@brushyourteeth:

Well, being duped, being duped…doesn’t that presuppose that the ‘duper’ knows what he is doing and is effective in implementing it? (Darn, my snarkiness-o-meter just went off the scale)

Having said that, I think they can coincidentally dupe us by doing something totally unexpected and pretty dumb. Sic transit gloria mundi...I’d rather not think about it…

(I much prefer to fantasize about Obsidian doing a New Vegas-esque Return to Morrowind semi-sequel to Skyrim, to be published late 2013 and hopefully stable and largely bug-free by mid-2014. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts…)

maybe DA3 is like this...

Intro : A hero with no background somehow get into trouble trouble, then saved by Flemeth

Act 1 : Mage Templar War

three years later

Act 2 : Qunari Strikes Back

3 years later

Act 3 : Orlais Attack

then a cliffhanger...

I take it you are deliberately framing this in the same manner as Dragon Age 2, to which I can only say...

If they did that, they could say goodbye to the Dragon Age franchise. It would flush the whole thing str8 down the toilet, do serious further damage to the Mass Effect franchise (cos the reputation of one DOES affect the other), and start the company down the EA-absorption and dismemberment path.

BW is in a precarious position right now, a fork in the road you might say. Dragon Age 3 is their chance to decide which way they want to go.
The path that leads them to further absorbtion into EA, the path of creating solid but somewhat short and increasingly generic games to "maximise profit", the path of Day One DLC and Episodic content.
Or the path that leads back to the Triple A place they held before, the path back to people insta-buying BW games without knowing a thing about them, and a place in the sun. Oh and ya know not being dismembered by EA.

If I am taking your post the right way, then you seem to think like me. Hoping that they do a great job and pull things back. but expecting them to Epically Fail and needing to wave a final goodbye to them.

Wait...

...What if... we - our character - doesn't solve ALL the problems? How can they? What if we chose a part of the world-wide conflicts to be in, and the rest is determined by ... well, I haven't thought that part out yet... but you get the idea. Unless we play the super hero type character (which would be boring and stale by this point), it would be unrealistic at this point to run across the world and solve EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM THAT HAS SPRUNG UP OVER THE SERIES... unless, maybe, Morrigan and Flemeth helped somehow...

One can only be dupe if one allows herself/himself to be duped. As Flemeth says to Merrill No path is darkest than when your eyes are shut.
