I'll be responding to this stuff in groups as I catch up on the thread. Sorry if I miss anything, since I'm going page by page.
That's assuming that the leaked survey actually said anything that's accurate. It might be however something completely different.
Anybody found it confusing/suspicious, that in last Twitch stream, when discussing stuff about Descent they mention (around 29:00 min into last twitch recording - http://www.twitch.tv...ware/v/10895159 - if anybody's interested) "oh, we probably should be working on something veeeery story heavy", than they say that they've left a little teaser, and THEN Mike Laidlaw asks "why would there even by challenges on Multiplayer with darkspawn, like... who can say?"
Sooo... is there more darkspawn content coming that we don't know of?
Yeah true. But I tend to think that an involvement of Qunari is at least likely, and Spoils of the Qunari DLC may mean something (considering that Spoils of the Avvar certainly did, tied to Jaws of Hakkon).
Wasn't that them just teasing Darkspawn MP before Darkspawn MP launched? I don't think the 'story heavy' and 'darkspawn MP' are linked.
All signs point to another blight. How many dragons are left? Maybe they all get awakened at once. Mega blight
There will be at least one more Blight of some sort, and it probably won't be as classic (except for the Architect involvement and such) as DAO's. Whether this will be a DA4 or after it, we dunno.
Two dragons left, barring some other sort of change/reveal.
I seriously think this next and last DLC is going to majorly change the rules and we will see just how in 4.
Like, you can have another blight, but boring, right? So you have to change the rules of the game- change how magic works or something- bring back all the silly Elvish gods, whatever- that would make it totally different. How do you fight an archdemon with hardly a single grey warden left and a bunch of crazy elven lunatics just let out of jail?
Random thought, but maybe we can at least consider purifying an archdemon instead of slaughtering it.
Switched to computer. Auto-correct turned me into a meanie.
I mean that no, the blight would be DA4. I think that this one you do whatever- whatever end game stuff they have to wrap up Inquisition- but whatever you do -causes- the "change of rules".
Like, in Buffy how in the comic they did something and the result was magic no longer existed, then they have to deal with whatever came next without magic. That particular example wouldn't work in DA, but still. Would be cool to see the results from this next DLC be HUGE and a total game-changer for the rest of the series.
In DA it isn't that the magic is leaving, its that the magic is coming back
.
DAO Flemeth gives a few hints, DA2 she actively prepares, DAI she calls on the herald.... so yea, DA4 or DA5 would be the actual full gamechanging. It is also symbolic in several other ways: one is that DAI has the 'Breach', but a Breach is only the start of things like a flood, capsizing, whatever... 0_0
