I'd like to learn more about the dragons themselves, the ancient Tevinter Imperium, the Qunari and about blood magic.

[grumpyboobyhead]

Tevinter Empire I'd like discovered.

And I'd like to learn more of the origins of the Qun'ari since in the game DA 2, it's hinted they appeared out of nowhere.

Though I haven't read the books so if it's in anyone of them, forget I said anything.

Honestly, I am going to be even more disappointed in the Dragon Age franchise than I was with DA2 if it turns out the version told by the Chantry about the Maker, Andraste and origins of the darkspawn is even like 50% correct.

As much as I want "answers" I don't necessarily want things laid out in cut and dry, black and white terms, especially for things that are ancient in the history of the world. I just want more possible and plausible "answers" presented to the player in a more direct way of showing and not telling.

I liked how the Sacred Ashes quest worked for instance. You clearly see supernatural crazy stuff going on firsthand. You can't deny that stuff is happening. But you're given sort of equally valid possibilities as to the "how" of whats going on- is it actually something divine or is it just something due to lyrium? Its left open ended and  neither side can be necessarily viewed as the "right." answer.

I don't necessarily want everything said by the Chantry to be 100% correct, but I also don't want 100% of it to be debunked so the player is forced to go around calling religion a fraud. Leave it 50/50 but where the game gives you enough solid evidence both ways for the player to make up their own mind as to whats going on.  So after seeing certain events and evidence, the player character can feasibly go around espousing the virtues of the Chantry's teachings just as much as they can say they're wrong and there would be evidence to support and refute both avenues.

I have my own pet theory on what "really happened" in regards to the Maker, the Golden City, Tevinter, old gods and dragons, darkspawn, elves ancient lost magical knowledge, the Fade and the dwarven lack of gods / resistance to lyrium / inability to enter the fade/dream ... but I'm not saying I have to be RIGHT about those.

Nor that religion NEEDS to be debunked (this IS a fantasy setting with clear magic, after all)...

Just that what BioWare has created with Dragon Age is the possibility at using tropes of high fantasy, turning them on their heads, and delivering something very unique and special.  It's in the mix, but it could easily be lost either by leaving everything ambiguous or by ending up with everything being as straightforward as the myths and legends tell (Chantry, dalish, etc.)  More than anything they have the chance to show how history and myth can be perverted over time by those in power.

I love the world as it exists - no matter how much the game design and story of DA2 was a major let down, Thedas still draws me in and I'm hopeful against hope that BioWare turns it around with DA3.

So I want to see answers and a clear path.  Not everything written out in detail, no, but I'd like the hints and clues to be dropped that clearly point to a unique history and not the generic, cliche'd fantasy fare that  Dragon Age appears to be at its surface level.

EDIT - And I'm still not clear enough.  I'll try and be more precise.

I sincerely hope the Chantry version of what happened (Golden City, Maker turning his back, Andraste) is mostly wrong BUT based on kernels of truth, enough that it's easy to see how the story was morphed over time.  Ther can clearly BE a Maker deity, or many deities, or whatever... but the Chantry version, as told, with all the things you can learn in the games and supplemental materials, should be mostly fabricated.

I would like to know more about the Grey Wardens and some of their secrets.

I also noticed that Mass Effect 3 toned down the RPG features by increasing the amount of auto-dialog and limiting the conversation wheel to only two options.

Our writing style will be similar to DAII, though not exactly alike; more on that when we have something to show. So, no, not a ton of autodialog.

Ok...just want to say you made my day!  I'd rather have it that way than all that dialog.

Something else that would be cool to find out: Will Anders be leading/heavily involved in the mage rebellion if we didn't kill him in DA2?

[Elynwyd Gelein]

I would like to see Elvhenan reborn, I would like to see glory of elves rebuild

[loaklt1]

I'd like to discover more about 3 things in upcoming Dragon Age games:

1). Kal Sharok and dwarves in general. For me, the dwarves were the most interesting race in DA:O, simply because their society was dwarvish but without to many clichés. An ideal mixture of traditional fantasy standards and a darker, more realistic image of ancient societies. And Kal Sharok could be an interesting place, because you'd be able to discover more about it's conflict with Orzammar and the strange customs of the local dwarves by visiting it.

2.) The Grey Wardens. Yeah, they are a bit of a standard fantasy order of knights in shining armor who fight all evil. But they also were one of the most important story parts in DA:O and DA:A and shaped the feeling of this game/addon. I personaly think that they therefore deserved a bit more attention-the player character doesn't have to be a warden him/herself, but their involvement in the world's fate should definitely be mentioned in a proper way. Could also be interesting if there were internal quarrels among the wardens or similar things about the mage/templar war and which side is the right one.

3.). Darkspawn history and talking darkspawn: Was especially interesting in DA:A (and probably Legacy, did'nt play that one). The talking darkspawn had lot's of potential, which wasn't used enough because the addon's story was to short. For me it's a quite fascinating part of Thedas to see how this evil came into the world and how much of the Chantry's and other stories about it is true (or false).

