EA Staff (Retired)Hey @WinterKnightems
At this point we really know very little about the next Dragon Age instalment. I understand that fans want the game to be as best as possible and are worried about its every aspect, especially the storyline, which has always been extremely important for Dragon Age players.
I believe we can have a very interesting discussion here, but please remember to stick to our forum rules and keep it game-related. We really don't need to debate about someone's political views.
That being said, I'm curious what's your ideas on bringing back this heavy, dark fantasy "flavour" that Origins had in the new instalment? How would you develop some storylines introduced in the previous games?

He, OP clearly never played as city elf or any of the dwarf origins. Those origin stories were really political. I especially liked the noble dwarf one where your brother gets you exiled by political intrigue. That was so well done!
He also seems to have missed out on a Leliana or Zevran romance. Sad!
For me both DA2 and DAI did have the dark fantasy flavor btw. All the stuff with your family and Varric's family in the 2nd game was grim. For DAI I can never forget In Hushed Whispers. Dark! I think it's the music that gives it that final twist that makes it unforgettable to me.

I just completed a dwarf noble playthrough and
Spoilerstill picked Bhelen over Harrowmont because he has more realistic long term goals with regards to trade. It was pretty difficult not to switch sides at the very last moment, however. That would be poetic justice. 🙂I actually have played those in origins. They were in game politics that drove the story. Completely different from force feeding real world politics into the game just to have them.
In hushed whispers was like fluffy snow bunny stuff compared to origins. Like being able to betray your best friend side with the main antagonist marry his daughter and execute
your friend so you can become king. Make a deal with a demon that you can exchange the life of a child for sex with her. Hunting down the woman who had your child through coercing you into doing a dark ritual to save your life then gut her like a fish.
Or did you not do the deep roads part where they tell you how the dark spawn kills male dwarfs and captures females to * and torture and turn into giant blobs that birth darkspawn.
This is just a little of the horribly dark things from DAO that DA2 and DAi can not come close to.
