whose optional death do you think will be retconned next? Calpernia? or do mean, death we saw on screen? I don't know if that one even counts as a retcon, given that Bioware (probably deliberately) created a scene where it's fairly plausible she didn't die. (Especially if Tevinter mages can cast Feather Fall.) I mean, Anders really should have died, and we're explicitly told Samson's dead... but we can't really be sure Calpernia's meant to be dead.

2) But anyway, it is worth noting that selling the Dalish scroll to the Chantry doesn't involve murdering anyone. The worst you can say about it is that you're stealing stuff that rightfully belongs to the Dalish: it's from a Dalish ruin, so it probably should go to the Dalish. So I wouldn't say it's quite as evil as murdering Genitivi. 2) Eh, yeah. It could be seen as that. +1 for the Chantry then? So much about bias...  (Not your's, the writing's.) Scratch that, I have reconsidered, it is evil. Murdering Genitivi kills one man, a lead propagandist essentially, but not irreplaceable.
Gving the Dinan'Hanin scroll to the Chantry gives them a damn good tool for furthering Dalish genocide.
- If Merril's eluvian was completed in Da2 (didn't one the writers say it was bad idea on twitter?)
Objectively speaking, her Eluvian could end up connected to the network which is now controlled by Wolfie, who seems to have some sort of master key (Merrill did not know that an Eluvian requires some sort of key). The question is, what could that specific Eluvian allow to happen that dozens of others could not?
Subjectively speaking... of couse, anything to do with Dalish since DAI is "bad". That's a trend of writer bias which I hope does not return in DA4, though I do not hold my breath.
I had a World-State where I handed Anders over to the templars after the battles at Vigil's Keep. That should have prevented most of the story over the last few games from occurring. Although I guess that's not as egregious? Nobody so much as told me Anders was dead... Anyway, whose optional death do you think will be retconned next? Cauthrien's? (Actually, I wouldn't mind: I get the feeling a lot of players don't like her, but I personally do.) Well, as long as we do not see him die...  Leliana drew more ire because she can die on screen, by the player's hand, same for Cauthrien. Though I have no idea what kind of business the latter would have in the upcoming content. Heck, Fenris and even Merrill have got mor reason to be around. But some crackpot theories solely focus on the former.

Oh but that's the thing. Since she more or less regrew the eluvian using a shard from DAO's Dalish origin, it is more likely that it connects to wherever Tamlen went (an underground city?). Although it is possible that that specific eluvian was redirected away from its usual network by an as of yet unknown (and likely blighted) force. Or it could connect to Solas's portion of the crossroads as you said.

Gving the Dinan'Hanin scroll to the Chantry gives them a damn good tool for furthering Dalish genocide. I see the point. But on the other hand, is anyone going to die due to the Chantry getting that scroll who wasn't already going to die?I'd thought you said the Dalish Keepers we meet in Inquisition were a whole lot more reasonable than the ones we'd met previously? (Sorry for dropping out of that conversation the way I did, btw.) As for the eluvian... xerrai , are you sure you remember a writer saying the mirror was a bad idea? The closest thing I can find was Mary Kirby saying that Marethari had been manipulated by the demon the whole time... which explains a lot, but isn't the same thing. Edit: Never mind, I think I tracked it down. Laidlaw apparently said it was "a bad call" at Pax East in 2013, and didn't go into why. If I had to guess, I'd say it provides Solas a way into the Kirkwall Alienage? Given that his support base is elven, I think I can see how he could make our lives more interesting with that resource. Anyway, I think I need to go edit my "metagamed for worst outcomes" Keep World-State. I personally don't think Leiliana's is as bad as these others, because that wasn't actually retconned. The game acknowledges you made the choice, and while it doesn't have exactly the impact a lot of the players wanted, it has an impact. If you killed Leiliana in DA:O, then the Leiliana you see in DA2 and Inquisition isn't the same person the Warden killed... maybe literally, since we're not actually sure what happened there. Now, Anders showing up in DA2 as a Warden, if you handed him over to Rylock instead of putting him through the Joining? Samson showing up in Inquisition even though Cullen assures you he didn't live to see the end of DA2? Genitivi showing up in The Dread Wolf Rises even if your Warden killed him (which we all know is coming?) Cauthrien showing up in a later game even if you killed her (which honestly might happen at this rate?) I find those unsatisfying because the game doesn't even seem to acknowledge there's something funny going on there. (I wouldn't complain as much about Cauthrien, because I like her, but again: that would be a bit jarring.)

