DAO spoilers/stuff'ums

Spoiler:

I decided to go ahead and just finish my Zevran file since it was close to the ending more then any of the other files (like just capture Anora and the landsmeet bit). Was all really good, except the final battle was a « Baaaa *glomp* » to do cause I didn't bring wynne, my healer and yeah that I will never ever ever ever do again.

Also was a little frustrated that the ending game credits called my Warden a lady when it came to the ending with him and Zevran but ah well. Otherwise, it was good.

Edited the name of the thread so talking about other Bioware games aren't offtopic. Sooo talk about DA, ME, KOTOR or whatever but still post any DA:I news you come across :p

[Ronin19]

Oh good, now I can talk about that rumor that the ME trilogy might come to PS4 and Xbone after that retailer put the series up for PS4 and Xbone a while ago. Even though I own the entire trilogy for Xbox 360, I don't think I could pass up the chance to own it for my PS4 library. For one thing, we don't know if save files will go from the trilogy into ME4 and if they do I have no intention of playing ME4 on my 360 when I have a PS4 to use. For another, I bet it'll look great on 1080p!

And speaking of choices, got any choices you want to see from DAO or DA2 have an impact in DAI?
If Morrigan was my main love interest...

Spoiler:

I'd like her to tell the Inquisitor what happened to the Warden after he went into the mirror with her. I don't think I'll ever see this since my canon Warden fell in love with Zevran.

I'd also like to know where Zevran and Isabela are. Since my Warden and Hawke fell in love with each one and if Hawke and Isabela found the Warden and Zevran and the four of the traveled together you have to imagine all the...fun the four of them have together

[LeBurns]

Is anyone in the Dragon Age Keep Beta?

Just curious as to what choices per game are brought over into DAI.

Also wondering about those who have Lelianna killed in DAO, then she reappears in DA2, what options are there for her in DAI? Does she die again? Do they carry that "death was exaggerated" story?

Also I never played the full game of DA2, so I am wondering if there are some default canon choices made for you in that case if you just want to go with those instead of guessing at some options.

[RopeMaidenKirie]

I'd LOVE if the ME trilogy got ported over to PS4. I heard that it's a pretty shaky rumor though, so hopefully it ends up being true.

My warden was

Spoiler:

queen with Alistair in DAO so I hope something comes of that! (for my canon file) I think that's mainly about it though.

Well, if anyone was beta testing the DA Keep they wouldn't be able to say anything because it's under NDA. They've said the keep is going to be able to transfer over tons of choices though.

About Leliana, she does bring it up if you ask her about it in DA2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnluQP79vnU considering if you killed her, it was on holy Andrastian ground sooo who knows, maybe the Maker revived her lol. She'll be in Inquisition no matter what though.

I think it's interesting that the "Bioware" canon is:

Spoiler:

DAO: Dalish Elf, Warden Dead, Alistair king
DA2: Mage, sides with mages

Is anyone in the Dragon Age Keep Beta?

I wish. I signed up and got nothing. They said you can put as little or as much as you want into your world. I'm going to put as much as I can into my world since I did everything in DAO and DA2.

Also wondering about those who have Lelianna killed in DAO, then she reappears in DA2, what options are there for her in DAI? Does she die again? Do they carry that "death was exaggerated" story?

Also I never played the full game of DA2, so I am wondering if there are some default canon choices made for you in that case if you just want to go with those instead of guessing at some options.

Spoiler:

Leliana's "death" is explained in DA2's Sebastian DLC She tells Hawke and his/her party that "The Maker decided it wasn't my time yet." if she died. I kept her alive.

The main choices I saw that have any affect would be any chance you got to side with the Templars or Mages or the ones involving your party.

Carver/Bethany's fate: Grey Warden, dead, or Templar/Circle Mage

Sebastian/Ander's fate: Sebastian leaves if Anders lives, but if Hawke kills Anders, Sebastian stays. While Anders is a mandatory party member, Sebastian isn't.

Merrill's fate and her clan's: If you choose the Friend Route, Hawke and his/her party will slaughter Merrill's clan, but if you follow the Rivalry path, Merrill will be an outcast to her clan. You can choose whichever path you want, but those are the points you'll gain if you want to be Merrill's friend or rival. If you side with the Templars, Merrill can be persuaded by Anders to not follow Hawke and should Hawke not convince her otherwise if her Companion quest hasn't been finished, she will be killed by Hawke. Merrill is a mandatory party member

Isabela: She either kills the man she's been avoiding, takes his ship, runs away, taken by the Qunari, or Hawke can never meet her.

Fenris: You can either refuse his services (he's not a mandatory party member), turn him in to his master, abandon him when he goes after the woman who tortured him, or kill him if you side with the mages and his personal quests haven't been completed.

