With the sky opening and creatures coming through in the trailer it seems like DA:I is returning to a more conventional fantasy plot. The big bad opens a portal, demons come through, you close it and save the world...

The mages/templars war seems to be secondary to the demons invading. Not that the story still can't have interesting twists or be done in a different way.

Personally I was hoping for a more political  central plot. Even in Origins the Loghain storyline was more interesting than just fighting the Archdemon. I'm really hoping there's more to it.

Agreed. Want more political struggles and international strife than BLARGH DOOMSDAY MONSTERS COMING FROM PORTAL. I thought one of the benefits of the Dragon Age universe is that it had a lot of rich cultures we've barely expanded on and could do more than just the Grey Wardens and Mage/templar fight.

Looked like a tear in the veil to me. A Fade portal. And the creatures were obviously demons.

A lot like what the Serebass was doing in Dragon Age Redemption actually.

Which makes sense considering it's a Mage vs Templar war. Mages have the power to bring creatures from the Fade into the physical world.

I think they decided that DA2 struggled because it didn't have that sort of thing. So went for the genericest plot possible. Or at least, decided to present it as the genericest plot possible, it's possible that actual game will have more depth.

There could be a mage tearing the Veil, although this line of thought makes me think of Warcraft and Medivh. Hopefully it will have another reason for it, there is a lot of death and we know, where there is a lot of death the Veil becomes thinner. So Fiona and her war against the templars might be pushing the Veil to the brink of non-existence.

You're jumping to conclusions and getting ready to rage and complain all from one trailer.

They said from the very beginning of DA3 that the Mage Templar war would be a big focus.

What you saw was just that. The portal in the sky was a tear in the veil, the creatures you saw were demons(they said there'd be new forms of demons in DA3), and for all we know that Horned dragon was probably Flemeth.

Not to mention all of those things(save Flemeth) are within the power of mages to accomplish(especially a whole army working together.)

Looks like political conflicts + big monsters. Which, if you think about it, basically sums up the previous two games.

[Jonata]

I think it's the contrary, they're probably going back to a "double trouble" plot like in DA:O, with the political aspect of the Templar/Mages war causing chaos while the demons arrive. It's pretty much the same thing that happened with Loghain aiming for a coup during the Blight in Origins.

It's a great thing, if you ask me, because true Fantasy live of both worlds: even A Song Of Ice And Fire had the Walkers coming from above to make the political struggle sound even more troublesome. I have great expectations for the plot this time around.

[NoForgiveness]

well we have the civil war in orlais between gasprad and celene, then the mage/Templar war and it looks like the qunari will be invading. id say that's enough awesomeness to rip the veil open.

[Rawgrim]

Sounds abit...game of thronish. War going on. The veil\\the wall breaks. Supernatural forces floods the kingdoms. Dragons returning earlier.

One could theorize that the demon invasion could be a result of the mage/templar war.  The Veil gets torn during battle and we get a Soldier's Peak but on a much larger scale.

And possibly in multiple locations.

this.

[Tinxa]

Still no matter how the veil gets torn the main problem for EVERYONE will be the demons attacking everyone else.

And I sort of sense the "unite the warring templars, mages, qunari, other kingdoms...to fight the demons" coming on
I hope the monsters aren't the main enemy again.

I'm not basing things on just one trailer.  There's the leaked survey too. 

Mage/Templar war will no doubt play a role.  Unite the feuding factions against the otherworldly hordes is the standard fantasy plot.  As seen in DA:O, which was the standard fantasy plot executed very well.

edit:  I acknowledged in the first post, it could just be the marketing.
edit2:  I may not rage, but I do tend to the overly cynical side when it comes to trailers, I think.  They just don't engage my enthusiasm very well, usually.

To echo what's already been said, one of the major complaints of DA2 was the lack of that big, epic, fantasy plot where you combat the hordes of darkness, so obviously they're trying to go back to that.

That doesn't really bother me, as long as there's still a lot of character depth and side stories other than the fighting of the big bad.

Also, the whole thing rather reminded me of the Burning Legion from Warcraft.

Going back to the trailer for Dragon Age Origins with the fight on the mountain, it didn't really portray the concept of the Arch Demon. They took a single quest as made a trailer out of it. I'd wager there's a lot more to it than what we're seeing in an announce trailer.

This would probably be more akin to the "This is the new ****" trailer with the in-engine graphics and unconnected cutscenes.

As such, this is a lot better in comparison.

[Chibi Elemental]

Tears in the fade have happened before we have only witnessed the after effects. So this may just be one really big battle with thousands dieing. I am vary curious what this is all about and SQUEEE VARIK!

[EdwinLi]

No the choice we have is

Save the World

or

Destroy the World

That what the E3 trailer revealed.

[Welsh Inferno]

I'm more interested in what exactly caused such a big tear in the veil.

[ADeadDiehard]

Maybe the politics and forging of alliances will be the first act, the rift opening and wrecking sh*t as act two, and setting things right as act three?
It's conventional, sure. But it works for a reason.

[Boycott Bioware]

Actually, i have been expecting it...lol, and if it is true, then my theory is true....i have been talking about it long time ago in the galaxy far far away...

[Demx]

You must unite the land to fight off the hordes of the dar..Imean demons.

[Vit246]

I do not think I want a basic repeat of DAO.