Honestly, if they're gonna keep bringing back characters the player potentially killed (which I would prefer they didn’t), I'd prefer a blatant retcon, rather than have the writers constantly doing backflips to justify it in the story.
I don't approve of resurrecting characters generally. I think death should be a hard limit. There's no point killing anyone at all if you can just undo it anytime you feel like.

Or it could connect to Solas's portion of the crossroads as you said. "City underground" with something "black"... I took it as that Eluvian was connected to the Deep Roads in some way. Some people theorise it could be a piece of Arlathan or the Fade City buried underground. Could be Darkpspawn-infested and used by them as a portal, but I guess the DS in the Brecilian forest could also have come there from the south. I think we also don't know if Tamlen passed the Eluvian at all, instead of being just ghoulified, but that's the only clue Merrill has. Scratch that, I have reconsidered, it is evil.

No need to add more fuel to the fire regardless.
Is anything going to be worse off if Genitivi kicks the bucket? I guess not.
2) That does not change the fact that we mostly get voices who are more than just disparaging towards them, plus the Minaeve BS, plus that one infamous Cassandra dialogue, plus things like this lil' "beauty" of a series of exchanges between a City elf and a Dalish at Skyhold.
Dalish Elf: You see it, right? How the Inquisitor is representing us?
City Elf: You’re overstepping. Our direction has been solidly Andrastian.
Dalish Elf: That is what you believe.
City Elf: Why aren’t more of the Dalish asking about the Chant?
Dalish Elf: It is very nice, but it’s not our way.
City Elf: Look who you’re following.
Dalish Elf: I follow the Inquisitor.
Dalish Elf: More of us are joining. We could teach you our ways.
City Elf: I like your food. You can keep your ways.
Dalish Elf: Won’t you keep an open mind? After all, look who you’re following.
City Elf: I know who I’m following. The Herald of Andraste.
Dalish Elf: Who is an elf.
City Elf: That’s how we know Andraste has blessed us.
Dalish Elf: You mean how “She” chose one of the elvhen because “even one of us” can be “worthy”? Don’t you see how patronizing that is?
City Elf: Adding letters to “elf” doesn’t make your point. I believe She’s with us. Prove She’s not.
Dalish Elf: That’s not how it works.
City Elf: Convenient for you.
City Elf: I don’t know how you can look at all this and not believe.
Dalish Elf: I could say the same.
City Elf: But it just makes sense.
Dalish Elf: And I could say the same.
[After What Pride Had Wrought]
Dalish Elf: Your Chant doesn’t cover such things. It’s all right to admit that.
City Elf: You can’t know. She has always shown us the way. Just because an elf found that temple…
Dalish Elf: A place of our people, led by one of our people.
City Elf: Perhaps. Perhaps your old ways are not what we thought.
City Elf: Will you be coming to the readings? After what happened, I just assumed.
Dalish Elf: After the destruction of a holy place?
City Elf: No, the triumph of holy action. Isn’t it grand?
Dalish Elf: No. No, it isn’t.
Dalish Elf: What do you think allowed the triumph at the temple?
City Elf: I’m not listening.
Dalish Elf: One of our own entered, and one of our own emerged. The old ways remain.
City Elf: Heretics and demons. That’s all that was.
City Elf: You’re welcome, you know. You’ve always been welcome.
Dalish Elf: It’s a lot to think about. So much has happened.
City Elf: Glorious things. In Her name. Like the temple, the more we find, the more She triumphs.
Dalish Elf: Perhaps. Perhaps the old ways are not what we thought. I mean, after this prick Stockholm victim of City elf passive-aggressively trying to denounce the Dalish's belief the whole time while the Dalish defends herself, only for her to suddenly turn around in the end? Apart from the obvious writer bias, it doesn't even make sense! DAI has tons of these "The Dalish are so old-fashioned and outdated, why don't they just roll over and convert to praise His glory?" moments.
3) Eh, so that message is apparently older than DAI. Give me some salt. Besides, Bioware employee or not, sometimes they have things which don't make an awful lot of sense. Gaider's "no atheists in Thedas!!!" comment comes to mind. Apart from the pretty unfortunate implications (especially given Gaider's apparently pretty andrastian-restricted view on the setting), what does he think the Qunari are? They don't have gods.
4) Can I still wish for Genitivi to at least be not outright confirmed? I hope they can at least keep this amount of sense. But I missed the Anders as a Warden part, yes. If not, his reason for coming to Kirkwall is still valid, but not the whole "Warden maps" and "Bethany/Carver survival chance" things. And Legacy.

