 The game is about war, inevitably people are meant to die, however with the DA series seems to lack that grit and seems to come out somewhat cartoony. Perhaps take a leaf out of Game of Thrones "Red Wedding" and cause some shock the audience, it certainly got peoples attention. For example my LI for DA2 is Merril, who simply describing her, comes across as innocent, if someone like her was to die, it'd have a real impact on the game.

However just my opinions, interested to see how people respond to the idea...God i sound morbid XD

EDIT: "you’ll make your mark in an expansive, story-driven open world filled with complex characters, challenging combat and difficult decisions."

Another aspect i'm getting at is the lack of hard decisions, i really don't think I've been challenged by more than 2 decisions across the series, it would be a great opportunity to introduce these challenging decisions :/ I mean whats harder than choosing between severe consequences and saving say your LI (who most tend to care most about) or winning a battle for the greater good, saving lives but at the cost of you LI who you care the most about.

No I completely agree. People need to die in a war. I'm even ready to star mourning about my lovely Hawke.

Give me a Red Wedding :X.

What if the dead person Varric is mourning over in the trailer is Hawke?

That's what I thought as well.

Hope they killed off Hawke that would make my day.

dark =/= killing off characters

guild wars 2's story involves conflict with an elder dragon and its minions and NPCs died left, right and centre to the point that it was just "oh look at this likeable NPC, I bet they'll die".

Anders got Hawke killed. That should anger alot of the Anders fans.

I wouldn't mind that, since Hawke was the most ****iest and emotionless character i have ever played.

Also, for OP you already have series that are on pretty much the same level as Game of Thrones and that is The Witcher. Red Wedding is kinda similiar to moment when Henselt invites all Roche's man to fest and they all get slaughtered and he rapes Ves. But yeah i agree, the trailer did had a lot of darkness in it and considering it's war with black magic or something then people should get killed.

Disagree death needs to come down to consequences of choices given it is an rpg. I don't railroaded deaths for previous companions/LI's/protaganists.

Better: A Red Wedding as a result of your choices.

Looks to be a female he is looking down at. Maybe its Bethany? I suspect mages might get hanged and whatsnot after the events in DA2. Its obviously someone he knows in any case. Might even be Isabela or Merril.

Killing off characters just for it's own sake and the shock value? Meh.

Killing off characters we've come to care about if the story calls for it in a shocking way that makes perfect sense once the initial shock wears off? Now we're talking.

When there is a war going on, you can't chose everything. You're no god.

[Eterna]

But then you'd have another ME3. This fanbase hates reality.

There can be plenty of deaths player can't control in the plot but those of previous protaganist/LI/companions should be linked to player choice imo.

With party RPGs, you have to be careful about this since it could severely interrupt someone's gameplay formation just simply because the game happened to kill of the character the player uses as a tank when fighting. It's part of the reason you get a ton of 'I chose Anders cause he was the healer' arguments.

Give us choice... DAO worked because it could be as dark or "lighter" depending on what you did.. do not pull a GoT and shove trauma and angst into the plot just to be "edgy". There is enough darkness in GoT that I could do without any for quite some time... actually am quite sick of that level of darkness.

Well, DAI's still got about a year and a half to go, so go watch and read some light-hearted stories until you're sick of it, and then be ready for some more 'edgy, mature, dark-fantasy' story.

[Jamesnew2]

Thing is if your storming a castle, thousands can die, I think there should be choices which can save certain characters, but cause another to die. Think more like Kaiden/Ashley in Mass effect and less Bethany/Carver in DA2, i think that's the best analogy i can give.

I'd actually be okay with this. Died with his one true bro.

I'd rather not have DA3 megadark doe.

Then why the **** would you take the darker options if you can get a happily-ever after ending?

[twilekaoi]

I agree. I want to be able to make the most difficult choices, ever. Kill off The Hero of Orlais, or The Hero of Ferelden? Kill Hawke, or a baby kitten?

That type of stuff.

I agree, death in a RPG doesn't mean anything is it isn't a consequence or a sacrifice from the players decision.
