Of course I'd like to see it go on and on, but I imagine Bioware has a plan to make just so many and then go on to something new. It's just that there were so many questions I had after finishing DA:O and DA2, that were not really explained in the games, that I'm hoping there will be a final DA game that brings answers and conclusions that will bring closure to all the games.

The Morrigan and god baby questions, what happened to them? Where did Hawk and the DA2 characters   go after the end of the game, and will we ever see any of these characters again in perhaps, DA4?

I'm hoping that there will be a game, whether it's DA3, or maybe even DA4, that will bring everything to a conclusion and that answers a  lot of questions that I have about The DA episodes,  and the characters we've come to know.

Heard somewhere that they want to go to every major country in Thedas, could be this one:

No. At least I hope not but it all depends on DAIII's financial success. Mark Darrah said there will be future games (notice the s), and I really hope that's the case since the world of Thedas has a lot of potential and there are so many stories that could still be told beyond the Mage-Templar stuff. We still have to explore a proper Qunari invasion, an elven uprising, the dwarven mysteries and the conclusion of the Flemeth-Morrigan story. If DAIII's successful, then we could be looking at DAIV even V or VI if we're very lucky.

I doubt they'll ever write a game to be the final Dragon Age. They'll want to leave open the possibility of more games. From a less cynical point of view, it makes sense that there'll always be a few unanswered questions, and a few plots which aren't totally tied up - but just a few, not advocating "lots of speculation from everyone" type endings.

I could see them writing up a game to definitively finish up an "arc", I guess. If they were looking to move the focus of the series up to tevinter or somewhere, or jump forward in time by a big chunk, then it would make sense to do a game which could give a strong sense of closure to the Fereldan region.

I wonder how they're planning to have console players import saves when the new consoles arrive. Especially on PS3 where several games don't even allow you to copy a save.

I hope not, DAO's ultimate sacrifice and Morrigan was incredibly memorable. The blank state warden reacted accordingly to what I'd imagined, especially Cousland. Hard to expect anything like that in future BioWare's games.

God baby may possibly be handwaved. I wish it isn't the case tho. But it probably be the best if I write the story myself.

No idea. Don't care wherever that be. They don't concern me anymore. I don't choose Hawke to romance anyone in my playthoughs. So they're all get seperated.

I hope not although Hawke may possibly return as non playable character in DA 3.

Yes, but I don't expect much. The only important decision I would like to carry over is Dark Ritual, Morrigan and the baby or my ultimate sacrifice wardens. None of that would transfer properly without retconing my ultimate sacrifice warden through Awakening.  ( which I refuse to do ) while the god baby is almost certain get handwaved.

Depends on how well it does. If it does worse than DA2 I can see them pulling the plug because it means that people don't care about the franchise anymore in general.

I'm pretty sure a Bioware employee said that there will be future DA games, and when asked about the s confirmed that it was meant to be plural.

I hope that when we hit the end of the Dragon Age as its recorded in Thedas that we'll start playing the next age. Of course this is unlikely and I'm just hooked on all the lore involved in DA, but I can dream right?

DA3 should finally flush away the old poops and let a new group of players embrace the games. With most of the haters gone, the future games will be much more popular.

They'd just put in a mechanism that'd allow you to select what decisions you made. In fact, it looks like they'll be doing that anyway to avoid all the buggy imports.

I hope so. Though it has to be better than what they did with the porting of ME2 on PS3.
About the OT, I don't think they'll do DA3 ad the last game of the IP. There are too many things (the mage-templar war, the conflict between Morrigan and Flemeth, the probably Qunari invasion, a spoiler plot) that couldn't be put in a single game.

I forgot about the Qunari Arishock saying "we shall return", and Bodan and Sandal going to Orlaise. There were lots of little hints in DA2 that might (or not) be alluding to future games. People like Cassandra and Lelianna and the Seekers being shown at the end of the game. Maybe I'm reading too much into these hints, but then why were they there?

Ideally, no DAIII won't be the last in the series. Realistically, it depends on how well DAIII does financially.

They're not planning on DAIII being the last one. They've said it wouldn't be and that there will be games after it. But if DAIII tanks horribly, it will probably be the last one.

ME2's Interactive Comic was severely lacking in options, and that was only for the choices made in one game. Either they severely downgrade the references of DA1-3 in DA4 or they have to find a way to make a transfer over consoles. Luckily, the (in)ability to copy a save for PS3 lies with the devs.

I think it's tied to the fate of BioWare and of the team. As long as Mark and Mike and David, Luke, and Shmaryl are employed by BioWare, there will be Dragon Age. What else are they going to do? Something entirely new is probably not an investment that EA is going to make.

Frankly, I'm not interested in Morrigan (she never had a child from my view). They could never mention her or the Warden again, and I'd be fine (actually the Warden died from what I can remember, so I don't expect them to really be mentioned).

I would battle an army of mutant shrimp to be able to play Hawke again and finish that story (I bet it turns out they could have done the expansion and it would have all worked out the same as far as whatever game they're doing now), but I trust they'll at least try to give closure for the story and characters there.

I hope there will never be a game that tries to answer everything or to conclude all the threads that have been woven the past few years. Some things aren't meant to be known. It's just that simple.

For this generation of consoles, Yes. Whether it goes on to the next XBox 680 or the PS4 will depend on its sales.

Thank you for that link, that was a very interesting discussion, and made me really look forward to DA3! :happy:
