Sneak preview:

"The land has become filled with Nerd ragers who moan about price in the no spoilers discussion forum and they turned into a new breed of darkspawn. As Commander of the Grey Wardens marketing industry its your job to put down this menace".

Seriously though have you seen the price-related nerd-rage in general discussion?

  I was just curious and I was wondering if there were going to be any further Dragon Age games. I feel that Awakening might be a little bit short and I'm hoping there will be more to come... <3<3<3<3<3<3

Anyone know?:blush:


I hope so. I've played through it 3 times, I'm finished with all my characters. I've played Origins more than that, but I'm pretty done with it too. There aren't any surprises left, or things I must see...so someone wake me up when there is more to do...Awakenings was really over too quickly, and too much left up in the air for my level of patience for "wait and see":P

I've heard some rumors that yes there is going to be more DA games. At the end of the game it sorta sums up what happens to your character. For mine it said something about the Antivan Crows, so im guessing it'll have to be something about that.

There will be a Dragon Age 2, though it may not necessarily focus on the Wardens. We do know it will have better graphics.

However, there's a possibility that you may keep your Warden, or at least some of the things you did in DA:O could potentially carry over.

And I'm sure future sequels are being planned. This is EA after all - once they get hold of a money-spinning franchise, they'll squeeze it like a tube of toothpaste.

It's not logical that DA2 will focus on another blight. Before DA:O there hadn't been a blight for over 100 years, so why would another one occur right after DA:O? I have a feeling/hope that Grey Wardens and darkspawn will take a backseat in DA2, and we'll get to focus on the Fade and demons. Morrigan will likely in involved in some way, since no matter what, she leaves at the end of DA:O. I'm sure they'll find some way to include her, despite the demon-child. Or her child could even be one of the party members. I would like that.



I also think that DA2 will take place in another country. There's no reason to revisit Ferelden again just because people want to catch up with old NPC friends. There's an entire world to explore, so why stay in one small part of it.



So yeah, I'd like it to take place in another land, have Morrigan's demon-child as a companion, not be a Grey Warden, no blight, more Fade(but a better design, DA:O Fade sucked), more demons, more dragons, more political intrigue, more sneakery in general, less save-the-world scenarios, more choices with no 'right' decision, more Elves, more evil things(evil choices, evil doings, etc).

Well, the whole DLC/thingy is typical EA - "Hey, remove that quest/item from game, and let them download it instead for 10-15USD!". The only DLC that has been decent, is Shale. Freakin' love that golem/dwarf.

The Keep was a huge let down.. especially when playing Awakening.. hmph. 30 minutes of playtime, srsly...



Oh, guess I spinned off-topic there. Well, the sequel or expansion (perhaps an Adventure pack a la NwN 1/2?) doesn't have to be all about Blights.

I mean, the Dragon Age setting is a world on it's own. Why not a Mystery of Westgate-/Darkness over Daggerford- kinda adventure pack? (The guys at Ossian Studios are awesome!)



Ideas for a sequel/expansion/adventure pack:



- Tension rises between Qunari and Tevinter/Other nations (meh, that area). Perhaps things aren't what they seem - a Fade Demon at work? Hmm..



- Perhaps crime cartas rise in Amaranthine, after what has happened in Awakening. Either join the local law enforcement, or siding with a thief guild..



- Morrigans Child . start of the new Blight? Dragon Cults?



- Ancient evil rises in Deep Roads that is not darkspawn?



- Invasion of Thedas of another race than Qunari? Tieflings? :P

They'd have to be mad to spend so long creating an entirely new universe just for the sake of one game, not to mention I'd hunt them down for making the best game I've played in a long time a one-off.

The Gray Wardens and the Darkspawn have been so central to the story to this point that it's hard to imagine a different character focus or a different "primary enemy"/menace.



I'm wondering if they will go in different directions in the future. I don't think we're done with the darkspawn, although the emergence of sentience and factionalism may mean it is possible we may be siding with some groups against others .... dunno.



It would be interesting if our main char was something other than a Gray Warden ... you know, there's so much of Thedas we haven't seen (means: writers haven't written into existence, yet), there are so many other kinds of options for the future ... perhaps the conflict between malevolent and benevolent Fade spirits may come to the forefront ... there still is the mysteries of the up-to-this-point mostly-unglimpsed Qunari civilization .... etc.



I still think the game lacks a fourth class, and there could be a veddy interesting mutation to its existing lore & backstory to accomodate one. That could be very fascinating, too.

It's easy to supplant the Darkspawn with a massive rip in the fade that lets demons thrugh, or a Qunari Invasion.



Or hell, just a war of one kingdom vs. another could be made into a game.

I think Dragon Age will always be based around the characters and story of Origins. I dont think Bioware would spend all that time creating all of those characters and writing up a magnificent story to then basically ignore it in the second time to do the same thing over again.



Frankly in my opinion, I think it should always be the Warden and the darkspawn. And in the last Dragon Age game, it would be the Wardens annihilating the darkspawn once and for all. Or something.

You know, thats what they do in most of their games. New characters and new storylines.

And more Darkspawn? What?  We already got a game and an expansion where we dealt with them. Do we really need another?

It is very plausible for Bioware to tackle a whole different setting for DA:2, because an AGE is considered 100 years.  They could easily set the storyline of the sequel 60 years after Origins (with every character from Origins either dead, or really old) and still be able to call it Dragon Age.  Also, although the Grey Wardens, The Blight, and Darkspawn were the focal point of Origins, doesn't mean they will be in the sequel.  Thedas is just a dangerous place, there are many other kinds of threats they could touch upon in the next game.

My prediction is Morrigan's demon child will set off some new Blight or something worse, or you will actually play as her child. It will probably be set in Orlais, my guess because I think that is where Morrigan ends up.

Ithink the next DA game will have something to do with either the Architect, Morrigan, or both. It could be anything really, Bioware has left Dragon Age open for tons of opportunites. I just hope that those opportunites make a good game.

I wanted to add my 2 cents. Firstly, as mentioned earlier on, bioware have confirmed they have 17 games planned. that doesn't mean "we're thinking about it", it means "we've planned them". It's quite often in fantasy worlds for the whole universe and NPCs etc to be mapped out prior to them being displayed. Bioware could have characters/NPCs designed, concepted, etc for game 17 in the franchise. It's unclear though if this includes expansions....



Anyway, back on track..... 17 games, thats huge. thats 17 games with 17 different stories, all keeping in line with the universe's cannon. Tying in with previous/future games, keeping stories in line throughout it's course, not just with games, but with comics, movies (its possible) etc... so yeah, there could be games which focus on the NPCs. maybe DLC episodic chronicles dealing each with a different party member. Alistair at the throne, Morrighan and the demon/god child....



It's clear that Bioware and EA want to make dragon age HUGE, and it's possible.



Also, the slip of paper stating feruary 2011.... as this was included in the awakening box set and not the standard box, it could mean one of 2 things in my eyes. It could mean the date hadn't been decided at the initial release but had by time awakening had been released (an idea that everyone seems to have) or it could mean that's the date for the next origins expansion.



Since Bioware/EA plan on supporting and releasing DLC for 2 years, 2011 is too soon for a release of a new game, unless the expansions for DA:O coinsides with DA2. so my guess is that this 2011 date is for the next expansion pack for DA:O. It was stated that there would be several expansions.



Also, who says all the games have to be Dragon Age? Why not the {something goes here} Age? All in the same universe, spanning centuries, meeting hundreds of thousands of characters, over 17 games, years of game play, with NPCs impacting the universe as a whole.



Some food for thought.
