I liked DA2 but I hope there will be more than just these choices.

[AstraDrakkar]

I hope there's more to DA3 than just Templars and Mages. Since the story occurs during the Mage/Templar war, I fear Bioware will focus too heavily on it and will neglect other interesting material.

There were hints of that "puppet master behind the scenes" business

I hope not. That, like 'swooping', would be bad.

[Parmida]

I hope not! it got so very boring at the end of DA2.

Agreed, but I must admit was startled when Anders blew up the Chantry with that magic poop.

LOL, in that scene I was very fond of Anders and shouted repeatedly "GO ANDERS, GO!"
Yeah I know no need to tell me, I'm a bloodthirsty *****.

If possible, I'm for crushing both rebellious groups.

That sounds like the perfect job for an Inquisitor.

I would dispute that DA2 was strictly about mages or templars.

[Plaintiff]

DA2 had plenty of stuff going on, it was never "just" about the Mage-Templar conflict.

[Silfren]

DA2 WAS more than mages vs. templars. Sure, that was the primary focus, but we got a pretty strong dose of Qunari aggression, too. Not to mention hints from the Grey Wardens that Something Big is brewing, and the various hints about something going down in Orlais, which was heavily followed up on the bridge novel, Asunder.

I also think it's not just likely, but quite obvious that DA3 will be about more than the mage/templar war. We've received very strong hints from Bioware, just short of official declarations, that the game will be set at least partly in Orlais, and thanks to Asunder we know that a civil war is going down in that part of the world. And of course we've been getting hints of an impending Qunari invasion ever since Origins. Then of course there's the references from Alistair that some in Orlais want to take Ferelden back as an Orlesian province.

Assuming that Bioware has the time and resources to pull it off, I'm certain that we will have a story about the Orlesian civil war at LEAST in addition to the mage/templar conflict. But it wouldn't surprise me if the game we ultimately get is titled DA3: The Battle of Five Armies.

Do you mean DA3's survey?  Because in this case, the survey hinted that the main plot isn't about mages and templars.

I see what you're getting at. There's a big risk that the main story arc will circle around the mage rebellion considering the events of DA2 and that the title of the game is inquisition. Hopefully they will make it worth while to play as another class or faction than mage/templar.

Survey?  I missed this, apparently.  Is it something here, on the forums?

Also, I find it unlikely that the Mage/Templar War is going to be the only thing going on.  Singular focus on the friction between the Circle and its Temlplar handlers was NOT one of DA2's many problems.  At least until Act3, anyway.

[Versus Omnibus]

If DA3 does involve the Mage/Templar conflict I hope we get the option of opposing both.

[Doctoglethorpe]

Well theres also gonna be a big civil war going on in Orlais. And theres always Flemeth's shenanigans, which will have something to do with dragons. We'll probably end up at least visiting the Western Pass and Adamant Fortress, if not actually travel down into the Abyssal Reach, which means lots of darkspawn.

A supposedly leaked internal survey with brief description of the premise.  It called the player character an Inquisitor before the title was announced.  It mentioned something about an outpouring of fade spirits and a force manipulating events behind the scenes of the war.

Was DAO strictly about the darkspawn?

Never! <_<

Flemeth has been muttering somthing like that in DA1 and DA2. Speaking of which, why wasn't there any focus on her? She is afterall the presumed antagonist of this whole thing.

What about morgan for that matter? Where is she? What is she planning? What was the whole ponit of DA1!?

various hints about something going down in Orlais which was heavily followed up on the bridge novel, Asunder

Who reads the books? From what I gather, it still is mostly Mage/Templar dispute. We're all still waiting for this "big change".

I personally don't perceive the books to be cannon.

ACT 1 & 2 is mostly padding for ACT 3. It's almost as the writers thought that it was needed to be explained in detail why Hawke became champion of Kirkwall. The whole point of becoming champion is pointless, the title of "champion of Kirkwall" is discarded like a used condom once you've chosen a side. You could concise ACT 1 & 2 very easily and leave plenty of room for Post ACT 3.

Agreed. Though the Mage Templar conflict was a underlying theme for the entire game.

I am sure there will be plenty of stuff going on around the conflict to keep it from being to forced on us.

This.

Even DAII wasn't strictly about mages and templars.

But even if DAIII were completely Circle-centric, it would have to include some serious plot twists in that conflict in order to sustain an entire game that's just about that one issue. 

[Solmanian]

Actually, from all the press release, while the mage/templar war is the background to the game, your mission is to say which one is right. Your mission is investigate the outside force that instigated the actual war.

Seconded.  Perhaps with a giant sign that says "DON'T"
