A sword letter opener would be cool

[DannieCraft]

A most treasured physical item... a piece of Dragon Age history...
This is a tough one for me. I'd treasure different things for different reasons, so I had to list them:

Full Size Artbook. From early sketches, to fully developed concepts, world maps and final in game art. Showing the progress from Dragon Age: Origins to the latest game, as well as unused concepts. This is a peace of history I personally appreciate. The cover may resemble an in game book, much like the collector's edition of the "complete official guide" to DA2 resembeled Cassandra's book. In that sense, it is a historical piece from two point of views, production and lore-wise. 

Secondly I'd vouch for a Replica of "Warden's Oath" Amulet (or similar, perhaps a signet ring or a piece of hewn lyrium). It is small and easily fit to be a collector's item. It can either be worn, or cased and displayed. Scaled down replicas are not encouraged, unless they are displayed on:

Third, a collector's figure would be nice. Maybe of Duncan or some other legendary character.

Some ideas:

- Dog as a plush toy ^^
- grey warden pendant as jewellery (manufactured well enough so you can actually wear it)
- an additional character with new storyline
- high quality poster of all main characters
- a book/DVD that features "DA behind the scenes", like a making of. Interviews with character voices, writers, developers...
- cup for my office desk ^^
- anything you can really use (not only for displaying dust), like key rings, bottle opener, USB stick, studs ^^, belt buckle, pocket knife ^^...

Anyway, the extra content really should be unique and creative. NOT exciting in MY eyes (no offense meant!):
- art books (I have to many of them and you only look at them once)
- big game boxes (same here, shelf is full)
- maps
- miniatures of things like swords, shields...
- in-game items (blood dragon armor in DAII - seriously??????)
- prints of the codex - I did not read it in the game and I won't in real life ^^
- letter opener in form of a sword

Some people already said it: price is important. No matter what's in it, if the price is too high, I won't buy the CE.

[thats1evildude]

A piece of artwork depicting the main cast of the game how they would look if they were ghasts or darkspawn. (For example, the Oghren genlock has a battleaxe and a big red beard.)

[DarthChicken]

As exhaustive an art book as we could get. For some reason did an artist draw out four pages of different types of barrels we may see in game? Include em'! I love seeing the beginnings of a character design and then showing where it ended. I also LOVE statues, but at that point you are going to most likely lower the people who are willing and able to buy the CE. High quality statues can really be hit-or-miss, but if done right are definitely a buy for me. Hmm, now that I mention it my shelf could use a good blood dragon perching on it. 
Other Ideas:
You can never go wrong with a nice cloth map
posters are nice (signed )
Actual useable items are always nice. (Clothing, key rings, jewelry

One thing that can easily put me off to a CE are in-game items, if it's done when the game comes out, everyone should have a chance to get it not just the people who can afford to drop ridiculous amounts of money. I know I've had the experience where, money was so tight I could only get one or two games a year and it's more than a little disheartening to see that I won't get to go to X location or use Y weapon because I was too poor.

A replica of a staff or something like that

[Ibn_Shisha]

Serious: I nerd-gasm over maps. The CE-ier, the better (material, detail, etc.). If we're going mega-splurge, you could translate that into a full Thedas atlas. If you need help with that, PM me.

JK: A real live Mabari!

Deadly Serious: Whatever it is, it had better be of equivalent quality across all platforms - we PS3ers get tired of being shafted. (Anyone compared the SE Skyrim map for PC/XB with the one for PS3?)

[KingRoxas]

Q:If you wanted to own a piece of Dragon Age history in a collector’s edition of a future hypothetical title, what item (or kind of item) would you most treasure?

Any of the following would be a nice addition:

Soundtrack.

Art book. I would prefer something like Skyrim’s art book in terms of the size of the book.

Game guide.

The standard exclusive in-game armor/weapon or some small/cosmetic in-game items. i would prefer that no "premium", like From Ashes, day one dlc is included from the start/or released at launch, maybe a code to get some premium content for free later instead.

A comic related to the game.

Lambert's letter to the Divine annulling the Nevarran accord.

Some statue of sort,  maybe a lion with a Orlesian quote at the pedestal.

Thank You

Don't make me dig up the thread where a designer pre-DA2 accused me of "wanting a pocke****ch" in my CE. (I'd made a point about day/night cycle.)

But. A pocke****ch. Please.

Edit: Oh yeah! I remember that being censored out at the time, too. HAHAHA. Awesome. (Or, a map. If it's less offensive.)

An art book would be really nice, exhaustive as possible; I love seeing how the concept of the characters evolve from concept to development. It adds a lot of context and gives a glimpse into how the artists imagined the character. Of course it wouldn't be too enlightening without captions, so a bit of explanations would be better than a straight up picture book.

