is it going to be a random looking stature, a preset one or do we get to choose what it looks like??

[Maria Caliban]

I think the word you're looking for is statue.

Stature is a social concept relating to respect and prestige.

Anyways:

Stature is also another word referring to a person or animal's natural height when standing upright.

Somehow, I don't think a pair of flying breasts will represent my Male Human Noble very well.

Its going to be a giant foot, like in Lost.

[Bio Addict]

I'll be happy just as long as I get to choose the color. I can see my new avatar now, the Orlesian Grey Warden having a discussion with my formers PC's love interest about how long it's going to take to defeat the Architect, Morrigan thinks 20 hours at least. Then a flying leprachuan swoops down from the sky to deliver my DLC items from the first game. I'm just going to go ahead and get my hopes up really high...

Dammit, my character has 5 toes.

That's a beautiful statue.



Wait, what? I thought Awakening referred to canon.

[Feraele]

I suspect that we won't get a statue at the entrance to the new GW keep in Amaranthine. It "could" work..just for the connection between the Ultimate sacrifice story line and choosing to play the new Orlesian grey warden. Other option being that you just choose the Orlesian grey warden with no prior history attached. But this has all been hashed and rehashed, with no response whatsoever from anyone in the writing or dev departments.



I guess it will all be ignored...from the looks of things.

Well...as of the current latest news, there will be no stature as you can no longer import your dead save and start as a new character (where your US is remembered)...as your dead save is now alive woohoooo (sarcastic)...

So no statue for you

Guess we should be celebrating.."Night of the Living Dead" or something?

To be fair, the FAQ doesn't say you can't import a saved game with your character dead. It doesn't answer the question, so unless we hear otherwise, this still might be possible.

You can import a saved game with a dead warden.   But you don't get to choose what happens with that saved game.  Instead..it is assumed that instead of the Ultimate Sacrifice,  your warden somehow, someway, "miraculously" survived.

Thereby negating the hours spent on that run-through and the Ultimate Sacrifice ending.

Other choice is:   go play a brand new Orlesian Warden, with no connection ..and possibly no history given as to the original GW's demise and reasons for it.   Again US ..is denied, non-existant.

What some of us would like is perhaps clarification in the FAQ ..before Awakening comes along, and we attempt to import our dead character, hoping this information is thus, by cutscene, conversation..or some brief historical blurb ..passed onto the New Orlesian GW.  

This is how it was presented early on with the announcement of Awakening, that if our main character died, we could opt for playing the new GW.    Now these things don't seem to be mentioned in conjunction with each other.

So for some reason, the Ultimate Sacrifice is being ignored, or whatever.

Thats fine that some wish to play their dead warden..thats up to them.  But currently the rest of us..would love a bit of information as to the status of the Ultimate Sacrifice story ending.

Actually, there still isn't a clear statement.

.3 – If my PC died at the end of Dragon Age: Origins how are they alive in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening? (Back to top)



If a player wants to, they can import their "Dead Warden" into Awakening and play as them. For the story it's assumed that they didn't make the ultimate sacrifice, instead somehow survived. A player would start as the same level with the same gear as their "Dead Warden". Essentially, if a player doesn't have a problem hand-waiving the story in this regard - neither do we.

This is specifically an answer to a pointed question--Can I play as a dead character.



There is nothing stating that you can't play a new character AND import the choices of a previous character. So, before people panic, let's wait for that to be answered.

And this is a conclusion we have already drawn...we need more clarification, that certain story line endings are not going to be negated, forgotten..or left to dangle.

I thought it was pretty clear the statue would be like...





OR, they could say "Ferelden was attacked, and among the many things we lost, there was a statue of a particular hero. Problem is that without the statue, we don't know anything of this hero anymore."

[Feraele]

Or..they could just pretend that end cutscene for the Ultimate Sacrifice never happened, just like the Ultimate Sacrifice never happened. It got "hand waived".

[SurelyForth]

If the statue is anything like the one you get in Oblivion or, heck, like your reflection self in the gauntlet, I think no statue is the better deal. Mis-matched armor, weapons you haven't used since level 5 and the ugliest helm money can buy? Um, pass.

Well..I remember that statue..it wasn't "all that bad"..not perfect, but hey at least they did it.  

I have my doubts that we will see one in DA:A. 

[mousestalker]

Well for Elven Wardens all they have to say is that the statue was destroyed during the last riot. Because there will always be a recent riot and pogrom down in the Alienage.

Yeh. You just dreamt it, see? It must've been Morrigan's doing, somehow. It was all a dream, I say. The archdemon knocked you unconscious and you dreamt about your funeral. Yeah. That's it. Must be.

[KnightofPhoenix]

There is no statue of you. You know why?

It will be like one those soap things, you wake in Vigil Keep and realize everything was a dream
