#da4 prediction

[themarydragon]

Dragon Age: Origins potentially started with a bloodbath/tragedy (depending on which origin you picked) and then a betrayal in the prologue takes out your mentor/savior, king, new friends, and a whole-ass army (not to mention a lot of very good doggos).

DA2 kicked off with the loss of a city we knew from DA:O and then a character death (a sibling, no less), and then a major betrayal in the first act (not to mention the OTHER sibling's fate). And that's just the EARLY tragedy.

DA:I kicks off with the destruction of the Temple of Sacred Ashes (also from DA:O) and then jumps right into the destruction of Haven & death of countless allies in the prologue.

So it would follow suit if they killed someone(s) very early on in a way to get the DA veterans immediately invested in murdering the new antagonist(s) instead of focusing solely on Solas.

That said.

Tell me why Varric didn't get his name flashed across the screen when Lace Harding did.

Is there anybody that could get merc'd in the prologue that would piss all of us off more than Varric?

I don't want to be right. But I only trust Bioware to hurt me.

Funny how BioWare wants us to believe that Hawke/Stroud/Alistair/Loghain are truly dead, but I ain’t buying it. In DA4 I’m gonna run into my old friend Feynriel and we’re gonna mount a rescue mission into the fade…. Guess it sucks for everyone who made him tranquil 🤷‍♀️

DA4 Prediction

You will finally get to romance a dwarf.

That's the party member who betrays/uses you to further their own agenda.

I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me after the Trespasser DLC but the sending crystals will probably be a gameplay element in DA4. The banter was DAI was one of the highlights of the game but constantly running around was time-consuming. Hopping on a mount was pretty much out of the equation because it sacrificed banter.

So, hey, sending crystals. They’re basically magic walkie-talkies.

We get the banter and we get to run people over on our war nugs

Win-win
