It sounds good in theory but when you get down to details it not such a good idea.  Is it?

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

It's not. Skip. You should always, always, always skip. Especially if it's to the loo.

To be implimented into the game, or just in general?

[cJohnOne]

A new Exalted March I assume in the game.

[LolaLei]

Why do you think it would be a bad idea?

(I've not looked into the whole Exalted March thing in great detail so you're gonna have to educate me on this one lol.)

[cJohnOne]

I can't really articulate why it's a bad idea. I just mostly pose the question and let everyone else weigh in. If you think It's a good idea I'd like to hear about that too.

An Exalted March is a great idea, there isn't anything quite as good as a holy war for the world.

I'm assuming you're referring to the scrapped expansion?

If so, considering how shaky details are on the expansion -- not much is known, IIRC -- then I can't say. I can speculate a few things as to why it was called what it was called, but I can't definitively say anything about it.

Like: Did it have to do with Sebastian's declaration of war on Kirkwall? Or the Divine's possible Exalted March hinted at in Faith (the more likely one, I suspect)?

Really, I can say that if it was the Divine marching on Kirkwall, I probably would've given up on DA. Especially in light of the Divine's mindset being pro-mage.

Maybe it featured a young hero challenging notable NPCs from around Thedas to a dance-off.

It could lead to a ME/DA cross over.

I didn't get the Marching and dancing connection. I just thought you were strange postings.

Fun fact: the planet the Normandy crashed on was actually Thedas. The jungles of Seheron, to be precise.

Two minutes after EDI and Joker emerge from the cockpit, Sten and a band of qunari attack.

I thought it said somewhere in these threads that the exalted march was scrapped as an expansion, but part of that would be implemented in da3 if it where to be made. Or something to that degree. Might be remembering it wrong.

That's what I heard also.Sounds good if BW can pull it off.

Why assume it was Divine Justinia?  Could be the Black Divine in the Tevinter Imperium, after all.  Or, heck, maybe the idea was to foil an assassination plot against Justinia in the hopes of starting an Exalted March.  There's a lot more that could be going on here aside from "boom, Jihad".

[MichaelStuart]

I rather not get involved in a war unless I can fight against both sides.

Why in the world would the Black Divine start a march when A) The Kirkwall situation was likely to result in the freedom of their mages Leliana would know nothing about the Black Divine

Why are they necessarily marching on Kirkwall?  Besides, the Imperium doesn't want real freedom and equality for mages any more than anyone else, because that'd ultimately put the Magisters on the same level with non-mage citizens.  They differ slightly on who holds the reins, is all.

I think bioware will be able to pull it off ihatebadgames, I'm hoping the game starts similar to dragon age origins, with an origin beginning of our hero and the hero is recruited or ends of smack in the middle of a pivotal point in the exalted march battle.

[cJohnOne]

hmm, Isn't an Exalted March and all out war? Should be interesting if it occurs.

[ev76]

CJhonOne, Yes I believe it is. I meant a battle within the all out war. Hoping they bring the origin story aspect into the character as well since apparently we are getting different protagonist per game.

[Pzykozis]

I thought it was less of an all out war (since those pesky rules of war get in the way of killing peasants) and more scorched earth (which lets you kill them dastardly peasants).

I don't think the Black Divine performs Exalted Marches, nor do I think they'd really care about it.

These are two vastly different mindsets that are being employed. The White Divine is pro-mage, pro-reform, and pro-equality.

The Black Divine is all about Mage freedom in the hopes of restoring the Imperium. At least, inside the Imperium they are. Whether they want to do that outside is unknown, though Fenris intimates that the Resolutionists are connected to the Magisters.

But if they were to march on Kirkwall, that'd be bad for them. The rest of Thedas would return fire, so to speak, because the Imperium would be declaring war on White Chantry Thedas.

They'd be crushed.

It's not in their best interests, especially when they're already fighting the Qunari.

Never mind that Leliana is an agent of the White Divine and everything she says is in regards to Justinia's thoughts on the matter -- even saying "Divine Justinia takes the situation very seriously".

So no, it wouldn't be the Black Divine.

Being in favour of a slight increase in mage rights doesn't equate to approving of open rebellion. I certainly wouldn't go so far as to call her "pro-mage".

Regardless, she's shown to have almost no actual power. The Templar and Seekers completely ignore her and she doesn't do anything to enforce her authority. They could easily call an Exalted March in her name wthout any actual input from her.