I hope my English is understandable, I'm from Germany^^

Another thing that I'd like to note is DLC. I know it's inevitable, and that's fine, but I would like Day 1 DLC to be included with all new copies of the game, not just the collector's edition, like you did with Shale & like Arkham City did with their Catwoman DLC.

I flubbed the due date on the DA2 Signature Edition so I had to settle for the standard game, but soon copies of it everywhere a couple of days after release. I didn't think that was very fair because if I would've just not pre-ordered at all and come back a few days later, I'd have been able to get all the extra freebies for the same price. When Mass Effect 3 came out, Sears/Kmart cancelled my pre-order the day after release and didn't refund my money immediately, so again I missed a collector's edition. It'd be nice to just know that I'm getting an nice bonus piece of the game for buying new, regardless of what kind of bad luck I encounter in purchasing it.

Id like to see our players relationships honored with extremley juicy storylines. It would be awsome to see the consequences of choosing to be intimate with a particular character, we all have our favorites. Me personally Im in love with Anora, and on my particular playthrough my warden chooses to marry her, Id love to see something become of the relationship (KIDS!!! if the warden can even have any). What are the effects of letting Loghain live, Exiling alaistair, and please do NOT trump the warden's story he/she is probably the most dear character to all of the dragon age fans. Leilaina & Morrigan relationships? Leliana is now the right hand of the divine..how does her relationship with the warden affect the world, Morrigan is gone through some portal ( im assuming to the lost city Arlathan) The Old God Baby!!?!?! what if your warden was Queen of Ferelden alongside Alistair how does this affect the world? Isabela seems to be a common denominator between everyone, Her & Hawke, Hawke & Merril? what does that do for the Elves & Mages? WHO THE HELL IS FIONAS SON? (cause i really dont think its alistair) What are the consequences of Corypheus presumambly being unleashed by Hawke, The Architecht living or dying?  Hawke being viscount? The emperors throne in Orlais is presumably up for grabs considering the events of asunder (and we know about those damned Orlesians and their "Game") and why does flemeth have her bloody fingerprints on everybodys story Warden, Hawke, Maric, Whats the connection? Are all of them descendants of Calenhad or something because they all went missing...and um the silent grove needs royal blood for their dragons.  you guys sure do have alot of questions to answer.

I'd like to learn more about the Ancient Times. I'd be particularly interested in a game set during the Ancient Times.

The history is worth investigating. David has said that there may come a time when Dragon Age games are no longer set during the Dragon Age, and given that, why not go backward? The Glory Age or the Black Age. There are bound to be good stories there.

[Apollo Starflare]

I would love to see more about the Fade in the way it is commonly described (trippy dreamscape where all sorts of weird, wonderful and terrifying things can happen) as opposed to the series of corridors and bland landscapes we have had previously. Loads of potential for it to be a really exciting place to visit.

I would like to continue to learn about the different ways the various peoples in the game interact and differentiate from each other in their customs. Loosely connected to this I don't want to see whole genders cut out of future games (female Dwarves).

Tevinter would be interesting I suppose, but I feel it treads a lot of ground we've already seen, both in DA and otherwise. Offhand I would prefer to see an Orlais, Nevarra, and Anderfells based game (any combination of those three). Particularly Orlais, I think the pomp and ridiculousness of the culture there would be fascinating to see intermingling with the more traditional fantasty world elements of the series.

[AlexanderCousland]

OH and did I forget the WARDENS...in origins your warden was able to take the throne if he/she was human. How does a Grey Warden King/Queen affect the World? If youre an Elf or Dwarven What does your status as the Hero of Fereldan do for your people? Id like to see differences in the game with respect as to who took the throne of fereldan. Alistair/F.Warden Anora/M.Warden Alistair/Anora, Alistair sole Monarch, Anora sole Monarch. and how does this adversley affect the new protaginists ability to unite Thedas against a common enemy. What are the darkspawn up to? The Wardens..and their bloody secrets. Id like to see the ability for the player to come rise through the ranks of a faction, become the leader of that faction, and possibly become emperor...IM JUST SAYIN. lol

[LolaLei]

Thinking about it some more, I'd also like to know why there appeared to be no efforts to stop the rape and torture of mages locked in the Gallows. I'm not sure if Meredith was aware of it but surely if Cullen is supposed to be a good Templar and "the voice of reason" then surely he would have at least tried to put a stop to it. I'd like to know if he was aware of such goings on, if he did indeed put a stop to it and if not, why not.

Kinda hoping that he kicked seven shades of **** out of all the rapey Templars, or at least got them fired.

Was wurde eigentlich aus Hawke, Bethany und deren Gefährten? Was ist der Lyrium-Gõtze und welche Macht steckt hinter ihm? Was ist mit Morrigan?

[Nalia_dArnise]

First of all, Antiva and Antivan Crows. And Morrogan Godchild. Maybe to play for him.

