Maybe in DA3?
It would serve them right and keep them from declaring exalted marches when they get bored [for a while anyway].
Hopefully it would ruin them enough so they couldn't invade anyone.
I wonder if karma exists in Thedas.

Only If we don't have to play an Orlesian.
I would like an option to sit there and giggle as they get nommed by an archdemon.

I don't want to see another Blight. Having back-to-back Blights wouldn't be entertaining. 30 Darkspawn scurrying up from the surface wouldn't pose much of a threat.

To be honest, I wouldn't like Orlais for DA3, I'm just too annoyed with their accent. French is beautiful language, but having English with French accent is just too damn annoying, and after Comtesse de Launcet, I find it abominable. I don't like the idea of going around and being forced to listen that constantly. I'd rather go for Tevinter itself or even Anderfels, but Orlais - no thank you.

I agree with everyone else. Their accents would drive me insane. But, it would be pretty funny to watch them get taken down a notch. Another war with Orlais? Yes please. ;]

Orlais was already involved in the 2nd and 3rd Blights, I believe, so they may have filled their quota for darkspawn hordes running amok.

Regarding karma in Thedas - I think it exists to a degree. It just may be rather slow in manifesting itself. Off the top of my head, Captain Jeven might be a good example of karmic come-uppance.

Nah, they will destroy themselves by calling Exalted Marches.

Only because you are part darkspawn.

What if Flemeth appears to make crispy darkspawn snack treats?

Where the next Blight needs to be is the unnamed Qunari homeland. That way we get to find out more about it.

I don't want another Blight or more Grey Wardens to save the day....I like the cool and mysterious Wardens shown in Legacy and with Avernus.

I suspect the focus of future games (if only those in the immediate future) will be about preventing Blights - as hinted with the Architect and within Legacy. It's sort of the dangling carrot.

I agree with mousestalker though - I think we will see the lands of the Kossith/Qunari. There are too many secrets there that are begging to be uncovered.

I don't know. I think it might have to do with this "Magic War" thing Flemeth and Morrigan continue talking about.

I agree with Dave (I know, right?).  The Fifth Blight was very short for a Blight, but the darkspawn still suffered heavy loses.  They need time to replenish their numbers, especially if it's going to happen close to Ferelden.  If it was the Anderfels they might be able to pull off a decent Blight since it's so far from Ferelden that their forces couldn't have made it to join up with the Archdemon in time.  Maybe.  But Orlais?  Their darkspawn need some time to lick their wounds.  And by lick their wounds, I mean turn pompous Orlesian noblewomen into broodmothers.  Which in some cases could be an improvement.

Also, I don't know why everyone says "No Orlesian games!  I don't want to hear the accents!"  I very highly doubt there would be a game full of accents anyway.  There's multiple ways they can explain it away and since they know people would hate it if they put the accents in, they'd be foolish to do it.  The Free Marches didn't have a different accent from Ferelden's.  And Ferelden itself was supposedly represenative of ye olde England, yet there's no English accents.

Wat? Did you only listen to elves and dwarves or something?

Also, I think Asunder will handle everything in Orlais and that the final game will be set in Tevinter. At least, that's what I hope.

Darkspawn supposedly discover the Old Gods by accident. So what if, before their numbers are up, they do discover an Old God. Would they hold off the blight?

Err, no? I was with a woman that was born and raised in London for 8 years and it ended... badly. Suffice to say, the English accent puts me in a mood somewhere between "agitated" and "Anders 5 seconds after meeting Ser Alrik." I may be the only person in the world who can watch The Nanny and say "that voice makes me envy the deaf" and not be talking about Fran Drescher. I definitely think I would've noticed any significant amount of it in DAO.

Or do you mean the way that they spell and such? "Grey Wardens" instead of "Gray Wardens" for instance. Bioware is a Canadian company, and Canada usually spells in UK English rather than American English. Come to think of it, they measure distance in miles in Thedas even though Canada is on the metric system rather than the imperial system or that bastardized metric/imperial hybrid the UK has. And they spell it "armor" not "armour"... ... Now I'm confused.

Also, I think Asunder will handle everything in Orlais and that the final game will be set in Tevinter. At least, that's what I hope.


Final game? Dragon Age isn't supposed to be a trilogy, just Mass Effect. They've never told us how many DA games they want to make. Which is understandable because lord knows we'd never let them forget it if they said 5 and it went to 7.

Only a dev could truly answer that. But I think they'd just invade with less than usual strength.

Hm. What accent does everyone have in Ferelden, then? I'm not intimately familiar with English accents per se, but I know it's something British. Of course, London accents are far from the only English ones...

Something like "brother genitivi code:find the mysteries behind Andraste's flame in the street of Orlais" Could be really funny to find out that the Chantry hide some dirty secrets about the Blight.
I don't think they 're going to make Orlais a big cliché with sticky cheese and bad accent everywhere.
Besides we saw Ferelden whose buildings were mostly ugly , and Kirkwall ,all Tevinter architecture.
Orlais is supposed to be the center of power /knowledge and faith should be marvelous.
