Line 337:
=== Maric is alive ===
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20100906013813/http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/47/index/174084/2 His fate is described as being lost at sea], a classic literary technique to keep a character out of the way until the writer wants to being him back in the action.
** [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Maric#Death According to the Dragon Age Wiki,] rumor has it that Maric is alive and being held in an Orlesian prison. Many signs point to Orlais being the setting of Dragon Age III . . .
** {{spoiler|Hinted at in The Silent Grove! He was actually in an Antivan prison but was broken out by a Witch of the Wilds.}}
Line 478:
I should probably rephrase that they * might* , but a lot of your personal decisions won't make a difference. I'm ''really really really'' hoping I'm wrong, but everything seems to indicate that. Besides the incredibly short amount of time in between this game, and the new game (February 2011), Awakening ignored an obvious decision: whether your character sacrificed themselves. Besides that, the obvious [[Sequel Hook]] of the God Baby...if they choose to be faithful to your decision, you'd think a ''gigantic'' plot element would be missing. Then there's Eamon's foreshadowing of Connor, if you didn't kill him: that's another plot point they'd have to ignore if they allowed your decisions to carry through. I know they did this for ME, but the decisions of [[Mass Effect]] 1 aren't as phenomenally important as they are in [[Dragon Age]]. Perhaps this can be avoided by the game occuring in a different country (who cares who's king of Orzammar when you have Kal-Sharok! Who cares about the Ferelden Circle when you can visit Orlais' Circle! Who cares if you're Queen of Ferelden, when you can be the Empress's kid! I have a strong feeling the next game will occur in Orlais.), but that's just a different way of ignoring your decisions: by making them unimportant.
* This troper is inclined to believe that the game will allow a partial transfer, the same as the Awakening, with a few most major choices pre-written, but a few others still free to change, along with your stats and appearance, ofcourse.
* This has been Jossed by [[Word of God]]; [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/141/index/3153797/1#3154321 you ''will'' be able to trasnfer your Origins and Awakening saves to Dragon Age 2]{{Dead link}}, although who knows what choices you made will truly have any effect...
=== Hawke will have a grudge against the Gray Wardens ===
Line 740:
=== Alistair isn't the last of Maric's kids. ===
Think about it: we know that either Alistair was lied to about his parentage, or Maric has another bastard running around out there. And who do we meet, but a guy who's a mage (like the mother of the possible unknown baby), has a similar sense of humor to both Alistair and Maric, and [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb21710/common/skins/common/blank.gif looks] suspiciously like [http://journal.wheel-of-games.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cailan_330x280.png Cailan]{{Dead link}} and [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb21710/common/skins/common/blank.gif Alistair]?
Hell, for bonus points, check out [http://social.bioware.com/project/2754/ Anderstair], Alistair with Anders' hair.
