Amazing theorizing here!

@@JackdawYT Thanks!

I am absolutely CERTAIN they are gonna do a bait and switch (like they did in inquisition), but what... I dunniq.

I am pretty sure that Jackdaw is right about OGs being parts of Mythal and I think they act as seals to Titans. Remember that it was Mythal that defeated them. Killing them all prob would release the blighted titan too and that would be bad. Mythal/Flemeth can care only about revenge as far as we know it. We like to think of her as a positive character but she was shattered and never was crystal clear to begin with. She may crave vengeance so much that she wants elven gods dead no matter the cost.

@@Arekanae I think mythal can still care about the people and seems to, but vengeance is the primary drive.

Shieet.... that actually makes sense. Mythal managed to kill one, so it's possible.

There’s actually elven murals with similar depictions in it with elves surrounding a titan with an orb-like structure in the chest of a titan

@@haileydetterich8260 Yep, exactly. :) Oooh, I can't wait for the next game! The glimpses from the teaser suggest we'll actually meet a titan.

I always had the impression that when the last og is killed, it will drive the darkspawn mad, just like the mother. Perhaps the architect even knew that, and was trying to prevent the worst scenario, but that's just a guess.

@@gaguiar Not all darkspawn go mad when the calling is severed from them. Perhaps the darkspawn will gain sapience when the og are slain. We also know that the black city has seven gates and the mural from the dreadwolfrises trailer shows the red lyrium idol locked in something surrounded by tiny spheres. Two of them are still bright while the rest are grayed out. There have been 5 blights and two ogs are remaining. Perhaps they are keys that'll open the black city and unleash the true blight within.

Well, that's concerning the "process" which the architect uses to make them sapient (or not). But it doesn't mean that the same will happen if the calling just stopped by itself. Nonetheless, I didn't say it was the only possible consequence. Surely there will be much to be seen on DA4. I just hope o can punch (and kiss) my dear stupid egg soon

Maybe not mad - though some will absolutely go mad - but now without that purpose. Free to decide what they want to do. Which is very unlikely to be staying in the deep roads. They will be capable of more advanced tactics. And they seem to hate everything that isn't tainted - the architect thought the only road to peace was to blight everyone as well as to free the darkspawn from the calling.

Effectively with no more old gods we are at very least looking at an unending blight. The hunting for the old god is a respite... not the cause.

I honestly expect one or the other of them has gotten to Weishaupt too, but my money was on Serani.

Don't say that 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭

@@luizpaulonm . Yes, I want to see an ending to this story, especially when they took 7-8 years to release the next entry.

@@SeventhheavenDK I agree with you and it hurts.

Or a Gryphon Age, but yes, that would be cool 😊

Given this precedent that DA4 took forever since DAI, I'd rather want to see it end sooner before I die

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

@@JackdawYT To be honest. I'm not even sure the writters have a precise idea on this, I get the impression that they shape the lore progressively depending on what they need for a game in particular (maybe I'm wrong) and I could imagine P. Weekes watching your video (because he does) and thinking "Man, that's a f****g good idea ! ^^ ****

1. The Hero must return. The red lyrium growth must be stopped, and only the cure can do it. This would also give the Hero a legitimate reason for being uninvolved with the main plot to stop Solas for the rest of the game. The Hero could be working with others off-screen to neutralize the red lyrium growths all over Ferelden and Orlais. But I agree the Hero should make an in-game cameo appearance. 2. I think it's more likely Mythal slew a titan to gain its power for herself, and to stop it from destroying the elvhen creations. There is a message stating that the elvhen praised Mythal for defeating a titan that was shaking their structures. As for why the evanuris killed Mythal, it's anyone's guess. Flemeth's Fade world if Kieran carried the soul of Urthemiel shows statue representations for Falon'Din and Dirthamen, with a sword through Dirthamen's back. So that might indicate that the brothers were involved in Mythal's murder. Elgar'nan probably sanctioned the assassination, but couldn't bring himself to do it. As for why, my guess is that Mythal was unfaithful to Elgar'nan, and perhaps Solas was the one she cheated with. Flemeth remarks that Mythal was betrayed as she was betrayed. Flemeth's tale involves some infidelity, so maybe that's the case with Mythal as well. Flemeth and Solas seemed a little too buddy-buddy, and Mythal's temple had Fen'Harel statues. 3. No. The darkspawn are said to avoid the sound of the titans. Also, Urthemiel's prison was found around the general area of the titan in The Descent, not within the titan. 4. More likely they're an early experiment gone wrong, perhaps of the Neromenians, the ancestors of the Tevinters. It's possible the grey liquid was involved. 5. Flemeth spoke to Sandal, confirmed by Sandal himself. If he had held such a soul, Flemeth would have come for it already.

@@BelieveIt1051 Hey thanks for replying. #3 In a Dragon avatar the Titan song might be different. (just speculating). I thought the fifth blight burst out from the Korcari wilds which is far from the Storm Coast. #4 I said that due to the Kossith having the same ears as elves. #5 Yes I am aware Sandal and Flemeth met from Sandals comment to Hawke in DA2. If Sandal does have an old god soul it may be unwilling to leave Sandal and is a match for a weakened Mythal in Flemeth.