[etherealmiasma]

 Ahh I have a bunch of things I'd like to see.
1. The thaig from Act I in DA2. What was it and why was it like that? Why did it have idols and rock wraiths?
2. Sandal! I want to know everything about Sandal, where he came from, what's his story, why is he the way he is?
3. An elven uprising, maybe? Elves are so downtrodden, and if the Warden was an elf, then the Warden could rally their fellow elves.
3. What are the Grey Warden up to? I want to know!
4. I really really want to see my Warden and Hawke. Also Merrill. Even if only for a little bit, I want to see them so badly.
5. Obviously, the deal with Flemeth and Morrigan and the god-child, if he was born.
6. More about the old gods. They clearly exist, and I want to know more!

It would be super-cool if somehow the mage vs. templar debate and darkspawn somehow tied in together... so then Origins and DA2 would be more continuous.

I apologize in advance for my English.
I would like to see in the next game qunari life in their homeland. Yes, the wedding traditions also cause curiosity, especially when seen through the eyes of the protagonist. I like this non-standard direction in the series. In a series of much talked about Tevinter, elven buildings below ground mirrors (which has gone through it, Morrigan?), The cities of the elves. I understand that this is discussed in one way or another, but the question itself does not disappear from it. It would be interesting to learn about this part of history anymore, or beat her with his character.

[Ryu-Ken]

Really want to know more about the Child and Morrigan. Plus the Warden! The suspense is killing me
 

[PsychoBlonde]

What would I like to discover and learn?

How did everything get so screwed up?!

[fax___]

I really enjoyed the item descriptions in DA1 (although they weren't as well written as those in the Infinity Engine games) as they add background and flavour to the items, and a sense of depth, discovery and history behind each item that goes beyond an interesting name, some stats and graphics (especially for more 'otherworldy' items) and help reflect the greater (implicit) background and otherwise unseen stories of the DA world. I believe there is in fact a poll on the bioware forums lamenting the loss of this at social.bioware.com/1750997/polls/17085/ and some relevant comments.

What kinds of things would you like to discover and learn about the Dragon Age world?

Okay so after having thought about it since yesterday when you posted this I want to give my 2 cents. So in a world where the Dragon age team is developing dragon age 3 purely for me this is what I want to explore:

First of I need to get some sort of closure on why both Hawke and the Warden is missing. I’m not asking for some picket fence ending but if I am to die peacefully someday I need it resolved somehow. They did a similar thing to the hero in NWN2 and the expansion and it still haunts me to this day what happened to her. I just hate when game companies do this to the protagonist. It doesn’t have to be a happy ending even though I would of course love that since I think the Warden and Hawke have been through enough. You don’t even have to make it super clear and obvious just hint to me what happened alla “and some said she lived the rest of her days in mountain cabin with her lover” whatever just give me straw I can cling to.

Secondly I would loooove to explore the culture of whatever place we go next. If we go to Orlais for example I want to be able to play a high society lady navigating the game, going to masquerades and so forth.  What I loved about playing human noble in origins was that throughout the game I felt what it meant to be young noble lady in ferelden from dodging Howe’s attempt to arrange my marriage, to flirting with Teagan, to having to constantly be confronted with the fact that I was “Couslands youngest” plus the special option it gave me at the landsmeet. I would love Antivan weddings especially if I get to play an active part in it, participating in whatever customs this entails. I don’t know if I’m really putting this in the best words but in a sense I would like to explore more of the mundane day to day life of being the character with her background and in her setting and context.

Thirdly I want explore relationships to other characters more freely, deeper and as developing. Even though I preferred the origins way of interacting with your companions, I do feel that the potential in DA2 of having ten years is amazing and it was a main incentive for buying DA2. But I did feel that we were not able to develop the relationship as much as the time period potentially allowed. We had the same depth of origin relationships just extended over ten years. I mean think how far a real life relationship can go over 10 years – marriage, kids, etc. So being able to something a little beyond boy mets girl, boy likes girl would be interesting. This goes for the non romantic relationships too though – I loved having a whole family in DA2.
I’ll stop here its getting very long XD
And cudos for this initiative – I feel very heard and included  

PS. GO GO GO MORRIGAN GOD CHILD! (I WANT TO PLAY THE GOD CHILD)

1. Eluvian.
2. Morrigan, Flemeth and OGB.
3. The Hero of Ferelden and Grey Wardens.
4. Red Lyrium.
5. Sandal.
6. Finally, as Dumats temple still "works" is He still alive? If so, who was killed as the first Archdemon.

Regarding environments, I wouldn't mind seeing a festival/street celebration in DA3. Maybe during the day there's bards playing music in the street and market stalls etc and by night there's dancing, parades and drunk people celebrating as part of some Orlesian holiday tradition (including the masquerade ball for all the rich nobles.) I'd absolutely love to see how the city/towns ambience changes from day to night.

There's a thread about it here, that might be worth checking out with some good idea's on it:
