I understand in the book Asunder, she dies at the end.  But will this have any affect on Dragon Age 3 or any future content?  I'm not sure what affect the DA books and comic books have on the over all story.

I recall Bioware bringing Leliana back for DA2 even if you kill her in Origins, so I'm not sure how it works with them.

They retconned the death of Leliana because she was more useful as a plot device than as a corpse lying in the gauntlet, I believe. If the Warden killed Leliana, it was very unceremonious and abrupt, with very little usefulness in terms of metaplot.

However, Wynne's death serves a purpose, and it was very well done IMHO. I seriously doubt they would retcon their own tie-in fiction, especially one as good as Asunder.

Just curious, troll question, or is this a legit question? It doesn't even seem like it would need answering in the first place

I'm not trying to troll, I havent read any of the books and don't know if they tie into the game or not.  I'm also not sure, after the Leliana thing, how they deal with the death of characters.  In the Mass Effect series, I know that if Wrex or Jack die, I won't see them again, but I'm no longer sure how Dragon Age does it.

Maybe I'm being a little negative, But I am gunuinely curious about this

If I recall right, the devs stated that the books and games each have their own canon. What happens in one is not guaranteed to happen in the other.

Ahh, well that does explain quite a bit...

If this is true, we may just see Wynne in DA3.

Wynne's status is dead. She always gets acquainted with the business end of my sword in the Broken Circle.

That's not what it means. It means that if your choices conflict with book lore, your choice is weighed above the books take on it. At least with characters that aren't vital to the world-centric plots. It's like if you kill the Architect, yet he reappears in a book set later, your game-canon would still have him dead. The consequence is, Either you lose that quest/ storyline or it's changed to fit Corypheus who is theorized to survive no matter what you do by posessing a new body OR the book was about how he got back to life, leaving the illusion of choice broken, as he lives regardless. No matter what, your actions should be acknowledged. There were minor discrepancies between DA:O and DAII, but the future plan seems to be more on your choices on a franchise-wide level.

This means that your world will have a sprawling surge of Dwarf Scholars on the subject of Magic and Lyrium trade flourishes, while in mine, the dwarves segregated themselves and only sell Lyrium at extrotionate prices. There might even be gamecontent exlusive to or greatly changed by only one of these outcomes.

No matter how you cut it, Wynne is living on borrowed time, we all knew that. She's gone bro. I'm sorry.

I don't know man, after DA2 I'm not sure what Bioware considers "death" anymore

[BomimoDK]

One thing is onscreen murder that happens by a branch of choice. Wynne was always out of your hands. she's gone bro. All gone.

I understand retconning Lelianna's possible death for DA2 was a bad move. But I think it was done because very few people actually killed her and Bioware thought most people would want to see more of her. Basically she was popular.

Wynne, however, was never terribly popular, and since they've gone to the effort of making her death an actual event (even if it is in the books rather than the game), I wouldn't be expecting to see her again in any games which chronologically follow Asunder.

what, wynne dies? that book hasnt been announce yet in Australia :S

If they killed her, that might be a good indacation that they don't want to see more of her.  I think it's just Bioware being lazy and replacing our chioces with canons of their own
And Wynne was only somewhat unpopular amoung the other Origins characters.  I'd choose her over most of the DA2 characters.

Wynn is  old , so she is considered expandable . 
Though personallly I'd prefer her instead of Morrigan, with her overly sarcastic replices .

 I think I killed Wynne myself, did I not? Im confused now.

[HooshaHoosha123]

I think it depends on when DA3 takes place. Dragon Age Asunder happens sometime after the events of DA2. DA2 starts just after the destruction of Lothering in Origins. If DA3 starts at around the same point as Asunder then it's still possible Wynne will appear as a side character somewhere, or maybe in a flashback or something.

[Rosinante]

I hope not. I hope she disappears completely. I hope to be spared all the self-righteous condescending bullcrap.

[vortex216]

I think its 50-50. wynne wuz old and half-dead already. although i dont think that the books will have an impact on the series
