One of my Wardens went into the Eluvian as well. I played Witch Hunt before Awakenings, so I never took him on that. Figured he was gone, gone, gone. But he was the only Warden I had who was truly in love with Morrigan. Was an elf and Alistair's Chancellor and totally left him in the lurch.
I've played DA2 using every other DAO playthrough but that one. I felt like he was totally out of things, but if Flemeth is behind all of this, that Warden might be the one at ground zero after all.
Do you think the Warden will be the main character for Dragon age 3?

I was just thinking.
It'd be sweet as Hell if, in DA3, you could import both your Warden and Hawke characters to act as companions alongside the new hero.
Thats what I'd like to see. I mean, c'mon, two of the most important people in Thedas, just disappeared? You better not screw us over, Bioware! >=O

I wouldn't think so, I wouldn't want the warden to return.
Sure I'd like to see him/her mentioned, or even present in DA3 but I'd like the story to be centered around other characters.
I would like to see origins come back, and the ability to select a race and also the return on battle the dark spawn to save humanity, elves and Dwarfs alike rather than having a popularity contest in a single City-State.
Just me though.

No, I don't think the Warden will be the main character, but I do think we'll find out what happened to him/her in Dragon Age III. I do think Morrigan will make a return and Flemeth will have a much larger role. Bringing the Warden back doesn't make sense unless the Darkspawn start another Blight. It's more likely they're going to bring the Mage/Chantry conflict to resolution, which will involve Morrigan and/or Flemeth.

I highly doubt it. And hope not.
New character of DA3 would be grand.

I think the warden will play some part, although nothing "major," but not as the protagonist.

I highly doubt it. Bioware has said the Warden is gone. They have also said we aren't going back to Kirkwall. However, I've heard claims from game companies in the past and then they either capitulate to the fans, make a purely business decision, or realize that their vision was flawed and go back to whatever worked originally. So who knows really.
Along with others, I'll add that the voiced protagonist (which I enjoy) is probably one major reason why we won't see the Warden again.
Another is the radically different character creation engine. I find it odd that a DAO NPC like Cullen or Leliana can look almost exactly like their original self, while Alistair or Teagan look awful. I'm not sure if it's a difference in the engine or with the designers who were responsible for import into DA2. (I'm not counting Anders here btw, originally I thought he looked too much like Alistair anyway, so it was clear to me they wanted him to look different.)
What I do find frustrating however, are the import issues that continue to plague DA2. Even something like the complete codex for "The Fifth Blight, Vols. 1 and 2" is completely broken, so I can't get a sense of accomplishment from my Warden through documentation. It's very frustrating. If they managed to fix import issues like that, had banter or other references to the Warden (or Hawke), I would be perfectly fine with playing an entirely different person for DA3 (which I think is ultimately the case.)

I say: even though bioware has stated that it will be a new protagnist. "bioware be ambitious, hopefull and optimistic and create DA3 with the ability to choose eitherto play as the warden, hawke or new character as new protaganist".
A good compromise for everyone in my opinion, bioware IS the only ones who can make it work and for it to be exellent.

I would love for it to be something in either Orlais, or with the Qunari. I will definitely miss my Warden, and my Hawke, but to have someone new would be a lot of fun.
The only thing I'm worried about is that it'll be another set race, since if they have a ton of races they'll need a ton of voices . . . and I'm not sure if Bioware will be willing to spend even more money. . .
Even if we really, really want it

Who would want to start off with a level 30 character anyway?

Silly. Shepard always restart at level 01 when you import him on the next game. Why wouldn't we be able to start the new Dragon Ages with an imported Hawke or Warden to level 01 too?

Correct. Neither the Warden nor Hawke will be the PC for DA3. If either of those characters appear, it will be as NPC's only. We've clearly said this several times, so I'm uncertain why it's still a question.

Warden and Hawke as NPCs would be horrible. Please just drop Fort Drakon on their heads before doing that.

Why would it be so horrible? They've had a large impact in both Ferelden and the Free Marches, have become famous and are obviously extremely important to the Chantry for some reason. It would be a little strange if we never heard from either of them again.

Because they're my characters, not Bioware's, so they should keep their fingers off them.
Bioware doesn't know what these characters are like, how they'd react and what decisions they'd make.

While I can see where you're coming from from a purely roleplaying perspective, some inferences can still be made on how your Warden/Hawke character will react to situations depending on actions taken in previous games.
I wouldn't expect either of them to take a central role but seeing as they're both important characters - DA2 was all about Cassandra searching for Hawke after all, and she never did find him/her - it wouldn't make much sense to leave them out completely. That's just me though.

Look at all of the people who were unhappy that their Warden had to go off and be Warden Commander in Awakening - which wasn't exactly a big jump, really. Dumping them into another characters game as an NPC would have far more problems, for much less reward.

What would you like to see instead? DA:O had a finality about it in that the Warden accomplished his task and saved the world. DA2 on the other hand seemed like the opening act with no conclusion.
I can understand leaving the Warden out but to give the impression that Hawke is central to whether the Chantry survives or falls and then not giving him/her a role in DA3 would be a bit of a let down.

I'd rather see them as PC's that aren't main protagonists than as NPC's. NPC's or not at all? Well it's hard to say from afar.

Whilst I fully support this decision I must admit I'm very curious about what you will do with Hawke in DA3. Obviously a lot of noise has been made about wanting the Warden back, particularly in the light of Witch Hunt, however for me it's Hawke whose story feels like it could be continued and needs some further conclusion. Perhaps you have that covered with a DLC, but I'm curious nonetheless.
Once again though, I do support this direction for the franchise as and I'm already dying to see what you have in store for us with the next main character and their party.

Awakening wasn´t bad but it didn´t have such a good end, and for the part with importing the character in my opinion was actually good because then you could continue the wardens story and if you play the last dlc then you get the feeling of that the wardens story isn´t over yet because of the unsatisfied end

Need to repeat it in a week from now.. please?.. people have very poor memory
some will probably ask for a link or you get the "GTFO" as an answer. lol!Oh and if the warden is shown or is an NPC with a quest .. do not listen to people saying that wasn't his/her voice, the warden was MUTE in DAO so any voice is going to fit her/him.
And before I forget.. when is the book coming out or is it out?

Something I'm particularly interested in as well.
Hawke's character in DA2 was not one of the best IMO, and I would really want to see BW turn the table for him. And considering how the Seekers are interested in finding him, I don't want him to be thrown to the side b/c of people's reaction to him.

I agree. Despite the poor job BW did with Hawke, is still came to like him very much, and would wish him to still have an importance in the story of DA, and make him better.
Perhaps they can pull this off having him as a NPC.
