Would you rather have had Dragon Age a trilogy with the same character or an ongoing franchise with a different character on each?

Trilogy revolving around the Warden.

...but since they've already made Hawke, I hope the next game would involve him/her, but have the Warden back as the 'primary protagonist' (maybe have Hawke become an optional companion). Or a choice between the two (I likes the idea posted some time back where Hawke could be in opposition to the Warden, with Hawke being 'Flemeth's pawn', and the Warden 'Morrigan's'...or something like that)

Of course, if I only had to pick between the two choice given by the OP, then I'll go with the Warden (and a return to a DA:O-style RPG).

I would rather have a new protagonist but perhaps keep the old one as a reference character in the game. Hear about him or her or perhaps even meet and interact with them. I would have loved to be takes up as a warden by my very first warden.

I would rather Hawke's story be completed in DLC/Expansion (with him dying in a fiery inferno of epic proportions but that's just me).

Then get a new protagonist for DA3

I'm sure the "sequel" to DA2 with be an Awakenings style expansion that will, along with some smaller DLCs, bring Hawke's story to a close. Even if the Warden's story wasn't "finished" (What do you want to make it official? A tombstone?), I have no interest in playing a high-level god of death who can sleep walk through an adventure, as was the case of my Warden after the first half of Awakenings.

DA3 will, I'm guessing, tale place in Orleas since that's where Bodan and Sandal are heading next, which probably means we'll see Flemeth there, too, buying some awesome shoes.

The warden's story, for me, was wrapped up in Dragon Age: Origins. I would have preferred more allusions to my warden's actions in DA2, however. The game didn't feel as reactive as ME2 did, and that was a point against it in my opinion.

I would, however, welcome a couple more games revolving around hawke, but I can't give a definite answer on that since I haven't seen what DLC they are going to be releasing. They might wrap up his story with DLC like they did the warden's.

Not just you, although I'm partial to have his/her skull bashed in, and buried in an unmarked grave in a ditch that people empty the jakes into. Fiery inferno will do though.

But yea, new protagonist for the next DA game.

*snort* Okay yeah, I go with new protagonist...and maybe one of the options above. I didn't hate my Hawke, I felt nothing for her...so I wouldn't be sad, let's say?

Personally I'm partial to pushing people down stairs, and I didn't like hawke very much. No idea how or if those two statements are connected in any way.

Different protagonists in each story. From what Bioware have said (and released so far), this IS the way they are going with Dragon Age - like it or not. It was never meant to be about a single character and a single series of events.

Hawke's story is not finished yet - we still have some story DLCs and an expansion (maybe) to conclude Hawke's story. But sure as anything, DA3 will be a new protagonist, and probably a new plot that has nothing to do with the mage-chantry war (though may loosely deal with its aftermath, as DA2 does with the Blight).

ROFL! I felt meh about Hawke. LIke the game, so it's fitting I suppose. I don't think my Warden would pee on her to put out if she were on fire...it would be too much effort?

Would rather have a trilogy that carries over the warden and the descisions that were made. And how those chooses affected your companions and the world around you while facing any new threats that have emerged.

or

A new Protagonist.

Thank goodness for that. I wasn't all that fond of the mage/templar thing. As a mage it just became silly. And as much as I like Cullen, I could never side with templars (bunch of heavy handed, torturing, law breaking tranquil making, rapists). Yeah sure, the mages got a hang nail and turned into demons, but they told us it was due to the thin veil in Kirkwall (so why anyone would put a Circle of Magi there, I'll never know). I came away with a bad taste for everyone involved in that story line. So moving on would make me happy.

I would much preferred staying with the Warden, or if not that, have had much greater involvement by the former companions. I didn't find the new characters half as compelling as the previous ones.

I'd like to see a new protagonist each game, revolving around stories in the Dragon Age realm.
I mentioned this a while ago too. Warden's story is over, and I didn't care about Hawke
The most important part in my mind is for future protagonists to be character created, race/class/sex.
The backstories that were molded to each character in DAO made the game shine.

I like how Mass Effect has the same character continue throughout the games. However! I do not believe Dragon Age would be appropriate to have this same idea go on.

I feel this way because of the events that have occured for Hawke in Dragon Age 2.


I would rather see a brand new face appear and perhaps interact with the characters you played before. Perhaps use the Hawke one created in DA2 and the Warden we played in DA1 become members you could bump into if you are in the right spot at the right time and even recruit them!

Something similar to Isabella, I liked how she wasn't handed to us on a silver platter!

The characters from DA:O and DA2 could have:
-The general allignment that the character had.
-Their class(es?). Such as if you played a mage in DA:O you would be a mage in DA3. And if you specailized to become a Arcane Warrior you would carry over as an Arcane Warrior in DA3.
-Romances would also be included in the game, perhaps not as a party member but if you spoke to the character you could talk to them.

Such as, if you romanced Alistair in DA:O your new character in DA3 would strike up a conversation and through the game and getting to know eachother better your character would hear something such as "He was so dashing, I chose to put him on as the king of Kirkwall. Sadly, though, it has been a long time since then. New threat's, new battles. Living in a castle was no life for me."


And perhaps events that you played through in each would make dramatic impacts upon the game, such as if you chose to sign a pact with the demon in DA:O your party would be confronted with a new deal arrangement over the boy, and if you did it in DA2 you would be confronted by the boy who was a dreamer and it would play out like that. It could even be possible that your characters could argue with eachother... play a "Renegade" Hawke and a "Paragon" Warden and have them bicker :P


Overall DA3 would be a game that has a lot of potential, and I hope they don't let it die off... it could be the merging and blending of the two previous games into a brilliant third game that not only incorporates the positive innovations of each that the community liked, but it could harness the power of the two characters you played as previously to fight against a larger-than-life threat to the world.

It would also bring back humble and fond memories of the previous games, rather than making them into mere stepping stones :3


Bioware is super-close to the UofA and should utilize the brilliant minds there. I know I'd be eager to share some of my idea's and help where I could !

 I prefer continuing with either character- mostly Hawke because of that awful cliffhanger, but hopefully some new DLC's will rectify that in the near future. Just hoping the new DLC's wrap up Hawke's story nice and sweet (in a matter of speaking). 

A new character would be nice for a fresh start (and if Hawke's closure is pretty solid), but if they don't bring back the 'choosing between various races thing' like in Origins than what would be the point- the new guy/gal will just be another Hawke/Shepherd clone, (I suppose they could tack on an Orlesian accent- please no).

Personally it annoys me that both the Warden and Hawke apparently just vanish without any sort of reference and no doubt the new guy would just vanish... makes me imagine the Warden and Hawke elsewhere sipping a cup of joe in a coffee shop while new guys get pumped in with each installment.

I thought Dragon Age is about different people who made a significant difference during the Dragon Age?

I wouldn't want an entire trilogy around the same character. That's just doesnt work in my eyes with DA. The Warden is done, and hopefully Hawke will be with DLC. By the time Dragon Age 3 comes around, hopefully there will be a new hero, and maybe less pre-defined.

I'd welcome any actually. There are pros and cons to each.

Would I like to play as the Warden or Hawke again? Heck yes. I've invested in their story and I'd like to play out anything that they get into.

And new heroes are always welcomed as well, just as long as we get to revisit the older ones eventually.

I'm not certain Hawke or the Warden are done at all yet. They may have already made an impact on Thedas... but its not written anywhere that they're "One Hit Wonders" or anything. Given the ending of DA2... well... I'm almost sure their stories go on at least for a little longer.

I would like to see Hawke return for possibly one more game/expansion, not sure if three games would be appropriate but one more would be fine with me.
