I think the point of hawke, was showing why he/she became a figurehead for mages or templars.

I really like the Grey Wardens, they're one of the very best parts of the whole DA series. I don't see them being irrelevant at all, in fact just the fact that the next blight is so far away makes them potentially even 'more' interesting, because its so wide open just what they will be doing. If the blight was near we know what they'd be doing, recruiting an army to fight it. But now that there's relative peace on that front, what are they to do? There's so many different things. There's still the remaining darkspawn, there's all sorts of cool an interesting ancient locations to explore and mysteries to solve, you name it, the sky's the limit for the Wardens, and I really want the next Hero to be able to become one.

Speaking of the next Hero, I definitely want to play as Morrigan's child. Of course the Dark Ritual isn't cannon, nor should it be, but that doesn't have to really matter, since after all just because she didn't get the soul that way, doesn't mean she didn't get it some other way. She was sent to you by Flemeth in order to get that soul, is it even possible that Flemeth sent her there without giving her any kind of backup plan? Of course not, it was way too important to leave to 'maybe the Warden will go along with it, maybe the Warden won't, oh well let's just hope for the best', that doesn't strike me as Flemeth's way, or Morrigan's . I'd say let the main character be slightly more powerful or something, if you did the DR, but essentially the result should be the same, Morrigan getting the child that she wants. Of course one of the main draws of playing as Morrigan's child, in addition to the fact that Morrigan is very cool and if you're playing as her child then surely she's going to play a major role in the storyline, and that would be great, but the other reason is simply because playing as Morrigan's child would be a lot like playing as the main character in the BG series, it was a lot of fun then, and no doubt this version would be even better. Also, imagine all the potential power that Morrigan's child would have, then imagine that same child becoming a Warden! How cool would 'that' be? Way cool indeed!

so basically, no DLC, PAX was a bust... nice one BioWare

[Yuqi]

Pax was not a bust.
It's like getting way to much  cake, you get sick of it. However, if your given one peice of good-cake, and you can't get anymore; you want more cake. Very simple, easy, and basic knowledge in marketing.



We didn't get legacy that long ago,either.

Nope. It is only for those in attendance.

What Yuqi says is true! I would rather wait a year and get some mind blowing DLC or expansion , than get another crappy DLC next month.

[Beomer]

I don't know why they're being so secretive about the panel...I mean hell what were they showing? Plans for a new nuclear bomb?

Then it failed. i don´t see why they would stop their fighting if Hawke asks them to. The conflict is too deep and old for both sides, and one side probably hates Hawke anyway. I saw the game as the deconstruction of a myth. And finding out the main character is a bystander rather than the driving force behind the events doesn´t work in a game as well as in other media.

You sir, are absolutely right! I would take off my hat if I had one. 
It's very rare to hear someone saying that. it's nice to see other people thinking the same thing. Cheers!

IF they are doing just that, then i may wait, but at some point, especially when it comes to november, i will just not care anymore since i wont have energy left after so much Skyrim and MW3/BF3, and since i will playing those, by the time i finish, ME 3 should be out and DA 2 will be buried for me forever, since i will stick with Origins and forget DA 2 actually happened..

The myth can still be a figurehead precisely because the myth is so large. And a figurehead doesn't necessarily have the power to stope the conflict.

Um...Did you actually think they were going to officially announce something at 9:30PM on a Saturday night.

Lets try to think with some common logic now.

I believe what you're referring to was a forum attendee who was generous enough to try and film the panel for those of us who couldn't make it. Mike Laidlaw made the request not to record the event, however, so unfortunately it didn't work out.



I, too, find it curious as to why new screenshots, concept art and the general answers weren't made public. I'd almost think the content was still too much in an early phase to hand out any concrete examples, but then why show to the audience at PAX?

