So, with the mage/templar fight, some Orlesian plans to retake Ferelden, odd darkspawn behavior, the Qunari getting a lot of screen time, and Tevinter…y’know, existing, I have to ask:

Who do you think will be (or really, really want to be) DA3’s ultimate bad guy? HELO (talk) 15:16, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

For my part, I’m a fan of war with the Qunari. Mages and templars fight each other, but Qunari fight EVERYTHING. And when’s a better time to strike than when everyone’s looking the other way (that is, paying attention to the Chantry’s problems)? HELO (talk) 15:16, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

^^This. Mages vs Templars. Qunari vs Everything. Chantry trying to bring some semblance of order into the world, and behind the scenes, but looming like a shadow over the future, Flemeth ruining the Chantry.Diain (talk) 16:23, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, the possibilities are many. Another Arishok, or maybe of the other two, Arigena and Ariqun. We'd finally get some Qunari women. Dragon Age desperately needs a proper bad guy, but we already had the Arishok. Maybe the Empress of Orlais? Or one of the Divines, either the Orlais one or Tevinter. Speaking of the Tevinter, maybe the Archon or a group of the original Magisters of the Imperium. Another Old God or Flemeth? The leader of the Seekers maybe? Many choices. I just hope the one they'll make will be a right one. Henio0 (talk) 17:42, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

I would love to see the Qunari as an Ultimate antagonist. Have the Qunari be to Thedas what the Ottoman Empire was to Europe (At least during its early expansion years). Also, I would like to see a future game centered on the Qunari-Tevinter War, set in Tevinter, Seheron, and Par Vollen. The Protagonist being a Tevinter Magister, a Kossith/Qunari Warrior, and a Fog Warrior Rogue. The game would ultimately decide the conflict. Outcome 1: Tevinter Conquers the Qunari, Outcome 2:The Qunari conquer Tevinter, or Outcome 3: The Fog Warriors establish and secure their own independent state in Seheron (beating both the Qunari and Tevinter). That would be AWESOME! I do believe though that Flemeth is being built up as the True Villian of Dragon Age. Soren 4ever (talk) 18:03, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

The qunari aren't going to be the main antagonist, there will be a war between the orlais and tevinter chantries with the qunari increasing their offensive against tevinter while at the same time the chantry in orlais will collapse for whatever reason. Then at some point it will be revealed that a cliche evil master mind schemer is behind all the conflict...and I'm sure it will be related to the grey wardens somehow.174.45.9.40 (talk) 18:18, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

I would really love it if there were no cliched "ultimate" bad guy in the franchise. That's about all I'm going to say on the matter right now.--Isolationistmagi (talk) 19:21, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
