If the character wasn\\ t meant to die, they should never have added the option to kill her in the first place. Now she is nothing more than an immortal Mary Sue.

If they had to always stick to their first intent when writing, we'd get some serious stream-of-conscioussness BS.


That's why you plan out stuff before hand when you write a trilogy, instead of trying to wing it.

Hopefully they've actually done that, so it won't end up being another ME3.

Dragon Age was never going to be a trilogy, you know. Its just a series of games set in the same universe.

Pretty much this. In fact I believe it was said that Leliana was the only thing they retconned for the series, everything else is fair game at the moment.


Wynne also attacks you, if you defile the urn.

If I remember correctly, she just gave me the evil eye & left my party, but then again I didn't bring her along during the mission.

Hopefully, the universe is a logical place ;)

I once heard that the little nug I gave her had curative powers in its tears. Not unicorn level, mind you, but good nonetheless.

If she is in the party, she will attack you, like Leliana. And she is also canon alive after Origins until Asunder.

i thought it was because she's Mike Laidlaw's faverite? CONSPIRACY~!! ....i guess, i dunno, it was a stupid idea letting you kill them anyway, retcon all the companion deaths you want that aren't story relevant (so wynne, zevran, leliana, shale, fenris, merril, aveline & alistair even though you never see him killed so the execution sentence can be more easily written away) story relevant deaths like Loghain & Anders make sense to follow

Book canon isn't the same as game Canon.  Just because she's in the book, doesn't mean she's alive in games where she's dead.

Asunder is the link between DA2 and 3, so it is canon for the overall story of the DA universe.
The same canon, as if Gaider would come to the forum and explain to you who is dead and who is alive.

 sorry if there is another topic like this.

Am i the only one who thinks that leliana is going to play a MASSIVE role in upcoming DA games? reason's you ask???? ok: she can't really die in DAO, she is working as the divine's right hand, and she seems to be searching for hawke and the warden:huh:

What is she up too???? is she the next andraste with that vision thing???? who knows... what do y'all think:lol:



Nope and  I  hope she she does  and she is a party member  ... best case  senerio   we are playing the  warden again and can conntinue the romance :)       or if  bioware has "killed" the warden and we are not ever getting him back...   they are broken up  and.....

"Dead" Wynne shows up in Awakening as well does she not?

Just recently played Awakening with a game which has a dead Wynne. She didn't show up.

She didn't "survive". Her death was retconned.

P.S. I do feel sorry for those who went out of their way and intentionally killed her off.

I might be wrong (I never killed her in my playthroughs) but doesn't she die in the room where the Ashes are held?

Regardless whether or not you think Andraste was the prophet of the Maker the fact is that those Ashes hold incredible power.

According to the cardinal laws of magic as long as someone's soul is still in their body they can be revived. Perhaps the Ashes had some effect?

If she shows up in DA3 I'll have a tough time putting my thoughts about her from 'Asunder' away.

You can also kill her 'for real' in the Tower, if you side with Cullen. I guess her Spirit kick-starts her body regardless, for Asunder.

Maybe the appearance of Leliana after DA:O isn't actually Leliana. <insert dramatic music here> Perhaps some malevolent force is merely masquerading as her. ;)


...what? It's just a theory!

Answer: Duct tape.

Secondary Answer: to annoy the people who had a playthrough where she not only died, but via beheading. If someone killed her, it was always beheading by some strange coincidence. Even if they were playing a staff wielding mage at the time, her head refused to stay attached to her shoulders.

DA2 showed us that Flemeth is a lich. 
DA2 showed us that Flemeth has more than one human form.
DA2 also showed us there can be more than one Flemeth.  (How?  Well, in a game where Flemeth isn't killed by the Warden, Hawke still resurrects Flemeth, meaning there are at least two Flemeths.  Oh ho.)
DA2 also showed us that "dead" Leliana's can be alive.

The conclusion is obvious: Leliana is one of the Flemeths. Specifically, she's Flemeth's way into the Chantry and is the one that sets off the attack at the start of DA3.  In DA2, Leliana doesn't know where the Warden is because she actually knows (because she's Flemeth) but doesn't let Hawke know that she knows.  Shale is Flemeth in a Golem's body.  The Idol is a shrunk-up version of Flemeth.  The summonable Mabari in DA2 day-one DLC was Flemeth.  That army of "Morrigans" in the DA2 trailer?  Yeah, just a bunch of Flemeths.  It turns out more people are Flemeth than not.

It's called "retcon".

Yep. People on this board really need to get a grip and understand that BioWare likes to retcon things.
