Dear Bioware writers and developers,
I cannot understate the importance of your superb characters to the success of your franchise. Reappearances of familiar faces from previous games are always exciting for me as a player. While the fan base may be divided on favorite fictional friends, I would like to pose a few suggestions for future content based on my own gameplay and interaction with the community.
First, Morrigan is indispensable in the current timeline of the game. Her actions (and the potential further significance of her son) are a constant source of intrigue for me and many others. When she is not present, her absence is sorely missed. Let us further explore her magic, her relationship with her child and mother, and the complexities of her personality and goals.
I have some suggestions involving Morrigan. Most of us would love to see her as a playable character again. However, I think she would also make a fantastic villain in the series. Her intentions for raising an "old god" child are never quite clear and it would be interesting to see why she so desperately wanted the child---especially if her reasons were sinister.
Other players may have denied Morrigan her child, but she could theoretically perform the ritual with someone else (maybe finding a corrupted old god in the deep roads using an Eluvian?) and thus have a younger old god child. What does Morrigan gain from this relationship? That needs to be made clear.
Another potential idea is using Anora as a main antagonist. She is powerful and I would believe it if she tried to start an imperial war against the other countries of Thedas. There is a lot of raw potential for tension between Celene and Anora and even the new divine. I'd especially like to see Anora take on and cause problems for the next Thedas hero.
Even if players chose to dispose of Anora (resulting in her imprisonment), she could still escape and lead an underground revolution. She mentions strong loyalty from the people, some of which may still be angry with Alistair's coup. While it would be harder for her to start claiming parts of Thedas under her imperial rule, it would still be plausible considering her excellent negotiation skills.
This points to other interesting places that could be conquered in Anora's campaign. We could have the chance to explore and/or protect Rivain, Antiva, Nevarra, the Anderfels, The Donarks, Par Vollen, Seheron, etc. This would also allow for further skin color and body type diversity among your NPCs.
As far as conquering goes, there is always the possibility of the full-scale Qunari invasion. It's not completely clear as to what it would take for the invasion to begin. The people of Thedas don't seem to take it too seriously, either. The only exception I can think of is what happened in Kirkwall, but it was merely a chapter in a larger story. I'd love to hear the actual reason for the delay. Is the Qunari army and navy stretched thin in "the land beyond the sea" and therefore cannot afford to open another battlefront? Or maybe their own ideology and integration into Thedas has inhibited their ability and willingness to create more war?
There is also potential for other invasions from the lands beyond the sea and---thinking in the opposite direction---potential for opportunistic explorers to depart from Thedas on their own journeys to discover what lies beyond the known continent. Pirates, such as Isabela, could reappear in this instance and be either helpful or a hindrance.
Finally, I would offer that a shift in time would also be really interesting. For example, going back in the past and exploring the rise and fall of Andraste AS Andraste, or even as a character directly involved with her, would be really interesting. It would be complicated but it would be a really cool part of Thedas history explored.
Thank you for listening to my suggestions. I look forward to future Dragon Age installments.
Sincerely,
A ridiculously devoted fan (who also happens to be a professional writer if you ever find yourself in need of another)
