This is why we can't have nice things.

Know Your Lore: The Darkspawn

http://www.dragonage.../darkspawn-lore

 

 

 

The surfacers claim that the first darkspawn fell from heaven. They spin tales of magic and sin. But the Children of the Stone know better. The darkspawn rose up out of the earth. For it was in the Deep Roads they first appeared. Creatures in our own likeness, armed and armored, but with no more intelligence than tezpadam, bestial and savage.

 

At first they were few, easily hunted and slain by our warriors. But in the recesses of the Deep Roads, they grew in numbers and in courage. Our distant thaigs came under attack, and now it was the army, not a few warriors, being sent to deal with the creatures. Victories still came easily, though, and we thought the threat would soon be over.

 

We were wrong.

 

—As told by Shaper Czibor

 

 

Those who sought to claim

Heaven by violence destroyed it. What was

Golden and pure turned black.

Those who had once been mage-lords,

The brightest of their age,

Were no longer men, but monsters.

 

—Threnodies 12:1

 

 

Sin was the midwife that ushered the darkspawn into this world. The magisters fell from the Golden City, and their fate encompassed all our world's. For they were not alone.

 

No one knows where the darkspawn came from. A dark mockery of men, in the darkest places they thrive, growing in numbers as a plague of locusts will. In raids, they will often take captives, dragging their victims alive into the Deep Roads, but most evidence suggests that these are eaten. Like spiders, it seems darkspawn prefer their food still breathing. Perhaps they are simply spawned by the darkness. Certainly, we know that evil has no trouble perpetuating itself.

 

The last Blight was in the Age of Towers, striking once again at the heart of Tevinter, spreading south into Orlais and east into the Free Marches. The plagues spread as far as Ferelden, but the withering and twisting of the land stopped well beyond our borders. Here, darkspawn have never been more than the stuff of legends. In the northern lands, however, particularly in Tevinter and the Anderfels, they say darkspawn haunt the hinterlands, preying on outlying farmers and isolated villages, a constant threat.

Blah.

Don’t expect an announcement or anything for a few weeks. We probably won’t get a new DLC until patch 9 drops.

[thats1evildude]

Huzzah! A (possible) darkspawn map! I've been pushing for that for a long time.

[Boost32]

Please don't talk about information revealed in the patch beta program here. Somebody is breaking their NDA and that shouldn't be encouraged.

I'm not breaking anything, I'm not in the beta and I don't know any person in the beta.

What I'm writing is only a deduction that I had.
First because players said they were testing some MP balances, second because its clear we are going to the Deep Roads and Darkspawn are on it and third because of the Varric challenge and the MP team saying they are going to announce something.

[Heimdall]

Bah to your negativity!

I'm holding onto hope!

...At least until the stream ends.

Ok, so a better way to say that would be "I think they're going to announce X, Y, Z", or "It seems likely that..."

 

Your post sounded exactly like you knew for sure what is going to be announced. It's impossible to tell that it's just your prediction.

I posted it a while ago, I'm just repeating my cynism and trying to warn others people to not get their hopes up.

I think it's MP dlc only too.

It's finally here! @davidgaider talks about @dragonage 2, a complete retrospective, on what worked and what didn't http://www.edge.ca/syn/60/68779/history-of-dragon-age-with-bioware-lead-writer-david-gaider-dragon-age-2 …

[nightscrawl]

I wouldn't be surprised if the miscellaneous story snippets (or whatever they are) somehow tied into a future SP DLC. It technically wouldn't be a requirement to play MP to access SP content, just as it's not required to read Asunder or The Masked Empire to understand elements in DAI, but it does enrich the SP play experience if you have read them.

 

That's not to say I wouldn't be supremely irritated if that were the case. I hope that whatever is available will be posted elsewhere as well if my assumption is correct.

 

We'll see...

BioWare ‏@bioware

Catch the #DAIMP team today at 10AM PST for #DragonsNDonuts and a look at what's coming.

 

I wish they wouldn't advertise "a look at what's coming" and then not actually show anything of what's coming.

 

So annoyed right now.

 

There's an hour of my life that I'll never get back.

[Avejajed]

So what was it?

[Heimdall]

Stream just ended, they revealed absolutely nothing new aside from a few comments about MP character balancing for the future.

They could have been lying, but they also said they didn't know when the next MP DLC would drop, which could lend credence to the possibility of all this Deep Roads stuff being SP related.

[OhDaniGirl28]

That's a shame

[Dark Phoenix XI]

I see BioWare and I have a different meaning to 'a look at what's coming'

Oh well 

[frankf43]

What the fucksake.

Exactly and I watch an hour long twitch of BB playing MP badly for them to tell us nothing.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer Weekend Event (July 24 – 27)

 http://www.dragonage...nd-event-jul-24

 

 

Chapter Two: The Lost Treasure of Nugerath (July 24 – 27)

By Varric Tethras

 

Captain Rylen stood before the assembled agents, "I've called you here for a mission of grave importance. The lost treasure of Nugerath is about to return to light. It is here, somewhere in the south." Rylen's face looked even more dour and weather-beaten than usual. "Countless spies lost their lives to bring us this warning. We have to make their sacrifice worthwhile. Get out there, all of you, and find the treasure before our enemy gets their hands on it."

 

From the back of the room, a masked man with a lute shouted, "Brilliant!" and struck a chord.

 

Agent Goal: Loot 30 chests in treasure rooms.

 

Inquisition Goal:

PC/PS4: Loot 80,000 dead nugs.

Xbox One: Loot 40,000 dead nugs.

PS3/X360: Loot 20,000 dead nugs.

 

Agent Completion: Agent awarded a Commendation Chest.

Inquisition Completion: All agents awarded a Victory Chest.

 

This weekend’s event begins at 10 am PST Friday, July 24, and ends at 5 am Monday, July 27.

 

Good luck!

What did you expect from a Multiplayer stream?

Oh I don't know... A look at what's coming maybe? 

[Suledin]

What did you expect from a Multiplayer stream?

Nothing. But they tease like this only to drag people to the boring multiplayer. That's what I realized today.

[Dark Phoenix XI]

What did you expect from a Multiplayer stream?

I have never watch one before so I assumed 'a look at what's coming' is what I would see. Silly me apparently.

Hmm. Maybe the reveal was pulled at the last minute...?

[Avejajed]

I think they didn't even talk about multiplayer newness.
