Will it?

Unless it's an open world, I don't expect griffin mounts (even though that would be pretty amazing), but dragons reappeared from seemingly nowhere.  While we aren't playing Wardens anymore (or so I'd assume), having griffins reappear, either as information on how to create them as a magical construct or as wild animals (assuming the Wardens' were domesticated) would be really neat--even if they appeared as an enemy.  It would give some basis for them to appear in future games as mounts if there's ever an open world, perhaps.

So hey, if you want to support griffins in DA3, post away!

And if you're a Bioware dev and itching to actually answer the question, that'd be great too--but at this point, I'm not expecting answers to pretty much anything, because nothing at all has been revealed yet, to my knowledge, beyond the game's title.

I think any type of mount would be cool. I mean we hear references of horses and griffins but haven't seen any. Any type of mount would help break up gameplay so it doesn't become too dull.

I will say with complete accuracy no. There will not be griffins in DA3.

Griffons O.o no i like them better as a legend, (cuz flying bird-lion mix :S)
But some horse's or transport horse's would be great.
I mean i can't really remember that Dragon Age(2): Origins was alive/living
we got just some random cat's/dog's and some bird's.

I want a living Dragon Age: 3
:-)

I think DA2 brought enough dead things back to life and it was AWFUL that they did so. Lets let dead things stay dead.

I think the griffins were magical constructs of some kind, actually.  There was mention in DA2 somewhere about creatures created/hybridized/etc. by magic, and unless griffins in Thedas don't look cobbled-together, I'd guess that's what they were--instead of something naturally occurring that the Wardens discovered how to tame.  If that's the case, then the knowledge is out there somewhere, or can be recreated by experiments (which given how dark Thedas is, would be pretty heinous, let's be honest).

And I personally really like griffins in general (since well before DAO came around).  I know I'm not the only one.  So while I get where your distaste is coming from, griffins aren't really any more outlandish than giant flying dragons (nothing that big could fly in real life) or shapeshifting women or werewolves.

I do want horses and halla as mounts as well, but flying mounts are always the most epic.  That's why there's so much excitement about the rumors of dragon mounts in the next Skyrim DLC.  Getting a griffin as a mount would probably require a lengthy quest sequence, assuming they were to appear as mounts at all.  Or it would be an extra acquired by DLC.

Having them in the game at all, even just as an enemy encounter in some obscure region of the map, would make my day.  Again, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but griffins have been talked about since the first game.  They are the emblem of the Wardens, a symbol of all that was lost.  If they reappeared, they could be a symbol of hope, a symbol of all that could be again.  And maybe not just for the Wardens.

Let's face it, we're probably not getting an open world (though I think Bioware could do this better than Bethesda in terms of writing).  So mounts for our characters are probably out of the question.  But enemies, or pets?  We can totally have pets and enemies.

Only if Wynne is foretelling the future in the beginning of the game, before the events of Asunder, sitting by a campfire with the Warden and Hawke. The Warden says, "Will this story have griffins in it?" And Hawke makes some lame pun. Then Wynne clairvoyantly tells them the story of "The Inquisition".
Then I would buy over 9000 copies of the Collector's Edition.

Dear Maker! NO!

They are creatures of legend in the Dragon Age, and they should stay that way.

I literally came into this thread to find a picture like this.  Color me satisfied.

Given that Mike Laidlaw said prior to Legacy's release -- when probed on the presence of Griffons -- the following:

At this point I can only promise statues

I take that to mean that Griffons exist in a wild state somewhere on an uncharted/unexplored island somewhere and that they are only extinct in the sense that, as far as Thedosians can explore, they haven't seen them anymore.

You mean like dragons and varterral were before they, you know, showed up?

They shouldn't really come back unless and until we get a Warden protagonist again. Because they're kind of a Warden thing.

We already have Wyverns, which are distantly related to Dragons. I'm satisfied with that (they were pretty cool in MotA), but would like Wyverns to have more of a presence in DA3. As long as they don't outshine the dragons, of course. Especially because of that theory that suggests that the Old Gods were Dragons with consciousness and the ability to speak.

Griffons would feel too much like World of WarCraft.