1) Uhm, what? Now you appear deliberately dense. I would not be willing to risk that. No need to add more fuel to the fire regardless.
Is anything going to be worse off if Genitivi kicks the bucket? I guess not. Genitivi will be appreciably worse off. I'm not saying his work won't help the Chantry, just that I don't think anyone's likely to die for Genitivi surviving who wouldn't have died anyway. I guess there's a chance Genitivi's death will save more than one life somewhere down the road, but how much of one? And is that small chance really worth killing someone over?I see your point.True. But I don't think that's what Laidlaw did there. I think Laidlaw said fixing the eluvian was a bad call, and didn't explain why he said it, because he knows spoilery things about where this plot thread is going. I think he either knows that Solas is going to use it to sneak people in and out of Kirkwall's Alienage, or knows that it connects to someplace that should have been left isolated. (And the latter would explain a lot, honestly.)I guess so? But be aware that you might be disappointed. 4) Can I still wish for Genitivi to at least be not outright confirmed? I hope they can at least keep this amount of sense. But I missed the Anders as a Warden part, yes.

But like Buckeldemon said: this wouldn't explain the maps, or how he managed to talk Stroud into saving Bethany or Carver.

I think up stream, Gervaise pointed out that Awakening was completely ignored. Do any of the problems exist if Awakening didnt happen? Most of them get solved.

That is a good use of the keep. I've looked up my 10 different world state they aren't so different after all. I hoped for big chances between them, but infect it was just talking.

Do any of the problems exist if Awakening didnt happen? Most of them get solved. You forget that in awakening you have anders join the warden (not in the keep [bad]), the architect died or live, Velanna fade (choice Architect and what protected), nathaniel dead or alive. What i remember now, in awakening the new warden from orlaise is a good use of the keep as well. i think awakening and DA2 use the keep, but not well enough. i hope DA4 make it better.

So the Keep is no more but we have the options of some of the previous choices. I would say they left many things from Keep out. So my guess would be: DAO: Who was the Hero of Ferelden (race, gender, origin and class. Perhabs maybe even the name) Fate: Alive or Dead Romance if yes who DAO Companions Fate of Sten, Zevran, Shale, Loghain, Alistair and maybe even Leliana? Does Kieran exist? Who rules over Orzammar? (Harrowmont should finally dead at this time but Bhelen not) Who rules over Ferelden? That´s it for DAO i kinda wish or wanted to add are Gammen and Gheyna are couple, what happened to DAO dalish and or werewolves or if Warden has helped Bevin but sorry not important enough DAA: Fate of the Architect, Nathaniel, Velanna, Oghren and maybe even Sigrun?
DA2:Hawke (class, gender and DAI fate) romance if so who Companions Fate of Bethany, Carver, Fenris, Merrill and Anders Fate: Feynriel, DA2 Arishok and crazy thinking on my part Javaris DAI:Who was the Inquisitior (gender, race and class) Romance if so who? (Friends with Dorian, Solas and Varric?) Fate of Calpernia? Who rules over Orlais? Who drank from the Wells of Sorrows? Grey Warden exiled or allies? Who is Divine? Fate of the Iron Bull, Cullen and Blackwall? Fate of the Inquisition
Stop Solas at all costs or attempt to redeem Solas? |

My major concern is 'whether the stop solas at all costs or attempt to redeem solas' is even going to be in this game as a choice.
That intro trailer seemed very much, let's whitewash Solas. So is weekes really going to allow us to kill him.

