Which is exactly the reason why I DON'T want him to be. It's too predictable, too boring, too unimaginative, too "been there, done that".

 

And I mean, magisters of Old Tevinter being responsible for the end of the world? What a novel concept. It's not like Tevinters are ever made to be the villains!

I don't know if its supposed to be a mystery. If it turns out to be true, they've been dropping hints about it for a long time. The devs said we'd meet the villain well before the end of the game too so I don't think its supposed to be a surprise.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the level cap confirmed to be 20 or 20-25? If that is the case, then the following achievement is impossible to achieve: Veteran: Reach Level 30 with the Inquisitor  

 

Therefore, this is a false achievement list.

Bioware said max rank would be 25 or 30.

About leak i don't know what to think about it im not quick in trusting in such thing on other hand in me 3 it turned to be true.

Thank you, both. One thing that I have thought of since my last post was that all of the Dragon Age games have secret achievements and this list doesn't have any. I would have at least expected the one called A Long Time Coming to have been a secret achievement. If this ends up being the real achievement list then great, I have no problems with it. It just feels fishy to me, I can't get over the achievement names, I don't know why, but they don't strike me as names that Bioware would use.

In retrospect, it almost seems obvious that Corypheus would be, in some form, behind the Veil tear.

 

Who would be capable of something like that? A powerful, ancient Tevinter Magister.
Who has performed similar magic before? The Tevinter Magisters.

What's said to be on the other side of the Fade? The Black City that the Magisters apparently corrupted.
What is one of the known major factions in DA:I? The Venatori, a Tevinter-based group.

It wouldn't surprise me (or disappoint me) if Corypheus was acting on behalf of or for benefit of the Old Gods.

 

Though I'm also certain Flemeth will play some major role in it all, too, and Corypheus could still simply be a major but not the final villain. Either way, I'd be shocked if Cory didn't play some semi-major part in DA:I.

I wonder what Wyrms are. Maybe they're lizard mounts for the Inquisitor

[Mirrman70]

A wyrm in classical dragon terminology is of similar appearance to that of Skyrim Dragons. snake like, often kind of a winged serpent kind of thing. however DA wyverns aren't like classical wyverns so eh.  However depending on where you look a wyrm can look like a normal thedas dragon, especially the more medieval and renaissance age depictions of wyrms. the only real similarity between thedas wyverns and classical wyverns is the whole venomous thing.

This is what I'm thinking as well.

 

Having Corypheus being one of the bosses/baddies behind the Veil tear I can buy, but being the mastermind behind the whole plan and being the ultimate villain of the DA:I ... not so sure about that.

 

He was an interesting character and boss in Legacy, but I feel like he's a bit too "been there, done that" to be the final final boss. Most probably he's working for either the Old Gods, or possibly one of the Forbidden Ones (since all of the Forbidden ones have made an apperance in the games/books except the Formless One, who is still my guess at the moment). And Flemeth is always a possibility, although I have a feeling she's more interested in self-peservation than world-domination, though I could be completely wrong about her and her motives. In any case, I think it has been confirmed (?) that she's at least making an appearance, so my guess is that she's in some way involved with either the Rifts or the Inuisition -- or both.

 

Then there's also the possibility that Corypheus is the ultimate boss of DA:I, but the game ends with another cliff-hanger and an allusion to the (wo)man behind the curtain.

 

But to make Corypheus a compelling villain for the whole game there would have to be loads of new stuff for us to learn and to discover about him so that he'll make sence as a threat - Hawke and co. gave him a pretty good whooping (or at least it looked like they did) in Legacy, and in my opinion there needs to be a good enough explanation as to why he a) didn't blow a nice little hole where the Vimmark Mountains used to be and take Hawke and co. plus the Wardens out completely, or : did the song and dance with Hawke if he's able to pull Fade Rifts out of his robes whenever he pleases.

 

But it appears he is one of the ancient magisters who have teared the Veil once already... maybe the Real Big Bad came for him (and the other ancient magisters) for help to open the Rift as a part of his/her Grand End Game Plan?

 

But all in all, not really convinced that Corypheus is the Final Boss. But if he is... then I'm glad I got myself accidentally spoiled, because at least now I can brace myself for the disappointment.

Bioware said max rank would be 25 or 30.

 

They said 25-30, which is DA2 "level cap range" and also mean that level 30 is probably not reachable. Reaching level 30 in DA2 without cheating (exploit or otherwise) is almost impossible. That's why the level achievement was level 20. You can even finish the game under that.

[TurretSyndrome]

Regarding Corypheus.

 

One other possibility is that Corypheus is the reason why Hawke may appear in Inquisition. Maybe he's been hunting Corypheus during these past three years. We've known that it was his father who strengthened the seal so Hawke may aid us in doing so again. I'll be looking forward to this quest chain if it exists. 

 

On a side note, I find it amusing that everything Hawke did in DA 2 just backfired and is made worse. When I finished Legacy I was like "well, at least I got to wrap this one up" but NOPE! Think again. The only thing he did which helped people is the fight against the Arishok, but I'm not so sure about that one now.

I'd love that! But with the Keep and the limitation it brings to importing previous PCs appearance wise, I'm kinda sceptical BW would do that... but oh Maker I wish this happened. Add the Warden, who in DA:A ran into another talking Darkspawn who might be alive as well, and that'd have the potential to be my favourite quest ever.

