I posed this question in another topic, but had the feeling it could derail the OP's question, which I did not wish to do. I am however, very curious as to others opinions and thoughts on this.

I apologise Abispa for quoting you out of the original topic and hope you don't mind.

I've read interviews with the creators for the last two years, and they've said repeatedly that DA is about THEDAS, not individual characters.

I find this really interesting. I've not read any of the interviews so I didn't know this. However, do you not think, as far as fictional worlds go, it's the characters that MAKE them?
If you remove all the characters (individual or not) from a fantasy world are these worlds not all much and such the same? Thedas without the defining characters would be the same as Norrath without it's defining characters, as would Faerun,Torril, Middle Earth?

I would have to kick this off by saying the people in Origins and how they shaped or lived through events defined Thedas in my mind. Hawke has further defined things but with considerably less impact on me (no, that's not a critisism).

I guess the statement, 'you always remember your first...' has another meaning to me as far as Dragon Age goes../../../images/forum/emoticons/love.png

As I said, I'm really curious to get others opinions on this. Thanks all

I'd suggest you've misunderstood the quote.

The Dragon Age story is not about the Warden or about Hawke or about [DA 3 main character.] That's not the same as the story not being about any or all characters.

Alternatively, Mass Effect is all about Shepard.

That is about the people that assume the same hero journeys through all of it. The warden goes to Orlais, the warden goes to Antiva etc. They didn't plan a storyline around one single character, like they did with Mass Effect.

I am hoping that is the case and thanks for correcting. Certainly from DA:2 all the characters are at least referenced from Origins/Awakening events and my hunch was I was misinterpreting the statement. I'm happier now someone else thinks I was too!
Thanks :happy:

I think what they meant is that they aren't going to make any singular character the focus of the series. Rather, each game will feature a different protagonist and their stories will weave together to form the history of Thedas.
