Oh well at least we know now even though I would have loved the idea of giving a choice of either playing the Warden again, Hawke again or creating a new character. =(

I don't mind not having the Warden (but i want to see the Warden again), but i definitely want a Silent Protagonist. If DA3 has a voiced PC, I will be extremely dissapointed.

at one point (i honestly can't remember when),Mr. Laidlaw said that they wouldn't be going back to Silent protagonist.

[Shepard Lives]

Hopefully not.

[Fangirl17]

Nope,I think the Warden's story is over as far as I know. He/she did mysteriously disappeared though so I wouldn't be surprised if they made a cameo somehow but I wouldn't be horribly disappointed if my Warden didn't appear in future tittles.I love my Wardens, believe me,but I just don't have high hopes for something like this to occur.

[CSick]

i am disappointed by this news. it seems silly for every game to have a new person that's supposed to be the strongest guy in the world. also, despite other people's opinions, the story of the warden felt very unfinished to me. there's still a lot of questions to be answered regarding the whole Morrigan situation. if they don't bring him back as a playable character, then i at least want to find out what the hell happened to him.

[Savber100]

No more Hawke?

Good, I want to be a Qunari.

They recorded 2 different voice actors for Shepard. All we need is 3 more for DA3 and we can have a voiced Warden. One for the Human origin, 1 for both the Dalish and City Elf origin, and 1 for both the Commoner and Noble Dwarf origin, and 1 female VA for any female origin, one who can do both a general American accent for the Dwarfs/Elfs and a British accent for Fereldens.

This is indeed great news. Though still a shame, I was just getting used to my Hawke. Hopefully he still has role in the future, 'cause his tale in Dragon Age hasn't ended . . . I hope.

As much as I love both my warden and Hawke, I'm glad to hear it will likely be a new protagonist. Not that I ever thought that wasn't going to be the case really. Creating new characters and getting attached to them is my favorite part about RPGs, so I'm all up for making a new character in DA3.

I do want more DLC with Hawke though. [/quote]

Absolutely. Hawke's tale isn't finished.

[GarrusV4karian]

I refuse to go back to none-voiced PC. The camera angel fits much better when the character is voiced, not just holding the camera angel from the back of the PC in like 95% the game. Plus, I hate when my PC gives witty one liners. Hawke can atleast have 2-4 on some occasion. It adds more feeling to the game.

And for a new protagonist, well that is a good option IMO. Though I wish to see the DA2 companions again, but new companions would be bad at all.

I don't care if DA3 takes 3-5 years to make. if that what it takes to make this game a great game, then I'll wait for that day and say it was totally worth the wait when I'm playing it.

Not happening. That would be a logistical and financial nightmare.
As long as Bioware is enamoured of their VA, the Warden won't come back.

Oh wow... my hearth just broke a little. I love my Hawkes... oki good to know now at least. And I will continue with every single game you make because I have had so much fun with them. But it will be so difficult for me to let go of my FemHawkes.

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.

Praise the Maker for this news.

Im really happy about that honnestly we dont need our warden back.

[Apollo Starflare]

As I expected, but still good to hear. Ever since they first made their intention clear that the games were about Thedas first and the protagonist of the game second I have supported that decision, it sets it apart from almost all their other titles up to this point, and I think it allows the series to breath and hopefully avoid growing too stale. It certainly allows more creative freedom too, I would have thought. Although it's own challenges are present, particularly for those crafting the story - the transition from DAO to DA2 would have shown them just how much a portion of the fanbase wants an overarching story to gel these games together.

I love my Hawkes, and I also love my Wardens. However this just makes me even more excited to see what they have in store for us with DA3.

Incidentally I still want to see the Warden reintroduced as a 'customisable companion/cameo'. I think the mirror in the Black Emporium and many fans desire for something similar in ME shows to some degree that players can accept facing a character customisation screen after the game starts and, for me, it all but completely solves the problem with the Warden's appearance. Sure we may not be able to import them properly, but even if we had to build them from scratch I reckon we would be able to get close enough to the Warden we are recreating to be happy. And hey, it would be better than nothing!

No idea how they would handle the personality/voiced part of the character though, at least not without upsetting some people.

I am conflicted. I don't really want to play Hawke in DA3, but I never want to stop hearing Nicholas Boulton talk.

Boulton seems to have worked fine for Bioware. He may probably end up like Meer, appearing everywhere doing one-scene-wonder characters.

doesn't mean they won't ever add in the option of a voice toggle and animation toggle

They won't. Apart from potentially ruining their cinematics that require voiced PC input (or deliberately designing the cinematics so the PC does not participate so as to not jar with players with voice disabled, which is like, half the reason they decided to use the voiced PC in the first place), it would reduce the value of their INVEESSTTMMEEEENNNTT

What is with everyone and toggles. NOT EVERYTHING IS HATS GUYS

well then that leaves a few other options that they could do one of:

• voice slider where you can adjust the sound of the voice, though I don't know how well that'd work for the Dalish elves
  
• multiple voices per character
  
• different voices for each race.

and maybe some others. David Gaider did say they haven't discarded the idea of origin stories.

The only "solution" I've thought of that makes any sense at all is de-linking accents and race, because that didn't make much sense anyway, and tie it to a location.

Social class aside, there's little reason why a City Elf, Surface Dwarf, or Human from the same place couldn't or shouldn't sound the same.

Then you could have a Rashomon-style "origin" for each of them, which covers the same event in the same place from different perspectives.  

Bam.  Voiced protagonist, racial options, and origins.

Regarding a mute toggle, I don’t see why not. The argument that it would spoil the game is wrong, imo. If someone is willing to use it, it is because, for them, the game would likely be spoiled without it.

They don’t really need accents for city elves and exiled dwarves, like Varric. So that could work.

I'm hoping this wont turn into a final-fantasy esque situation, new character every single installment.  That's way overdone already. It's even worse; when in a game like this, you form an attachment to 'your character'. I personally do not like the idea of  jumping from protogonist to protagonist, in this series. At the very least, I expect proper closure for hawke.

As for import bugs, please fix the remaining ones in DA2.
