After I did the War Table quest involving the Warden, the game made it pretty clear he/she is not returning to the universe in pixelated form.

Kind of sad, but the Warden's story is pretty much done if there's an option of being dead in the main game that they were PC of. I doubt Dragon Age is going through another Blight any time soon. I mean that was pretty explored in the first game. I want to see the next big, amazing but not so far-fetched crisis in the universe.

Plus with the foreshadowing from Inquisition, I don't think the next one is going to be specifically about the Blight.

Spoilers about the Warden (and the Order in the epilogue) below - wouldn't read this if you haven't finished the game or done that war table op.

Spoiler

Well, given that my Warden seems pretty intent on researching and finding a cure for herself and her hubby, King Alistair, you never know (she said it in her letter). That being said, I don't even remotely expect another Blight to come up anytime soon, and I certainly don't expect the Wardens to pop up in a starring role in any future game, especially not after DA:I's ending which clearly points at us eventually dealing with something much, much bigger than a Blight (unless part of what happens next accidentally triggers an early Blight...but I really doubt they would do that when there are bigger fish to fry).

At any rate, you never know - maybe they could do a story DLC or something small vis-vis the cure; after all, BW has mentioned doing smaller DLC, rather than major expansion packs. Frankly, my Warden probably ought to have looked up Fiona (who somehow managed to somehow be cured of the Taint and who is currently sitting in my Inquisitor's library) and/or checked up on Avernus who, last I recall, should have been busy researching his butt off. I do believe that the Wardens may be dealing with another crisis, which I'm saying because of the epilogue. It seemed to indicate that something weird is going on at Weisshaupt. At least, when it said that all communication from Weisshaupt had just stopped and that no one had heard from Hawke who was supposed to have been on her way to Weisshaupt...it seemed pretty strange

 Yeah I finished the quest (and the wait time of 19 hrs.... argh).  

Spoiler

I did not expect my Warden to go research how to end the Calling as a priority unless the effects of Corypheus was felt before she went off to do this. I don't think Alistair mentioned when she actually left? So that came out of left field, but hey Bioware needed an excuse to let the Warden go and if they decided to use that to let her get off the hook from the whole Adamant Fortress mess, why not?

 

Also that means how to end the Calling (perhaps the Blight itself) is open for grabs in the next installment. And with mentions of Black City and Elven Gods locking stuff away, I think it has potential. It could be they didn't want to make anyone angry by killing the Warden.

Well, I don't think it's out of left field because the Warden disappears at approximately the ssme time as Hawke does around DA2. As the HoF points out in the letter, she knows even less about Corypheus and Warden lore in general than other Wardens do because of the unusual circumstances of her entry into the Order during the Blight. She's pretty much never been taught anything in terms of their history, and didn't know anything about Corypheus. There are/were very few Wardens who even knew about Corypheus in the first place.

Now me being me, I would jump at the chance to research a way to stop the Calling - not only because my Warden is technically the Queen of Ferelden and would prefer not having her hubby die, but because it would result in saving an awful lot of Wardens' lives if it works out. Really, I feel that even with what happened in DA:I, they deserve better than having heir lives end like that for their past service and for saving the world a bunch of times.

As for King Alistair himself, I only saw him at Redcliffe after siding with the mages. He was a bit angry/disappointed with Fiona and whatnot - don't believe there's an opportunity to chat with him about much. As far as this whole Warden thing goes, yeah, I think they mainly just wanted to give closure with the Warden. I am totally fine with that because I was never one of those people clamoring for her to be the protagonist in every DA game - lol.

What we got with the letter, etc. was more than I expected, actually. I do think this at least leaves some wiggle room if BW ever decides to toss a bone to people with living Wardens. In any case, I believe the future focus is going to be on what Solas/Fen'Harel is trying to do, which probably does involve the elven magisters and/or the Black City and/or some attempt to rejoin the physical world and the Fade, all of which I find particularky interesting. But at the same time, it's not like I'd say no if BW threw DLC at me that involved any past or present heroes.

 Ah, the glory of trying to think at 3 am in the morning. ;p 

 

Spoiler

Yeah, I forgot about how the HoF left around the same time as Hawke, and did not think about the circumstance surrounding her. I did not make Alistair King and had him show up in Adamant Fortress instead. Warden Alistair did say the two had a "discussion" so I mean I wasn't totally not buying into the idea that my Warden would look for a cure. They wanted to be together forever so hey why not. If the Archdemon showed them anything is that the Blight is an awful, awful thing and if there's a chance to get rid of it, they should at least try. 

 

The ambiguous ending with the Wardens at the epilogue makes me antsy though. Wonder what will happen among the Warden ranks. It sounds like there will be dissent or rebellion. 

 

I kind of like the idea that my Warden goes off into another adventure into the unknown West because I like to think being curious/adventurous as part of her personality. I seriously thought that my Warden was going to go off into her Calling at this point, so I'm glad to hear that she's alive, lol.

Hence, why Bioware should do a DLC involving the grey wardens with The Warden (Hero of Ferelden) and whoever he/she romanced making an appearance, (unless your Warden is dead of course).

 

Spoiler

Given that Solas was the one who gave the orb to Corypheus (The Elder One) and helped cause the entire crisis that happened in Inquisition along with most of the Wardens hearing "The Calling",  I would have no doubt that somehow Solas/Fen'Harel is behind or is at least contributing to whatever was or is still happening at Weisshaupt.

 

On top of that, the epilogue never mentioned anything about "The Calling", which was mentioned a lot in DA:I. So assuming that it is still going on, there could be a major DLC involving that "The Calling" and Weisshaupt. Perhaps they are connected somehow?

