Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age? (Spoilers and plot discussion here)

[Martinus]

There is a hope, yes. And seeing how they already have the engine ready, I'm hopeful we will get the sequel some time in 2010.

Have you seen the full map of Thedas?  It's huge - Ferelden is but a small portion of the continent.  But with the end of the Blight I'm not sure what would be the 'meta' quest...  A resurgence of the Magisters in Tevinter perhaps?

An Exalted March maybe?

Sten seemed to be poking around for the Qunari, maybe they plan to launch an invasion.

The "Arl Foreshadow" stuff suggests it will be about Morrigan's demon twins.

Where was it suggested it will be twins?

Wow you got that from Terrible Twos?  Interesting.

And "Raising Spirits: Offspring and the Fade".

Yes...that is the comment Arl Foreshadow has in reaction to that book.

Well, it's a speculation of course, but offspring and the Fade suggest magical (mage's) children. The "canon" ending of DA:O is Morrigan getting pregnant with the Grey Warden to absorb the Archdemon/Old God essence (not to mention the whole set-up screams "sequel!"). So "terrible twos" in relation to this suggests there will be two such children - hence twins.

Maybe we will play one twin against the other (think Baldur's Gate II).

Well I hope there is no "canon" ending and Bioware has new "origins" for the sequel that takes care of the possibe endings to DA1.  They seem to be doing that with ME2 but we will see.  They certainly had a canon version of what happened in BG1 in BG2.

And what if you chose to deny her both Alistair and yourself (if you're a male)?  This is what I did in my first playthrough.  There were no other wardens.  Besides this would work only with the only doing the killing blow (me in that case).

Aren't there a prohibitively large number of different endings for them to be able to do that though?

I didn't know the full map was even available to see.

Depends on the extent the events of the first game impact a sequel.  I mean obviously if the game takes place in Orzammar that would make a bigger difference than if it takes place in Orlais or Nevarra or something.
