure and then I read this.

If the game is set somewhere in or near Tevinter, we could see the chantries, Qunari/Tevinter and a possible visit to Kal Sharok.

I'd probably choose Qunari/Tevinter as the main conflict, making the black chantry asking for aid a way to go into the rivalries between chantries.

[Camenae]

I'd like to see more of the conflict between the Black and White Divines.

[jlb524]

I like White Chantry vs Black Chantry.

Orlais vs. Tevinter...I would like to travel to both of these lands in the future.

I like the idea of general public learning about the exact nature of Grey Wardens (the whole taking in the taint deal)  That could be some potentially very large piece of feces hitting multiple fans.

[LadyJaneGrey]

The Anderfels people, led by a disillusioned Warden, versus the current Grey Wardens based in Weisshaupt.

[LiquidGrape]

Flemeth vs. Everyone.

She's a regular Mephistopheles. I would absolutely love it if she turned out to be the "real" Andraste or similar, which would tie in nicely with the Chantry conflicts.

Why? I mean why the warden would lead people against Weisshaupt.

[Punahedan]

Ooooooooooooooh. Good question! It's so easy to forget Thedas is so expansive.

I really love the mage-Templar debate, but if I wax anymore on it, people will start stabbing me, I'm sure.

Otherwise... I find the Orlais-Ferelden conflict HILARIOUS and would LOVE to see that played up for laughs, if nothing else.

Qunari vs. Tevinter and those two vs. everyone else is also REALLY interesting - at what cost is such a massive freedom, to what extent do we permit personal beliefs? When do they stop being personal and start being too aggressively expanding? Especially in light of the White Chantry (not sure about the Black Chantry) being just as close-minded at times as the Qun is.

The Dalish-Alienage elf worldview dissonance would be nice to see really unfold. On the one hand, why not build a new culture? On the other, why let yourself be walked over?

Chasind-Ferelden. Not entirely a conflict, I suppose, but still a dissonance.

The Crows run Antiva - how would changing that affect Antivan and Thedosian politics?

And to hit back on my favorite points: the mage fraternities (I'm an aequitarian...) and now what will probably end up being a conflict within the Templars - those who want to just eliminate mages and those who wish to serve only as a last resort, or even a defense, of sorts, against demons.

Hm, who is the ugly then?

Well, not every individual Warden is happy with the organization or recruitment methods; I don't see it so much as "kill them all" as an opportunity to reform the organization and return power back to the people of the Anderfels.  Riordan said the Wardens are the main power in the country...which could lead to all sorts of conflicts of interest.

That, and I want to see Weisshaupt Fortress.  :innocent:

Good answer...

I just want to see that final showdown between Morrigan and Flemeth where Flemeth soul-crushes Morrigan with the fact that everything Morrigan has done has been just another cog in the wheel of Flemeth's grand scheme... And then does something super awesome like sunders the entire veil.... Or whatever it is she is planning to do.

[AndreaDraco]

I'd like to explore the White Chantry vs. Black Chantry conflict, but Tevinter vs. everyone else, especially the Qunari, is a close second.

Come to think of it, anything Tevinter-related would be great for me!

[Cavalier753]

I want to see the grey warden Drake Grey go on several missions for the First Warden, including going to Nevarra to learn about darkspawn crossing over the Waking Sea, and then going to Antiva to discover the location of an Antivan Warden whose gone missing, only to uncover a plot against the wardens by a tevinter magister who is attempting to discover the secrets of the wardens and oust the First Warden so he can rule over the Anderfels, and then you travel into the Tevinter Imperium with a contingent of wardens at your back to bring said magister to the First Warden for punishment, but they have to break into his tower. Once the magister has been captured, the wardens bring him before the First Warden, but then the magister summons a horde of demons and becomes a pride abomination, sending the wardens scattered. They eventually take down the abomination and it's demons, but at the cost of several dozen wardens and the first warden himself. Drake Grey leaves to spread news in Orlais to the warden commander there and on his way, runs into a beautiful woman. She is beset by highwaymen, (about 10-18 of them) but she deals with all of them before the Senior Warden can get to her. Seeing her potential, he asks to recruit her. She has nothing left to lose so the woman accepts. They both travel to the Warden's base of operations in Orlais. There, the wardens conduct the young girl into the wardens. The girl is assigned to be in Drake's unit along with two other wardens, one a dwarf named Mathias, and an elf named Demitri. While spending time in Orlais, waiting for the girl (Liana) to get used to her nightmares and cravings, the new team performs a few missions for the Warden Commander there. After a few weeks in Orlais, the group is then moving into Ferelden to attain more information on the Architect from the Wardens there. They go there, and they encounter a high dragon along the way through the Frostback mountains. A huge battle ensues, in which mathias receives a fatal wound.

If I finished my story, you'd all probably fall asleep reading this.

More Qunari doing whatever they are doing.

Nugs vs. Kirkwall

The Battle of the Squealing Plains will not be forgotten...

The above. The whole Qunari VS Tevinter conflict is one I see as fairly interesting, especially in the light of the fact that either defeating the other one would probably lead to the winner attacking the rest of Thedas, meaning that the war between the two is something of a blessing for the rest of Thedas. Also interesting to note that the Qunari may not be very serious about this conflict as of yet and are witholding the bulk of their forces ATM...

Next comes the Mage-Templar war, which the enxt game will most likely deal with. Thirdlycomes the whole traditionalist-reformer conflict of Dwarven society (which we may or may not have affected). The elven-human conflict is alo of interest, but it isn't THAT much of a conflict yet, as the majority of elves, the city elves, seems to simply have accepted that their lot in life is a crappy one. DA2 implies that if an opportuny turned up, some of them might rebel against their so-called "human lords" though...

[Lithuasil]

As much as I'd like a future DA installment, once we're done with the mage/templar issue, to deal with beating the oxheads back to par vollen, and lighting every mayor settlement on that island on fire - I hope it won't happen. With DA2, we moved beyond the black and white scheme, and I'd like it to stay that way. Making the qunari the center of a future game, would mean reinstating a clear villain, even less likeable then the darkspawn.

Taking part on the infighting, between tevinter nobles and magisters on the other hand - that'd be awesome.

I would take the game to Tevinter. I think that location offers more for the story telling than just hack and slash a couple of qunari (who are nothing but binary zealots without personalities).

Oh, come on, if we were to, say, take part in the whole Tevinter-Par Vollen conflict, then that would be a fairly grey - or Black and Grey - situation! On one side, we have enslaving, bloodmagicking Tevinter magister lords who stops at nothing to gain power and on the other side, we have the Qunari, who demands that you surrender to the teachings to the Qun, taking away people's freedoms with it, tears families apart, makes mindless workers out of those who refuse to convert and treats mages like animals or worse. In short, both sides would be portrayed as fairly grey - or at best it'd be a dark vs dark scenario, in which you'd have to choose which the elsser evil here. If done rightly (not as poorly as in the case of DA2's Mage-Templar/Orsino & Meredith situation) then it could be a fairly interesting scenario
