He's still a better developed character than hawke.

That's not really saying much though

No keep him dead. His death was an emotinal moment in DA:O. Bringing him back would cheapen it.

Duncan probably has no children.
Duncan died horribly to the Darkspawn.
Duncan isn't in the fade.
Duncan is dead.

Duncan being the father of the Warden or Hawke is stupid.
But we'll still miss our tutorial man.

If Duncan is the main character in DA3 i will buy the game.

[fightright2]

What with the storyline lacking cohesiveness in DA2, I was just trying to "resurrect" something long yearned for from the first that could use all the parts of DA2: Tevinter Imperium, Qunari, and the whole mage rebellion thing and tie them together for a purpose in the third.

Ok, I can let go of Duncan as long as we can see Fenris consulted about Tevinter Imperium for a new adventure quest into there.

Or you could... I dunno... stop living in the past? Duncan's dead. The Darkspawn ate him. Move. On.

[Complistic]

They brought leliana back. They should definitely bring duncan back. They've already broken most of the immersion and believability the series had. They might as well go all the way.

I didn't say Duncan being the father of the Warden or Hawke.
This is for DA3, and would only work as playing a new character that didn't know about their father, say like a farmer. Only to discover in the quest that Duncan was their father, that I think would be cool. I could see how it would be such  inspiration to a ordinary character when he/she is thrown into a quest with doubts to whether he/she can pull it off,  much less know why they were pulled into it in the first place.
"It's in your blood. Courage courses through your veins as it did your father's."

Ok, I settle for mentioning him as that. Instead of having him appear in a flashback of someone else's memory or being in the fade. Still, with no body found and only his sword and shield, they could always come upon his skeleton, identified by his armor and find an amulet that he carried would be a nice trinket,

maybe a game set before the time of dao/da2 could work with duncan as he was in one of the books if not both my memory is bad. Unless duncan isn't dead but can't see how not?

[meanieweenie]

Duncan is dead but is beard crawled off his face in the frakus, found male Hawke's face and went on to become Champion of Kirkwall.

[Rockpopple]

@ Complistic - lolwhut?

Don't compare Leliana's "death" to Duncan's death. Leliana never died for me - once. Ever. Duncan dies for eeeeeeveryone.

Duncan was a typical Obi Wan character albiet a good one. It's his job to prepare the novice and then die so as not to overshadow him.

A preferable way I think is the way FFX handles it. Again Auron is a typical Obi Wan character, but when he rejoins the party much later Tidus (the novice) is about as powerful as Auron was at the start. Auron then fits into the party without overshadowing. Though Auron is so many levels of cool above Tidus it happens anyway.

Anyone who is familiar with FFX will see a route into DA3 for Duncan from what I typed.

Whats dead always stays dead not unless some sorcerer/mage miraculously conjures some kind of spell to resurrect Duncan out of thin air.

Whether they intended to ever bring him back or not, they very clearly left that door open by offering no hard evidence in game that he is, in fact, dead.   In a game that loves to show us blood and gore in the cutscenes we are specifically NOT shown the axe hitting Duncan.  There's no corpse of him at Ostagar.  We don't meet his spirit (his real spirit) in the Fade.

Doesn't mean they will bring him back, but it very much means they could.  They would only have to show us why that axe-blow didn't land and the Architect would have been a convenient answer to that, considering they know each other (from the novels).

Unless the devs have actually confirmed he is dead since then.  I don't read every post here.

[Spartansfan8888]

The qunari buy his body off the black market from Castillon then use their technology to rebuild/revive him to swim back to their homeland and let everyone know they're ok

This sums it up. Storylines should be rational and make sense. Duncan is dead. End of discussion. Hell, I looted his body myself in Return to Ostagar.

The Alistair's Joining DLC might be interesting. Other than that, leave the dead ones dead, s'il vous plait.

No you didn't.  Not unless you modded the game.  His corpse is not present at Ostagar.  This means either that he was dragged underground with the others (Morrigan mentions this going on in the aftermath of the battle) and eaten, or that he didn't die and was perhaps taken prisoner instead.

Either explanation is possible AND rational, as you require.  That they give no real proof he is dead seems deliberate when they so readily show us everyone ELSE dying.  Again, doesn't mean they will or even that I WANT them to.  I think his death was rather well done if he really did die there.  But they can also decide to bring him back and it won't require a retcon or even any type of magical resurrection (which supposedly isn't possible in the DA universe anyway).

Duncan with the new DA2 graphics?

No. Please, no

Actually you can make Hawke look almost exactly like Duncan. Personally I was never able to but my friend was

Why not, he could be an zombie.

No. Bad enough with characters miraculously surviving death already.
And Qunari sprouting horns,
And elfs becoming mongol-fied.
And Zevran becoming duck-ugly.
And Merrill's voice completely changing.
And the Darkspawn being re-made to look like playtime playmates.

You hit the nail on the head. Those art changes were really not necessary imho. Why fix something that is not broken? Was there a problem with it? Did the fans lament about the inital version? Its the same world after all. Why change it.

Okay, sorry, I m getting off topic.

No.
