I believe that there is going to be one more game in THE Dragon Age Setting (Thedas for short) and the ending is going to be like mass effect.

At the very end our fourth protagonist are going to get these choices from the Titan child.


The following is an epilouge that explain the consequences of each of the three choices.

1) The transformation of the veil was felt throughout Thedas with as much force as the ancient elves must have felt when Solas originally banished the Evanuris, but nowhere more then in Tevinter.
With the magisteriums minds being sundered all at once along with every possible heir, the imperium stood without leadership, and quickly fell into total chaos, the chaos did not end until 9:55 Dragon, when the Qunari held their victory parade in Minrathous, the imperial capital having finally fallen.
The Dwarves of Orzemmar and Kal-Sharok suddenly finds themselves with empty deep roads after ages of fighting the darkspawn. With lyrium dried up the dwarves have lost their primary export, but with so much open deep road left to explore, excavate and rebuild they have little time to worry.
In the south Kirkwall becomes the hub for fleeing Tevinter nobles, which starts a renascence of knowledge. In 9:99 Dragon, the now ancient Divine Victoria names the next age after an invention of a young Kirkwall engineer that that have learned to harness the power of steam. Hence the next age will be known as the steam age. This will be the last act before she shortly before 10:1 Steam she dies. So she does not live to see how prophetic her naming the age truly very, but all agree that she was inspired by the Maker.


I will add the next two epilogues later, but tell me what ye think. -rphb- (talk) 16:06, October 19, 2015 (UTC)

So the fifth game would be DA: Steampunk? FYI, stile is spelt style. S-T-I-L-E actually is a word, it's what you call those bars in the ground that keep farm animals from leaving an area but allow people to cross (thanks dictionary.com). Silver Warden (talk) 19:41, October 19, 2015 (UTC)

I think Bioware learned their lesson after the intense backlash ME3's endings got from the fans. They're not going to be trying that again in a hurry.67.193.194.141 (talk) 20:43, October 19, 2015 (UTC)

No. Caspoi (talk) 10:56, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

I *hate* the epilogues you just listed but nonetheless chose option 1! A world without magic is a better world. But I do agree with "steam age" or something along that term since we have gunpowder, springs, bombs, and all that (yeah unrelated to steam but the point being Thedas is moving to a new age of discovery). 120.29.107.69 (talk) 16:13, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

Notice that there were over 300 hundred years between steampower and what you mentioned. Caspoi (talk) 17:01, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
Thedas doesn't need any new technological discoveries as long as there's magic. Take away magic and innovation takes its place. For example, the ancient elves didn't have any highways because they had the Eluvians. The ancient Tevinters didn't have the ability to take magical shortcuts across Thedas, so they built highways. The qunari restrict the use of magic and are the most technologically advanced civilization in Thedas - that's no coincidence. Without magic the pace of innovation will accelerate in Thedas, so steam technology could appear sooner rather than later, but probably not instantly.

Okay I did not write the other two scenarios because I liked the green one best myself, but I can assure you that the other two options suck even more. However If ye look at the timeline I gave it, there is more then 50 years from the end of DA4 to 9:99 dragon.
When I started playing dragon age I was actually pretty elf friendly, but I have slowly gotten more and more annoyed with them, they are almost without exception, extremely annoying.
I also, and I think I speak for everyone here, wants to rip one of solas's eyes out, force him to eat it, and then get someone with AIDS to pee in his empty eye socket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INEFk5w0yT4
But irregardless the south park reference, that madman really and truly needs to be stopped, he is more evil then Corypheus, and he makes a compelling case for elven genocide-rphb- (talk) 23:17, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
He's not more evil than Corypheus. He's merely as evil. Seriously though, elven genocide is taking it way to far. There are plenty of examples of human (and dwarven) a-holes in DA, but no one is suggesting human/dwarven genocide (aside from Solas). If anything, qunari genocide. The few examples of "good" qunari are all Tal-Vashoth, and nine out of ten Tal-Vashoth murderous marauders. Also, darkspawn genocide, if they count. Silver Warden (talk) 18:15, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
I know, I just got really really pissed over the ending of Trespasser and wanted to hurt him so badly. I also knew that something was wrong with him from the very beginning, the way he talked about spirits. Of course in the beginning I just thought that he was in league with the villain and would betray us in the end like Bishop in NWN2, Solas was just more obvious, I was actually pressurised when Bishop betrayed us.
And the Qunari, yes I really cannot trust them at all anymore after Bull just turned on us after a single word from that Qunari leader we were hounding. After everything we had been through. I actually thought I was helping him when I allowed the chargers to be sacrificed to he could stay in the qun. Still glad I took him with me, would not let him out of my sight after finding out about the qunari plot, and it really wasn't all that ridicule to kill that dragon without a tank, but dragons are in general very easy to kill.-rphb- (talk) 22:19, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, you definitely do not speak for everyone there.

I disagree with you that DA4 will end like ME3, for starters, a lot of people still haven't forgiven bioware for that, but most importantly, why end the series in that way, a way that has been tried before? Someone suggested a while back in a different forum that the series will end in a way which takes account of most of the major choices we have made throughout the series, and after playing through Trespasser a second time, I realized something. Whoever suggested that would be the case, is likely right. What will likely happen is this: In the final moments of DA4, every choice the player has made throughout the series will come to fruition, and that will change how the one ending plays out.

For example, if the OGB exists, Flemeth was able to pass her godly essence onto Morrigan, and fake her essence transferal to Solas by giving him the power of an old god's soul instead. Morrigan, while agreeing with Solas' goals, believes that he needs to be stopped because she is unwilling to lose her son. So she helps the Protagonist stop him. If the Inquisitor chose to stop Solas, they will end up doing just that, but by killing him, or attempting to in a way that's actually something really stupid. Solas has an Old God's soul in his possession, but he has realized this too late and now he knows that he can be corrupted by the blight, and become an archdemon, and in turn be made very dead by a warden. Which is what happens, they forced Solas to take the joining and he becomes an Archdemon, but before he can fly away, the new Protagonist who was made to take the joining in order to fulfill their role in this, or if the Inquisitor drank from the well Morrigan commands them to take the joining instead since she has "other" plans for you. Then whoever becomes a warden stabs him in the face. Boom, dead, and so is the new warden. End of that story. Solas is stopped. Through death, an explosive beamy death. Of course, the protagonist in the next game will still be able to influence what happens in the finale, so even if the above is the plan, you could let Solas know, and work with him instead.

  • OGB born & Inquisitor opts to stop Solas & Protagonist wants Solas stopped-> Morrigan becomes a goddess & Inquisitor allies with Morrigan -> Solas killed via an archdemon-esque slaying.
  • OGB not born & Inquisitor opts to stop Solas -> Morrigan is gifted the power to survive the veil collapse & Allies with Solas -> Attempts to stop Solas fail and the veil is collapsed (If friends or in Romance with Solas the Inquisitor is given enough to time to see out the collapse with their loved one)
  • MorriWarden Lovechild born -> Morrigan doesn't ally with Solas.

I can see the series ending in a way like that, not Solas becoming an archdemon or anything, but the choices made shaping the way the finale plays out. What pieces of the puzzle are needed. What allies you have available. That sort of thing. With Patrick Weekes helming the writing team, I can't see him doing an ME3 starchild ending. We've made some really important choices in this game, if it's gonna end with DA4, lets have it end making us go "Oh damn. I shouldn't have made that choice in Origins". Just an alternative idea to the, no offence, really boring ME3 starchild ending idea for DA. DeakialSig1 13:41, October 22, 2015 (UTC)
