Speculation

The Sera thing is speculation, the phrasing even says "could be". It should not be included. It is not confirmed by any source.TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 20:24, January 27, 2019 (UTC)

I think that Dragon Age Wiki:Editing guidelines#Speculation should be taken into consideration here. The passage, “If there is a strong reason to add something related to upcoming releases, or that is not made explicit in the canonical works it must be accompanied by reliable sources,” in my personal opinion, seems to be applicable to this situation. If there is something in-game that is an explicit implication, or if a reliable source exists, I would like to see them brought up.

Then the June thing is legitimate too, as the small painted box is wooden too. Plus a puzzle box makes more sense as a toy for an elf, than a regular box. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 10:26, January 28, 2019 (UTC)

Please more closely read what I said. I am agreeing with you that this is indeed speculation & must be removed, unless there is a) a reliable source for it, or b) an implication for it that is explicit in the canonical works, in which case it is not speculation. If Virrac can show either to us, then I think we can keep it. If not, or if he does not respond, then I shall remove the trivia section per Dragon Age Wiki:Consensus#Consensus-building.

Sera says in Inquisition that she was a child in Denerim playing with small painted boxes and she also mention the fereldan Red Jennies, and given that the mision about that small painted box from DAO had relation with the Red Jennies is implied that she's talking about that same box. Also, Sera's mention about the box seems a callback created by Bioware to that specific mission. --Virrac (talk) 16:42, January 28, 2019 (UTC)

I'm with Virrac here. That line of dialogue is clearly refering to the quest in Origins. It would be a completely random remark otherwise. There is no ultimate proof, but the implication is very clear. I see no reason to assume that this isn't a callback to Origins. I think it's appropriate to leave it in.

Except she doesn't say small painted box, she just says she played with a box. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 21:20, January 28, 2019 (UTC)

She literally says "small painted box". She even mentions it while they are talking about the Warden. Here is a link to that exact conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBE184HdQTk There really isn't a lot of room for interpretation here. Warden Nuggins (talk) 21:45, January 28, 2019 (UTC)

She also can't remember the Hero of Ferelden despite it only being ten years ago. Boxes plural, not singular. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 21:54, January 28, 2019 (UTC)
