You can't reveal what console the games going to be on? :huh: We already know the games going to be on pc so I don't see the harm in letting us know the console.


To be fair, by the time DA3 is released (2 years?) the next-gen consoles will have already been introduced, so I can't imagine them being released on the current platforms


Release is slated for late next year.


Hmm. That would suggest to me then that they've already started on the coding, which means it may be  released on older consoles first, then ported over.

Really? I didn't know that.

Still, I suppose it all depends on whether the Microsoft and Sony can get the consoles released on time.

I watched a few vids about DA3 and there were some unanswered questions I had. First, will it be available on the xbox 360? There are rumors about next gen systems in the works by Sony and Microsoft, so naturally it is a concern to me. The next question is that if it is next gen, will we still be able to transfer over our saved game data from the x360 games? Also, if it is available on X360 AND the next gen Xbox, will we be able to transfer the data over to the next gen console?


That you have these questions is fine. We are not, however, going to be answering questions like this for quite some time-- not until we're ready to reveal information on what DA3 is. Right now we've just announced that DA3 officially exists and gave some bare-bones high level feature info, and that's all there's going to be until we're ready to show the game off.


Do you know when thats gonna be, and if so, can you tell us?  I promise I'll...dance a dance of something. A nice dance.

It will be when we can show what we're working on and explain in full. I don't know exactly when that will be, but it will not be anytime soon. If you're holding your breath, that's a bad idea.

Where is Stroud from? Is he the Warden-Commander of Ferelden after the Warden disappears? Is that how he knows Anders?

How would having magic help them to become noble? if anything i'd think it would hurt their chances a fair bit unless they were a Tevinter noble family. Unless you just misread my question as How did they cease to be nobility

Yeah I misread your question. My bad.

How they became nobility is a good question though

I don't really remember if this was said or not, but at what age does magic start appearing, or rather how old can someone be a mage without realizing it?

also, is there anything physically stopping a mage from learning Templar abilities?

Also consider how young some children are with magical tendencies, for example Connor from DAO.

Can we expect more a dynamic conversation system? By this I mean will we get more talking heads, or will the conversations be more organic?

Also will the wheel be as static, shallow, and predictable as DA2? I like the wheel, but I don't think its potential was even scratched in DA2 and only barely in ME. The Walking Dead game is a shining example of how much can be done with the mechanic, I think.

Will the end be the end? If I've a single most urgent gripe about the DA series, it's that there's not even an attempt at game +. After 40+ (or hopefully 50-70+) hours of gameplay and earning as much xp, loot, and items as I can get my grubby little mitts on, all I get to do with it is take out the final boss. Cool. The first time. But I want to get some mileage outta all that work. Gimme a tournament or a dungeon or Derp roads or blightlands with endless enemies to scrap with after climax. Or let me take all my hard earned (or deviouly stolen)shinies on a tour through the campaign.

The novels are canonical, and if you have not read Asunder and you like lore then I highly suggest you do read it.  The events in Asunder fill in what happened between the end of the Mage-Templar Battle of Kirkwall (9:37 Dragon) and Varric's interrogation (9:40 Dragon).  Asunder ends with the Circles of Magi and the Seeker and Templar Orders announcing their seperation from the Chantry.  It essentially sets the stage for what we're likely to expect in DAIII.

Also, some really interesting stuff happens in Asunder.  Shale makes an appearance.  Can't recommend it enough.  It's a good holdover until DAIII at least.

As for Dawn of the Seeker?  I don't know if I want to go as far to say that it is definitely canonical--since there are events that happen in DotS that I am scratching my head as to why they have never been mentioned elsewhere--but it does shed some light on Cassandra's background and well as explore the relations between the Seekers, the templars, and the Chantry.  To the best of my knowledge, DotS takes place between 9:34 and 9:37 Dragon, and the end of the movie hints that Cassandra may have been investigating Kirkwall for a while even before she was asked to find Hawke.

The current comic series, The Silent Grove and Those Who Speak and the future third arc (Until We Sleep I think it's being called?) is also canonical.  Or, I should say, it follows BioWare's own canon.  I don't know why people refuse to believe this.  So the comics may not follow choices you made in your own playthroughs--like Alistair becoming king--but it's still worth reading.  Then again, I am always hungry for more lore ahahahahah.

It takes place around the time when Perrin Threnhold held office. The events in Kirkwall referenced in the movie are referring to the issues that arose between Viscount Threnhold and the Templars.
