Aren't there only 2 Tevinter gods left? What happens after that? BioWare said they could (and would) make lots and lots of games in the Dragon Age world.

The Chantry's god goes crazy and sides with the Darkspawn? Crusade on the Qunari? Start off in Tevinter?

Its been stated numerous times that Old Gods --> Archedemon is what the Chantry says is happening, but its not necessarily true. Besides, there's a lot more to Thedas than blights, any of the nations in the setting could easily be the center of an interesting plotline. There's also the option of going back in the past.

Oh yeah hehe prequels.

I'm pretty sure that the Grey Wardens, as well as the game lore itself, say the Old Gods get corrupted by the Darkspawn underground and all that. I mean... how many giant dragons live underground, exactly?

Never mind all this lore nonsense, there is one vital question I don't believe has been asked. As the game is set in Orzammar, will we have a nug called Schmooples taking part?

What about Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon? He's a dwarf!

Most DAO lore = Chantry lore. The devs have said numerous times on the Bioware forums that its not necessarily true. Heck, the lore in DAO basically says Darkspawn are mindless, yet the expansion contradicts that.

Seconded!

The Grey Wardens said it too, though, and they're the closest to experts on the matter.

And I haven't even bought Awakening yet, so if you ruin it, I'll metagame you FO' EVA!

There will not be a nug character, no; they're docile animals that are unlikely to have any disposition towards attacking someone. However, it's possible that there might be a nug item...

I've largely completed the seventeen roles and their chosen alignments, it's now a case of adjusting abilities and STR/CON values, making sure personal goals are achievable within the limits of the game and thus one can reap the rewards of doing so before the game ends (none of this "your personal goal is to save X's life", though one character does have a Victory Condition that requires a player's survival) and so-on. Got to make sure that the mafia aren't obvious either. :P

Some of the roles are entirely new to the game, created by me as a means of keeping the storyline fresh and to make my own impact upon it, so among the Bhelens and Trians you'll see a few additions of my own. :3

Exactly, CLOSEST to experts :P

I did my best to keep it vague, I usually don't spoil stuff for people. What I said can be seen in the trailer, which everyone interested in Dragon Age should have already seen.

Relax, you didn't spoil anything.
