They may not be the primary cause of a world threat but eventually it will involve them that's why they cared to stop Fen'harel.
 
I'm thinking that the whole premise is starting to become a little ridiculous tbh.
I get that the Dragon age was somehow designed to be this bridge of transition for the new age probably with more magical strawberries but that each single decade there is a new uber powerful enemy that risk to destroy the entire world really bring things on the level of DBZ in terms of plot.
That's what you get apparently when you introduce to many people able to destroy the entire world and i bet that Bioware will even introduce the Evanuris in the future,so expect even more greater world threats than before,because if they don't give you an uber protagonist that have to save the entire world they are not satisfied.

Yeah saving the world over and over is pretty tiresome experience of a cliché storytelling of playing a hero.

I recalled that there was a DA series, but I admit that I didn't recall its title. Still... comparing Sareebas' whole plan to what Solas or Corypheus wanted to accomplish individually is a stretch if I've ever saw one, hence my confusion. Plus the whole usage of Fen'Harel's mask to open the rift was an obvious set-up.

 
The DAwiki has links to all episodes, as well as summaries and character descriptions.

I never finished watching it; I thought it was boring. However, since Tallis does appear in DA2, I'd say it's reasonable to assume that the events are at least partly canonical. Whatever someone thinks of Bioware's reasons for it, their opinion of the Tallis character, or Felicia Day, it's difficult to get away from that fact of it.

As soon as you introduce elements like  meeting actual Gods and finding out the real truth about ancient deities and races, then you are putting your story's crediblity into grave difficulties. It locks you into an endless spiral of trying to up the ante, because if a previous character has met Gods and been to heaven itself or learned the truth behind some of the world's biggest mysteries, then the next character must have something equally far fetched and outrageous just to be considered as standing still by many of the fans.

I think the story is fantastic personally and anyway who wants to play a game where there's no big evil to crush? I love the fact that no matter what something big happens and it causes you to go on a journey and you learn that history may not be what it seems. It amazes me that no matter what, something else happens and it causes everyone in thedas to rethink all they have been taught. I'm loving the direction of DA and I look forward to what's to come

For those who complains on the frequency of events: the alternative would be to do like TES and let every game be self-contained, and that several years pass between each chapter. Even if I like that as well, it's much more suitable for sandbox games, where the overall story isn't that important. I like being part of - and act upon - big events, and being able to connect to places and persons over several games.

That said, I'd enjoy a "smaller" DA game as well. But I don't it's very probable that will be the case for the next one...

Or a complete fantasy.

I know it's a fantasy game miss and I didn't even back down.

I do. I would prefer a story where evil is a matter of perspective and means, where we could reasonably take either side, and where we face more rational opposition than one who would destroy the world before giving up.

In that, I agree.

It depends on how you want to look at it. I completely understand him  because in DAO it is a lot easier to focus on how Logain's plots against you are vital to the story while in DAI Orlais seems just forced. Of course DAO had all magic and stuff but the "big badie" was not the Arch Demon and not even loghain, it was politics and personal grudges, they were the decisive matters

(who reigns over orzammar? how to deal with zatrian? to kill or save the mages? and so on).

 

 

In DAI there are political things BUT all part of the plot of the "big bad", see the difference? Each and every main plot mission is caused by magic or supernatural things, even the mission that had potential to be political.

In DAO it is the opposite, even missions where magic is the central theme they were not "magically connected" to your mission, they were just there, a part of a living world that got in your way, that's how real life works, you want some things but there are other things in your way, DAO was more "organic" or "alive" in this sense.

 

Orzammar is having a problem that was not caused by the Archdemon neither by Loghain. Same for the mages/templars and the dalish. They were living and dealing with their problems and you met them along with their problems. This kind of story is more realistic because of its nature, it mimics the casualness/causalness of real life instead of the neurotic paranoia of "everything have a meaning and is connected to you" aka "the chosen one" from Inquisition. I'm not talking about being or not herald of Andraste (since we know what it really was), I'm talking about the big baddie being behind everything wrong, and later in Trespasser it becomes even more ridiculous.

 

So this is the thing, there is more realism in a story that things "just happen to be in your way" filled with fairies, easter bunnies and santa claus than in a spy movie where there is a villain making everything wrong happen. People could be more healthy, abandon this kind of fiction where someone always plots against you, it is childish, that's not how life works. Yeah there maybe someone against you (Loghain) but not everything that happens in your life is because of this person (DAI main villain and Trespasser "villain")

I see y'all perspectives however, I just happen to like what I like. Each game satisfied me and I hope the next one continues that.

DAI admittedly took a turn from the dark fantasy and low/urban fantasy from past titles more towards high fantasy, introducing themes about high magic, ancient elves, god kings, etc. But there's a reason the "chosen one" theme is so common in this genre, and it's because it's telling a spiritual journey.

A lot of these fantasy themes about dragons, etc, are symbolic. They aren't just window dressing there to be randomly "in your way" and they do mean something to the hero. If you think of it this way, you might find you enjoy it more as a story, because using the fantasy genre to explore religious/spiritual themes goes back at least to Tolkien, who himself drew on a lot of Christian themes and Norse mythology.

That said, DAI is more realistic take. Showing how myths are born, how history can be forgotten, or reinterpreted, etc.

There are still political themes in DAI, and Corypheus wasn't the sole cause of everything happening. He effectively used the existing chaos to make his move at the Conclave, which lead to a series of events, but he didn't cause everything, and it turns out someone else was opportunistically using him as well.

Lately the activity here usually comes in bursts - someone starts a new sub-topic or says something people react to and it either generates new pages in thread or not.

And Dragongirl24 was right this was it ... so Solas was defeated and he died. Lets bury him and let Divine Leliana say a few words so that we can all say goodbye to Solas. He put up a really good and long fight but in the end he lost. 

 

Thank you all for all your posts i mean really this thread really exploded. So again thank you all  .

A tough question for you guys and gals:

 

What will your Lavellan do if Solas' plans inadvertedly cause the enslavement of the elven people at the hands of the Evanuris?

That's a pretty big boo boo. I'd wager it would largely depends on how Solas. If his answer is to make another mistake? Well...
