Maybe it has some significant meaning we don't know yet! Like, in Tamriel, 'stars' aren't bodies in space. They're tunnels, through 'the black stuff'. 'The black stuff' being other daedric planes, which cannot be observed from Mundus by mortal eyes, surrounding Nirn like a cocoon. Light pierces through from the other side, which is... something to do with the aedric Divines? I forget. I was excited about the tunnel-stars thing.

 

I mean okay, Thedas probably doesn't have demon-god planes with holes in them, but they might not be typical stars. Or, maybe they are, but their universe is fresh and they don't have many. Because the Maker is real and constructed it, because they're in a space born of, and influence by, emotion since it has its origin in connection with the Fade (and thus everything exists only because someone thought it should), because reasons we CAN'T EVEN KNOW

 

Or, you know, it could be because the team was stressed enough for time converting the engine for RPG use and figured we'd appreciate a good texture on the trees we look at rather than the sky you'll probably only see in the one zone - camera angles and all.

The sky is basically the Veil, right? So what we see in Thedas' sky is shaped by perception. The moon is actually a roughly equivalent distance from Thedas as our own moon, but Fade magic makes it seem closer.

Solas basically described the Fade as an alternate plane of existence so I don't think the sky is the Veil even though the Breach, and demons raining down from it, makes it seem that way. In other words, the Fade is not an actual separate, physical place, which is why walking there is so exceptional. I took his dialogue to mean that demons and spirits already exist alongside us, but the Veil keeps them from interfering with us, which is why a lot of death (from war) or magic can weaken the "barrier" and allow them to slip through, and that mages are more vulnerable.

 

If the sky were the Veil that would mean that Thedas were something like Midgard and the Fade were Asgard, with the sky separating the two. But I'd think if that were the case that it would actually be easier to get there than it would to travel to another plane of existence.

In the Hissing Wastes Solas asks Cole what he thinks of the sky/stars because it's different from the Fade, then Cole says he wishes he hadn't remembered. Makes me wonder what he saw.

That's ominous.

Just to weigh in, on PC with the ultra-high settings there is quite a large star-field present in the Hissing Wastes.
