Hmm i was wondering if the Hero for the next Dragon Age Sequel would be a seeker. And the Seekers would play a similiar role to the Grey Warden's in Origin. Seems kinda weird that they introduce this organisation in DAII but they play such little role.

And the plot would involve seeking for Hawke and Marric whereabouts.

There was a big thread about this a couple of months back .Seemed a lot of people objected to having to play a quasi religious character.

Definitely not interested in playing a Seeker. I can accept having one as a caompanion but to play one...I would definitely not buy

I have no problem starting in the Seekers as long as there's a chance to defect and chose a different path later in the game.

I'm not sure but I think there will be two to three origins for the next game. Seeker, Grey Warden and a third one, probably a mercenary or war refugee. Each being able to start with different races. Personally, I'd want to play my Hawke back.

The Seekers are about as much of a religious organization as the Circle of Mages. The Seekers of Truth signed an Accord with the Chantry and the Mages long ago to set up the Circles, apparently with the idea that the Chantry be the balancing point between the two other factions. The Seekers of Truth became the Templars, with the modern Seekers being the "internal affairs" department of the Templars (and occasionally recruiting non Templars).
After it became apparent that the Divine was trying to ameliorate the conditions in the Circles, the main organization separated from the Chantry to resume their private crusade. Some templars and seekers disagreed and stayed with the Chantry (or with the Circle in rare cases).
Anyone wanting to play something resembling the good guys in this conflict would be playing pro Chantry. The templars that separated are rogue paramilitary types. The mages are still led by people who think Anders was brilliant and murdering and framing people to create no win situations for the rest of their fellows, so they can't compromise, is a cool thing to do.

I am happy to play a Seeker. It would be nice if there was a choice to 'defy' the order though. A rogue seeker as it were.

We all know this probably won't happen, considering the concept of stubborness, but what would make the most sense would be to actually play as one of the people Leliana and Cassandra was looking for at the end of DA2. If the original Warden from DAO is dead then I suppose it is the Orlesian Warden-Commander Cassandra was referring to when saying ''.. just like the Warden'', if the Orlesian Warden-Commander doesn't exist, then it's obviously the original Warden from DAO she is referring to. And they were also looking for Hawke.
If I understood everything correctly, they're looking for these two because they are the ''only ones capable of stopping this conflict''.
The option of continuing the story from either Hawkes or the Wardens perspective in DA3 would be phenomenal, it would then also be MUCH easier to bake in the Morrigan, OGB & Flemeth conflict into the main storyline if that was done. But we all know BioWare probably won't do this and stick with the ''New protagonist'' thing, whatever purpose that serves in a story-driven RPG game, I'll never know..
Or, BioWare has come up with something great that makes more sense than anything I just wrote and we'll just have to wait and see for ourselves

I want to play as a Seeker, but with all the issues that many people on the forums seem to have with it, well it would hit Bioware's sales immensely. So from a sales perspective it is a bad idea.
As a fan, I can easily say that I like organizations like the Seekers and would love to play as a member of them (just like I wish the mobile FFVII title, Before Crisis, would come over here so I can play as a Turk). There's so many storyline possibilities, but if it doesn't work out, then there's no issues from me (unless I am forced to be a member of the Qun... While I respect the Qunari, I do not want to be part of that). It's just something that I would like to see and not something that would make or break my enjoyment of a future game. However a spin off within the DA universe where the MC is a Seeker would be more than appreciated (especially a SRPG or Stealth/Action game).

I dunno, if we have the warrior/rogue/mage classes again then we probably won't be playing as a Seeker because they don't allow mages into their ranks... Unless like someone else suggested, each class is from a different organisation like a Warrior Seeker, Rogue Warden, Mage...er, something-or-other?

Mage Rebel, Circle Loyalist?
edit:
Perhaps a new group within the Seekers, Chantry Loyalist Mages?

As a forced feature it wouldn't be good, but I'm so interested about the Seekers that I wouldn't mind being able to join their ranks somehow (either from a previously neutral character or through the character creator with the option to choose origins).

Something like 40% of the mages voted against separation from the Chantry even after Kirkwall and another incident were some senior Libertarians murdered another mage to trick the templars into attacking a gathering of senior mages. So, while the Circles agreed to be bound by the vote, I am sure there are plenty of mages like Wynne, who would stand with the Divine if they can.

I think we can play Seeker. Seeker may be representative of all races: humans, dwarves, Tal-Vashoth. I do not know whether this applies to the elves.
So, nobody will complain that the game just a human.
Another hero might be someone with Orlais. Maybe Lancer?

Now that is what it should be. Would love to play that and I would get to play both characters, The Warden, day one buy for me.

Yep, day one buy indeed. BioWare just needs to realise how much love there is for the older characters in the series, instead of insisting on ''new protagonist'' all the goddamn time.

I really don't want to play as a member of one of three factions (Templars, Mages an Chantry). I want to play a character that is not directly involved in the conflict.
SPOILER
Plus, if the game will be set in Orlais, the main plot could be around the Orlesian Civil War. In this case, there'll be no need to play as a member of the Chantry.

So you'll buy the game at day one if it'll be more or less the same of DA2, with the Warden as the PC?

I don't care much for gameplay mechanics, so yes. The most important thing in an RPG game is the story, everything else is second, or so it used to be.

I think seeker could be a specialization in DA3 but not background. the problem is being a seeker means you can not study magic.

I just hope whatever character I'm suppose to play, I don't get asked "Who will you side with?" because I know I'll just have to kill everybody anyway.

I think playing a Seeker could be amazing, and explain our ability to travel all over Thedas and cross borders without any trouble. I know a lot of players would have a problem with feeling forced to play pro-Chantry, though.

Agree. I would love it. The fact that they're like the secret agents of Thedas, who essentially work outside the law, would be very interesting. Given all the hate I see for being "pro-Chantry" I suppose it would be better to have the multi-origins suggested above, but I for one would certainly choose Seeker over something I've done before like Grey Warden.
