I think it would be difficult for them to do a direct plot continuation with Morrigan because of how people's playthroughs vary. For example, I have seen two very different endings in my playthrough and neither of them were the one you're describing. :cool:

It sounded very much so that it was a to be continued. Of coarse that may also vary on peoples different story choices... especially if you chose not to impregnate her. The only thing I can see possible to allow people to actually continue their story would have to be when you create your character and choose basically where you left off in the first one. That would also be a lot of work as the story of each would be different in so many ways with the race and then such as if you supposedly died at the end of the first one. Well I hope they do a continuation... if not I'll hope for good mods :biggrin:

You could import a save.

 

 

That's what they are doing with Mass Effect 2, I wouldn't bat an eyelash if they did the same with Dragon Age though there's more endings in DA then in ME..

Yes DA has an ambundance of ending possabilities not to mention it appears to be much more advanced then ME in just about everyway.

 

I do believe that things will pickup from your last save. At the end of my game I still had the love affair with morrigan and vowed to find her, I had also managed to keep my love affair going with leliana despite having kept morrigan and marrying Anora.

 

So I left off telling Anora that I would leave to find morrigan and I took leliana with me. life in DA is good :)

... What?

 

 

And as far as i know there are only 3 endings in DA like in ME

 

You impregnant Morrigan

You dont, you die

You dont, Alistair die

 

And do you need to kill Flemeth to get the baby ending?

If you're going to collapse Alistair and Loghain's endings into one generic "you didn't die" ending, then why aren't you doing the same for Mass Effect?

There's a lot more difference between 'Sacrificing Alistair' and 'Sacrificing Loghain' than there is between 'letting the council die' and 'letting the council die'.

 

More to the point, the only real difference between all of Mass Effect's endings is who you're taking orders from. The implications of Dragon Age's endings are a lot more personal.

 

DA also offers a lot more diversity in who you'd be taking orders from.

 

Who is queen?: Anora; Female Human PC; No one

Who is king?: Squishy Alistair; Hardened Alistair; Dead Alistair; Male Human PC; No one

Who's running the Dwarves? Behlen; No one because Harrowmont is dead; Dwarf Noble PC because Harrowmont is dead

 

And a whole heck of a lot of other things to consider, whereas the only significant considerations for ME2 were "Which teammates died, and who's running the citadel?"

Dragon age does have a lot of little things to consider but I dont see that being a major problem to importing a save file. If we take morrigan as an example there are a no major stumbling blocks about re-introducing her...

1) hey your the grey warden, I remember when you drove me away during the first/second/third act of the origional game. I think you suck but the story says I join your party because we have a common enemy/goal.

 

2) hey your the grey warden, I remember liking/hating/loving you, I ran away at the end of the game because you didnt want to enter into a dark pact but now the story says I join your party because we have a common enemy/goal.

 

3) hey your the grey warden, I remember liking/hating/loving you, I saved your life at the end of the last game and ran away but now the story says I join your party because we have a common enemy/goal.

 

etc etc etc

 

It can be seen as something of a cop-out but most of the story choices could be explained away by swapping dialogue options, particularly if the game is set in another part of the world and you dont have to actually spend a lot of time right up close to all the choices you made. Most could be explained away with no more than passing comment about what happened and how it applys to the current situation. Assuming they keep the origins starting system then that could be used to explore the choices made in the first game - you could choose to start the game as the monarch of ferelden, the leader of the grey wardens, a new charachter because the old one died... and so on.
