What do you think the end game is for 'Dragon Age Chronicles', assuming EA doesn't pull the plug on the series at some point before completion?

 

 

- Solas succeeds in tearing down the Veil and the world burns?

 

- Solas partially succeeds and the Evanuris escape, triggering the awakening of the last tow old gods and a super blight to boot?

 

- Solas is foiled, perhaps because of Mythal's machinations behind the scene (including her 'death' at the end of DAI?  But in such case one has to wonder what is *her* plan?)

 

- Some other agency intervenes to either facilitate or completely render impossible the removing of the Veil (the Qunari's cousins?  Someone else?  The Maker?);

 

- Conversely, the Veil is somehow strengthened sufficiently to seal the Fade completely, thus making that world more similar to ours (no magic or hardly any trace of it).  And yes I'm aware of Sandal's prophecy.

IDK but I just get the feeling that Solas and the whole thing going on with it is not, by itself, the end game.

Red, blue or green.  

[Dai Grepher]

Solas opens the world that was before, but it isn't the world he expected. Certain areas of the world will be merged with the Fade through the Crossraods, but there will still be many places where the Real stays intact. The evanuris are released and are just as powerful as ever. Solas gets beat down, and the Inquisitor gets to either save his life or end it.

 

We defeat the evanuris and others.

 

Eventually we go to the Black City and the Hero purifies it with the cure.

[Force of the North]

Solas restores the world of the elves, but he is weakened from doing so and the Evanuris escape to their old temples and are now angered that their worship has diminished and seek to change that.  Solas will be the main antagonist in DA4, but I could see him becoming an ally again in DA5 (if you dont kill him in DA4).  Which would mean we would be fighting the rest of the Evanuris in later DA games. 

When the veil comes down it does not have the effect Solas though, just like putting it up did not.  Mages become super powerful. Tranquil are restored. Demons and spirits alike wonder the world.  Human cities begin to fall as city elves start to rise up and the Dalish, embolden by their gods' return, attack from the outside.  The Qun falls because all are now Serabas and mush be leashed.  The Chantry views the new rise in magic to be a gift from the Maker, reminding themselves that Andraste said that magic was meant to serve man. Even the dwarfs see a change in their abilities with the awakening of titans all over the world.  Your job as the hero will be to either accelerate, maintain, or undo these changes.

We will get three endings then a 4th ending dlc/patch

An ending designated by blue is the veil remains intact and spirits are enslaved.

An ending designated by red is the veil is torn down and the "mundane" world is destroyed.

A green ending is designated by green and only with a romance Solas exclusive to imports plus mp activity where the fade and mundane world peacefully become one.

Then the additional ending is stay home with a nice cuppa cocoa and forget about everything while the whole world burns because it's someone else's problem.

I agree.

 

Also, I'd think that we would either have two more Blights, or something happens to prevent the final Blights from occurring and we finally solve the great problem of the darkspawn.

 

Perhaps the ultimate end game is similar to Middle Earth. Magic fades away, and all other fantastical things, and it is the time of men. (I'm not rooting for this, it's just a theory.)

Götterdämmerung. =)

If it was a matter of simple prophesy I would go with the stone seer whose statue mysteriously disappeared, has never been wrong yet including predicting coryphaeus's actions back in origins and her statue's mysteriously disappeared. More likely since they will likely never show anything involving the maker that might prove its existence in game though is the Kossith will show up with even more advanced technology and crush the qunari like bugs just to show how powerful they all.

 

They will then ruthlessly tear apart Thadas in an attempt to stop Solas's plans forcing the hero of the last game to confront both them and Solas.

[TheKomandorShepard]

Doubtful Solas will succeed unless da 4 will be last game that is set up in the future , Solas succeeding would mean they would have to write almost entirely new setting.

 

Knowing dragon age devs love of cliffhangers that is probably how game will end setting up another threat like titans , mythal or whatever force executors serve.   

[Jedi Comedian]

Red, blue or green.

Those colors should be used for lightsaber blades only, NEVER for endings.

[Secret Rare]

Since DAO each game is a cliffhanger and nothing more  that's why i'm a little bit tired.

There is no more option for the player to conclude plots within the game and reject cliffhangers like in DAO when the players can decide to simply destroy the soul of the dragon.

