reading i do not meet the requirements to open a new topic in that forum
so i just write it here and a mod may move it to the right position
well ill start with a thanks to david gaider (maybe he reads this) for a really great storyline, starting in "the stolen throne" und continuing it in "origins" ... its actually a really sad but very fantastic and fascinating story many thanks and i cant wait for "the calling" book (since i live in germany it will take till may to read it sadly)
so i just completed origins atleast 3 times now with all possible choices and endings and stuff
and i wanted to give some suggestions and impressions of mine
the story in the game is great no matter what anyone says but i think there are some very tiny little things which would have added great in the game
i have 3 examples for that:
first to start,
the dalish elven part, since you gave leliana an extra song for it which makes this part the most saddest i think it would have been very great to add a very little scene, maybe 5 to 10 seconds, in which at the ending of the elven quest (and in case you saved the elves) you see the dalish folk in a funeral procession
like : you see the brecilian woods in a like 2D view and the camera stands on the ground and a little far away you see the dalish wandering slowly and in a row between the trees from the left to the right side of the screen carring there fallen comrades those elves that died from the curse and going to "give them back to the nature" (probably like a japanese funeral tradition with a red flag in front) while part of the dragon age theme (the same which plays when the dalish origin takes the goodbye from the clan) plays
like i said a scene of 5 to 10 seconds would have added great and show the player how sad that war and the story actually is and that its not that funny to loose dear friends and family
another idea was:
in the tower of magi when you choose to slay the mages (at the end of the quest when you talk to commander gregoir you have 3 options the first and 3. saves the mages while the second one is like "and you better wont let any of the bloodmages get away alive" which leads the templars slay the mages)
well after you made that choice another small 5 to 10 second scene in which you see the templers kill the mages in some different rooms of the tower and again a sad song playing (could be the dragon age theme again like mentioned above) would have given the player great sad feelings und show the player how hard his decisions and choices really can be
and the 3. idea if you would have added a sad song or the theme to the funeral in redcliffe it would have been more sad to view and to notice what those people have lost and how many died
well that are just very tiny things but in total it would have made the game even better
i think the whole dragon age story is a really sad one telling about sadness, war, dieing, loosing precious things and people of course there is much fun and humor in it too but the main focus in my eyes is the pain and sadness a war brings with it
alistair adds a great bunch of humor and fun into that game hes a lovely charakter and a funny dude and thats great but in my opinion it could have been more sadly and touching in other parts
the deaths and pain and all that feeling could have been increased by so much with those very little things i mentioned above
well thats just my intentions i took while playing the game its still great how it is but maybe you can read my words and impressions and take it as a chance to improve the following contents and additions ^^
thanks for reading and again thank you so much david and the rest of the team for the story, feelings, impressions and much much more
your deep fan
thomas
