This thread is to discuss the story of Dawn of the Seeker in all spoilerage as you guys please. Feel free to post your thoughts on the movie, as well.

Frankly I thought the movie was terrible. Bad animation, bad voice acting and dialogue, and a badly scripted story that contributes nothing of value to the DA universe lore-wise and very little to Cassandra.

Tons of Ogres and Golems working together? Blood magic and control rods (nevermind where they actually got these creatures). Dragons in an organized attack? Mage elf girl who can control animals and blood magic. More about Cassandra's past? Her brother was killed by blood mages and she stops an attack on the Divine. Her character? Some guy teaches her to stop hating mages and she likes to kill things and threaten people.

Action scenes were too over-the-top and got to the degree of stupidity at points (like shattering a Golem's leg with one sword swipe, mages forgetting they can actaully use magic, running up what must be yards on a wall).

... Glad I only rented it on PSN for a few bucks.

I didn't mind it. I went into it expecting campyness and didn't come away disappointed.


*Spoiler*
I think my favourite part was when the Knight-Commander stopped by to trope it up and divulge his plan, but when asked who the co-conspirator was, he dismissed the request stating he didn't have the time to discuss such things. I like to imagine he went in with 5 minutes allotted for arrogant bragging to his captor and once that time was up, he knew he had to stick to his schedule.

I was howling when it happened :P

I thought it was some sort of prequel or something. In DA 2 she looks like she could be in her mid 30s or so. In the movie she looks like she could be in her mid 20s. But when the one guy mentioned the Kirkwall incident I was kind of taken by suprise.


This caught me too, though I remembered that the framed narrative has the interrogation taking place possibly some time after the actual events of Kirkwall.

Note: I wouldn't read too much into the perceived age based on the art style, because FUNimation had their own take on the art style based upon the genre and whatever other creative licenses they felt like using.

Though I did find it kind of neat seeing the DA stuff in game and recognizing it.