[Blood Mage Reaver]

Like many said, this series is far from over.

 

Solas will likely be the next villain but there are still far too many loose ends to account for:

 

-Two more Old Gods left to cause blights and the Warden's are on the verge of collapse.

 

-Five or six Darkspawn Magisters left besides Corypheus depending on wheter you spared the Architect or if he'll stay dead.

 

-Seven Evanuris left besides Solas and Mythal who will each likely be a major antagonist.

 

-Titans who have just awakened to wage war on all factions.

 

-That thing worse than blights implied to happen when all Old Gods die.

 

-What's in the Black City and who, if he exists, is the Maker.

 

-Lack of a definitive protagonist to conclude the series.

 

 

In my opinion, none of the DAI games we played so far had any conclusive ends because they each set up the settings for the next one and we haven't even gotten into the real main conflict yet.

 

Originally, Bioware intended for Hawke to become the main protagonist of all following DA games like Shepard but because his game bombed they backpedalled on the idea and switched back to multiracial characters in Inquisition.

 

I get the feeling that they didn't give up on the concept so much as pushed it back so that the definitive Choosen One could have a proper introduction and impact on the story in a way Hawke failed to achieve.

 

The way Inquisition ends feels like you've been told the story of Admiral Anderson, you stepped into the shoes and lived the life of the big good whose actions put the Alliance at the forefront of galactic conflict but who ultimately just set the stage for the young messiah to bring everlasting change.

 

The Inquisitor and his inner circle are the only sane people not blinded by bureocracy, corruption or bigotry who can move a sizeable force against Solas when he finally makes his move in much the same way that Anderson and Hackett were the only sane people who could give Shepard the armies he needed to save the galaxy in the nick of time.

 

In that same vein, one could say that Solas is going to be the Saren of the true DA trilogy. He is that well-intentioned extremist who believes that salvation comes at the cost of destruction but ultimately serves as just a pawn for the sealed evil.

 

The Evanuris are pretty much the Reapers, unfathomable ancient enemies who could easily destroy the world and whom only the protagonist can challenge and survive,

 

In turn, the Maker is something like the Catalyst, a bastard who never spoke or manifested itself until the very end but was in fact manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

I am more picturing the maker as being like the god from tolken's works, he doesn't generally interfire for good reason and acts indirectly because when he does interfere directly it has major effects like enitre lands sinking beneath the oceans.

The Maker is the big mistery which acts as a placeholder explanation for everything the Chantry doesn't know squat about, the games aren't so much about uncovering what he is as they are about finding the truth of things he is not responsible for.

 

Unlike Eru Ilúvatar, whose existence is confirmed by all beings who existed since the creation of Arda, the Maker only came to be known at large when Andraste claimed to he his bride and spread the story that the blight was his divine punishment for humans turning their backs on him.

 

Unlike the Maiar and Valar, who sung besides their creator at the dawn of the world, the Spirits of Thedas have no clue as to whom the Maker is or how they came to be.

 

To further complicate things, many of the feats attributed to the Maker actually originate from ancient Elven magic and the ancient elves themselves never heard of him.

 

If the Maker does exist, 99% of what we know of him is just plain bullshit made up by the Chant of Light, the rest 1% is what the Evanuris and the Titans did to create the Taint.

It depends on how much time elapses between future games. We're at 9:42 right? So we have a good few years to remain in the Dragon Age. I feel like they might try to time the last game ending in 9:99.

 

I also predict that if the franchise continues to be successful, it will spin off into an MMO like SWTOR or the new Fable Legends. It will be exploring the lands outside of the map that were hinted at in WOT2 and occur after the events of the games. Thedas as we know it will find relative peace and technological growth will allow players to cross the seas and settle new lands.

 

Note that I wouldn't play this game, it's just a prediction of how game companies trend in their franchises right now.

[SwobyJ]

More than Solas, and the several DA games are not necessarily the end of the franchise. Enough material to continue for decades, though the 'main initial arc' could end in 2020s-2030s (~DA5-7).

I think the evanuris are in the golden/ black city. Cole says that the evanuris are mask in a mirror, so he's talking about an eluvian or something like it. Eluvians are gold, but when they are inactive or corrupted they turns black. the black city was once golden and it must of turned black when Solas locked away the evanuris, or when the magisters corrupted it like the chantry says.
