Anders is surely dead in some playthrough, so no. Morrigan, it depends if she really died in WH.
I'd guess Flemeth would be fine.

She didn't die per se, she was stabbed and fell into the Eluvian. We have to apply a bit of Shroedinger's witch thief here and assume her to be both alive and dead until we see her again.

But in answer to the OP's question, I think Morrigan would be perfect. I think when she was first announced they said she best summed up the world and the conflict within it or something. So yeah. Plus she was a way better voice than Anders for crying out loud.

Just had a thought about the opening scene of DA3.  It would depend of course on what the actual story is, but the opening narrative ought to be voiced by a former major character.

1) Anders.  Anders should reflect on what he did in DA2, what led to the subjugation of the mages, how he ended up where he is (Awakening-->Grey Wardens-->Justice), and his motivation for blowing up the Chantry.  He would recount the happenings since then leading up to the story at present.  This narration can work if he is dead or alive.  Either he recounts it as he sees it or he recounts as an omnipresent ghost, commenting about what he set in motion (the result being DA3).

This is interesting. Although, with Anders the friend/rival status would be problematic, as that really changed his whole outlook and attitude. A rival Anders would be more likely to show remorse, since near the end he was starting to think that there might have been another path, in addition to a greater dissonance between himself and Justice. A friend Anders would be fully confident in his actions since he had Hawke's moral support, which led to increased harmony in his merger with Justice.

I can see Leliana though, which would be interesting, and certainly a major clue that she plays some role in the events of the game. Actually, now that I say that, they might not use her since that would kind of ruin the surprise, which would also apply to Morrigan as well.

There's only one sensible choice for opening scene narrator: Sandal.

5. Mabari War Hound voices the opening.
Just think about it, it would be epic!

Yes please.

[Chaos Lord Malek]

Both Morrigan and Anders can be dead. So it will definitely won't be either of them. And Leliana can be also dead.

In my save they are all dead.

[Wulfram]

I doubt the events of the previous two games will be particularly relevant to DA3. Beyond "Mages and Templars are at war", anyway, and even there Asunder seems more significant.

[RedWulfi]

Morrigan

[Sejborg]

But Anders is dead.

I think it should be voiced by The Warden.

[Fast Jimmy]

It shouldn't be voiced by either, since they both could be dead from either DA2 or Witch Hunt.

Given that it is about the Mage/Templar War, it should be Ron Pearlman.

Seriously, people... different narrator for the opening scene depending on the save game you import.

For example:

-->Morrigan if romanced and alive
-->If not, Leliana if romanced
-->If not, Anders if alive and Hawke was pro-mage
-->If not, Varric if friendship with Hawke
-->If not, Flemeth

What a better way to begin DA3 seeing immediately at least one small consequence of the choices in the previous games?

Just make Robin Sachs do it again. I love his narrating.

[cindercatz]

I do want my Wardens voiced, but not narrating the game. It's too much of a 'I did this, then I did that, then this other shmoe did something else' situation. Too much first person.

I like this. I like adding the romance if-then, because that way even if a character is alive in all our imports, we're likely to get multiple narrators on different playthroughs. It should also apply a different narrator to whatever game state generator options someone would choose if starting a non-import playthrough. Awesome idea. Full support.

I'd prefer someone significant to the DAIII storyline.

Anders might be interesting, but I'm assuming for a lot of people, he's dead. I greatly enjoyed Cassandra's voice. Also, Flemeth.


I am curious, mostly because I can barely remember the lore, but what would make Morrigan a significant player in DAIII besides the possible godbaby line (which I didn't do)? I see a lot of people want her back and I’m wondering if it’s because she’s a fan favorite or if there’s another reason.

*Disclaimer* I am genuinely curious here, not trying to ruffle feathers, I promise!

Thanks.

Another thing: it would be interesting to have the opening monlogue slightly different depending on the character who is narrating it. Flemeth's would be cryptic, ominous. Varric's would be more ironic. Anders' would have a pro-mage bias. Leliana's would sound like a bard narrating a story. And so on...

[cindercatz]

Oh yeah, definitely. I'd expect them to line up with their particular viewpoints. Very cool.

Because whether you did the OGB storyline or not, she's important to the lore. She is basically the one force in opposition to whatever Flemeth is doing, and that storyline is really the through piece of the whole Dragon Age story so far. That's potentially much bigger than the mage war (which I'm hoping is just a part of DA3 anyway, not the meat of it). That's why she went through with OGB if you let her, not just because she wanted to raise a kid with an ancient soul, just 'cause. So if you didn't help her out because you didn't trust her in DA:O, even if you tried to kill her, that doesn't mean she won't keep trying.

I like this idea. And, of course, Ron Pearlman's voice would have its usual gravelly, somber quality.

But that's just the thing, I didn't necessarily think that what Flemeth was doing with her daughters was all that significant to anyone but Flemeth and her daughters. What I recall was that Morrigan suspected that Flemeth would take over her body, thus expanding her life, but if lore is to be believed, she's been doing that a long, long time. I also don't remember Morrigan actively going against Flemeth, but rather trying to protect herself. (Am I totally off-base here? It's been a long time.)

I readily admit that I can recall almost nothing from Witch Hunt and as I understand it, the comic "Those Who Speak" (I think that's what it's called) was adding more to the Flemeth lore, but does Morrigan play a role there?

*Oops. Getting a bit off topic. Sorry, OP!

No. My Warden shouldn't be streamlined by forcing a voice upon him/her.

That's my point. Just have the text. No need to have something read aloud, when it works better without.

Examples: Mass Effect, Star Wars, Blade Runner and so on.

I still have doubts about Leliana. Is it really what you think??? It is emotionally attached the warden even if you do not romance. Cassandra? What are his intentions? Nothing clear ...

[Little Princess Peach]

it should be either flameth,warden and hawke
Flameth could talk about the blight, warden can talk about the inbetween bits and hawke could summerise

[formaristarry]

I like this idea with either Anders, Morrigan or Flemeth. Or someone new, it all depends on the story.
