 It appears as if I'm one of the few people who wish for a proper closure to Wynne's story. She was one of my favorite companions in DAO and had a very complex backstory wich I wish should be explored further. Mainly:

- The fade spirit living inside her. Did it return to the fade and she die? Or is it still with her? She once mentioned that she believed a mage could be possesed by a spirit or demon and still be able to maintain control over himself.

- Why was she in a hurry in the expansion? Something to do with a mages reunion or something?

- What happened to her son? If he survived, would he be an apostate? Or did they take him to another circle of magi?

She and her son are in Asunder.

I'm not sure, but I think they answer your questions in the Asunder book. Haven't read it but I remember people on the forum having mentioned how her story goes and about her son.

Edit: Yea, see above.

Read Asunder.

I know this is addressed in Asunder, but I agree with the OP and would like to see some info on what happened to her appear in the actual game. The games should work as a story in their own right, without requiring external knowledge from books and comics. It's great that those things exist, but not at the expense of tying up narratives that first appeared in-game.

There was this big plot thread dangling over her in DA:O that she was going to die (which could only happen if the Warden killed her) and then she had a brief cameo in Awakening, where she was still alive and well. We were set up for something big happening to her and then it never transpired. It will be a hit of an anticlimax if it turns out that's all we get.

I see. I wish this happened in a game, though. I was really hoping we would see her again. Oh well

It's not about finding out every little thing about every single character, it's a request for a specific plot thread that was left dangling and which had a fairly big set-up to be resolved.

We don't need 'closure' for characters like Loghain, Alistair, Connor, Anora, Fenris etc (though if they re-appeared it could be done well), since their narrative arcs ended quite neatly in most cases, with a little mystery added in cases like Connor. Wynne was an exception: it doesn't make dramatic sense to hint frequently that something big is going to happen to a character only to have them quietly disappear without that hint being followed up on or addressed in any way.

Yup, since she's dead, she's not relevant to the game and is unlikely to be talked about to the protagonist since she's not important to him. You'll probably get "Oh, she died" somewhere along the way.

[Unknown_Warrior]

Either she died in Origins or she's dead through anciliary lore.
Either way, she's dead Jim.

I don't agree she had any kind of "set-up." we knew she had a spirit of Faith giving her life, and that she would die when it ran out of strength or from natural causes. There's little doubt in my mind that she would be dead after ten years--it doesn't need to be addressed.

Fair enough, it's just my subjective reading of it. To me, it seemed pretty clear that her character arc was building to something that needed to be resolved at some point and that her story was weaker without that resolution. I'm guessing the writers felt similarly, which is why they used Asunder to wrap up her story. If you felt that the game gave you enough to go on that you could fill in the blanks, then that seems fair.

Shale and Leliana were there, so it's possible we'll hear about it (also possible that Evangeline or Rhys might make an appearance in Inquisition as well).

It would be nice to have it expressed somewhere in the game, I agree (and if the spirit possessing her ever comes up, I don't see how it wouldn't).

[Moonfish88]

Even if she was going to die eventually, it just seems like such a waste not to explore it further. At least in game. She was a big character with no ordinary fate that was never mentioned again.

Better suggestion: Don't read Asunder. Read Wynne's wiki article.

Read her Wiki article or read Dragon Age Asunder.
I really do not want that scene put in DAI. The book was enough...

[Reidbynature]

Frankly I'd be happy if Inquisition or another Dragon Age game outright contradicted things from tie-in media. I don't think it's a good idea to have those things as canon to the games. They should be their own separate canon. I don't think it's a great idea to have things in the games set out by whatever the tie-in media. Somehow I doubt the games audience are rushing out to buy every book, comic or whatever so they can understand and know everything that's going on.

[Potato Cat]

I'd quite like to talk to her spirit directly. Faith, was it?

Neither?

No. That was a great book. Read Asunder.

I couldn't agree more.  Some stories don't get closure.  They just end.
