It's like Revan all over again....people ask, demand a return of their self-insert character....and then scream in horror when the story they wanted is not the one Bioware chooses to tell.

Employ pattern recognition people.

Tiny bit different. Revan was a tiny detail in an already vast and complicated canon that they decided to set in stone in appearance AND gender.

The Warden won't face the same thing because it's just Bioware. And they have thus far allowed players interpretations (in appearance and gender) to go noticed. Can't speak for the voice but honestly that's just a minor thing.

Could you please make a DLC about Hero of Ferelden ? I'm sooo disappoint that we can  meet Hawke and even play with him  during few missions, but HOF just desappeared when he/she's needed... That's so lame and unfair...

I don't like Hawke and had to deal with him, but HOF is a real character to me. I searched and hoped to see my warden during all the game and nothing happend.... Some letters isn't enough...

Resurrect the HoF for the second time from the grave after Awakening, so at least we can start to call him/her the chosen one by the Maker.

No business company can make DLC based on non mandatory character, they have simply   found an elegant way to remove the  Warden from DAI.

[Vilegrim]

chances of any DLC ruining the Warden are close to 100%..so let's not ask for that ok?

[Jones7602]

After 6 years people are still crying "I want my Warden back". Can't believe it... Please start facing the truth, Bioware will never ever return the Warden maybe apart from a short cameo. And it's only logical. His story is over. Period. From a story point of view the only thing worth exploring is what was happening beyond the eluvian. But even if Bioware would do this, based on different technologies, no import possibilities and not everybody keeping 6 year old save games, instead of being happy the same people would start wailing "doesn't look like my Warden... walks different... why does he have a voice... me no like voice... my Warden would have said something completely different here... why can't I simply destroy everything"...

 

Sorry for ranting, just can't stand this stuff any more.

They're clearly trying to step away from the Hero of Ferelden, maybe it's time we let them. I mean, nomatter how they do it the headcanon people wont be happy anyway. There's already people who are talking about how wrong Hawke is, but it'll be exponentially worse with the Warden due to how many sheer possibilities there are for him/her.

 

I suppose they could make a direct sequel that uses your Origin save. DA:O2 "The Calling"?

 

After seeing what they did in DAI with Hawke, I fail to see how they cannot give the same treatment to the Warden.

 

Hawke role in the warden story arc made sense. His behaviour was coherent with past experiences and we got a difficult choice do make in the end of HLTA.

 

A DLC where we journey with the HoF in order to find a way to cure the calling makes sense IMO. Sure they are more variables to take in account thant just romance + personnality trait. However you have to remember that no matter what we've done during the 5th blight, 10 years have passed since then. And the HoF is now a warden first and foremost.

[HowlingSiren]

I think the reason why so many of us are attached to the Warden is precisely the reason BioWare could not bring him/her back.

 

As a voiceless protagonist with no set tone and no auto-dialogue, the Warden is a blank slate. There are in effect 6 Hawkes and 6 Shepherds to manage (human male/female x diplomatic, humorous, assertive). There are thousands of Wardens. Between the origins, the non-transferable specializations and more importantly the personal role-playing each one of us did with their Warden, the personality we individually projected into that blank slate, bringing him/her back as a playable character would be one giant booby-trap waiting to explode in BioWare's face. We as players gave the Warden personality - not BioWare per se. As such, I can't see how there is any "one size fits all" way to bring him/her back in a way that would satisfy the fans.  

 

I mean, people complain that Hawke in DAI looks nothing like Hawke in DA2 despite the fact it's a brand new engine. And that's just superficial. Can you imagine the outrage if BioWare "messed" with the Warden in a way that doesn't fit with someone's headcannon?

 

I love my Wardens, I really do. But as a playable character, BioWare gave me a lot of time with them, between DAO, the expansion and the DLC. I can let it go. I would definitely prefer knowing what happened to him/her and him/her not be forgotten, but I don't need to be in direct control anymore.

