Hi, I'd like to know which parts of Dragon Age: Origins you liked the most, and which of those you would like to see in Dragon Age 3 and future games of Dragon Age.

PLEASE NO SPOILERS ABOUT DRAGON AGE 2 (I haven't played it yet) I mean about the story, but about gameplay it's ok, thank you. :)

Well, I'll begin:
I liked so much the interaction with the characters in Dragon Age Origins!
I would like to see more emotional moments, more interaction with deep characters.



*SPOILER*
Like in the Last Battle in Denerim, when all your companions tell you what they think about you, just moments before you cross the gates to go and through Denerim to reach the Fort Drakon, and the soldiers hail you, with the epic background music.  It was awesome!

Also I  liked when Leliana says (if romanced):  "You are my Grey Warden and our savior, win this war for us my love and... come home"

It was also more emotive if you didn't do the Dark Ritual and you knew that you're going to die.

*END OF SPOILER*



Also I'd like to see the interaction with the companions improved, Bioware did a great job, but it would be nice to see an improved system, so the experience can feel more real. :wizard:

Example: I  played with a male and romanced both Leliana and  Morrigan, if you end the relationship with one of them you still can be friends with the other, but the dialogues of friendship are the same as if you've never romanced the woman.

In real life that doesn't happen, it's not the same if you were lovers and now are friends.
I would like to see a balance in that and a change in the dialogues that reflects the different situations, e.g.

A. You never romanced the girl, just friends.
B. You romanced the girl, now just friends (ended in good terms).
C. You romanced the girl, now just companions (didn't end well...)
D. You romanced both girls, now you're just with one, but the situation is a bit tense now as the other girl still loves you.
E. Heck, you romanced both and ended with both! ;)
Etc.


What do you think?

Having total control over your interpersonal relationships with your companions.
Having to make choices that actually had a long term impact on the story which affects the outcome.

Wait, I'm not the only one on this forum who's never played DA2?

You know that thing where the PC in DA:O can take the throne in the Landsmeet arc? I want that, only the PC is actually taking control rather than being a consort. I'm not saying I'd do it every playthrough, but it would be a nice option to have.

Also, the character generation where you actually get to choose your origin would be nice, as opposed to getting one origin. Part of the fun of DA:O was that every playthrough could be just slightly different in ways other than the character's face and class. I get the feeling DA2 isn't like that.

Yes, it was great! although it was only possible if you played with a Human Noble, but I  think it was better to marry Alistair as a female Warden, because really, who would want to marry that $%#! Anora?
I  liked how a mage Warden can insinuate himself to Anora as an option to marry, Anora admits that the Warden is a suitable candidate, but because the Warden is a mage she tells you that it isn't possible :(

But I  personally prefer play a mage, have the option of becoming king or control the primal forces of nature? I'd choose magic over any nobility title any day! :wizard: ^_^

Although in the epilogue independently of your Warden's Origin, if you become Chancellor, the rumors say that the Warden is the true power behind the throne, so a Mage Warden can still rule Ferelden and everyone happy! ;)

I would. I really like her. =(
I don't really like playing male characters though, and human nobles even less (Posted Image) so it probably won't happen.

Mages aren't legally allowed to hold titles, so she's telling the truth when she says it isn't possible. =(

Why is everybody always taking offense to that word? I do not think it means what you think it means... Posted Image

I personally just want race options back, and for elves to be depicted more or less the way they are in Origins.

(I'm sorry if this is a spoiler for you, but I think the ads for the game insinuate the main character is very human.)

Yes, I know about that, she's telling the truth, but I still think that it's nice to see that even Anora admits how awesome the Warden is. B)


EDIT:
Yes, Anora is beautiful, but I don't like her too much because *SPOILER* she can betray you in the castle of the Arl of Denerim and in the Landsmeet too!

The first time when my Warden went to rescue her and she betrayed him, I thought:  "What?!, that $%#!", later in the Landsmeet I wasn't surprised that she betrayed me again, but it still pissed me off. :pinched:<_<

I know she's beautiful, but I also like her for her personality, if you can believe it. (She's so cool, intelligent and pragmatic. Posted Image)

I already know dearie, and I still don't have too much of a problem with it because she only "betrays" you (if that's what you want to call it) if you do something to endanger or upset her first.

She only "betrays you" in the castle if you give her away to Ser Cauldrien. Considering the very reason you come to rescue her is because your Warden is told that Loghain and Howe both had her locked up and intended to kill her, it's kind of a two-faced move for you to turn around and give her away to her father's men after just a few steps out the door (even though she's wearing a disguise and tells you flat out that she doesn't want to get caught or go with her father's men). So, yeah, I don't think the Warden is an innocent lamb in this scenario.

Anora only "betrays you" at the Landsmeet if you refuse to support her bid for the throne, and/or insist that her father must be killed. For the throne? Anora offers you a very clear alliance: "I'll support you against my father if you support my bid for the throne." If you refuse to support her bid for the throne, then you refuse to enter an alliance with her, so she's not obligated to support you in the Landsmeet. She can't "betray" someone who refused to work with her in the first place. I don't feel sorry for the Warden in this scenario, even if it's mine.

Her father? Yeah, if you support her bid but she still turns on you to save her father, it's still a betrayal, but... to be honest, this is also something that I think is a little understandable for Anora. It's still made very clear early on that Anora loves her father and wants to spare him if she can. The smart Warden would either avoid the topic in conversation so as not to ****** her off, or be polite and sensitive about it if you do bring it up. Only if you choose to bring her father up in conversation, and only if you choose to be a jerk about it ("NO! Your father HAS to be executed!") does she choose to turn on you in the Landsmeet. Still a **** move for her, but not so great of the Warden either.

I think the Warden has to press Anora's buttons for her to press back, so I don't feel overly angered about it. I was always polite and sensitive to Anora's hopes, desires, and ambitions, so I never had a problem with her in the game (unless I was role-playing someone that did).

Honestly, I want to see the Darkspawn return. Perhaps not as the main threat, but something that does their conclusion justice - I feel Awakening had the whole Darkspawn threat end on a whimper rather than a bang. And I'd love to know more about the Old Gods as well and what exactly they are.
I'd also love it if some of the companions returned. Not all of them have to come back in a major capacity as party characters, but it would be nice to see things like Alistair reigning as king and what kind of ruler he s (rather than just reading about it).
Of course, Morrigan's child is a must if anything from Origins has to return.

Everything. Take everything from Dragon Age 2 and burn it with fire. Oh wait, almost everyone who made Origins great no longer work at Bioware...
