If Bioware were to release a Canon Outline for Dragon Age, how do you feel it would be?

As the topic suggests, this was something Bioware did with KOTOR in which it became Canon that Revan was a male, choosing the Redeemed Path and the Jedi Exile a female.

 

Now I know it's highly unlikely Bioware will ever do it for Dragon age, but supposing they did...What do you think would be the Canon?

 

Here's how I feel it would go:

 

Dragon Age: Origins: Human Noble Male, Sided with the Mages in the Circle Tower, walked the Lawful Good Path, Had Alistair and Anora placed on the Throne after Executing Loghain, Despite this, the revelation that Killing the Archdemon meant death, had Alistair do the Dark Ritual with Morrigan, Romanced Leliana. Warrior Archetype.

 

Dragon Age II: Male Hawke, Mage Origin, Sided with the Mage Rebellion, killed the Arshishok and the Knight Commander, Kept the Eluvian in tact. Chaotic Neutral/ Sarcastic, no LI.

 

Dragon Age Inquisition: Female Mage Levellan (Elf) Sided with the Mages, slowly begins to believe in the Maker but is skeptical at first, Divine Victoria is Cassandra, Romanced Solas and was heart broken when his true nature was uncovered, Kept The Empress alive and reconciled her with Brialla, executed Gaspard. Banished the Wardens for their safety, took Solas' advice and didn't drink from the Well, Morrigan did drink from the well, Cole became more Human. Lawful Neutral.

 

Why do I feel it would go that way?

 

On Multiple play throughs of DAO, DAII and a couple of play throughs done so far with DAI these seem to be the options that hold the most polished/completed content and the richest experience.

 

So Now it's your turn!

There is a default though, it's in the Keep.

The Default world state is extremely basic and doesn't cover in depth choices what a Canon would have to

It skips over some sidequests. Every plot point is addressed however.

Yeah Bioware has changed their default world state twice.  At first it for DA:O was a male human noble who placed Alistair on the throne and performed the dark ritual with Morrigan.  Now, it's a female Dalish who sacrificed herself to kill the archdemon.  No telling what it would be if Bioware actually makes a canon for a future game.  Heck they've retconned so much they could come up with a third default/canon.

They've never had a canon nor committed to one, at least for the games. For the novels there is a novel based canon that all their books seem to follow but that isn't the same for the games.

 

As for what OP's asking, I would more or less agree with that canon if they had to pick something.

Dragon Age: Origins: Human Noble Male/ Dalish Elf, Sided with the Mages in the Circle Tower, walked the Neutral Good Path, Had Alistair and Anora placed on the Throne after Executing Loghain, Despite this, the revelation that Killing the Archdemon meant death, did the Dark Ritual with Morrigan, Romanced Leliana. Rouge Archetype.

 

Dragon Age II: Male Hawke, Mage Origin, Sided with the Mage Rebellion, killed the Arishok and the Knight Commander, Kept the Eluvian in tact.  True Neutral / Sarcastic, Merrill or Anders as LI. Anders died.

 

Dragon Age Inquisition: Haven't experienced the game fully to give a 'canon'  interpretation, but I think the story has a lot more impact if the Inquisitor is Dalish/Tal-Vashoth. So, yeah, for me, female Dalish elf mage, romancing Solas / Male Qunari Warrior/Templar, romancing Cassandra, allies with mages, lets Morrigan drink from the Well, executes Gaspard, allies Briala with Celene, Leliana as Divine. Chaotic Good.

 

My canon playthrough is very similar to this and I personally think having a Leliana romanced Warden do the Dark Ritual with Morrgian has the most emotional impact, especially if said Warden was good friends with Morrigan.

they have already did the same in the DA series, look at inquisition, the ending is the same and the game is not influenced by any important DAO  DA2 choice, no matter what you have decided to do in DAO the difference between the world state are minimal and in the end the scenario become always the same.

I honestly think it would be rather boring if the hero was human and male in every game.

I personally go:

 

DAO - Male Human / Dalish Rouge

DA2 - Female Hawke, Blood Mage

DAI - Male Tal-Vashoth Warrior, Templar

I do (I'm a guy and started as one.. but over time, Ladyhawke became my preference).

I prefer the Warden as a woman, (I actually think I've only done one male Warden playthrough...) but I don't really have a hell of a lot of preference when it comes to Hawke, honestly.

I thought Hawke worked best as a mage. Gender-wise I had no preference.

 

And I think pretty much anything worked in Origins.

 

Perhaps it's because Inquisition just came out and I need to back up a bit to get some perspective, but I love the female dalish mage version of the story. I didn't think it would work nearly as well as it does. I thought that the themes of faith and questioning your faith that Inquisition pushes would only really apply to the maker and andraste, but it surprised me how neatly those themes work for an elf, perhaps even better than they do for a human. Then there's the added theme of trying to reclaim the past vs working to create a better future, or trying to accomplish both, which worked so incredibly well with a dalish female mage who romances solas.

No idea, except that I 100% guarantee that Leliana would survive any beheadings.

Warden: Human_Male_Mage_Light Side (hehehe kotor...) --- Arcane Warrior/Spirit Healer

Kind and selfless, only killed if no other option, disliked evil and pettiness, placed Alistair and Anora on the throne after executing Loghain, destroyed the anvil, saved Redcliff, romanced Morrigan ("opposites attract" in effect) and performed ritual with Morrigan

 

Hawke: Male_Mage_Diplomatic/Helpful --- Force Mage/Spirit Healer

Romanced Tallis, 100% Friendship with Aveline, Varric, Sebastian, and Fenris.  At least 50% Friendship with Merrill, Anders, Isabella, since I didn't agree with everything they did.  Rivalry with Carver because no matter what I did, he didn't like it very much, but at least we reconciled in the end.  Sided with mages.

 

Inquisitor: Human_Male_Mage_Faithful --- Knight Enchanter

 

hmm... it appears that all my characters are human, male, and mages.

Coincidence?  I think not!

That's just who I like to play as.  Also, the Hawke/Warden relation if both are mages appealed to me story-wise, it felt more like a legacy.

 

My backup in case I don't play as mage is as a warrior.

 

Warden: Templar/Champion

Hawke: Templar/Berserker

Inquisitor: Templar

 

Again, the pattern.  Put simply, I like playing as Magic Knights.

Meh, my canon is in my head.  I respect their story, but ultimately it's my view of it that matters.  For example, I experience Dragon Age via the games only, no books.  As far as I am personally concerned, anything that happened in the books didn't happen unless it is directly referenced in the games.

I agree with your first two, but I would imagine that it would be an HN who romanced morrigan, did the DR, killed the archdemon and went through the mirror.

 

I've got no real opinion on the quiz, other than that "canon" would probably work best with a human mage or an elf mage.

Do not want.

"Richest experience" is pretty darn subjective.

The Warden can be bloody anything really.

Hawke would definitely be a male mage.

The Inquisitor would likely be a male knight enchanter or templar.

It makes no difference to me what Bio does in terms of the timeline, so long as I can customize it.
