I expect the new protagonist to be a seeker!

As to the forst name... ABSOLUTLY NOT! I mean people had a problem with the fact that Hawke had a set in surname. It eroded the immersion. If they make a set first name they might as well take away choices and dialogue options and make us play the game like they want us to. Ok thats over exageration but really NO!

Nonsense, the PC's in Origins had surnames too.

Eh, I kinda agree with you on some points. Here's what I think:
-It will probably take place in Orlais, considering it is the centerpoint of many plot threads. Wynne and Shale left for Orlais, Bodahn and Sandal are working in Orlais, and also consider the "The Stone Lives beneath Orlais" comment from the mysterious golem. Lots of hints at Orlais.

-The PC COULD be a Warden, but will probably be a seeker. Why? Because the Seekers:
A. Are neutral in the conflict, allowing for support of either Templars and Mages
B. Were just introduced in DA2. Think, why would Bioware introduce a brand-new faction into the game when they were just peripheral characters in DA2? Cassandra could have easily been a templar sent by the Divine.
C. Make it more likely that the PC will be working with Cassandra and Leliana. Look at the build-up Bioware is creating for Cassandra, and remember how important Leliana is to DA.
D. Give the PC authority to recruit companions for his/her quest.

What do I think the plot will be about? If the PC is a Seeker, than it is highly likely that the PC's goal will be to stop the mage-templar war. This could let Bioware give the player multiple avenues to achieve this goal, by defeating the Templars/Mages, or by having both signing a peace treaty, or by some other means (maybe this involves the hints that magic will be given to all people, not just mages, like the golem implied). I think the ultimate goal for the PC will be to take the unified nation to defeat the "grave" threat mentioned by Stroud in DA2. This makes the structure of the game similar to Origins: Recruit allies>>>>End civil war>>>>Defeat grave threat to Thedas. Seems likely to me.

If DA 3 is set in or partly set in Orlais I hope Bioware doesn't cave in and make all the accents sounds British and American...

[DarkAmaranth1966]

I would prefer a choice of backgrounds, Seeker, Enchanter, Knight Captain, even an option to play my Hawke again. I do not think Warden appropriate if this one is all about the mage war as they cannot be involved in such matters.

But that would have to include a crossover with SWTOR and ME since he's mentioned in these universes as well.

"Dragon Age III's" protagonist will be a choice between a Templar, Mage, and Warden.

Even before I read this thread, I'd hoped that the character would have a first name that was part of the vocie acting. I think there should be a choice in what the playable character's first name should be. Like you can choose from a list of names. One of my favorite aspects of the game is you are able to decide what your charater looks like. 
I like the idea of having a place or origin to start out at. Whose to say a warrior can't be a thug in a thieves guild, or a rouge that is in the city guard or come from a wealthy family. I always had my Cousland female be a rouge. I like having the option to be whatever I want to be. I think it would be fun to be a lyrium smuggler. I love the idea of Alain helping out at the other circle. I like how the Warden and Hawke started out being a nobody and became important people because of the stuations that they were thrown into. I think origins stories are an important part of what helps your character stay grounded. I like the idea of the mage having a brother or sister in the circle with you. Maybe start out you have a sibling in the circle or have a close friend in the templars. I like that idea.

The PC should be an undefined as possible.

something similar to Neverwinter Nights would be great. Protagonist would better to be a seeker in training but happens to be involved as a key person in this templar/mage warfare. Still I hope there will be a fully customizable main character unlike Hawke in DA2.

To mirror others, I have a feeling DA3's protagonist is going to be a seeker. With Cassandra being introduced through the framed narrative as such a important looking character, to Asunder discussing the Seekers, to the fact that the anime coming out in February is about Cassandra and is called "Rise of the Seeker" I think they are really pushing the Seekers as the new Jedi order to replace the Gray Wardens.

Not literally, of course. But by making the Seekers as the new "cool" group, it only makes sense that the new protagonist of DA3 will be a Spectre... I mean Seeker, Seeker. I apologize, I don't know where that other word possibly came from...

Well, I’d like to hear your thoughts. Also feel free to discuss anything else that would make for great story following the events of DA:2. Anything could happen, and I hope Bioware makes the best of it and returns Dragon age to the RPG it’s supposed to be.

My thoughts on Dragon Age III... I've said before I'm not interested in Dragon Age III if we are limited to being a Seeker - I want the freedom of choice in choosing multiple origins and multiple races. I'm not looking to restore the status quo, and I'd like to purchase a game where my protagonist will have meaningful choices to make, and possible factions to side with. I'd like for the world to react to the protagonist being human, elven, dwarven, or otherwise instead of being 'blind' to the protagonist (especially if the protagonist is a mage and uses magic in front of people).

I'd imagine that there could be factions among the myraid of rogue templars and rogue mages struggling over Thedas. Also, I like the mage class, so I doubt a mage would be an 'elite templar,' and I get a little tired of the human protagonist that is abundant in most games - I prefer the variety that would come with the elven and dwarven options (and I don't think people would mind seeing the Kossith avaliable as well). Allowing for the rogue templars and rogue mages to be fleshed out, three-dimensional characters, would be a good idea (similar to the approach Skyrim takes with the Legion and the Stormcloaks being two flawed groups that have their own strengths and weaknesses).

