Well, I find Corypheus being the big bad of the game kind of underwhelming but I can say at least he is aiming big on his goals.

[NotBeouwulf]

If this was all a master plan and he was able to interact with the fade, why is he so out of it when he wakes up? And why would he let Hawke win if he could just kill Hawke so as to make sure there are no witnesses.

 

Temporary confusion while transferring concousiousness to his body.

 

And he wanted someone to witness his "death" so he let Hawke win.

Is there a problem with Corypheus being the villain for people other than the fact they already saw him in Legacy?  I mean, if that DLC didn't exist, would people be disappointed that one of the Tevinter Magisters who entered the Golden City is the villain in Inquisition?

 

Because I think it's a lore goldmine.

 

When you put it like that it doesn't sound nearly as bad. I guess I'm more upset at the fact it isn't someone new, rather than who it is. 

[jaymdubbs]

It seems the video that was posted pretty much confirms this.  

 

 

I may be in the minority, but this fires me up (in a good way)  - and makes me even more excited to play through.  

 

I'm even more stoked than I was before  - even with  that video being full of spoilers

LORE YAY!!!!!!!!

I like Cory. He was, for me at least, one if the most interesting villains in the series

[elrofrost]

I guess it doesn't really matter. it's not the villain that makes these games. It's everything else. I'm wondering who is gonna die. In ME2/3 there were moments where I just had to pause the game. I'm hoping this is the same.

[Al Foley]

I think I would have preffered him being the lieutenant of the Elder One rather then the Elder One.  But on the other hand I really can't say that I am surprised.  And looking at it, and looking at him in action...and well what he was doing with that...erm...Dragon.  Makes me a lot more keen on the idea if they are going where I think they are going with it and I think I know where they are going more then I did before so we'll see.

Fair point. I mean, the archdemon is about as generic a big bad as you could possibly get, yet I loved Origins immensely anyway.

I...er, a guy named Nyeredzi has been saying this since DAI was announced.

I didn't think the big bad would be Corypheus, but I did speculate he would have something to do with the story (before I knew about it) because the voice over of the Elder One sounded like Cory.  (They are the same actor, a dead give away if you have the right ear for tonal quality and nuance of speech).  And some posters thought I was making it up!  I still think a certain Old God would have been a more interesting villain but I'll take an original Magister.

I mean it all really does make sense though. People refer to him as the "Elder One" the first magister to enter the already tainted black city, becoming the first darkspawn, decades upon decades before the 5th blight. I don't see how you can be more of an "Elder One" than that.

 

Also I think I have a good understanding of Corypheus's plan. He was promised control of the Golden city, the seat of the maker, by Dumat. But he was betrayed and found the city already black, and his presence within the black city is what turned him into the 1st darkspawn, not the maker's wrath. So to make up for this, Corypheus intends to gather enough power that he becomes so unrivaled in strength he becomes Thedas's new maker. Since he's seen the black city, only he would truly know if the maker is real, and he claims there is no maker, as we've seen from the "Enemy Of Thedas Trailer," I'm gonna guess his rise to full power will have something to do with the Inquisitor's mark (the closey rift thing), besides that I don't know. Still very curious about how this will impact whether there is or isn't a maker in Dragon Age.

Really?? To me they sound entirely different, one of the only complaints I have.  

[rigron]

It's not the OGB.  OGB is not canon.  Warden may have told Morrigan to 'take a hike' and, in fact, 2 of my 5 world states don't have the OGB.  They would hardly base an entire game around battling a NPC who may not even exist.  I'd entertain Cory, but I suspect he's not the big bad, just a servant of the Elder One.  Bioware has said the Elder One has "been planning this for a long time".  A decade isn't "a long time" in the overall scheme of things.

 

Lelianna being alive is not cannon too, you can kill her on DA: Origins (with some decisions you are actually FORCED to kill her) and the Keep even specifically state the option of Leliana being dead. Guess what? They not only had her appearing on DA: 2, but they also have based an entire game around her presence as a very importan character and one of the 3 councerlors, why wouldn´t they do the same for OGB? Killing Flemmenth on DA Origins was an optional quest too and guess what? She still survives no matter what you did thanks to the ritual Hawke performs on one of the main quest in DA 2. It is a matter of being creative with the approach to the OGB.

 

I think OGB should (because he is very interesting) and will be a cannon character, the difference being if The Warden, Alistair or Loghain are his fathers or not depending on your choices, and to a lesser extend, if he has the soul of Urthemiel or if the Old God soul he has belongs to another Old God/Archdemon, they can make up any justification for this considering that, as far as I understand, Cory stills hear the voice of Dumat even with that Old God being killed on the First Blight

[Taleroth]

Gaider, in particular, confirmed that the OGB only exists if the ritual was done.

Though that was old and maybe even before they decided if it would appear in the game at all.

OGB being canon would ****** on players who did the US. Your examples are not the same magnitude as the OGB is.

[TruffleMeister]

So it looks like we know why Hawke gets involved with the Inquisition. It would make sense the one who killed him the 1st time would have some pointers. [Kinda spoilery for the 1st time you see Hawke]

Hawke Unlocked the seals. No one has any clue how long the seal would have lasted.

Unlocked the seal and "killed" the prisoner.