This makes things worse....the Warden from DA:O was a blank slate people filled as they saw fit. No voice, no personality, no backstory beyond what each and every player choose. To attempt to get that right would take far more resources than is justified for a DLC...and even then they'd still likely annoy a good portion of the warden loving fans. Heck, I recall people being upset the HoF was forced to join the Wardens after one of the candidates was murdered. If we can't get consensus on that from the fanbase what makes you think a DLC will please us all?

 

What about Oghren? I know he isn't a voiceless protagonist with no set tone and no auto-dialogue. I still want him back. he's easy to mesh out then your Warden.

 

If there's a reason to bring Oghren back, I'm sure they will, but Bioware shouldn't bring any character back if there's no place for them in the story.

[New Kid]

I'd rather a Hawke DLC! *Flees*

[Dieb]

As a real character, I am offended.

 

"This isn't my Warden! He/she/it would never be nice; he/she/it likes killing Nugs with bloodmagic infused by even cuter Nug babies. Hell, my hero only even saved the world because the Arch Demon was unwelcome competition! Also why isn't my romance with *****, ***** and ***** (wednesdays only) acknowledged? His/her/its voice sounded like a hazelnut dropping onto a raspy wooden plank in a cool midsummer's night, and not ridiculous like a leather harness brushing over a rough metal surface with the slow yet decisive grace of a stalking panther! RP = dead."

 

*clears throat*

[Little Princess Peach]

I like the idea but the warden has to many problems, he/she has the most choices backgrounds and other things to account and bioware is to lazy can't afford to impliment all that so just be thankful we got the letter

[Nohvarr]

Of course there's a reason for Oghren to be back, what's the point of having the Keep if those choices are not fully addressed?

They can be mentioned in passing but that's not justification to bring the character back and jam them into the story where they may not belong.

[Il Divo]

This. Not to mention, the Keep isn't a guarantee that every choice involved must be addressed. It could easily be a method for developers to keep track of certain decisions which they might want to use down the line, but being in the Keep is no guarantee that said decision will come back in a major way. 

[PlasmaCheese]

I wouldn't want DLC, just a role like Hawke had in DAI. I've kinda let it go now, though. I held out hope for 2 years that the Warden would appear. Lol, then the friggin' trailer where Hawke shows up with A WARDEN. Tsk. Broke my heart.

 

I'm still mad that wasn't THE WARDEN. Marketing knew what they were doing!     

[Vader20]

No more Warden... please ! The character is done. We finished it's story in DAO by sacrificing him or by him surviving the battle and than vanishing.... It's done. Why would we want this character back ? Not to mention that what happens with those who chose to sacrifice him ?

 

I think that we should move on from the Warden. A Hawke DLC ? It would be interesting, but the main focus should be on the continuation of the story because I"m sure that everyone is dying to find out what happens with Solas.

The thing is, if Hawke and the Warden were in the fade, I'd left behind the Inquisitor.

[RVallant]

So what about The Warden for people who ended up killing him off at the end of DA:O? hmm?

Have fun with a stinky Orlesian!

[God]

Hah imagine if Hawke was the Inquisitor and had to decide between the HOF and someone else. The forum would've been hilarious.

 

I still want to make a Hawke/Inquisitor romance.

[Nohvarr]

I call bullsh!t on that cause seeing as Oghren was tossed out with no mention of his whereabouts in DA2 and DA3.

...and why should he have been mentioned in either game? What relevancy did he have to events?

[RinuCZ]

Most likely, I wouldn't buy HoF DLC. The staff would spend the significant portion of time trying to cover at least a majority of possible variations of that character -> weak. And you know DA:O fans would be angry anyway because it wouldn't be the exact version of their Warden.

Plus, there is probably not a small number of people who wanted to be Ferelden's Jesus and their HoF ceased to be.

[Frocharocha]

He can't talk.... We should receive a DLC where The Hero of ferelden is heavily mentioned if he lives, but we should focus on finding out who the hell Solas really is.
