Well, Orlais has Orlesian girls. That settles it for me.

[TastesLikeTNT]

Oh, tough one. I would say Tevinter, because it's structured so differently from other human cultures in Thedas and it would be interesting to see what it's like from the inside instead of just hearing about it. More so than Orlais. But still, Orlais has style. Depending on how it turned out, I might just trade Tevinter for the chance to indulge in Orlesian fashion. I'd want my hair in the shape of an elaborate theater stage where little trained rats in flowery dresses dance to lute music.

Since from all the little hints we get from DA2, I think the highest possible location we'll be visiting in DA3 is Orlais, and that's exactly where I wanna go actually.

First and foremost, I would have said Orlais is the #1 location everything is pointing at. Orlesian grey wardens abound (Awakenings/DA2), Bodahn & Sandal, etc.

Secondly, though, you have to take into account how reluctant might be to base all of their storyline in one location after negative feedback regarding the re-use of Kirkwall maps.

Third, I hear them talk about several locations, rather than just one, so I guess we'll see another map akin to Ferelden, or perhaps an even greater scale (which I think will lead to the player losing focus, but then.... it's just a guess).

Don't really see how the qunari would suddenly overwhelm Tevintar as for over 150 years the two of them have been fighting each other to an effective stalemate over Par Vollen.

Of course, but if the PC were given the option to remove some of the big players in Tevinter...

I would side with Tevinter over the Qunari every day of the week and twice on sundays.  The Qunari enslave everyone.  The Tevinters only enslave some.  There is also a chance Tevinter might be made to change, eventually.

Nothing against Orlais but I'd much rather go to Tevinter. It seems like much more interesting region of the world.

Me personally...well I would like to visit Orlais because I want to kick some Chevalier butt. Sentence with death for defending a girl, and I'll conscript every chevalier who comes to kill me into the Legion of the Dead to fight the real enemy...what I can't? Dang.

Joking aside, I do want to see more of Orlais and have some influence on whether or not they invade Ferelden again.

But I also want to go to Tevinter. Simply to see what their society is like. One Archon outlawed slavery and was swiftly assassinated because the entire country has relied on slaves for so long that they don't know how to function without them.

If the plot of DA3 involves Orlais reconquering Ferelden, I ain't buying it.

If the DA team had any sense (which I think they do) they're probably saving Tevinter for an engine upgrade/overhaul maybe even for the next console gen. I prefer it that way tbh. I want to see a very polished and jaw-dropping Tevinter anyway.

I agree about wanting Tevinter to be polished and jaw-dropping. Not sure if I can wait until another console however.

Yeah but isn't Val Royeaux the biggest city in thedas (besides Qunandar I think), they should be saving Orlais and Val Royeaux for the polished jaw-dropping experience

Yeah but Kirkwall was one city, Orlais is a whole country, same with Tevinter - The first game was based all in Ferelden (well Exept Orzammar sort of) and that worked out, so basing it across one whole country would be fine.

[Foolsfolly]

Tevinter also has the best history. Who broke the elves? Tevinter. Who is the only nation with mage rulers? Tevinter. Who suffered the first Blight? Tevinter. Who created the darkspawn? Tevinter. Who did the old gods give magic to? Tevinter. Who fought off the Qunari? Tevinter.

Just the best history.

And isn't Orlais primarily swampland? Who wants to trudge around in swamps? Tevinter has mountains and I believe jungles (at the very least I know nearby Scheron has jungles). So speaking purely on aesthetics of the region Tevinter wins out again.

We're told Orlasian fashion is elegant and amazing but we haven't seen it yet. Any Orlasian we've met so far wears the same things as any other noble in Ferelden or Kirkwall. But Mark of the Assassin's likely to add some fashion. Plus we finally see Chevaliers (and I love their look, if the guy in the trailer is a Chevalier).

[Morroian]

Tevinter because IMHO its more interesting.

[ladyofpayne]

Orlais. Because I am so tired of crazey Blood mages ands simple BM. And I want in my party Orlesian shevalier.

Let's use blood magic on the Divine to declare an exalted march on Orlais.

The Thedas / Qunari conflict is far more interesting than the mage / templar conflict imo, thats why ACT II was so much better than ACT III in DA2 =D

No that was because the writing for Act 2 was much better.

Second the writing. I just went through Act 2 again and am now in early Act 3 (doing side missions). Act 2 is just a fantastic section of that game. The writing shines in that act more than Act 1 (which had its good moments, plenty) and far more than Act 3.

It's just so so good. Not only is the Qunari storyline well thoughout, well paced, and well written but that act also happens to have Leandra's death, the Fade mission, Aveline's father speech, the love interests becoming love interests, and Sebstain's second (and best) quest. It's just such a good act.

The Mage/Templar argument is an interesting one just not as well done as the Qunari/Chantry/Kirkwall storyline. Plus it hinges on a plot device and insanity while the Qunari story is a boils over as Hawke tries to stem it. It was great and the characters involved behaved in their ways because it's who they are (Arishok, Isabela) or what they believe (Petrice, Viscount, Aveline). The eventual war being both a triumphant for Hawke and a failure.

Just an extremely well done act. I don't think the Qunari are more interesting (they might be) than the mage storyline it's just all down to execution. Act 2 was just plain done better.

[Ponendus]

I have to go with Tevinter also. I am just too fascinated with the whole history of the darkspawn and who was responsible, and is the chantry lying and, and, and I just must know!

Tevinter seems to be where most answers would likely lie, so I'm going with that.

[Nimrodell]

Tevinter definitely - far away from Orlesian accent... just imagine listening to French/English through the entire game, god forbid. Leliana's version is not that bad, but Majorlaine's or Dulci's, ugh, true sound abomination... so please anywhere, just not bloody Orlais.

[spiritofretribution]

I expect to see both Orlais AND Tevinter (and Par Vollen, Anderfels, the Donnarks and the lands beyond the Amaranthine Ocean too) in DA3, if not I will be disappointed and I won't buy the game, I also  will bash the game on every opportunity I get. And I will spend the time I expected to play the game on the BSN forums puking vitriol and moaning on about how Mike Lamelow, Darth Gayder and EA (Evil Arts) are ruining the RPG genre.[/obvious sarcasm]

However it would be neat indead if DA3 takes place in Orlais and you will visit Tevinter once or twice.

EDIT: typos & spelling

I'd love to go visit the empire that gave birth to almost all the civilized luxuries the Human societies in Thedas enjoy today.

And I wouldn't change a thing. Mage supremacy is the best kind of government.

[RagingCyclone]

I would prefer Orlais. I am tired upon tired of dealing with mages after six runs of DA2. I want to see other aspects of Thedas besides the mages...there are other things surely.

[Arthur Cousland]

There is no escaping the mages when they can invade your dreams. What Feynriel can do is creepy. He's basically Theadas' version of Freddy Kreuger.

No kidding. I believe I properly numbed myself to the whole mage/templar thing by the 10th playthrough. I have one straggler pt out there that I just can't finish due to boredom (that, and it's my male Hawke version...*yawn*).

I hope that if we do visit Orlais, that the accents aren't of the Ghyslain de Carrac variety. The accent might be right, but it doesn't sound good with the VA's voice. I'm mean, I know. I live with it every day.

I realize that we can't completely evade them, but at least Orlais is not mage central.

Where Sandal goes, the story follows.

Orlais.

A benevolent Freddy Krueger. He can turn your slumber into a wet dream as well as a nightmare.
