I have played both DAO and DA2 on the Xbox 360 but plan to play DAI on the PS4. Is there a way that my choices from the previous games somehow carry over into the PS4. Even if it's just a checklist of choices so I don't play the default story. Can someone set my mind at ease so I don't have to worry?

They're working on something. What is unknown and they're not ready to reveal it yet.

Thank you! You set my mind at ease

Well they needed something to go with in order to have a baseline for new players. I'm honestly just glad they didn't pick a Human Noble, as that was by far the blandest way to play Dragon Age in my opinion.

Also, while the OGB isn't canon, Witch Hunt is. Awakening, Amgarrak, and Witch Hunt happened, just with the Orlesian Warden-Commander as opposed to the Hero of Ferelden.

THANK YOU

seriously, even removing the fact you were a human in that origin, that was the worst of the origins.

To me it was the best, it felt Cousland´s tale gave way to the main plot, instead of getting some mention in one of the sidemissions.

It´s possible Dalish was the chosen origin because it was the one with less ties to the rest of the game.

That is really jumping too conclusion. Also the only ones on the PS3 who have cloud saving is those wiht PS3+. Something not everybody has.

Hmm? PC users have it as well through Origin, I just made sure to add some of my most prominent save games to the cloud last week.

DA:O runs without Origin. This would mean, that only people, who played DA2, could import.

Are you insulting King Cousland? Off with your head!

I agree with some here saying that I don't care which Origin they DID use, just that I'm glad for the one they DIDN'T use -- Human fing Noble. Worst Origin by far. Thank you Bioware, thank you, for not making the default character male OR human and especially for making them NOT HUMAN NOBLE, THE WORLD'S MOST GENERIC BACKSTORY.

I thought the Human Noble origin was the best one. My first playthrough was a dwarf noble.

I quite enjoyed Human Noble. Was my favorite, and the one I carried over.

Female City Elf was my first playthrough. God, that was brutal.

Almost finished my Dalish male, then I've got a Dwarf Commoner lined up at the starting gate. I don't think my PC can run DA2 above its lowest settings; haven't purchased yet for that reason.

The problem with this is what if something goes wrong in the shift from current gen to next gen if you choice to pick that system to play the game an and the save file doesn't transfer over? Or what if there are glitches where certain choices won't register and effectively ruin the entire point?

That is why people have problems with 'canon' origins. You assume that if someone is using the default origin that they don't care about the past story but what if you have to choice the default because the save files don't work properly? Why not do the Mass Effect 3 comic option where you can choice key plot points in the past games?

Just a guess, but not all will have Saved Files on newer systems.

Yes, we're aware of that-- and have an answer, which we will discuss. Later.

really hope it covers EVERYTHING, as i have stuff from DA:O and DA2 all over the place

I remain extremely pessimistic on the idea of transferring saves from one system to another. The save transfer to DA:2 was buggy. For me my save had Nathaniel surviving the attack on the fortress but in DA:2 there was a glitch where the game assumed that if you left him behind then he dies and because of that I was never able to play his quest in DA:2. I can see situations like this especially because it will be so much more moving between saves.

In DA2 it was a simple read of game data on the system and there were still problems. For the next gen they'll take the save files from an account like we have here. Now there's three steps for the save data. From the game, to the account, and then to DA:I. That just gives more possibilities for improper save transfer. Not to mention people without reliable internet connections will never be able to transfer saves current gen to next gen.

Just do a Mass Effect 3 comic selection please.

To TaintMaster - Hi and thank you for watching my video. Although David Gaider and others have already addressed the issue on the canon in this thread, I think I should apologize for the...I guess, non-specificity? of my original video. The comments contained a bit of distress, as people thought this "Bioware canon" was to affect the player's own personal decisions in their own games. It's just for the books and comics, which I thought I had addressed okay. In future vids, I'll try and avoid this confusion.

[Paul E Dangerously]

If you want to get technical about it, Human Commoner would've been the world's most generic backstory, which is precisely why Bioware didn't have one.

Personally, the Dwarf Noble is my favorite.

[Ozzy]

I'm surprised by how much flak the HN origin seems to be getting here. It's one of the best in terms of story and how well it's integrated into the whole tale.

It's okay, but I too am happy that they didn't just go "human male warrior" with the default warden.

Human Commoner got an entire game of its own. It's called Dragon Age 2 =)

[DarthSliver]

Personally I only see Bioware being able to work PS3 to PS4 and 360 to XboxOne. I cant see them being able to make a 360 save go to a PS4 and work properly but thats probably just me. I only say that because Playstation Plus I can see will make it possible for PS3 saves to get on the PS4.

Also I think a comic like Mass Effect did to let people pick some major choices would be a better way to go than a straight up default. People make excellent points and the transfer thing is usually always bugged when the game first comes out and we end up having to wait for a patch to fix it.

 So... can someone tell me which DLCs will be accounted for/not so I can save myself some time?

Hawke isn't all that common, though. His father and sister are effectively outlaws, he/she might be an outlaw, and if not has already served in the King's army and fought Darkspawn. Not really that common at all!

[Pakundo]

I just assumed DA2's "The Hero of Ferelden" save was the canon, because you know, a Human Noble doing the best he can and taking the third options whenever he can to please almost everyone and get the best, most morally satisfying results.

Almost exactly like my canon save, actually.

Of the expansions and DLC, we know for sure about Awakening, Warden's Keep and Witch Hunt, because they appear in DA2's imported decision list.

For everything else - Stone Prisoner, Return to Ostagar and Golems of Amgarrak - the only question is "have these events happened?", and it can be assumed that they always happened, if not necessarily with the Warden involved. The same with Leliana's Song. The only "canonically uncanonical" DLC would be the Darkspawn Chronicles.

Canon for the comics doesn't mean canon for the games.

[Taure Tavari]

I have a question for Bioware, specifically someone with influence.

I previously owned both DA:O + all Content, DA2 + all content on my PC. I had the unfortunate experience of getting a new PC and not being able to copy everything across.
Now I have DA:O on PS3, and DA2 on Xbox 360, although this doesn't make much sense, I had little choice.

I was hoping that you could consider a system that, when beginning a game on DA (Inquisition may be too late, but future games are possible) which allows you to pick individual options for the events in previous DA games and their DLCs.

For example, if I were to begin a new game on Inquisition; I could choose to:

- Import a save
- Choose a default history
- Create a DA history

This would allow me to pick between all the major events in DA. I have no idea of the cost or time it would take to create such a system; but at least consider it if you have not done so already.