@@phonic0photon Sure thing. I like discussing Dragon Age. 3. Possible, but the darspawn would still have to dig through the titan and face any sha-brytol. The 5th Blight did first appear in the Kocari Wilds, but the Archdemon was moving underground. We first spot it in the flesh in the Deep Roads right before we meet the Legion of the Dead. So it's possible for the Archdemon to be near Orazammar while still commanding its troops in the Wilds. 4. I think it's been speculated for a while that qunari are mixed with elves, though I think people mainly based it on the fact that Tevinters owned elven slaves as well as qunari. I always thought the qunari having pointed ears made no sense. Sten had round ears. So you could be right. Maybe BioWare gave them pointed ears after the fact because they wanted to link them to the elves. 5. Eh. I don't know. I always thought Sandal was just touched, and that he was able to kill many darkspawn using special runes he made. Every since The Descent, I've thought maybe Sandal established a connection with a titan.

@@BelieveIt1051 I, too, took Sandal as being just as he appeared. I sort of changed my mind when on another DA channel they speculated he may be more. When I played trespasser I did not give much thought to the codex mentioning him found at one of the ruins, then after listening to that presentation I began dwelling on how a Dwarf enchanter supposedly without magic could activate an Eluvian (Could an enchanted rune be a key?). But then again Solas did say Briana controlled a section of the Eluvian network which I thought she used an elf mage or may herself have magic to open it. I am probably reading way too much into it, but still ponder how a touched savant could know what an Eluvian was.

@@phonic0photon Well, an eluvian can be opened by anyone with the correct key or phrase. That's why the Viddasala was having all those various items studied. Sandal could have activated such a key, or his own thoughts might have been recorded in the Shattered Library similar to how Varric's ideas for the Hard in Hightown ending are recorded.

Also, a recurring theme in DA is music and songs. The veil itself is a sound frequency. There’s one codex on that theory. Titans sing through lyrium and Old Gods sing through the blight. If you piss off a Titan, perhaps their song changes and when that happens, their blood becomes blighted? It’s the wrong song. I think Cole mentions that. And then there’s the thing about the Chant of Light. The Maker will apparently forgive everyone when the Chant is sung across all 4 corners of Thedas. Fixing the song might stop the blight? Ahhhh my brain

Uhhhh and FYI, Flemeth/Mythal can “call” to OGB Kieran in his dreams.......WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN, JACK!?!! 🤣

Oof one more thing. Remember the Gates of Segrummar (?) in The Descent? Someone was using blood magic to create seals to lock something away and actually sacrificed their child to do so. What if the Old Gods are being used as seals? Perhaps they were put to sleep and arranged across Thedas inside Titans to hold back the void? Who they are or how that all came to be...I got nothin. Maybe the Evanuris weren’t as evil and crazy as Solas made them out to be and they killed Mythal specifically to stop the blight from destroying everything. And that would go with your theory that Mythal was fragmented and a piece of her was locked inside each Old God. Ok, I should go.

I agree with you. I think that was both a strength and weakness of DAI. Our knowledge was much advanced from origins and DA2 but at the possibility of it being less than satisfying ie the ancient elves are behind everything.

Aww thank you so so much! That means a lot to me! Thank you!

Very good idea! I'd love to see him again too!

I absolutely expect this to happen.

I let the Architect go so he could continue his research

I'll be delving into that when I talk about the Dwarven Kingdoms. Sandal is a long time coming topic for sure!

Either Orlais, revisited since we didn't see enough of it in DA:I, or the Dwarven Ambassadoria in Minrathous.

And, as always, great video, man! Keep up the good work for ✌😀

Or the 'dark sides' / Avatars of the trapped gods, but connected, yes.

It'd be completely different honestly. Being banished in lower thedas and the silence at the anderfels would have it spread massively Bioware wouldn't do a warden main character again so your character won't be the one to end it The whole of thedas have forgotten, and even the 5th blight most of thedas don't even believe it was a blight And with every other apocalypse going on in thedas it would be an additional plot point Your character would have to save the world despite the bought, fighting solas who would no doubt be thriving on the chaos that is taking attention off him and his plans

I am hoping they rescue an old god before it can be blighted.

Yeah there could be something into that, it'd be interesting to know if the DA writers had full drawn out plans for what caused what right at the start or if they've been changing it as they go

@@Soutar3DG I'm certain they didn't have everything hammered out ten years ago, but they definitely did have some major plot twists set up early. It's kind of a trope in these large stories. What caused the first Blight for example? Well in DA:O everyone knows what the chantry says and the story goes along with it but there are lots of doubts and questions that don't get answered. I doubt the writers had Solas in mind then, so they (like many wtiters) left that part vague to circle back to. Done well, it works like revealing who Solas is, and when it doesn't you just know.

Thanks, will do!

You think Solas is worse than the Darkspawn? Or by 'bigger bad' do you just mean stronger/harder to defeat?

@@AgentZ46 yes and yes

@@TheRoguePrince0 Most of the darkspawn are mindless monsters who only destroy everything in their path, when they're not kidnapping women and turning them into broodmothers. Solas is an enemy undeniably but has a reason for what he's doing and if you've earned his respect dreads what he's about to do. Darkspawn have no remorse or regrets. Like or hate Solas it just doesn't sound right to say he's worse than the darkspawn.

@@AgentZ46 the darkspawn are the lesser evil and sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

@@TheRoguePrince0 Tell me Why they're a lesser evil. In terms of morality why is Solas worse?

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

You like? xD

that would be epic. godly fights

Rogue XB because EA shit.

It's coming for sure!

I'm afraid that's the trouble with most speculative and theory based content, you're always at risk of it potentially being true and ruining the surprise when the game does come out.

@@JackdawYT yeah, maybe a a nice way to do it would be to (in this series) leave the speculations for the end of the video. Just a idea tho :)

FOR REAL! XD
