As the DA series moves forward, these guys seem less and less important in the grand scheme of things.  Granted, there's only so much you can do with "mindless" zombie-mutants as antagonists, but with DA:A and the Architect I thought there were more interesting developments ahead for these guys.

Are Darkspawn, and accordingly Grey Wardens, going to be left as background characters from here on out?

This franchise was built on the Grey Warden/Darkspawn mythos.

The thing is, I suspect that there'd be people that say that the franchise is built on the Mage-Templar War if it happened to be in the first game.

I like the idea of touching on other aspects of the setting, since so much time was put into developing it.

I cannot say Darkspawn and the Blight is "just a part of it", it is the whole part in DA:O, the rest are just a part of it.

This is a contradictory statement. There is a lot going on in DAO. The Blight serves as a reason for you to go to all these different settings to experience them. Blights are not regularly occurring events.

Confusing question. "Are darkspawn still relevant?"

Sure-- to the setting. Not to the storyline we're currently pursuing, although they could by all means become more important again. If someone wants to maintain that they were important to Dragon Age: Origins and thus should remain the primary focus for every title that follows... well, okay, but if that's what we wanted to do we would probably have named the game something else more darkspawn-oriented.

DA was never planned as a single story arc or a trilogy on a single subject-- that was Mass Effect. We've never, ever stated this about DA. In fact, we've said the opposite. If that's what you want anyway, then good on ya... but that's not what we're doing.

I wish darkspawn were the storyline. The mage vs templar story is looking more like a soap drama instead of "an adventure where a hero goes on a quest." Why can't we have that?

I am really not interested in this story even if it is told really well. I cannot sympathized for either side of this "conflict." Am I alone in this??

You don't even know what the story is, or how the conflict will play out, but you've already decided it's something you don't like and want something else instead?

Sure, we'll get right on that.

So, bye-bye DA...you lost one customer...

There's a lot of presumptions in your posts regarding what can and cannot be. Mostly what you're talking about is a backstory, which DA does have. If you truly believe that the series should be about one thing and one thing only, and we are not focusing on that enough (despite not truly knowing what DA3 will be about)... then fair enough! Hopefully you'll see something in DA3 to interest you when we reveal more of it, but if not then it's great you enjoyed the one game.

Real religion is also the type of thing that will lead to threads getting closed (since it'll undoubtedly get political and real world politics are actually not allowed on this forum. Plenty of other places on the web to discuss that).
