Well, there's the Andrastean Maker (crafted by in-game characters), the theoretical Maker (who crafted the world of Thedas in-game), and the true Maker.  The identity of the second is the only one that I believe will not be revealed.   The first is a twisted amalgam of the actions of spirit-elves.  And the third...

 

*rests a comforting hand on Cassandra's shoulder*

 

"Cass, the Maker's True Name is David Gaider.  And He is a cruel and vengeful God."

 

Somewhere out there David Gaider is chuckling at this. It's also 100% true.

So a question on interactive banters. Did anyone get the one where Solas questions Lavellan about being Dalish? Supposedly there's one where Varric asks about your accent too...? I just ran through the beginning of the game again and nothing fired. Maybe I should just leave them standing around in game and watch TV to see if it times up at some point.

Yes, for me it usually triggers as you're get to the frozen lake part shortly after Solas and Varric join your party. It's right after the tactical camera tutorial part. You can go past a burning house and up a slope towards where some demons are clustered and there's a Lifeward amulet drop- that's where I always get that dialogue.

I got one where Solas talks about meeting the Dalish, and Quizzie can say something like "they're your people too" and he says "they did not feel that way" (paraphrasing). Happened when I was walking uphill before meeting Leliana & angry priest guy.

 

nothing on the accent though.

The accent one is Varric commenting to a Trevelyan, guessing where she's from.

 

Solas says "the other Dalish I met did not feel the same way." If you ask what he means by encountering the Dalish, he says he tried to share knowledge with them and they called him flat ear and drove him off.

 

Sorry for the double post.

Also, can I just say how envious I am of all the beautiful screenshots of Solas that all of you posted? I mean, he looks okay on my PS3 despite being low res/low textured but just seeing shots of him from the PC and next gen consoles is just absolutely breathtaking.

Thanks for the quick replies, folks. Time to return to the game. I had to quit and reload because my new face did not render properly, though it was quite fun seeing my gums and eyes way off to the left.

HAHAHA and I thought my crackpot theories were amusing. Interesting idea, but Bioware is not going to mess with the Maker story because they don't want to deal with the fallout from Christian players.

 

Not to cause conflict, but this seemed like an unneccesarily confrontational comment even to me, a member of the pagan community. Someone could easily say that a bunch of atheists would be up in arms if it turns out that they write the Maker as being real. Everyone should avoid painting entire communities with such broad strokes. Bioware is probably not addressing it directly because it is too big of question to be handled in a video game of all places. Leave it ambiguous so that players can play their character's beliefs as they want, not to enforce any agenda of writers.

You just killed me. Dead, done, nope. Laughing too hard. Thank you (because I wrote some seriously sad Solavellan fic today and I needed that laugh).

That in game banter was great!

That one and the one where Sera asks if Solas ever pissed magic.

I do not mean to say that Christians would be more angry than Atheists. It's just that in terms of the game's main audience there are probably more Christians than Atheists so why risk offending a large user base? It's possible that the writers don't want to touch on such a personal belief, but I doubt that considerations of money and politics did not come into play.

 

Edit: And it's just not any god story. The parallels between the Maker and Jehovah is just too close for them to risk messing with any huge reveals. That is just my opinion.

[Hattress]

Just come up with something. I recalled that after DAII many one believed that next dragon age will focus on how to solve problem between mages and templars and somehow gives us an answer....

But it turned out that in DAI they avoiding directly answer how to treat mages by introduce a new big bad and boom! 

Mages and templars we have more important matters at hand, most of you are either blown up/controlled/bury under snow and don't have much power left

Just play good child and obey the inquisition~

 

So they might run the story in some unexpected ways in the next game

I meant to post this earlier, but I couldn't find it so I had to go back digging in the Fade. Here's something for you guys to think about with your theories.

It seems elven blood was a key component in the magister's initial attempt to breach the Fade, and elves have magic in their blood. I can't help but feel that this is something important.

Still catching up on the thread, but I just have to give a collective hnnnng for all the high-quality screencaps you guys are sharing. A+++ so good thank you his gorgeous face sweet maker.

All this art work makes me wish I could draw. I could make a rockin stick figure with little lines out of the head for ears.

OGB Kieran does mention (eerily) that you have "old blood" if you're an elf IIRC

I think this is interesting I remember reading it before but for what ever reason did not revisit it. I think it could be be very relevant later.......I do remember thinking Corybutt had a wifey...WWWHHHAAATTT!?

Are we still swinging around the silly crackpot theory that the Creators are trapped on another continent and Ghill'nain made the Qunari?

 

I hope so.  I like that one.  Especially since the probably truth is so much sadder.

 

Well if we are then ... aha!
