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 it 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 to the GC for over a thousand years. He attempted it when living, and when Hawke wakes darkspawn Cory up, 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 quite. 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.

Technically he could have had up to 9 years, as you can begin Legacy as early as 9:31 Dragon.

That being said, I'd like to see maybe another ancient magister being behind this.

The thing is one thing Corypheus does recall when he wakes up and rants some, is he did reach the city and that it was meant to be golden and wasn't. So he really has no reason to try to reach that city again, while if he is a boss its not the last one I would think, and he could have given his knowledge about such things to someone else.

Just my two bits.

True. But I'd consider it "canon" so that the whole affair with Corypheus happens around the same time as the Act III or even after it. We have to remember, that while it's seems that this event happens during the certain Act gameplay wise, it's still Varric's story, and it's not necessarily chronological, as for the DLC part Cassandra asks him to tell her about a particular event. 

So why Act III/later?

I don't think that Hawke and company would be able to defeat the ancient Tevinter Magister of immense power before actually becoming the Champion.

"The city! It was supposed to be golden! It was supposed to be ours!"

 

Damn, this DLC was the best thing about DA2 and really gives me high hopes for an amazing game to be played in November.

The big bad final villain must be a dragon, Corrypheus involve in the story like a servant for this dragon.

 

My theory based on Legacy: Corrypheus is looking for his god: Dumat. Dumat is alive and why I tell that because the altar in Legacy worked. Corry used Bettany/ Carver/Stein/ any warden to kidnap Hawke because only his pure blood can seal him again. Tainted blood cannot work. Our alive warden with all wardens are pupets of the old magistair.

But, didn't we kill Corrypheus. So if he is dead why would we need to kill him a second time.

In Death, Sacrifice: Liberate the Wardens in Adamant

 

If this true then all of Thedas will have more reason to hate mages, even the wardens who provided their mage's with more freedom than the rest of Thedas. Furthermore, liberate is an odd word choice. That is, from the cinematic's one faction is fighting the Wardens, you don't usually fight that which you wish to liberate. Rather, you fight their captures... 

 

@Joe25 It was unclear whether Corry transferred its self into one of the Wardens, who depended on choice. Even if Corry died we know very little about it to draw that conclusion.

He body hopped to the grey warden with you.

[Joe25]

Are we really saying he is alive off of one creepy look. For all we know the wardens have more than just Cory locked up somewhere. I can't remember, but weren't there five to ten magisters of old. 

[Miltialdes]

Dumat promissed the power of gods or the archidemon jumps his soul  on the next tainted creature and there is some evidence that Corry applied the same process on Janeka or Larius.

So we're saying he is alive and is using the darkspawn hive mind to control the wardens. Well this is going to be fun to see play out if it is true. I still think this list is a fake and they were just name dropping him.  

[Jester]

I'm quite convinced, that Corypheus is alive - the game does everything to suggest that. The look on his face, Corypheus-like archaisms/manierism of speech in the surviving Warden and the fact, that somehow he can manipulate and use the taint are clues to his survival. 

 

There is one other thing that makes me curious. In the E3/post E3 trailer - the one with Magister Alexius fight. During the encounter, Alexius screams: "Victory is impossible - the Elder One will destroy us both". Is there some theory as to who "The Elder One" is? Corypheus  can certainly fullfill the requirement of being "The Elder". That guy is older than the First Blight, and is heavily connected to the Fade. 

[Heimdall]

I highly doubt Corypheus is the big bad. A major boss, yes, but not THE boss.

I wouldn't be suprised if Coryphues was involved with the Wardens, and by "liberate" the achievement means freeing their minds (probably from Blood Magic, and likely from Corypheus' control.) Who knows what type of mind control blood magic Corypheus has at his command, he is an ancient Tevinter Magister after all.

[Morroian]

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. 

 

It wasn't really a cliffhanger more just the starting point for that plot. The major conflicts within DA2 were resolved by the end.

More like they bursted out and flooded the world
Still, I doubt there will be a cliffhanger at the end of DAI since we can play after the main plot

They mean to liberate their heads from their wretched shoulders.

So has Bioware confirmed this to be real or fake?

[ghostzodd]

No. I doubt they ever will we will just have to wait until launch day

[Majestic Jazz]

No. I doubt they ever will we will just have to wait until launch day

 

If that is the case then.....it is dangerous to stay around here. I mean, if it were 100% fake, dont you think Bioware would be all over this?

 

The fact that they remain silent about this reveals that there could be some truth behind this list but they are just not really to officially confirm it as true.

[Dermain]

So has Bioware confirmed this to be real or fake?

 

If BioWare does comment people will take that as confirmation of the leaks being true, but if they don't comment people will still think the leaks are true.

 

Similarly,if BioWare releases new information about the game people whine, but if they don't release new infomration people whine.

 

BioWare is unfortunately stuck in a perpetual no win situation.

 Flawed logic.

 

If this is indeed fake, then the Bioware would have confirmed it as such and the fanbase would appreciate it. However, since they have not done so reveals that this could infact be the list.

 

good thing I have yet to read the list.

[SomeoneStoleMyName]

It makes me uneasy that Bioware hasnt officially replied to this. By not telling us this list is fake, arent they confirming it is not fake? >.<

Edit: Nm I see people already pointed this out.

How so?

 

In one of the threads about multiplayer someone pointed out that Allan had been posting in it. Someone then pointed out that since he was posting in the thread he was "validating" the presence of multiplayer, but then someone else pointed out that him posting does not validate multiplayer being present.

 

Allan then responded with this.

 

My lack of contributions would still be taken as official proof and validation 

 

Either way, even if BioWare were to say the list is fake people would call them liars until the game released and the list was proven to either be fake/true.

Considering they tend to call things that are true leak fakes...most probably.

That isn't necessarily true, back in December there was a website that a lot of people thought was a promotional Fallout 4 website (it had the vault tech logo and a countdown timer on it), Bethesda remained silent on it. Eventually the timer ran out and it ended up being false. Sometimes companies don't comment on things simply because it is their policy to not comment on rumors/leaks/speculation. I believe that is the case here.
