As there are only two more old gods left (presumably) there are probably only going to be two more blights. But after these what will happen to the darkspawn? Will they focus solely on the dwarfs? Will they die out? And what will happen to the grey wardens? 

 

Their fate will probably be changed dramatically depending on your choices in Awakening so when answering could you please give your ideas for two scenarios: one where the architect is dead and the last to blights have ended and one where he was spared and the blights have ended (whether because of him or some other reason is up for you to decide, whatever you think is most realistic).

 

Personally if  the architect was killed I think the grey wardens will be deemed mostly obsolete after the blights and will eventually be disbanded. Due to the fact darkspawn wont have to spend vast amounts of resources attacking the surface during the blights and the fact that most of the surface races wont care about the darkspawn after the major threat is other, I think the darkspawn will press harder than ever at the dwarfs and eventually might even drive them out of the deep roads (possibly, I'm not too sure about this part). The darkspawn would then remain as a minor nuisance to the surface races only drawing attention when they launch raids (which would probably be more often than raids in-between blights but wouldn't be enough to get surface races to try to fully eliminate the darkspawn).

 

And if the Architect was spared? I honestly have know idea. Best case scenario: the darkspawn are freed of the calling, kill the last two old gods and help give back the lost thaigs to the dwarfs. An age of prosperity will then follow where darkspawn and other races work together to make the world a better place. Worst case scenario: architect decides that his plan in the calling was the best option after all, but messes up and kills everyone in the world. The end. My guess is that what happens if you spare the architect is largely dependant on what we do in future games and could potentially be something like either of these endings or anything in-between.

No it won't. They can't even make major changes based on the Dark Ritual. It'd be nice, but...

 

As for the answer to this question, I have no idea, but it should be interesting.

Thats the problem, sentient beings will inevitably disagree and in this case what would happen when millions of darkspawn come pouring out of the ground unintentionally spreading plagues and killing the land because they want some breathing room and want to enjoy surface life. Darkspawn can never coexist with normal beings as long as the Darkspawn infect the land and people. Also with millions of thinking darkspawn whats to stop them from just banning together and strategizing a take over of thedas. We saw how devistating that was in Awakening yet that was microscopic compared to their full numbers

The Grey Wardens will always exist until the last Darkspawn is killed. Just because there are no more Blights doesn't mean the Darkspawn will just disappear.

Yep, this. It's not like they'll suddenly lose the ability to create broodmothers and fill their ranks because there are no more archdemons.

[Divine Justinia V]

I think even if there isn't a blight some darkspawn surface. Like in Amaranthine in DAO:A there was some darkspawn issues, sometimes at a farm or just randomly in the roads. I do wonder if the Grey Wardens will ever clear out the Deep Roads indefinitely.

[Steelcan]

Without Archdemons to lead them to the surface., the darkspawn would become a dwarven problem for the most part.

 

 

Well there is the whole deal with the Architect....

[Anvos]

Considering how the Mother reacted its likely that, saying all the darkspawn don't come pouring to the surface during the final blight, they likely go insane and start attacking without one.

[Monoten]

If the architect was spared, I think there will be peace or something similar like that between the dwarfs and the darkspawn each holding a different part of the deep roads. Perhaps the Grey Wardens and the darkspawn might work together to let the old gods be awakened in a controlled environment, where they can destroy them faster. 

 

If the Architect is killed, it would mean that the darkspawn will be the mindless beasts they were. Darkspawn would still attack the dwarfs at regular interval. The Grey Wardens have to be prepared for the day another Archdemon will appear.

[Anvos]

Problem is that the Architect's special darkspawn still spread the blight, so I don't see any lasting peace, especially since 90% of the world would likely say its safer to wipe them all out, even if their the only darkspawn left. 

 

Plus there is still the problem that they kind of have to steal females from other races to make new brood mothers.

[KaiserShep]

I see no possibility of peace with blight-spreading parasites. The only good darkspawn is a dead darkspawn. The true power of the Blight is on the organization of the horde, not necessarily the archdemon itself. Even if they killed each other in droves with infighting, there's no reason why one faction won't eventually win out and look to replenish its numbers by snatching females, so I killed the Architect as well as his messenger. If my Warden had the power to set the entire Deep Roads ablaze with the equivalent of GoT's wildfire, I would probably have pursued that option.

[Nox]

I don't see a point for awakened darkspawn to make more broodmothers>

[Hanako Ikezawa]

If the Awakened Darksawn continue the isolationist stance they seem to be taking, then they won't need new Broodmothers to increase their numbers anymore.

[KaiserShep]

I'm not that I would risk strengthening them through the power of sentience on the off chance that they'd all simply wish to isolate themselves indefinitely. Unless they're immortal, stopping their efforts to create broodmothers means that they will simply have to come to terms with extinction.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

The Darkspawn are referred to as ageless, which is a synonym for immortal.

[Anvos]

Brood Mothers can't spawn brood mothers, so unless they take new females from other races they'd eventually attrition themselves into extinction due to infighting or accidents killing the ones they already have.

What would stop one of the millions of them from grabbing a female?

They die if you stick a blade in their guts or set them on fire. Not so immortal, I'd say.

[KaiserShep]

Nothing, and that's really the problem. All it takes is one. Hell regular human beings do jacked up things even without the whole ghoulish taint infecting them, so what's to stop one of the countless monsters that have already been doing this for thousands of years?

[Anvos]

For some reason this thing won't let me quote,

 

So the answer to SerCambria is if they have to take females to make more, and since DAO implied not all survive the transformation, it will lead to war with the those the awakened darkspawn are trying to keep peace with.

Exactly, its a unique issue where i actually agree with just exterminating a sentient race. Its sad but nothing positive comes from them, literally nothing

In other words its an unavoidable mess regardless. If only there was a way to truly isolate them on a lifeless continent  

[KaiserShep]

I doubt the dwarves would abandon their pursuit of killing darkspawn. Their Legion of the Dead would probably just push further and further into the Deep Roads, no matter how far the darkspawn retreat, especially since one of the primary goals of the dwarves is to reclaim the thaigs lost to the horde in the first place, of which there are quite a few.

What browser are you using? Sometimes internet explorer wont let you quote.

Internet Explorer is a blight.
