If we're going to do prequels, I want the fall of Arlathan, why it fell, who brought it down, etc. Then perhaps, the rise of Tevinter, the old, Tevinter. the one before Andraste and the Chantries and all that.
HERETIC!!!!!
you make the lord very nervous.... hehehe little nickey...
anyways, if we do go to tevinter, bioware will tell it how they want to tell it... we had a similar opinion of the orlesians as well after playing in ferelden and the marches... we thought all of them dumb snooty rich folk.... and still kind of do, but we have a better insight to the country after inquisition and now we dont have such a preconceived notion on what all their people are like.... anyways, im sure that tevinter will have blurred lines, especially if we have calpernia helping the reformers and dorian as well... and hell if you did the war table quest, we backed the reformers with the inquisition. If we do go to tevinter, im pretty sure not only will it be war with qunari, but also a civil war.... the reformers have gained enough power to fight the current magisters, during this fight/civil war, qunari take par vollen, our PC helps win the civil war for his/her side (whoever you want), and then the qunari invade tevinter and you spend the rest of the game fighting for whatever side you want.... at least i would like it to work out that way....
I think you mean the Qunari take Seheron, but otherwise, yes.

That sounds interesting. As long as someone gets to decisively defeat the qunari with a little help from us, if we so choose.
Also, I would love to play as a Tevinter spy who gets to steal the recipe for blackpowder.

Im more concerned if they will be painted realistically with numbers of abomnations and magical caused disasters that comes with free and corrupted mages because it is topic they ridiculously ignored in dai where pretty much numbers of abomnations should be much higher than in da2.
Since Tevinter is a relatively stable society, we can assume that they know how to handle these things pretty well. Dorian seems to imply that it's just Orlais on steroids: elves are slaves instead of servants and peasants, they are sacrificed by mages instead of killed by newbie Chevaliers, etc.
There are rumblings and speculations that the next Dragon Age will be in Tevinter. Well I'm asking you BioWare. Don't make Tevinter soft to please the portion of your fanbase that frequents social media sites like Tumblr. I'm not saying that I want Tevinter to be stupid evil either. But please depict them properly. An expansionist empire. You know what was great about Rome? Whether you agree or not they thought they were the good guys. Paving roads and bringing order to the uncivilized corners of the world.
I posted this video for it's beginning.
So instead of focusing on the how evil blood magic and slavery is, please do something original. And if the story has to be about war (with the Qunari or Thedas) please do proper research. Start with Eirene, one of your very own forum goers. She knows her stuff.
Anyways, this is my plea BioWare. Don't reduce Tevinter to some politically correct apologetic wet dream. Don't depict them as evil for their cultural practices. Just present them as they are. A ruthlessly efficient empire on the cusp of reattaining their lost glory.
If any other users agree please show your support in this thread. If you disagree. I feel sorry for your tastes.
Thank you.