I'd like to say what I'd not like in the Collector's Edition: Promotional Items. If DAIII is anything like DA:O or DAII, then I'll probably end up playing it around twenty times, and one of my favorite parts of the game is in the beginning when you're attempting to scrounge together an acceptable armory, and when you already have one waiting for you after the prologue that's better than anything you could otherwise get, it kind of ruins it for me.

If your going to do a collectors edition you should do it in style. Picture this, the packaging should be a scale model of a wooden chest from the game with the classic bloodstain dragon painted on the lid, inside should be a few themed goodies from the game like: a pendent of the gray warden sigil, replicas of potion vials, a map of Thedas, a pen styled like a quil, some dlc codes made to look like a mage's notes, and finally the collectors edition game case should be made to look like a tome/book. i think something like this would be awesome because it would be like opening the travel chest of a character from the game

I really like this idea! Or something along the lines of this.  I remember Assassins Creed: brotherhood had a collectors edition with a chest. Here's a link of what I mean: http://101arena.file...dex-edition.jpg

I think a chest would be expensive but if was of good quality I'd snatch it up. 
Things I'd like to see in the chest would be (in order of importance imo):

• dlc (I'm a sucker for extra armours, weapons, extra characters etc)
• A cloth map of Thedas
• Gray Warden pendant (or a similar replica)
  
• A tome/book containing some stories about thedas. I'd love to read more dragon age lore.

While I do love to seeing the creative process via artwork and such I always find this stuff eventually on the net via your game websites or wikis.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,
-boodrl

Something like these ideas would be brilliant. Statues are all well and good. But as someone else said they eventually just start collecting dust. 
I loved the cloth map from the CE of Origins. So maybe a full Thedas cloth map would be great. And Id love to see a book/tome with either stories in Thedas as boodrl said or a full blown codex tome. 
The Grey Warden pendant is another great thought. Or something similar. Maybe the ring Morrigan gives you if you romance her in Origins.
The soundtrack goes without saying. I love the music from DA.
And finally as Azorith said a wooden chest or box to keep all this in. 
Something done like this would be my dream DA CE.

Art book like most have said. Maybe CD with soundtracks. Cosmetic DLC. Map. Poster of all main characters (In one game or series). A non-flemeth dragon statue so that it's unique or a good plush. Butterfly sword replica

[Fidelis_Custodi]

I'd lean towards a book of concept art, to see the development of characters and to get a feel for what the designers were going for with various figures.

A quality print/poster of some sort would be great, as well. There is a tragic lack of anything Dragon Age that I can use as a wall-hanging.

A deck of cards would be pretty awesome, we could get unique illustration for the card faces, the card back could match the branding of the game and it would be something people would probably enjoy showing off to their friends (aka table top conversation "oh what's this from" "oh this awesome game dragon age 3 you should check it out"). You might even be able to have a card game designed by team bioware (whether it uses the standard deck or a unique deck).

i agree! this would be great too!

Give it to someone.

Concept art and Soundtracks are my favourite items, and it's those things that mainly gets me to buy CEs.

I'm not much for plastic statues/stuff, they mostly collect dust in some box.

[Megistus]

Soundtrack / OST and maybe an a small item of a kind, like a pendant or ring related to the DA-Saga.

[Sanctuary74]

A full sized art book would be lovely.
An actual CD of the soundtrack.
A Ser-Pounce-a-Lot plushie! (Or Sandal)
A replicated pendant for a necklace of some sort. Like the Grey Warden Pendant or a Templar Sword pendant. Thank you!

[ThePhantomArtist]

Some thoughts:

• Definitely an art book, but a comprehensive one, not like the normal, flimsy, 20-40 page pamphlets we normally get, something akin to the Mass Effect universe one Dark Horse put out earlier this year, but BIGGER.
• A high end action figure too, I just got the Deus Ex CE the other day and the figure that comes bundled with that is awesome. Morrigan in that kind of style please. Failing that, a statue/ bust could be cool.
• Exclusive (and by this I don't mean available to everyone else in a couple of months via DLC) content; something to really incentivise me to pay out more for the CE.
• Free access to later DLC (this might be tricky to impliment however, but if linked to the disc, would conceivably reduse resale...)

TBH, maps/ posters don't really do much for me, but soundtracks are always nice.

[AndyKote]

I want figurine Dragon!

[inarvan]

I like the idea of a Grey Warden Joining amulet...or goblet...

[Atakuma]

A statue, definitely a statue. Just not of the "iconic" protagonist.
