It amazes me how people would want to keep playing with their Warden, but I guess they were more attached to him/her than I was. I guess since the Warden is kinda/sorta/notquite a blank-slate, a lot of people can project onto them.

Actually, it's really amazing to see how people play certain games differently than others. I'd write a thesis on it - if I weren't a lazy mother#$*@er

In any case, no to the Warden (imho). For the next full non-expansion DA game I'd like to see a new character take the lead, but I would like for the Warden and Hawke to make significant cameos.

Rockpopple. I love your avatar.

OT, I like playing different characters, and playing the same characters for too long makes me a bit bored, so no more Warden and no more Hawke would be fine with me (though an xp with Hawke would be good). A Seeker next time?

It is really interesting. Its a shame that you don't go on and write a paper about it though, I'm sure it would be a good read.

Cameos would be nice too... but the problem with Hawke or the Warden making them is that they are the players characters, and anything that they would do in the cameo would have to be very very insignificant because of how diffrently one Warden or Hawke could be from someone elses. Their cameos would have no substance.

Trilogy revolving around the Warden.

[Wompoo]

A trilogy based around the Warden would of seen me stop playing and buying at 1. I prefer Hawke to be honest. However a character like the BG series evolving over time would of been fantastic. I really don't give a flying stuffed sow about the DA world (Chantry Templars and Wardens all nauseating) Only my character means anything and they have yet to create one that is as endearing as I would like (way to much emphasis on companions and their high level baby sitting maintenance).

[Must have name]

I'd like to see separate characters in each game. I'd also like to see the games set far enough away from each other that there's no need for importing anything more than a few serious decisions. It would also keep the plot from simply becoming a railroad to set up the next game (which DA2 does).

I would like a new protagonist but I wouldn't mind playing with Hawke some more. I do not want the Warden back though.

I am not attached to Hawke. She doesn't feel like I can control her. She just responds to the story. For me that means any character will do. ME was different. The idea was to have a trilogy from the start. But after that I am fine with another character. I think an old PC character should be connected to her followers. A Hawke without the DA2 companions and the Warden without the DA:O companions doesn't feel right. It's no surprise that ME3 brings back a lot of the old (ME1) crew. I think a lot of people not only get attached to the PC, they also get attached to her followers.

This^ I couldn't agree more. I have responded with those who compare the series, and they cannot be comapred. The dialogue wheel, for example, worked well for ME, because that's how the game started and it carried over into ME2 well, though the RPG elements were a bit scaled back. Origins to DA2 is a 180 turn from anything representative of DA:O style gameplay, and the use of the DW was not DA, it just doesn't fit. <looks above my head for DA2 lovers to fall into my room and attack me>

New characters, it's satisfying to take a character from neophyte -> veteran.

[vitae-vixi]

As some people have mentioned before - for some people the Warden's story is over, but for mine and many others - it isn't.

Bioware have stated that that the epilogues from Origins should be treated as 'hearsay' - that means I have no idea where my Wardens are anymore. I have no closure from Origins because of the changes that have been made to the results of the Warden's story.

I see Alistair in Kirkwall - according to 2 of my female Wardens epilogues they should have been around (I imagine) since They and Alistair disappeared somewhere-nobody-knows-where.

Zevvy was there cleaning up business with the crows - has he gone back to his hubby warden?

/sigh - I played the Wardens enough, I want to know what happened to them =/ If that means another game, so be it!

Hawke however - I don't give a baboons bottom.

((psst Bioware, you can even use the amnesia/ ability drain tactic if you have to!! I don't mind - just let me know what happens to them!))

New protagonists. I like seeing the world of Thedas from a new point of view.

And from a design perspective, it helps eliminate the "how do we get him back to level 1" problem.

Opposite of this. Screw that Commander Shepard-wannabe! I did not care at all for her story, her siblings or her mother(which were seriously underdeveloped characters, and you didn't get enough interaction with them to really care).

It depends on the story they're telling whether I'd want a returning PC or a new one. I don't want a new PC every single game just for the hell of having a new one every single time, even when perhaps Hawke or the Hero of Ferelden or the Orlesian Warden may be better suited to the events in the story.

I don't think you'd need a trilogy for a given character like ME, but it would be neat if they could develop the world A Song of Ice and Fire style where you can bring back the Warden and Hawke for DA3 (should the story call for it) to have multiple protagonists and different points of view on one big event/war/conflict.

But like AngryFrozenWater mentioned, attachment to one PC generally means attachment to those companion characters. Bringing back an old companion character to interact with a different PC is mostly annoying as it either means you're rehashing old ground and lose any connection the old PC had with the companion or it means the writers likely have the old companion character pull a 180, like Anders, so that they're "new" for the new protagonist, which I don't care for either.

Basically, there shouldn't be some rule that you need a new PC every game. All I know is that if they ever get around to dealing with Morrigan and the OGB and my Warden isn't involved in some meaningful way and its some random Most Important Person in The World Hero of Thedas dealing with that stuff which my Warden started, thats likely when I stop caring about DA.

*fist-bumps vitae-vixi*

I hope I can join the fist bump. If I had to have a return character...my Warden definitely, Hawke..no.

[lv427]

More Hawke, or a new protagonist would be my preference.

Would you rather have Dragon Age a trilogy that revovled around the Warden?
           or
Would you rather have Dragon Age an ongoing franchise that revovles around different characters on each separate title? (DA3,DA4,DA5...)

The second choice.

I would love a story that span for the entire dragon age seen through the eye of a different protagonist for each book/game .
