Yeah, I'm really not convinced the character appearing in a lot of spoilers is the big bad. But if it turns out to be true, I've gotta say I'll be disappointed.

 

Funny thing is, I've seen/read pretty much all the spoilers so far, and I still don't feel spoiled. Probably because it's all been fairly predictable.

 

I think this is also true because all spoilers have basically been somewhat vague generalities. We don't know intimate details and story specifics.

[Chari]

So the leaked achivement list was partly true, but some achivements seem to be new, some missing

Excellent

[Tootles FTW]

I didn't find any of these particularly spoilerish (thankfully!).  Not like the "Dark Ritual/Ultimate Sacrifice" achievements of DAO, for example, which spoiled the possible endings.

 

Makes me sad that they included difficulty achievements, though, as I have no plans to play on anything beyond Normal & it'll break my streak of 100%-ing DA games.  I don't mind playing through a boss fight or two on Hard/Nightmare, but the entire game?  Nope.

 

As for the Big Bad...

Spoiler

I wouldn't be disappointed at all if its Corypheus.  He leads a direct thread to the ancient magisters and the "Golden City"...which is a plotline I would personally find interesting as all hell to explore.

The icon in the lower right of the Doom Upon All the World screenshot is Corypheus' face. Corypheus is the Elder One.

So... I saw the big reveal in the spoilers and all I can think about his this song... God help me.

"Here Lies the Abyss" looks so gross! 

 

Reminds me of this:

[Cheylus]

Spoiler

So Corypheus is the Elder One. Great, more mages causing havoc to the world apparently, and Anders being wrong again.

- the Dragon is basically Corypheus in dragon form (same rocky stuff under its/his skin)

- the silhouette we saw in the Hero trailer has the same shape than Corypheus (we can see a little buckle on his shoulderpad), and Corypheus is seen having red glowy eyes in those pictures

 

And Hawke did something great again...

Im honestly rather disappointed by this, i expected something a bit more epic in scale for the main antagonist.

Well from looking at the picture closely, I'm more inclined to think Corypheus is the Big Bad. Comparing the picture from the Doom Upon All The World achievement and the Herald one, you can tell it's the same dragon and location in both. 

 

Keeping that in mind, if you look closely at the dragon in said picture, you can see the same metallic shards coming out of it's face in almost the same(if not the same) location that Corypheus has, leading me to believe that he can turn into a dragon.

 

Also the fact that the bottom right of all the pictures have the achievement icon, and Doom Upon All The World's is an Icon of what looks to be Corypheus' face.

 

[virtus753]

Possible Merrill's scarf is the wrong color. I don't think that's her.

 

I'm not sure that's Merrill either, given the (possible) issues with the scarf and chainmail. I was referring to the fact that the figure in the Merrill-ish clothing is clearly female. At least the chest is. (I mean, there was that interesting issue with some of the female inquisitors in the images on BioWare's website having a distinct bulge in a certain area, so I suppose anything is possible...)

 

We might not found out who the woman is until launch, which is perfectly fine with me -- in the meantime, I'll enjoy the speculation!

Spoiler

When I first saw the "Beloved and Precious" image I thought it was Bethany and Fenris, which was pretty weird.

 

Anyway, fairly standard achievement list, was hoping for a couple funny ones, like "Frolicking: Jump 100 times as an elf", but I'll be trying to get all the power achievements first playthrough.

[virtus753]

"Frolicking: Jump 100 times as an elf"

 

Any chance of that being a secret one?

[wcholcombe]

We have heard him speak though and he doesn't sound anything like the elder one in the trailers.

 

also

 

Spoiler

from the war table spoiler in the world map video, we appear to go after corypheus early on with the wardens.Sorry I just don't buy that being the bad guy. Plus, C is revealed in another achievement in your heart shall burn, that is definitely C. 

[rda]

I also like how there doesn't seem to be any achievements that REQUIRE different choices across multiple playthru's. Like the siding with Mage/siding with Templar achievements in DA2. PITA.

[Tootles FTW]

Well, perhaps

Spoiler

Dumat simply assumes the form of Corypheus since his dragon body was destroyed by the Grey Wardens all those years ago?  Maybe he tries to possess a dragon over the course of the game (perhaps explaining the dragon versus dragon clip we saw)?  

Just spitballing into the wind here.

Spoiler

I'm thinking something like this as well. I feel like there must be something more than just "Corypheus decided to blow up the Veil and now has all these crazy people worshiping him and calling him the Elder One". I mean he's a great villain, but personally I just don't see him as a main villain in a story of this scale.

[Sosipaasnar]

Spoiler

Seems like the Dragon is Corypheus...

 

 

When you look at the bottom-right corner you clearly see Corypheus.

But Maybe he is an enemy of corypheus and the symbole just stands for a "win" for Corypheus.

Spoiler

This image seems to highlight the above theory...that Corypheus is containing the soul of Dumat, and is trying to transform into or reclaim a dragon body?  At least, I think that would be a cool story.  

Regardless I'm happy to have Corypheus back as I found him interesting; whether he leads to a bigger Bad or not I'm more than satisfied with what I've gleaned thus far.

[coelacyanth]

Spoiler

well so its pretty much Corypheus then. I mean the highest point (100g) worth achievement "Doom upon all the world" has his face as the icon. The next highest point worth achievement (90g) "Inquisitor" which is for playing and completing the game in nightmare has his close up screenshot.

 

"You are a mistake! you should never have existed!" Wonder if its one of the NPC yelling at Hawke!

Your spoiler tag is incomplete, Coel.

Edit: Better. :3

I dont think that Corypheus is containing the soul of Dumat.

I just think he now after years even more powerful then in the Legacy DLC.

Hes an old magister of tevinter, the Vanatori, call him the elder one.. Thats my theory^^

[Hellion Rex]

Spoiler

Corypheus isn't the elder one, nor is he serving the elder one, he isn't the big bad.

Spoiler

Yes he is. He's in the artbook, which depicts him as the final boss.

[Patchwork]

Spoiler

I don't want the Corypheus theory to be true because it makes Hawke even more of a screw up.

 

Those three (the Not!Merrill pic) might have something to do with our specialisations.

[Applepie_Svk]

Spoiler

I don´t think that he is dissapointing choice, if he will appear as the elder one. Corrypheus had not enough time back in Legacy to develop his character nor the backstory or anything, I find him as a fine choice if it wil be done properly. But I did find it as a possibile or atleast connected to DA:I, because in the DA timeline on website was mentioned Corrypheus prison, which I´ve found strange at that time when it was just a DLC.