 

As to regarding Hawke... well, DA2 is a tragedy (in the literary sence), so I am not surprised that things keep getting bad to worse around Hawke despite his/her best efforts -- and sometimes because of them.

I'm almost certain that DA:I will end on a cliff-hanger setting up the next game. That's why I could possibly see Corypheus being the "final villain" in this game, just for it to be revealed in the end that he was being manipulated by and/or serving something greater.

 

I've also had a feeling for a long time now that Flemeth will be one of the series final antagonists, though I doubt that will come to fruition in this game.

You can keep playing after the end of the main story and there are a range of endings, so I think a cliffhanger is very unlikely. 

 

If the reaction to DA2's story and ME3 showed anything, it's that many people appreciate clarity and closure.

The first achievement proves my theory for the pc being a chantry tool. To a point.

It doesn't really mean that. It just implies that we'd be working with elements of the Chantry whether we like it or not. That doesn't make us the Chantry's tool.

[St. Victorious]

Corypheus can't be the main villian? Why? 
 

Spoiler

Because how did a mere mortal, Malcom and Co, kick his a**, then Hawke in a battle where we was all 'help me dumat kenobi you are my only hope' and got cool powers he otherwise wouldn't have, then STILL get his a** kicked, died, and had to posses someone cus he was so weak and puny? 
 
He survived the battle though, but so what? He's nothing compared to like Flemeth or an Archdemon.

 
That doesn't mean we won't be SEEING him in game maybe, but no ways he's the big bad.

Your reasoning is a little off. In both cases Cory was sealed and wasn't near full power. Also Dumat is dead and didn't give him any powers. He's had 3+ years to scheme to recover his full powers.

I agree he's not main villain material as he's the obvious choice and would not make the good Bioware standard for plot twists and development.

Foreshadowing the next game would be a-okay with me, but a cliff-hanger, topped with a fake-out final boss who was not, in the end, the Final Boss? I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to do that in BW's shoes. They'd have to have some pretty sweet ambrosia in store for later to make that work. Not saying they couldn't to that, but I have a feeling that ending could make a lot of people really angry. Then again, some people are always going to be angry no matter what the developers do, so I guess its a gamble either way.

 

Regardless, whoever is going to be the big bad should be threatening enough that defeating him/her should give the game some closure, but since DA is not a trilogy, it should also leave room to other, possibly bigger baddies in the future games, without making the PC feel like the whole thing was for nothing and the whole game was just a big cliff-hanger ladden setup for future game(s) -- which was people's main criticism of DA2's ending. Seeing how far the team has gone to make sure everyone knows how much DA:I is not like DA:2 (which at least I am personally sad about, because DA:2 did a lot of stuff really well in my opinion), I kinda doubt they'd go the full-on cliff-hanger -way.

 

(And on the topic of DA:2 - if the achievement list is real, I am glad that CCCs are back. Ever since I only saw Shattering in the demo I thought CCCs had gotten the axe)

[BloodyTalon]

Dealing with Corypheus strikes me more has a gathering allies thing and part of a larger plot, doesn't the grey wardens have a bit more influncee in stinky cheese land, then wet dog country?

Plus he has been asleep for a very very long time, doubt he has been planning and sleeping. Remember when hawke woke him up he was utterrly confused about what was going on.  He will just be a big boss has part of the main plot and gathering allies, Lets face it he would have knowledge about such massive tears and how to deal with them, wouldn't surpise me if you also have the option to side with him and get him has an ally.

[Black Jimmy]

If there was an achievement for kill Corypheus, then it would be a bit vague in the description.

Yes. I'll devour my next door neighbor if they have a cliffhanger ending.

They can offer closure to DA:I's story and still allow us to play after the ending whilst including a cliff-hanger.

 

Eg. We kill Cory and he reveals he was serving a remaining Old God that's hiding in the shadows. We end the immediate mage-templar conflict. The world becomes relatively calm again. The primary antagonist of this particular game is defeated. Done. That's closure and we still have free reign to wander post-ending.

 

ME3's ending was an issue because it was the last game in the trilogy. DA isn't a trilogy series so it's a whole different situation.

 

I see no scenario in which the game ends without some sort of future foreshadowing. Every single game in the DA and ME series has had it.

Well, if anyone knew how to open a Fade breach, it would be someone who's already done it, so he may not need long to plan out the mechanics of a Fade tear, and he had around three years to gather everything he needed to do execute things. I think that's enough time. And one could say that Corypheus has been planning to breach the Fade and claim the GC for over a thousand years. He attempted it when living, and when Hawke wakes up darkspawn Cory, he's determined to get back there again, "I seek the light." I don't think that planning means the villain has been actively plotting for almost a century or something, or that they've been manipulating Thedas into problems to keep what they're doing quiet. I think Corypheus fits the "planning" bill and the extent of his manipulation of or interference in big world problems will be contained to DAI.

[ElitePinecone]

 Every single game in the DA and ME series has had it.

 

Did Origins?

 

That seemed pretty clear-cut.

 

I don't doubt there'll be hooks included for future games, but I'd be extremely surprised if there was something like DA2's cliffhanger where it turns out the entire story was just a set-up to the real upcoming conflict in Inquisition. 

 

Many people intensely disliked that. It was even specifically included in reviews, and we know that BW looks at critics' views when doing their postmortems.
