 Since the 5th Blight, will they still show signs of the Blight by having the darkspawn around?  I'd hate to see deviation from the original story..

[Veruin]

But...the darkspawn aren't the original story. The original story of Dragon Age is a timeline of significant events that happened during the Dragon Age period in Thedasian history.

Maybe a bit of blighted lands in the process of going back to fresh green grass.

*facepalm* yes the darkspawn are the original story. They are quite literally the story of dragon age: origins. 

That said, I hope there are still signs. The blight was nothing compared to the lore of previous blights, I'd hate to see ferelden and the wilds fully recovered within a decade.

Like you said though, the fifth blight was nipped in the bud rather quickly, not a lot of time to do lasting damage to a wide area, and we're not sure which parts of Fereldan we'll be seeing. It might be that we simply don't visit the places most likely to be blighted.

It could be interesting to have a blighted land to visit, though. Darkspawn would be far more villainous if they were actually a blight, not just a funky looking army.

The way the OP has it worded, implies they think Darkspawn/the blight are central to the series.

That would require more pc plot armour.

It is known that we are going to the Frostback Mtns, but they were never touched by the blight.

Redcliffe was struck once, but that was put down too quickly for the blight to really take hold.

If we go near Lothering, however, or Ostagar, then we'd be likely to see the signs of the blight.

Why would it require plot armor?

The lands are tainted and to a none grey warden, they would infect them.  That's part of the reason you see blight wolves and whatnot in Origins.

[Rotward]

Then we should have seen them in origins. ****ing lame.

so return to ostagar didn't occur it seems and you do fight plenty of blight wolves

[Rotward]

The only difference from before was the snow, and who occupied the territory.

[The Baconer]

Isn't that first area in DA2 supposed to be a stretch of land ravaged by the blight?

^ It was lothering, the blight was an improvement.

[thetinyevil]

I think there might be in some areas of Ferelden. The way the developers talked about the area a Ferelden they were in for the demo was mostly untouched by the blight so was still green and pretty. It kinda implies that other parts of Ferelden are blighted still. Or at least that is how it seem to me.

Hate breaking this to you respectively, but everything about Dragon Age Origins was about the Blight. Politics was about the blight. King Cailan was killed by the blight. Teryn Loghain turned coward and ran because of the blight. He tried killing off the Couslands using Arl Howe using the blight. The Hero of Ferelden whether he or a she was based on "The Blight."  The hero's brother was fighting the blight. Denerim was attacked by the blight and the Archdemon. No matter where you went as far as your hero was concerned, it was about the Blight. Even in Awakenings, it was about what was leftovers from the Blight because someone was "guiding them." A speaking darkspawn." 
  Thedasian history is about the Tevinter Imperium who invaded the Maker's city, then was cast out only to return as the first darkspawn, known as the first blight, with the first Archdemon, Dumat.

Hate to break it to you, but you and I are talking about different things.  I am talking about the series as a whole.  You are talking about the first game.

Since we're visiting Fereldan, I will love to see it still recovering.

Other than that, most major nations have not been touched by the Blight for hundreds of years.

Well the Anderfels apparently still bares the scars of the First Blight.  But I don't think we're going that far north.

Nitpick: Loghain isn't involved the Cousland massacre. That's a political grab on Howe's part, who then allies with Loghain. Although the Couslands do seem to be loyal to the king, Loghain stands little to gain by pre-Ostagar slaughtering the lot of them (remember it's not certain that he'll kill Cailan -- Cailain might back down and not join the troops, the darkspawn may get weaker in numbers, etc.)

Back on-topic, we should still see marks of the Blight, especially in less central locations and most famously Lothering. It may have only last a year, and not really manifested as a full Blight until partway through, but the darkspawn still carry the Taint and destroyed a bunch of village0s; plus, there was the large-scale battle in the capital city that's gotta end up with a few buildings clubbed. It may not be enough to cripple Ferelden, but it's gonna leave a mark, even if a lot of it can be repaired/rebuilded in time. So I'd like to see some signs, at least, albeit not Anderfels-levels of "oh, everything is Tainted or ruined".

we most likely will, but it does depend on where we go in Ferelden. The deeper south we go the more damage there would have been as the Darkspawn come up from the Korcari wilds.

[Aolbain]

There has to be a 6th blight before we can have a final one.

[Papajack55]

One person I would love to see in DA3, SANDAL!!! His father(albeit-the man who took him in was getting up there in years) so it may seem unlikely we'll see him, unless it's on his death bed. But Sandal, now there's a guy who can make Tranquils and anyone else who works with lyrium and runes look like little kids. He folds and rolls and does his thing and "Boom!" lol
I would love to see Sandal again.

If I remember correctly during the Denerim fight scene, I came upon Sandal in the Fort inside the castle and he was just standing there smiling, surrounded by dead darkspawn all over the place. If I want a partner or companion, I would want it to be him.

Crestwood, the place in the demo, was supposed to be mostly untouched by the Blight, so that's why it looked all nice and pretty. In the 'leaked survey' one of the summaries of the game mentions that Ferelden is struggling to reclaim its land from the Darkspawn, which is strange considering the Blight was not that bad. Even so, parts of Ferelden were probably hit pretty hard.

One concept art released has some speculating it is Redcliffe, and if that is the case, we might see Blight damage there, as it was attacked and Lothering is not that far away from Redcliffe. Who knows where we might go. It would be pretty interesting to see what the Blight actually does to the land.

Redcliffe?
