Indeed, he died in Part 4.

Zero chance. He died in a cutscene.

No, a cutscene implied that he died. You just saw a Darkspawn run at him with an axe before it faded out.

That's the same thing.  It's a bit more elegant, but the same thing.

He's dead. The time between seeing him bent over the king's body and the axe swinging and the fading to white is too short to avoid it. He must be dead. Ofc being dead isn't always nog being in some DLC as a ghost or something like that. Or maybe even a desire demon as it is our desire (or at least Allistairs) to find him alive.

That white flash was actually the Maker intervening at the last second to save Duncan so he could return in the future.

It's not really the same thing.

While I agree that it's very unlikely he is supposed to have survived. If Duncan had been brought back later on in the game, we couldn't say we actually saw him die, just that we thought we saw him die. But if we'd seen a darkspawn decapitate him, then it would have been very surprising for Duncan to turn up later.

Anyway, the point is if Duncan had been brought back after the ambigious fade to white, I think we could have accepted that. As it is, he wasn't, so for BioWare to bring him back now would seem very fishy.

Nitpicking I know.

He swung an axe into Duncan's face.  Saying that Duncan survived after that incident would be a major retroactive continuity change.

Duncan is definitely dead.

We see a darkspawn introduce him to the business end of a massive two-handed battle axe in a cutscene. Duncan may have been hardcore, but I don't see him surviving an axe to the face.

You know, Fergus isn't Fergus. It's Duncan in disguise. He didn't want to confuse Alistair more than he already did with dying so he came back as someone else

The last thing I want to see is a returning Duncan in the form of a darkspawn or some ridiculous bs like that.

Duncan would sooner take his own life...

Older brother of the noble origin PC. Is supposed to be at Ostagar during the battle, is taken to be dead all the time until he mysteriously appears in the middle of the coronation ceremony after the archdemon is dead, presenting a ridiculous story about spending a year or so with chasind...

[EricHVela]

If he died, then who's reciting the post-archdemon... um... recitation?



(Okay. Time for bed. I can't think. For the record, I think he lost his head. Probably because he's allergic to grey iron... embedded in his neck.)

[NewYears1978]

I expected him to show up mid to near end game..but it never happened. It was a shame to see his awesomeness in The Calling..only to have him die so early in the game.

[Asante81]

All I want to do is LOOT HIS ARMOR!

It's the hottest looking piece of metal in the game. Period. I want it. And I don't care if he's still sticking in it or not...

What do you expect to find in "Return to Ostagar" ? (regarding Duncan, of course)

Hopefuly, his body and the possibility of giving him a propper funneral.

Here's the thing. I think Duncan is too good a character to kill off so early. But, making him survive Ostagar is not something I would endorse. If he survived Ostagar, that means he was doing nothing while we were doing all the work and that's not how Duncan rolls.
However, a Ghoul Duncan, turned mad by the taint, might be tolerable. Might. Or it might be horri ble, depending on how well written it is.

The important thing is Duncan's beard is immortal and it now seeks another worthy vehicle.

That beard is immortal.  Hit the nail on the head there, my friend.

I could see a future Dragon Age installment where one is either serving back in Duncan's prime, or he plays a vital role in a questline in the Fade (it's known peaceful spirits are there, they just do nothing), or something of the sorts.  OR, maybe his spirit remains, and he becomes the next archdemon!

I'm a bit confused because i don't know where is "Return to Ostagar" located in the time line.  If it happens before the landsmeet, or after, or when you go to kill Flemeth (the zones are not that far from each other).

Besides, if that Rhiordan guy was there before the Grey Wardens, it's just sensible to expect that he buried the corpse or something when he picked the shield up. Maybe we'll find some sort of memorial? 

I believe that Duncan had to die because it's a key event in the game storyline. It triggered many other events. Think of it.

Duncan isn't worth his mighty beard! He died to a Ogre punch. Oghren can get eaten by Dragons, punched by Ogres, vomited by Broodmothers, Flamed by every mage, but he will still be there in the end! Oghren's the man!!