[KCMeredith]

Bioware will actually work on something involving the Calling and the Hero of Ferelden, its nothing like anyone imagined and is declared worse than DA2. 100%

Worse than DA2? I don't even think that is even possible. Nothing can get worse than DA2, let alone by 100%. lol

 

Hopefully Bioware will work on a major DLC involving the Calling with The Warden (Hero of Ferelden) and whoever he/she romanced along with Fiona (depending on choices via Keep, etc) a few of the Warden Commanders making an appearance as I have said before. 

[herkles]

where do you find the warden's letter btw? I already did the mission.

[KCMeredith]

Its in the codex, just called "Letter from the Hero of Ferelden"

[massmp]

Well, Mark Darrah already said this at Edmonton Expo.: "Warden? We are not bringing back the Warden for DA:I....sort of". That does not mean he will not come back at all. They might still have plans for him....so, I´m not giving up the possibility of a Warden/Hero of Ferelden DLC. David Gaider also confirmed that they considered to bring the Warden back for DA:I, where you could customize his/her appearance......But chose not to....

 

There might be still hope, that they are saving him for a DLC.

 

Bioware, please make this happen. We need our Warden back.....please.

[Roadshark13]

I wanted the warden to show up as a secret boss or something. Such as if the inquisitor went into the black city and found the warden there taken over by the taint. That way the warden wouldn't need a voice, and it would be an epic showdown without making the plot too complex (since its just a boss, no quest or anything that impacts the rest of the game). 

[Rae0001]

I for one really like the idea of a dlc about the calling and finding a way to combat it with the warden and li included. If done right I think it would be epic ^^

[CreepingShadow]

I would without a doubt pay for a Warden dlc. (and no I'm not one of these people who think the Warden should be the focus of the franchise ala Shepard.) With all of the things going on with the Wardens in Inquisition it's the perfect time to bring the Warden back. Also unless the Warden romanced Morrigan or got the U.S ending their was very little closure, a Warden expansion could change that.

[TheKomandorShepard]

I hope they will not destroy our characters more they already pushed onto wardens own personality traits and motives in dai that are completly unfitting for some of my wardens. 

[rak72]

Damn. I guess romancing Alistair means nobody tells me what happens to my warden, That's actually a bit disappointing.

There is a mission on the war table to find out the warden's whereabouts

[Obadiah]

I hope they create a DLC with a silent Warden protagonist. Probably won't happen... maybe a DLC for DA:O? The toolset is still there after all.

I thought the opposite, The Calling seems like quite a big deal and maybe a DLC was coming. I mean it would have been much easier to kill off the Warden. There are ways to get around the complications of bringing him/her back like keeping them silent, choosing a 'personality' if you did have them speak and recording several voice actors.

 

Hard but not impossible. Not everyone would be satisfied, and if your Warden died then substitute him like they did if Loghain was not a Warden and Alistair was king = Stroud.

[Kel Eligor]

I'd honestly rather not the Warden come back, because anyone and everyone who played Origins will not recognize their Warden in a modernized game where they would have to act and speak as per the improved narrative presentation of Bioware games. Personally I would love it, but I know a large group of Warden fans will not be able to look passed the inconsistencies and instead bring their pitchforks to Bioware as is the custom these days. I swear the people who are vying for a Warden return will be the first ones to complain and nitpick about everything if it ever actually happens.

 

Just look at the whole debacle over "But my Hawke was a bloodmage! Why is he badmouthing blood mages?!?! GG Bioware, **** writing." 

 

I can't even fathom what would happen. "But my Warden was a blood mage/arcane warrior/battle mage and he's wearing a robe and attacking with a staff!!! WTF Bioware!"

[rpgfan321]

I saw Hawke as their experiment in using who was once a PC into a NPC. I don't know if it went well, but it got the job done in terms of moving the story along. I guess using the Warden was their means to say the Grey Wardens are not out of the picture yet, and something something with the Calling.

Regarding about whether your character is a blood Mage or not, didn't bioware say about adding more things in Keep? They could add those options too unless I heard wrong about them adding more choices in Keep.

[MKfighter89]

It wouldn't be hard to do the warden, just use the creator minus qunari. Some people may complain I can't make my warden look right, but that's new engines. I really thought they would have a glimpse since they used a creator for Hawke, but DLC for the warden or even a 5-10 hour expansion featuring them I think would sell great. Many people still talk about the warden and their story, I just can't see Bioware much less EA passing up a money chance like this.

God I hope so too!! It would be one of the greatest things Bioware could do on regards to a Dragon Age DLC!!

I completely agree with this! Even my Warden romanced Morrigan, which hopefully she along with our son Kieran would return in the DLC as well. The same thing could apply for any other character your Warden romanced as well.

Amen!

I honestly wish there was a DLC including my Warden, and I wish that she could finally unite with Alistair. The scene in which he talks about her is so adorable, lovely and heartwarming that it has to be done. Leliana speaks about the Warden in the same way, so... I just can't imagine the two being separated for so long. I've done everything to keep them together, and if Bioware destroys my efforts, then... bye bye DA.

Late replying to this, but I hope for the same thing! A DLC that would have The Warden make an appearance (depending on choices) and the character he or she romanced making an appearance in it as well would be great!  

[errantknight]

I'm not sure if that is possible for character in the story to achieve. lol. But I get what you are saying. Maybe both the Warden and Hawke's stories aren't yet done and I do hope that Bioware does something along the lines of a DLC that involves all three of them, The Inquisitor, Hawke and the Warden! 

This would be doable as long as people realized that the three could never meet in game as you wouldn't be able to be player for more than one at once without it getting odd. But if the story was one that was conducive to each being in a different part of the world and working on a separate task, I see know reason why it couldn't happen. The warden already has a stand in for the times when they made the sacrifice and the same thing could work for any other unavailable former player character. Of course, they'd have to have a very particular story to tell for this to work.
