After a playthrough you have to stay in Hawke's estate. None of the locations is accessible, except black emporion. I know a lot of RPG where you can still travel through their world. Where you have random fight encounters or some mission that are only available after a playthrough.

I mean, even in Mass Effect 2 you can fly to the stations and other planets. Scan the planets, some of them have a mini mission. Some short mission on the space station can be made after the playthrough.
I have made 4 playthroughs. One with a mage, one with a warrior and two with a rouge. Now all 4 characters are sitting in Hawke's estate.

Seriously, why is the Dragon Age world locked after a playthrough. I remember that this was also a question in the Dragon Age Origins forum.

It satisfies a demand of the Qun that you cannot hope to understand.

The world outside assumes the ending hasn't happened yet. It would be weird to be walking through the Hanged Man hearing people talk about what just happened to the Arishok and how creepy Meredith is--after you just killed her. And it would be weird for people in the street to be arguing about templar and mages as though the big conflict hadn't just happened.

I get the appeal of wanting to finish sidequests.

But I imagine the reasons mentioned earlier are why Bioware does what it does.

Should i convert to the qun? Do you think they have a place for a pizza baker (original pizzaiolo)?

[Icy Magebane]

Because the game is over? Outside of games made by Bethesda, what other games have you played that allow you to keep going once the credits roll? Not many, I'll bet.

There is always a place for pizza bakers!

They probably did that for the sake of DLC.

Given BioWare's patchy record in terms of DLC, I doubt any of it would be nearly as satisfying as playing the game itself. (Though Lair of the Shadow Broker was really good, though.)

Even better if you can make cookies.

I admit, i will fail in making cookies, but believe me: Pizza and Pasta are my real skills.

Well, there are 2 options for Hawke's fate once the game ends, and that doesn't include traveling around the city. Shepard was still a ship captain, but Hawke's role changes completely. It's just there for DLC... there's nothing to do when the game ends.

[Dormiglione]

But back to the topic. In such big worlds like DAO and big cities like DA2, there is much potential to make it an interesting place after a playthrough.
There are also games that are a mix of car racing and adventure and the game is not over after beating the "final boss driver". You can still go for the sidequest, there are still random car races.

[Wulfram]

Yeah. Either you'd have hordes of Templars zerg rushing you, or Seneschal Bran burying you under paper work.

I see what you mean. But how would it feel when Shepard couldnt access anymore the navigation map. The only thing that remains was to walk around the ship, nothing else.
I would miss the option to go for the sidequests.

You would think they eventually they would either stop trying or just run out of Templars.

Hawke has to kill small armies every time he goes out for a stroll.

I'm not sure it would be worth the bother to deliver someone's lost pantaloons

[Icy Magebane]

Personally, I prefer games that let you keep going even after you've done the "final" mission... Now that I type this, I can think of some examples myself. GTA for one. But I've played more finite games by far, so I don't really expect more than that. Unfortunately, this is just one of the games that simply ends...

Yes, you are right, same here, it makes me sad because i really love to play RPG and to keep going after the "finish".
Maybe we will be surprised in DA3 with a game that keeps going after the final..

Why would you want to leave? You've already explored everything like, ten times.

[Arkuran]

The continuous cycles of going to the black emporium then Hawke's house over and over again. o_O
