True.  But is Dragon Age going to be the Age when EVERYTHING happens in Thedas?

One would hope so, since that's the age the games are set in.

This is the world they created, the series they chose to do.  If they're running into problems because of the world they created, well . . . . it's their problem.

Yes, but one does not just create a world and then never change it. The whole point of the narrative is that things change. If nothing changed in Middle Earth, then there'd be no Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Yes, they ran into a small problem. They also fixed it. Why is that bad?

I think that this conflict has growned too big. I mean, all the point of Dragon Age Origins was the Blight, right? Then Dragon Age 2 started with the Blight and ended with this conflict. I think that all Dragon Age 2 should have been made around this Mage/Templar madness and END it. At the end of Dragon Age 2, I felt like the entirely game was just a transition. I didn't feel like I really changed the world...
I also think that ''Dragon Age 3'' should have been on another topic, like the old matter between Orlais and Ferelden...

I think the point of the Dragon Age franchise is actually about covering the violent change throughout Thedas.

Originally the rumor of the Divine naming an entire age to support the Orlesians in a war with the Fereldens after a high dragon arose, but the dragon didn't go into Ferelden but into Orlais, and the Orlesians lost, so the codex entry on Thedas Calender says that the Dragon Age is believed to be a time of violent change.

Seems to be accurate.

It rather looks like that is actually going to BE part of the story, though.  Assuming Orlais isn't too busy with its own civil war.  Remember Alistair's line (assuming Alistair was king in your playthrough) about some Orlesians wanting their southern province back?  

Writers don't put lines like that in a story without reason.

Agreed.

But if it is important, it was poor form to put it only in some games.

But it is explicity stated in the codexes of all the games that Orlais is an expansionist Empire and they love thier political maneuverings and playing 'the game.'

It's not much of a stretch to think that Nobles who are still very much alive would want the lands they lost when the Fereldens drove them out.
