 I know this has been asked in many different ways and many times. Still after obsessively searching the internet and these forums I am very unclear about how Dragon Age is developing in terms of story and world continuity.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the games and expansions of this franchise. Really! But I do find that there remains a certain unclarity about what we players can maybe expect from Bioware when it comes to how you desire us to invest our time in creating our own story. There are so many loose ends story wise, especially when it comes to Origins and how important our choices in the game will affect the future. First of all, this is ok with me, I am just unclear.. It is also important for me to add that I don't feel an obsessive attachment to my characters. In fact, I like the idea of playing a new protagonist for each Dragon Age game. But should I be worried about making the wrong choices? Because already when I decied to do the Ultimate Sacrifice, very pleased with that choice when it was limited only to the storyline of Origins but confused and unsure of my choice when I realized that choice can't be transferred through Awakenings and on to Dragon Age 2 in a "satisfying" way. It is not enough for me to ressurect my Warden in Awakenings and then have Dragon Age 2 fix it so that my Warden actually wasn't ressurected. It makes me feel like I am not getting everything out of the game. I feel like I am faking the story I created through my choices. In the sense that I don't want to transfer my saves and instead just pay the games as completely seperate experiences. I also feel worried about hearing rumours of "the Warden" returning in a cameo. Even if it would not be important plot wise, taking the choice of the Ultimate Sacrifice feels like loosing out on psychological connection between the game and my personal shaping of the story through my choices; In the sense that if I loose out on those kind of cameos I might as well play the games without importing and as seperate experiences; which is fine with me if that is how you (the developers) desire us to approach the situation. Would the developers agree with me on this? Or are you confident that if I just decide to transfer my Origins save without an awakening continuation, into Dragon Age 2 and then further to a possible Dragon Age 3 and that would ultimately not have a large impact on my game experience? The Dark Ritual or Ultimate Sacrifice has been called the single biggest choice in Origins, but what is its importance beyond the limits of Origin as a contained story? I don't expect you to tell me what is going to happen, I am just asking you to give me some clarity in how you yourselves would approach this situation as a player.

This is not criticism, and not disapointment. I guess I am asking for advice and the personal opinions of Bioware's developers. To me Dragon Age is an RPG, a fantastic RPG about the characters and their choices in a complicated world and the consequences of the characters choices are fascinating to see unfold. I know I can't expect or demand an answer about what will happen in the future. But I would love to just hear a little bit about the dev teams philosophy concerning these things. And again, I just want to say, I loved the games, I don't think you did anything wrong in the sense of not living up to the fans expectations or any of that sort of thing. I would just like to receive some clarity about the philosophy and goal of save imports and story/world continuation.

Thank you!

It's unlikely you'll get a dev response here. Most of them seem to have migrated to the DA2 forums.