Varric: Varric stays with you no matter what. His brother betrays him in the Deep Roads and during his personal quest you can either kill his brother, let him live, or have Anders heal him to clear his head; you'll then be given the same two options before hand although letting him live now gives Varric friend points and killing him gives him rivalry points.

Aveline: You can have her marry a guardsman to allow her happiness or not. If Hawke sides with the mages and her personal quests haven't been finished, she refuses to follow Hawke anymore. She'll never die, but she is a mandatory party member.

Now, there are 7 Mage vs. Templar choices:
Act 1
Have Feynriell go to the Dalish Elves (Mage) or the Circle (Templar) to practice his Dream Walker magic
Turn over mages that fled Templars (Templar) or help them escape by either lying to the Templars outside or killing the Templars (Mage).
When telling Cullen about Templar recruits being possessed, have the Templar Keran be stripped of his Templar status (Mage) or allow him to stay as a Templar (Templar)

Act 2
When encountering Feynriell in the Fade, either allow him or convince him to train his magic (Mage) or make him Tranquil (Templar)
Near the end of Act 2, agree with Orsino (Mage) or Meredith (Templar)

Act 3
Make Emile de Launcet either return to the Circle (Templar) or let him go free (Mage)
Either argue in support of the mages (Mage) or for the Templars (Templar)

I believe all of those are the major choices

[LeBurns]

Wow, Dalish is canon? I would have guessed human noble since that seemed to fit the overall story better.

I have a few endings done:

http://static-1.nexusmods.com/15/images ... 422463.jpg

That's a lot of questions for DA2. I may have to just default that to see what happens.

[Ronin19]

So many characters! I think I could only do 6 for Origin. One for each origin along with one for each LI (two for Zevran and two for Leliana). DA2 on the other hand I think only twice was enough. One for each gender and then one so I could experience the game with either Bethany or Carver. I truly hated that my canon Hawke ends up with Carver since I loved playing as a mage in that game, but I liked Bethany a lot more than Carver. However, once Carver is Hawke's friend, he's actually pretty nice.

[RopeMaidenKirie]

Yeah, I always thought that was kind of neat too.

Speaking of Mass Effect, it sounds like ME4 is in the "middle" of development: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=810739

Maybe if we're lucky enough we'll get it by next year? Hoping for a teaser of some sort at E3, though I'm sure most if not all of the marketing is going to be going toward DA:I

[Ronin19]

There's already a rumor of ME4 coming out Spring 2015 so I hope that's true although I will be so preoccupied with DAI I may be able to finish DAI fully by the time ME4 comes out.

[RopeMaidenKirie]

I'm going to guess fall of 2015 myself.

1. They'll want an E3 to hype up the game, just like they did with ME3. There is NO way they're stealing the spotlight from DA:I this E3.
2. They'll want as much time to polish the game as possible, especially with the ME3 ending fiasco, they have a lot to make up for in many consumers eyes.
3. Considering DA:I comes out in October, and with the holidays (people in the gaming industry usually get a good 3 weeks off in December+January) there's definitely not enough time for a good marketing campaign.

of course, son! ;P

DAO spoilers/stuff'ums

Spoiler:

I decided to go ahead and just finish my Zevran file since it was close to the ending more then any of the other files (like just capture Anora and the landsmeet bit). Was all really good, except the final battle was a « Baaaa *glomp* » to do cause I didn't bring wynne, my healer and yeah that I will never ever ever ever do again.

Also was a little frustrated that the ending game credits called my Warden a lady when it came to the ending with him and Zevran but ah well. Otherwise, it was good.

Oh, cool! ^^ Yeah, Wynne is a must in that battle hehehehe

Did you do the ritual?

[Ronin19]

Fall 2015 or early 2016 does sound more believable.

Hmm, I've only completed DAO 3 times and DA2 twice fully and I was wondering how and when I should replay the games. I've still got to go through DAO as a human noble, a dwarf noble, and a dwarf commoner (I really don't like the dwarves or their lore in DAO) and the romances I haven't done as well (Morrigan and Leliana as both a woman and a man). In DA2 I could go through all the romances I haven't done (Sebastian, Merrill, and Fenris) as well as the classes I've yet to play (Archer, Sword and Shield, and Two Handed Sword).

I am convinced that my canon Warden is a dual wielding rogue at the least. I really should play through everything before DAI comes out. Too many games!

Yep! Was too much effort to do the sacrifice ending, I think I'll just watch that on youtube.

Spoiler:

I heard the epilogue if you romanced Zev and sacrificed yourself was suuuuuper sad tho.

[Ronin19]

Spoiler:

It is. If you sacrifice yourself with Zevran as the LI, it says he had many bed mates, but never loved again. Truly sad my tattooed elf.
