The Warden
So, The Warden. We all want to see the Hero of Ferelden again in a future Dragon Age game. And I think I can safely say most, if not all, of us don't want him/her to talk when we do. That would just ruin the character we build during our playthrough of the first game. Well, I have an idea for a cameo appearance of our beloved Warden, provided he/she survived endgame.
Dragon Age lore(and Riordan, for that matter) has taught us that every Warden eventually finds himself (I'm going with him from now on, makes things easier) in the Deep Roads. He longs for a good fight, seeing darkspawn fall at his feet and leaving a trail of bodies until he himself is slain. Well, I've pictured that for my own Warden.
I see him on the cliffs above a Dead Trench, bodies of hur- and genlocks all around him, his sword slashing through tons of others. He is, ofcourse, vastly outstrengthened, but holds his ground really well. His face tired, but also a sense of joy in his eyes (I picture this a bit like the face he gives when delivering the final blow to the Archdemon, but slightly... happier). With one slash he fells a rushing ogre, which falls to the ground. Covered from head to toe in litres of blood, the Warden feels the ground tremble as the ogre's weight makes a part of the cliff break of, sending both the darkspawn and the Warden into the trench.
So there you have it. This is how I picture my Warden's death, and I think this would make for a great cameo appearance in Dragon Age 3, or any later Dragon Age game for that matter. It's a heroic one, showing off the Hero's skills in combat while still having him speak not a single word. I picture this scene with a lot of gore: not DA2's comicy gore, but Origins gore. That is how I would like my Warden to appear before my other hero, who could be seeing all this from a distance.
I know this can be done properly. Just DON'T MAKE HIM TALK. Not even a single word. NONE.
A nice suggestion, I think, by one Calob:

Bioware should should make it where the DA3 takes the Warden's apperance and Hawke's apperance from your save files and import it into the game. They should even let us edit them to make them look better on the new engine.
This seems like a great idea: Bioware could import the Warden, which comes ofcourse from a different engine. I'm sure there's some coding to keep the model: when that's done, ofcourse he/she will look different from in the first game. Give the players a little CC to make them look even better
That was all I have to share for you guys. Now, back to gaming.
EDIT
I have read all your arguments and want to make clear that this is just an idea, brainstorming if you will, nothing more. It just seemed a neutral one, for a lack of better words, considering the Grey Warden's most common fate. in general. Maybe my idea is too personalized, I know. Even so, it's the most likely Bioware will only reference the Warden in future games. This is just my idea about a cameo, and I'd like to hear yours. I'm interested in the certain topic, to see what the forum-frequenters have to say.
Hawke
So, what about Hawke? I think a cameo of the Champion is all the more likely, considering he has a voice, can only be a human (humans, I hope, will stay the same in Dragon Age 3. Don't twist their ears, Bioware), and the fact that Dragon Age 2 was all about the Seeker, which I suspect will be a party member in the third game, trying to find this Hawke. Of course, this would be very difficult, considering Hawke's personality depended on the player. But, I always felt distant from him: like he wasn't ME. I think you know what I mean. What do you think about this?

Retour en haut
Attempting to prevent the progression of the Taint qualifies under that, I think. (Though Avernus has only managed not to become a ghoul so far, of course. It could well still happen in the future, just greatly postponed. That's something we don't know about.)
