But doesn't "red lyrium", which no one has seen before, from a thaig below the Deep Roads that wasn't supposed to exist, unackknoedged by the dwarves, filled with strange, magical artifacts and idols instead of Paragons deserves a little more "story" that just a weapon for the Templars.
Even the First Warden is interested in the thaig, and is using the Grey Wardens to discourage exploration by others so they can explore it.
Seems like an awesome story that may get crushed under Mage/Templar
(because I really want to hear more!)
Well, sure, but that can all still be explored.
Andraste's Ashes and the Anvil of the Void were not driving forces behind DA:O's plot, but they still got enough screentime that I think I can confidently say that they were adequately explored.
And I suspect that the Mage/Templar war is going to be pushed into the background, and that the main focus of the plot will be something else entirely.
