Goodmorning everyone! :)

Interesting Q&A from the developers team on some of the issues of Awakening: http://social.biowar...index/1321833/1


Reading now. thanks for the link    :)


And what do you think of this Gaider's post in another topic?

"No... what I was asked was whether you might see the DAO romances (as in those particular characters) returning in the future -- such as in a potential sequel. I said maybe, but there's no guarantee of that just as there's no guarantee you're even playing your DAO character in the future. Dragon Age games are about epic tales set in Thedas, not the character you played in DAO or the romances you had in DAO. I did not suggest we might not have any romance whatsoever."

The guy is a master at speaking without saying anything... He should become a politician! :)

Have a link to that topic? Wouldn't mind seeing his first reply. :)

Ok..it's his first post into that topic... I need a little help because some English sentences are difficult to me... What does this sentence means?



"It's just difficult for some people to let go of the Origins story even though it's very much over"



Is he saying that we should better consider Origins an "already ended" story??

Yes that is what he's saying, he's saying some people are too attached to the finished story...



Can't really say the story is finished though.

Ok thanks.. My feeling reading his posts is that he is saying...

"Ok guys... we are not able to say if you will see your Origins story to continue but you should better to prepare yourself to see the opposite thing.."

"sighs" Then why worry about our endings if we must prepare ourselves for the opposite?  blah..  "pouts at the screen"  :unsure:

Exactly... Similar to what I replied to that thread:

David Gaider wrote...

This is probably partly because the origins game gives certain impressions which lead many people to believe the Origins story is just the first chapter in their characters story, which implies continuation.

Given the choice for example to go look for Morrigan gave me the impression that character would actually find her someday. When you pick to go travel with Leliana and your characer returns in Awakening it makes sense people expect to see her, if not in this expansion than at least at some other story...

the game did leave that illusion. Eh... I decided I won't speculate right now. It is far to stressful to worry over. I need more coffee. :P

Yesterday I was talking with Lion by PM.. I can say I may not be really unhappy if I have to consider my DAO ending as a definitive ending.. I like the idea of my character went into the sunset with Leliana and stay with her forever.. it's really a beautiful ending... and I like it.. even if I know I will never see them anymore..
Can someone image a possible better ending? I think it's impossible.. don't you?
My regrets would be to all those people who did not had an happy ending with Morrigan

I have one ending with Morrigan. That is fine though. I let that character die!   LOL He will not be returning as a former dead grey warden either. That is entirely to ridiculous!

I agree, I actually prefered their earlier idea to just port the decisions over to the new warden... I can't really see the trouble they have with this to be honest, except that it costs effort... But on the other hand they provided people that want to import their dead warden with an option to continue without ever having done the US, however people can still decide whether or not to do that. So I don't really mind the option being there.

If she returns in DA2 with a new PC, then I'll probably do a similar thing... That is if I can bring my lovey dovey characters to tell her no, usually she has them at "Its only me".
Darn you Claudia Black and your enchanting voice!!!

If you think well..  a character who is in love with morrigan and who survive is the only really "unfinished ending" of DAO.. All other possible endings may quite being considered like "THE END" scenarios....

This is true, however they made the decision to import your character into Awakening which breaks open all the endings imho. If he's not finished yet, then how can his love be finished?
By making your character import they are creating hopes or the impression at least that this will be like Mass Effect.

We'll always have pretend however! :) We can always use the Orlesian Grey warden only in Awakening or just pretend our import is another guy. :)

We could always make our own expansion eventually, never done any modding, but I do have lots of programming experience... I wonder if Claudia Black would do charity voice acting... *kidding of course*

There is bright side to that ending at least.... You'll have something in common with Oghren, so you won't get bored of him in Awakening :D


Oghren: So, Warden... what happened with you and the witch? You never told us.
Warden: You really don't want to know.
Oghren: Try me. She can't be worse than Branka.
Warden: Now that you mentioned it... I think she pulled a Branka on me.
Oghren: He-he... what? You mean she left you for another woman... ahaaaha... oh sorry... didn't mean to laugh... that's terrible
Warden: Well, umm... yes. Can we talk about something else now?
Oghren: Alright, alright, but I'll get it out of you someday. It'll make you feel better when talking to the doctor of love.

lol, I'm not sure I would call that a "gright" side, don't really think I want anything in common with Oghren! ;) If I would have been Branka, I would have also have gone to my own sex for consolation! ;)

Yeah.. PC users can always hope for some mod in order to see wish fulfilment...

Concerning Awakening the more I read BW official's post in various threads, the more I think they are orientating us in the way to consider the xpac not really integrated with the main plot...

This is due by the fact they continue to compare it to Hordes of the Underdark and not to Throne of Baal

I've come to the conclusion... I am just happy to have some decent RPG's finally! Story is huge for me. Yes, I got very attached to my characters, and companions. Yes, that is a great compliment to Bioware. So give me the next latest and greatest, get me attached, just keep them coming and I'll not complain much. :)

Yes I agree...
Maybe after 2 years we will be here again talking about our new story, our new companions and our new romances and we will be exactly as happy as we are happy today... with the exclusion of Lion Posted Image
But who knows? maybe the next game will be my turn to finish the game  with my heart broken, while your character will go into the sunset with his LI...

Alright, alright; help me decide the ending for my Brosca here. Should I sacrfice her and break Zevran's heart and/or die nobly, or take Morrigan's deal and lap up the ego boosting in the palace after the event? Whatever decision I make, I can still play her I suppose in the expac.

Both in game and in life I usually consider LOVE the first and most important thing... There is no nobility in sacrifying themselves leaving someone with the heart broken... It would be only selfish and cruel...
Therefore IMHO you have to accept Morrigan's offer and then live the rest of you life with Zev...