[SaintBeowulf]

Personally, my guess for the hero(ine) for DA3 is that they are a member of the Seekers, the group that was created by the chantry to watch over the Templars. Bioware said during their panel that they were tossing around the idea that you would be traveling all over an area about four or five times that of Feralden in DA3, and as a seeker, you would have no problem being able to go to those places, like Val Royeaux for instance.

Also, I do not believe that OGB is the new hero for two big reasons. One, is that he would be only ten years old or so at the end of DA2, and two, I believe that Flemeth is truly looking for him, not Morrigan, and that if she finds him, all of Thedas is screwed.

[AL-istaria]

I'm kind of baffled. Why make a statement that "hey, we're going to Pax, be there and get some swag, it's gonna be fun", make a point of excluding a much larger interested audience, and then have to spend the next week shooting down rumors about what did or didn't happen there? Once you tell fans you're going to be somewhere of course they want information, and when Bioware doesn't officially provide it, it's going to come from second party sources. It's just...stupid.

And then there's the whole warden kerfuffle. I accept that the Warden's story is finished. That's fine. DA:2 is a new game, new goals (such as they are). But then Bioware sticks a sentence in at the very end of the game "he's gone; just like the Warden". I didn't bring the Warden back into the mix. The people who made the game did. And now they're annoyed that they have to spend all this time stomping out rumors about whether the Warden will be a PC or an NPC, etc., but they did this to themselves.

So I have to conclude that either a) Bioware has no idea who's saying what to whom within their own organization and the tail is wagging the dog, or their intention is to spread all kinds of half-truths and unsubstantiated rumors and they like the fact that their audience, the people who keep them in business by buying their games, constantly wades through excitement/disappointment, confusion, and hope/cynicism. It's an odd way to proceed, especially given the reception of DA:2.

I'm at a loss.

It was a huge setup for DAIII, LOL. It gave the rest of Thedas a person to point the finger at. Hawke will forever be viewed as a pivotal person in the battle between chantry and mages; the one who started it all. History is funny that way.

The thing about playing Hawke that was amazing; is when you would come across situations that reflected the decisions the warden had made. I had the opportunity at times to think wth was the warden thinking, it was odd to second guess your decisions you had made as a warden. Ah, fun times. I look forward to experiencing the same in DAIII.

The biggest news I took from what was reported at PAX is that Maric had a second child-I didn't end the Theirin line by letting Anora execute Alistair. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 2nd Theirin child be the protagonist and set up a showdown between him/her and Anora and possibly my Warden/King Consort(if he reappears).

BTW-I'm ok with only getting NPC commentary about my Warden's return as long as I get a legitimate reason why he disappeared and an explanation for his return. I would like a Reunion cameo between my Kng Consort Warden and Anora though.

Didn't Maric had two children to begin with? Cailan and Alistair.

I heard that they showed a map of Thedas at PAX and pointed at a large part of it saying something along the lines of 'this is where we're going to take you in DA III'. 'This' being Orlais and Tevinter and a bit of its surrounding areas.

But seriously, why isn't Bioware showing anything? It's just going to fuel the rumors, some of which aren't right.

And does anyone has a clear picture of those T-shirts the devs were wearing? I only managed to see the pirate ship and the elven-looking tree.

They confirmed this? I hadn't seen anything about that. I'd be happy if this is true though. Ever since The Calling, I've wondered if there was a 3rd Maricspawn out there. I figured there would be, just for an easy way back into a future Ferelden conflict if Alistair died.

I'd be pretty happy playing a Maricspawn, because the book fans never got any closure with the statement that Maric was lost at sea. Still, I'd be interested in seeing where they said this at PAX.

[Dave of Canada]

In the item pack #2, there's a codex entry for the axe named Fiona which states that it belonged to the child's mother and that he fled Ferelden during the Blight.

Actually, that's not it. Or if it is meant to be her, it's not the picture I was referring to, in any case. The one I mentioned came quite a bit later, and pictured her walking away from a burning building. She was wearing red though, but there was no doubt it was Morri.

Uuuuh, I'd gladly want Morrigan to meet Sarcastic Hawke.