If this really matter in actual game well this is a totally different question.

So the Keep is no more but we have the options of some of the previous choices. I would say they left many things from Keep out. So my guess would be: DAO: Who was the Hero of Ferelden (race, origin and class. Perhabs maybe even the name) Fate: Alive or Dead Romance if yes who DAO Companions Fate of Sten, Zevran, Shale, Loghain, Alistair and maybe even Leliana? Does Kieran exist? Who rules over Orzammar? (Harrowmont should finally dead at this time but Bhelen not) Who rules over Ferelden? That´s it for DAO i kinda wish or wanted to add are Gammen and Gheyna are couple, what happened to DAO dalish and or werewolves or if Warden has helped Bevin but sorry not important enough DAA: Fate of the Architect, Nathaniel, Velanna, Oghren and maybe even Sigrun?
DA2:Hawke (class, gender and DAI fate) romance if so who Companions Fate of Bethany, Carver, Fenris, Merrill and Anders Fate: Feynriel, DA2 Arishok and crazy thinking on my part Javaris DAI:Who was the Inquisitior (gender, race and class) Romance if so who? (Friends with Dorian, Solas and Varric?) Fate of Calpernia? Who rules over Orlais? Who drank from the Wells of Sorrows? Grey Warden exiled or allies? Who is Divine? Fate of the Iron Bull? Stop Solas at all costs or attempt to redeem Solas? I would think that, from Dragon Age 2, Isabela would be the most likely to appear, but I don't remember if there is any important choice in the game regarding her, besides being in a romance or not but if these are the choices that we get to make to determine our world state in the next game, that would be good, but I don't think we will be getting too many options from DA:O and DA2  really hoping I'm wrong

Also the fate of DAO Mabari or Wynne because of what´s the pont? I left out a lot of the Keep choices. For me those i listed are the most important ones. The Keep and more the previous games alone had way more choices.

DAO: Did they befriend their companions Was the Dark Ritual performed If not, who diedI DA2: Did they befriend their companions DAI: Fate of the Mage-Templar War I am curious why do you think that those ones are important to be checked? We play a new hero aka Rook and the Warden plus Hawke won´t show up so why does the friendship matter? Also is a extra tile for the deaths of the not performing of Dark Ritual really necessary? This seem redundant to me. The Fate of the Mage-Templar War i mean regardless who we chose does this one really matter? It went back to basic. Thanks this big one should better in my list.  Lets hope that there are atleast one or two. Only choices about the major characters would be boring.

If the Dark Ritual was not performed, did they die killing the Archdemon? Or did Alistair or Loghain? As for Mage-Templar War, there could be flavor text or something from Tevinter or others reacting to how the war went. |

Mainly if people talk about the Hero of Ferelden. Only with Sten or perhabs Shale / Zevran could this matter but i think they stay neutral if they are talking about the Hero of Ferelden. And this would be only one line or so.
Why not chosing this in Alistair or Loghain tile. Or in even shorter Alistair / Loghain fate: Dead or Alive because i highly doubt that its really matters after 20 years who killed the Archdemon.
And same argument here why should this matter after that many years?

We have a Hrey Warden companion and can possibly play a Grey Warden ourselves. Grey Wardens from centuries ago are still remembered. We are going to Weisshaupt. It’ll come up at least once. Sure it can be part of their tiles. I was just going as basic as possible. I’d love for there to be more detail. |

The Well Choice.
The Warden Choice.
Who rules Orlais and the Divine Choice MIGHT get referenced.
What happened during Josephine's personal mission given she is back in Antiva in a lot of the endings.
Stuff invovling Dorian and Bull.
Stuff involving Blackwall.
And the friendshipnometer between the Inquisitor and Solas.