That's an interesting thought, and a possibility. How would that work with classes? Are Seeker's able to be mages considering they are Chantry 'employees'? If not, I wonder if BioWare would take such a risk of not allowing the player to be a magic-user... would certainly upset some people (myself included, I always play magic-users in these games).

I had a few thoughts about who the new pc in da 3 and my favorite is an abomination.
You start as a mage (human or elf doesnt matter) and at some point in the origin you are put in a dire situation where your two choices were to die along with your friends or accept the demon and save them all at the cost of your humanity, now once you became an abomination you get the choice to be warrior, mage or rouge (as we all know most abominations dont cast that many spells just hit you) and depending on your choice you will have different skills but will be abel to do basic magic and meele no matter your choice (demon strength and onece a mage), your appearence is still human/elf (whatever you ( or bw) chose) but have a special skill/spell similar to Anders "Vengence" from da 2.
Once you accepted the demon by some mirracle you remained in control (like flemeth) and saved your friends and fellow mages but afterwards you left the tower and started thinking of what you should do now, while listening to the demon talking to you saying things like: "why are you running pc whith my power you can kill them all and use their blood to make you stong" (or something like that) and then you decided to go to tevinter where you might be abel to live a semi-normal life because there a no templars in tevinter, and once there you find some work to do while hiding your magic from everyone, and that would be the origin story and then we go a few months in the future when you fit in now and everything is as it should be the chantry starts invading tevinter so you have to run again before they catch you and then you start meeting companions while your running and eventually the pc gets sick of running and decides to do something about the mage/templar war and get offers to join warious groups (wardens maybe since they do whatever it takes to stop blights, thus accepting abominations) but I cant write it all down now so if anyone could just tell me what they think about this would really appretiate it.

sorry for any spelling errors

Let me choose a race, customize my looks, etc. and then I can live with the horrible dialog wheel. You know the one where you choose "no Thanks" and your character goes on a rant, kills the person asking for help, burns the house down, trims the hedges, etc. and you are left thinking "but I just picked 'no thanks'."

I get that you're doing the hyperbole thing, but it wasn't THAT bad.

I recall maybe 3-4 times where I was surprised by the speech, but it still was in-line with the meaning of the text option.

Well in the first Mass Effect, I do recall a dialogue wheel incident where what I thought was a cogent rhetorical point results in shooting a man in the head. (For the curious, it occurs on Feros, when discussing the colonist situation with the corporate shill. He says something like "Nobody's going to miss a bunch of colonists" and if you say "Nobody would miss you either," you whip out a pistol and kill him right there. It's nice to get a heads up about that kind of thing, if you're planning to convince him to rebuild the colony.)

And in both Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins, I occasionally select flirtatious options without realizing it. (Though it's hard to miss "Is your fruit forbidden" in any case.) Luckily, DA 2 has remedied that with the logos in the middle, for the most part. (I'd still like a heads up any time I'll be killing people.)

DA3 main character has to be a nobody and I want to be able to play as an elf.. A better looking elf that whatever da2 has.
I dont want to play as a seeker/templar.. if the main character start as one then... i won't be buying it and I dont care how cool being seeker or templar are, having them as lovers of the main character thats ok, to play as one of them is nOT ok.
I like to play as a mage, I dont think a mage can start as seeker or templar it would be ridiculous!

Come to think of it, the ability to join/not join the Wardens or another group, like the Seekers, would be interesting. Character background then choice, mid-game.

Induction into the Wardens would be a good opportunity for a "where are they now," for a lot of characters. As I recall, somebody who's played Origins, Awakening, and DA2 could have...

The Warden, Alistair, Loghain, Oghren, Nathaniel Howe, Sigrun, Velanna, and Bethany/Carver inducted into the Grey Wardens and alive.

[Fast Jimmy]

I like the idea of choosing a background, THEN choosing a faction later on down the line.

The Chantry has shown that they are willing to deploy mages during times of war (see Wynne at Ostagar), so a mage joining the Chantry faction is doable for them to still go around fighting and exploring.

Being a Seeker-mage would be a hard obstacle to overcome... but I can see them hand waving it. Or they can just do like they did in DA2 and have no one realize you are a mage at all?

[Arakiel12409]

Or it could be a mage like Keili in Origins: Someone who is indoctrinated into the laws and viewpoints of the Chantry in a way that he would even turn on his own people in the full expectation of serving the Maker.

[K_Tabris]

I like the idea of the new protagonist being a Seeker. Wish we can play as an elf again, though.

I dont want to play a brain watched mage..<_< And many players including me do not want their character defined for them..
My characters life starts when I name them, I don't care about their pass, what matters to me is only their present and if I like them enough their future. If their present is been a seeker or templar then i won't buy the game, is that simple.

Yeah... If I am forced to play pro-chantry it will be the last dragon age game I play.
