Thoughts?

[Zazzerka]

So where is he? I'll launch my four-man assault immediately, assuming the Sovereigns are good.

[TheLittleBird]

Yes. Maybe. We don't know. No.

[EmissaryofLies]

I'd be surprised if he even existed. 

[EmissaryofLies]

Actually, the Maker being a mage would change just about everything. 

 

I'm intrigued at this particular possibility. 

[Just My Moniker]

If we do meet him/her the murder knife NEEDS to be an option! 

[CybAnt1]

One theory I like is if the Maker exists, then It is a Celestial.

Of course, the Titans in WoW are kind of like Celestials, too.

Giant, metallic, world-making gods. 

[Wolfen09]

a self made god....  interesting twist

[tmp7704]

Unfortunately it turns out you were the Maker all along.

Whoops, spoiler I guess.

[Imperatrix Bones]

Possible, I suppose, but it doesn't seem likely to me. If we're to theorise alternatives to godhood, I'd say the Maker being an abnormally powerful demon/spirit is more likely. One powerful enough to separate entire sections of the fade from others, thus creating Thedas. Or maybe the Maker is simply the first of the spirits, but convinced the others he is the creator, yet knows as little about their existence as anyone.

[Mockingword]

Even if he is, it doesn't matter, since the devs have indicated, multiple times, that they have no plans to confirm anything.

It's fun to speculate, though.

[Mockingword]

By all means, speculate away. But OP just asks for "thoughts", and I gave mine.

 

I'm inclined to believe the Maker does not exist, at least, not in any sense that the Chantry understands him.

[Spectre Impersonator]

Yeah, good luck with that.

I am doubtful considering a mage escaping the clutches of death isn't really precedented, and if they were there would be obvious signs of such an event occuring. The blackmarsh as an example had a highly unstable condition of the veil thanks to what the baroness did, which is about the only way we have been shown a mage could exist and survive in the fade. Where is the great number of veil tears all throughout thedas until now, if the maker supposedly created thedas using power this mage would have to have accumulated to pull off such an event? Where is this haunted area of thedas we haven't heard of until now to show evidence such an ascension occuring long ago? Beyond that,  there seems to be a lot of assumptions in general about the maker having actually created the things attributed to him. The maker started as a cult deity and took off with the decline of the tevinter imperiums own state religion, which itself was formed on the ashes of the elven parthenon before them.

 

Who was right? Maybe all of them were right all at once? The fade is a strange place shaped by the dreams of the people, whose to say people didn't dream of an exsistence beyond the physical realm where powerful beings ruled and battled and dwelled seperate from their own kind? Whose to say, that thanks to this belief held by so many people, that the fade wasn't shaped by this faith, which in it of itself could be seen as being a deep seated dream, hope, or ideal, that could reflect upon the fade? That in thedas, thanks to the metaphysical thoughtscape of elves, humans, and qunari alike, that when enough people believe in the same thing at the same time, it doesn't create something real within the fade to hear their prayers and embody their beliefs?

 

Maybe the maker is composed of every mind in thedas that enters the fade, and thinks about the maker exsisting? And that so many  conflicting thoughts and ideas about what the maker is, or what it should be, causes the maker to lose its power in the real world?

I always thought Andraste could've been a Mage herself. A lot of statues of her holding a flame in her hand.....

[General TSAR]

Yes. Maybe. We don't know. No.

[Paul E Dangerously]

At this point, the Maker actually being a more-or-less benevolent but distant deity would be a swerve in itself. "(religious figure) is actually (something else/evil/etc)" is so beaten into the ground.

When Final Fantasy X did it 14 years ago, you know your plot twist is old hat.

[DontWakeTheBear]

Silly Giga, everyone knows the Maker's actually a cat, not a mage.     

[shonawarrior]

Thoughts?

you dare!!!

[volaticus]

The maker is Bioware, I know, horrid pun.

 

I think that the maker is probably dumat for a few reasons, the predominant one is because dumat is considered the dragon of silence or blocking out magic, the maker has templars which can be used to stop magic.

 

Andraste may have created the maker so that people never really questioned her and because she did fight in the war, she may have used the maker to bring down the Tevinter Imperium (especially because many demons (whom could be lying) state that the city was never golden and that there was no maker.)

 

My final theory is that the maker is the veil. Although I think the templar order needs a sword through the heart, not the maker itself.

CHOU GIGAN, DURIRU...... BURAIKA!!!!!!

 

[TheKomandorShepard]

Well that would explain a lot if he was mage endless mine of disasters
