Demons i would say they hinted it throught out DA2 a lot that Thras make a comment about how it was the demons the templars should be fighting. Thats one that comes to mind right now

Interesting - I had assumed DA:I would be primarily about the Mage-Templar conflict. I do like the idea of "someone" or "something" creating chaos across Thedas and perhaps DA:I becomes the first of a series of games that undercovers and addresses the various conflicts the master evil doer is manipulating.

Having a primary storyline with a few hints at what is coming is the best way to do the game. Too many plot directions and you have a situation where there's a little bit of everything and a lot of nothing.

DA3: Inquisition will cover the bulk of and finish the story of the Mage-Templar war that was sparked in Kirkwall.

My guess is DA4 will be about the Qunari invading when Thedas is a mess.

My guess is it's mostly about the Chantry desperately trying to hold the pieces of Thedas together, in the form of an Inquisition, the Mage-Templar War being a big factor in it. But I think a demonic threat could also be thrown in there. And the darkspawn, ofcourse. Maybe something with the Old God Baby?

That would be great, having a bigger storyline surrounding the Qunari.

It might also be about making the perfect cheese blintz.

That - or a Council of Nations discussing how ugly the elven model is/why the term Kossith isn't appropriate to use/or why the new dark spawn look like they've taken a hit of Joker gas.

It will but don't forget about what Morrigan said at the end of Witch Hunt. Flemeth will be the MAIN antagonist in DA3, trust me. Also, she said something to Hawke after she was ressurcted that made me think this,Image IPB


Although I think you're right I hope she isn't. Seems WAY to easy. I like to think she has her own plans, but her plans have really simply been manipulated over centuries and there isn't a way to stop it from happening, but a way to stop it afterwards.

Yup, I would say so ¬¬ If I knew I was playing from DA:O to Mages v Templars to Holy War

I think I would of just stopped at DA:O. Something about fighting holy wars DOES NOT sit well with ME AT ALL.

If... that indeed is where the game going, but come on INQUISITOR >_< INQUISTION. pppaaaaaahhhhhh

Maybe they *will* have something different, but so far just looking at the title makes me cringe thinking its gunna be a holy war >:T

stupid anders.


Well the ingame Inquisition (historical organization) wasn't actually a part of the Chantry, plus if the surveys are anything to go by (plus the devs mentioning it) than we won't be fighting for the Chantry so idk. I don't think you have to worry about fighting a holy war.

The mage/templar thing is one of the weakest elements of Dragon Age so I hope it plays as small a part as possible. I'm still holding out for the plot of Dragon Age 3 to revolve around an invasion of vengeful, evil elves from beyond the veil.

In my head that's what Witch Hunt was setting up and I'm sticking to it until proven otherwise (I know it's not going to happen.)

IDK, Evil Elves from the veil is kind of reminiscent of the Wild Hunt in the Witcher series.

I think DA4 would most likely be about the elves rebelling to be treated just. I think that's a mjor issue as well. I like having one major issue to deal with, rather than a cluster of issues. Like in DAO, DA2 diverged from this.

There's a lot going on in the Warden side of Thedas. It's been foreshadowed a lot in DA2. So I hope we get to see more of that in DAI

I really hope its the focus and they don't throw in a lot of superfluous plot lines into the game.

They only need 2. 2 main foci

The templars vs mages and what caused it plus one other things.

Just like in DAO they had the darkspawn and the civil war.

I just hope that the 2nd focus is not Orlais civil war though, im sick of that after the politics of 2

I don't understand the hate for that plot. The first game was about saving the world from the big bad thing and his/her minions (easily the most recycled plot in fantasy in my opinion). This is (possibly) about solving a civil conflict (still recycled, bot not as common).

At their core, pretty much every RPG is quite simplistic in its main plot. It's how 'fleshed out' the plot is, and the quality of the side-quests and plots that make it a great game.

They'll join the Qun.  DA2 already demonstrated this several timeswhen the elven terrorist complained that city elves were leaving to be with the Qunari, when the Arishok would not hand over the two elven vidithari, and with Tallis in Mark of the Assasin.

So DA4 is still going to be all about the Qunari.  Write it down that I said it.  I'm that confident I'll be right.

I would like to see Utharmeil as reincarnated.. doubt it will happen but perhaps we'll get more insight on the Tevinter Mages that were cast out by the Chantry.

One of us is going to be unhappy. :lol:


I want Flemeth to be the one trying to save the world. Of course not for completely altruistic reasons but yeah. She's always been relatively nice to my protags.


And no, it's also going to be about giant ass tear in the Veil.

I would like a change of pace from Mage vs. Templars. We have gotten two huge, heaping doses of it in both games so far. And, unlike the Darkspawn, there are no hidden mysteries or secrets left to discover... it's the same old thing. Mages are dangerous. Templars are cruel. Blah blah blah.

I say make it part of the story, but don't make it THE story. There's only so much you can tell of it, after all. Two groups who disagree. Not a lot of plot to develop there, unless you have them kill each other in a big war.

I prefer Flemeth as . . . morally ambiguous, manipulating people and events for her own reasons. Ideally (for me, anyway), I'd like her to have some larger goal in mind that the PC (from Inquisition or beyond) can support or fight against that isn't as simple as "save or end the world."

Though, in a choice between "Flemeth is trying to end the world!" and "Flemeth is actually trying to save the world!" I agree with you! ^_^

It might be around Sandal's prophecy about the veil being removed.

Well - even if it is about Mage vs. Templar - I don't think it going to be about the fate of that war.

I cannot see how Bioware couldn't choose an outcome to the war - and, an outcome requires there to be no room for player choice (canon). So - I would hope that Bioware chooses the Mage/Templar conflict to be a backdrop.

Perhaps the Qunari are instigating the Mage/Templar war 1) to prove how dangerous mages are 2) to undermine the nations of Thedas.

Perhaps the Inquisition is to fight a sort of shadow war against Qunari instigators/infiltrators?

Rooting out followers of The Qun actually seems FAR more Inquisitorial than hunting down mages during a rebellion.

In fact - until we learn otherwise, I think I'm going to run with this idea as the actualy plot fo DA:I - because I think it sounds more interesting than just: DA 2 rehashed.

I am certain two things will be featured other than mages: the Qunari and Corypheus. Not together, obviously. But the Wardens were up to something secretive in DA2, and Corypheus is a big deal for them. The leaked survey also suggested something about a whopping great tear in the Fade. Corypheus is a mage. One who apparently tried to enter the Fade in the flesh the first time, to reach the Golden/Black city.

Meanwhile the Qunari just feel like a trap waiting to spring. The moment Thedas falls into fighting, they're going to step in and make their move. This game might lay more groundwork for their invasion, but it will come at some point I think.

And then there's Flemeth. Anything could happen with her, but I hope something will happen soon, rather than her showing up for fifteen minutes to share some riddles.

All I want from Flemeth is a chance to kill once and for all. I almost want to kill her as much as I want to kill Cullen... almost.

i think for the main part it will be, but i believe there will be more to it than just a mage/templar sort it out conflict.

dont know if it the lack of news or just reading these forums but tbh as time passes i become more disinterested anyhow lol maybe when they release some news it might perk my interest back up, well hopefully anyhow

Oh no I totally agree with you on the ambiguous part. It'd only feel like Flemeth if she "saved" the world on her terms. Like chucked it into chaos to better shape how she wanted it to be. In the same vein it would be the ****** if she's been manipulating stuff from behind the scenes from the start, including whatever is gonna be happening in DAI.

Man, I hope not. They really beat you over the head with it in DA2, I ended up wishing there was an option to wipe out both of them.
