If you had been following news about Dragon Age, maybe you have found out some fans criticized BioWare for Dragon Age II. According to the fans, DA2 was made too hastily and it was of many important elements. The same locations were used many times, enemies were cloned etc. In an interview published in the newest issue of GameInformer, Aaryn Flynn stated clearly that the team will not make the same mistakes again.
What do you think that DA3 needs to do differently?
Well, we definitely take the criticisms of Dragon Age 2 very seriously and into great consideration. We spent weeks and weeks poring over it and figuring out not only the mistakes we made but also what we had to do to really show fans that we'd heard it and were going to do better with DA3.
The philosophy we're going into DA3 is more like Origins than it is like Dragon Age 2. In DA2, we tried to stell a very intimate story. We did some good things but made some mistakies as well. With three, we're going back to a very grand and world-beating kind of story that has braod scope and epic things in it. Philosophically, once you do that, it helps define and dictate the decisions you make after that

![Dragon Age Wiki - The Old Gods
Old Gods are beings that were worshiped by a significant number of Thedosians, specifically the mages of the Tevinter Imperium, thousands of years ago. The mages worshiped them in the form of dragons. Legend holds that it was the Old Gods who initially taught mages how to use magic. It is widely believed (if not generally accepted as self-evident) throughout Thedas that the archdemons are the sleeping Old Gods, tainted and corrupted by the darkspawn.
In the days of the Tevinter Imperium, the Old Gods were a pantheon of deities widely revered by most citizens, with temples and priesthoods dedicated to their veneration, such as the acolytes of Dumat, who swore oaths of silence in homage to their lord[1]. The first magister, Archon Thalsian, accredited his discovery of blood magic to the Old God Dumat, and his power led to the foundation of the Tevinter Imperium. Dragon imagery and iconography was equated with Imperial power all throughout the Imperium. Holidays were popularly celebrated in tribute to the Old Gods, namely the Festival of Urthemiel, which spanned an entire week.
What the Old Gods actually are and their relation to the Maker is very mysterious. The Chantry teaches that the Old Gods were false deities. They turned mortals from worship of the Maker, recognized as the First Sin. As a result, the Maker imprisoned them underground. Their minds continued to roam the Fade like any other dreaming individuals mind would, and they were able to contact the Magisters and teach them to use magic in hope that the magisters might free them. It was for this reason that the magisters entered the Golden City in a failed attempt to usurp the Makers throne, inadvertently causing the First Blight.
The event of the First Blight led to a crisis of faith across the Imperium, shaken at the devastation their own god relentlessly championed. Several temples were razed by betrayed believers, slaughtering priests to the Old Gods as retribution for their unheeded prayers. Today, cults devoted to the Old Gods are rumored to still exist in some places, but the religion has since been for the most part replaced with the monotheistic worship of the Maker.
