Most people would like to know what kind of main character they’re going to get to play in Dragon Age 3. We’ve had a Warden. We’ve had Hawke. So there’s been discussions — will it be THE Warden again? Will it be a Warden? Will it be a Seeker? Here’s an idea for how to (maybe) make everyone happy — give us origin choices.
In the final issue of The Silent Grove, it’s all Alistair and Yavana for the conclusion. There’s some level of closure but the door is certainly left open to further exploration and adventure. As a whole, The Silent Grove helps to shed a bit of light on some of the “big picture” questions of Thedas about dragons and even some insight into Flemeth and her daughters, while continuing the story of everyone’s favorite Grey Warden.
When DA2 came out, we looked at the possibility of our Origins companions coming back for cameos. Now that DA2 is gone, we got some updates on the whereabouts of a couple of our original companions. So we’ll try to figure out who might be poised to come around in Dragon Age 3.
One group being built by the BioWare writers since Dragon Age 2 has been the Chantry’s Seekers of Truth. With Cassandra in Dragon Age 2, developments with Leliana’s character, their role in the book Asunder and the soon-to-be-released Dawn of the Seeker anime movie, they’re getting a lot of screen time. While a world with the mages, Templars and Chantry in turmoil, it seems logical that playing a main character as a Seeker might be a logical step. But while it sounds easy, it’s probably not a good idea.

With The Silent Grove #5 out, we’re winding down to the conclusion of this comic series. This penultimate comic is a little light on insightful new content to the story arc, although the meatiest section is concerning Isabela’s background, as we ready for the final issue.
Early in Dragon Age: Origins, the Warden and Alistair battle an ogre in the Tower of Ishal. Because the Warden is still a peon, it’s a tough battle. But one thing that struck me about that battle was the background music. Probably because I spent so much time running around that room avoiding the ogre and trying to sneak in a hit without getting flattened.
