About Corypheus (Absolution spoilers)

I've only finished watching DAA now, but why would Meridith want a crusade against Tevinter?
And if the figure behind her is Andruil, then why would she want one against Tevinter too?

I would like to point out, as I did in the Who is the Dreadwolf thread, that Meredith and Corypheus have defiant stances facing toward the Dreadwolf head in that image. I actually think we will have to team-up with them in some way in DAD.

Please no, I'd rather team up with the Dread Wolf than that. Honest, why bring them back? We had plenty of other interesting scenarios they could explore, including potential dodgy allies in the Executors. Bringing back former antagonists who ought to be dead is just getting boring now. It also constantly negates everything our previous heroes have done, particularly Hawke. That would be two for two if Meredith returns from the dead. Meanwhile, if they had that ending to DAI, where we sent Corypheus to the Fade, the one place he wanted to go, instead of destroying him outright, mean that he could come back, it just makes us seem even more holding the stupid ball. It was bad enough Solas popping up and revealing his master plan but reusing more old villains is bordering on ridiculous.

DEATH SHOULD MEAN DEATH.

On the other hand, if they are going to do that, let's go the whole hog and bring back all the dead heroes as well. Let's have Andraste and Shartan, Garahel and Calenhad, Tyrrda and Hafter. How about Koslun? Then we can ask him if the Qun was really is as he envisaged it?

Meanwhile, it is hardly surprising our nobody hero is someone "they never seen coming". Mind you, perhaps they will be a resurrected hero or a reincarnated one.

I don't mind Calpernia because her "death" was left ambiguous, even if the PC did decide to fight her, although they gave plenty of opportunity to avoid that. Plus, it would seem more people favoured the mage path over the Templar one, so never even got to meet her.

I wouldn't be surprised at the Architect because presumably he had the same trick to avoid death as Corypheus. It certainly didn't require a dragon because I'm fairly certain Cory acquiring his only happened after his fight with Hawke. With Corypheus in DAI, there was a big issue made about how we needed to discover a way to do it permanently and this seemed to have been supplied by Flemeth/her priesthood after the Well of Sorrows. However, I always thought it was odd how they managed that final confrontation, as though they did leave the way open for another return. I couldn't see the point, personally, because he was only ever Solas lite when it came to the threat he posed and with the Dread Wolf now established as the big bad, they should just leave Cory chilling in the Fade.

On the other hand, maybe that is where we will encounter him. Thinking about it, I've always felt that the plot will eventually involve us confronting the Dread Wolf in the Fade, so I suppose it is possible we might find Cory wandering around when we get there. I suppose it is even possible we will team up with Hawke/Warden who was left in the Fade as well. I would find that more acceptable than Cory re-appearing Thedas side, unless of course Solas succeeds in bringing down the Veil, in which case all manner of nasties might appear.

Another possibility I would entertain is a face off between Cory and Meredith. After all, he wanted to restore his beloved Imperium and she wants to utterly destroy it, so a confrontation between the two would likely be epic considering they will be evenly matched on the red lyrium front. Maybe our hero will just stand on the side-lines and sell popcorn.

I doubt they would do that when they can bring back Sten as Arishok instead.

Would make more sence to connect Cullen with finally killing Meredith than Varric but i also won´t want to use Cullen ever again because of the issues of his english!!! voice actor Greg Ellis. Maybe if Ellis won´t had went mad they would used him for the show in season 2 but this won´t happen either. But i would love to see Aveline and (yes crazy from me to say this i know i know  )  but also Varric because it would make sense that he would appear as Kirkwalls viscount.

I really hope not. They're already pushing it big time with M. being alive if Cory is alive then it would make a big chunk of Inquisition feel pointless.
Despite recent events I do believe that he is dead and gone.

Honestly, Bioware really needs to learn that the dead ought to stay dead.

The problem i had with Meredith and Corypheus what´s the point? Technically speaking you can maybe somehow even explain their return. Why the need for their return from a story point of view? Don´t they trust in Solas aka the Dreadwolf? Also Red Lyrium Meredith and especially Corypheus aren´t that well received in the fandom or from the professional critics. The last thing in building up the new threat of the Dreadwolf is bringing back the old and lame back. Also i don´t think that making them into secondary villians with their own agenda against the Dreadwolf will work. And as temp allies? This is crazy. Just because it might worked in the lastest Spiderman movie you don´t have to write a similiar story.

I just finished Absolution.

Dare I ask - What. The. Hell???

How many DA2 antagonists are we bringing back as main stars in follow up games? Someone call the Arishok and Orsino. They are bound to show up eventually too.

Hawke really didn't know how to clean house. And someone fetch me Varric. I suspect the little bastard didn't tell us everything he knows

The only one who won´t come back atleast if they won´t change her design is The Mother because if remember correctly 12 reasons? 

Something else to think about. If you sacrificed Hawke in Here lies the Abyss, maybe they are teaming up with Corypheus to get out of the Fade these days.

Corypheus: You are dealing with forces beyond your ken.

Hawke: Cory, what kind of Wicked Grace did they teach in your time? You are holding just two serpents. Calling your bluff. And if Varric asks, tell him we battled hordes of demons. Definitely don't mention we played cards waiting for a portal to emerge.
