Since I'm in a sharing mood, I will put this out there: our intention is that for each major release of Dragon Age, you will take up the mantle of a new character. This does not mean your old character may never appear in future games, but as far as the core protagonist goes, if there is a DA III, it will very likely be neither Hawke nor The Warden.

We want to keep the series about the time and place, rather than about any singular character. While I know not everyone prefers that approach, I believe it's perfectly valid, especially if certain plans of ours to shore up world consistency (import bugs really bother me!) come to fruition, which I believe they will.

And that's all I can say about that.

Thanks for the post! I'm glad you're doing it like this it'll be much more fun to explore the world through different characters eyes

This news saddens me.   

 I would have liked to play as the Warden again.

My warden died ending the blight so I'm not that upset about not using again, I'm just glad Hawke won't be used in the next title. He was never amazing enough to survive imho or pitiful enough to save out of sympathy so I'm fine with him not coming back (Hawke that is). I can understand people whos warden did not sacrifice themselves wanting to see more of him or her though.

Lol Carver being hero of next title (warden Carver)... If happens just shoot me now, hated Carver more so than even Hawke which is suprising in itself given how much disdain have for Hawke. Doesn't matter that I made Hawke the best way I could using what was given to me but the bottlekecking and tacky level of choice implementation breaking illusion of choices made me feel he was never mine to begin with because he never did in the end the things I wanted him to do, his mommy, sister and random NPCs plus companions ended up forcing a direction all the time which I would not have picked. From Flemmeth at start, middle plus entrance into Kirkwall plus ending and more so many infact it would turn this one paragraph into half dozen..

well not reusing characters is fine so long as they actually finish there stories before they start a new character so far they've done this in both games and it is quite an absurd practice imo. i mean just were the heck were my wardens meant to be during da 2 especially my Dalish warden who by all rights should have been with his clan for at least some of da2. And now weve got hawke nocking around whos story is also completely unresolved.

I agree that if they were to use a past character the Warden would be about a million times better than Hawke, but really, we've played as the Warden, we've saved the world, got the girl, and even saved the world again in Awakenings. I like the idea of seeing the Warden again at some point, but not as the Main Character (unless its in a little DLC adventure, that would be swell). Its defintiely time for somebody new, obviously Morrigan's child is the best way to go, but anybody new is better than going back to a character who has already done so much. Its time for somebody fresh and new and cool, I think Mike is 100% right about that. Having said that, I would hope that we would have the opportunity to become a Gray Warden again, maybe not make it the be all end all of the adventure like in DAO, but kind've like how you could make Bethany a Warden if you wanted to in DA2, it'd be nice to be able to make the Main Character a Warden in DA3, even if it doesn't really turn out to be a big deal, I just like the idea of the Wardens playing some role in each game, big or small, and I like being able to make my character one.

[M8DMAN]

I can understand them wanting to use a new hero DA3, but for every game in the series? Hell no!

[MKDAWUSS]

If we're seeing a new PC, hopefully nonhuman options are on the table again. My Hawke and Warden were both humans.

@sirgladiator unfortunately Morrigans child would not allow us to choose race and i think that's one thing that definately needs to be reintroduced to the series equaly it would also limit other creation choices like skin tone. not to mention isnt it possible that the father could be a dwarf how would that work out

I think that individual would possess more of Morrigan's physical features rather than the father's. In fact, I'd find it coincidental to see any features he shares with his father.

Who says she wasn't playing the field and in the end wasn't either Alistairs or Riordans. In the end God baby I think wil become the hero at somepoint in one of the DA titles using character creater everyones god baby will look way want anyways and if include race choices again which better do if want my money, then even that isn't an issue.

Because neither of them killed the archdemon, which is the whole point of the ritual.

No effect could still cheat on your warden, doesn't stop her getting pregnant again from Alistair in mine he lived.

Maybe she bonked Sandal after the ending and wil be a super/mega god baby.

She could also have bonked Riordan in some playthroughs where she didn't sleep with warden or Alistair which is another possiblity.

If they didn't slay the Archdemon It would just be a regular baby.

Maybe she just has super large ego and expectations of her normal baby. Many crazy men think they god so maybe she thinks her baby is god baby even if she just bonked sten.

P.s. By the end of the night Morrigane in my versions part of thread will have bonked every single NPC in game if carry on so I'll stop now.

I do wonder though and this is bit off topic, question... Who is the one person in DAO that people would least like or most surprised if after DNA test; find out is another character from the games baby?

Barkspawns? .. Just kidding

I like this since it represents the difference between ME and DA, one about a character, the other about the world...

the will of Bioware. I dream that Bioware gives us another dlc for Origins to complete their story.

Because I guess Hawk will complete his story with the DLC and expansion. But the Warden, not sure.

But I agree to let Hawk alone. I see no interest to take him personally as a companion. I want to finish his story properly in DLC/ expansion and move on in DA3.

I agree completley that they should release a new dlc that will make an end of the warden´s story
But that was one of my greatest hope with DA3 that it would follow the warden once more because then bioware can make all origins fans happy.

If then DA3 will prove succesfull amongst all the fans that liked the warden and those didn´t then bioware can choose to continue the story or not.

I can respect your vision and direction regarding Dragon Age, but please finish a character's story before jumping to another guy...

At least this means I can stop wasting my time hoping for my wardens return...... Still sad tho I loved him so much :-(

I haven´t posted in a long time but for once I´ll agree with the particular vision Mr. Laidlaw has for Dragon Age in this respect: Dragon Age is about Thedas, thus it makes sense that it´s a choral narrative that uses specific individuals (Hawke, the Warden...) as focal points for that narration.

I like that approach; I like it a lot. And I hope further narrations look better knit taking in consideration previous chapters (DA2 does this, but I think it can be better refined and implemented in the future).

And just as personal preference, guys; allow Mr. Gaider to bring us Morrigan back (his best character along with Viconia, IMO) and her tragedies again.

Considering that A) Riordan couldn't because he'd been a Grey Warden too long. One could choose not to do the ritual (C DG said the ritual wasn't canon D) if you did do the ritual the baby had a fixed gender as of Witch Hunt: Male, I doubt we'll be seeing this happen.

Morrigan, yes, we'll probably see again, as she and Flemeth have unfinished business, but the only way we'll see the child is if it's in a reactive quest.

Lovely.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for an actual expansion, but will still be pleased with more DLC. Hopefully soonish.
