SPOILERS not sure if this is real or not read at ur own risk https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77587488/dai.zip Star Metal Knight (talk) 20:50, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Dunno if this is legit though, BUT WOW, this is not too too spoilerish but if you wanna go in without knowing too much, avoid it. Guys, you look at this at your own risk, so I'd avoid it. You can thank me later for taking the risk. More will probably be added anyways.:P 20:58, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Just checked it as well. I think anyone with Origin should be able to see this if this is legit - unless they have taken off them by this time, so questionable, but I'd lean towards legit myself. Anyway, nice catch I suppose. PS Lazare stop editing so quickly, this is the third time I can't send my own message without being told that someone edited this page. XD -- 20:59, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

D.E.A.L WIV IT MARGE :P 21:05, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Just to continue my line of thought here, hopefully without any interruption :P I just checked my own Origin, nothing is there. Is it available for those who have pre-ordered the game? Or those who have access to the Keep? (I'm guessing that too only because that's also tied to your Origin account.) I'm still inclined to believe it's legit, but there's a decent chance that it isn't. A confirmation from someone would be great nevertheless. -- 21:30, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

wow, I also hope this is real... but on a non-plot-spoiler note, anyone catch the end there about a multiplayer section? Warden Mage: Ferris (talk) 21:02, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Checked it out as well, mainly cause of the recently announced delay to November has got me in a funk and I wanted to learn more info about DA:I, lol. There's a few spoiler achievements here and there, but honestly, I didn't think they were that spoiler-ish, considering with how certain things occured/developed in the previous games. AVPen (talk) 21:10, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

I read through the titles and thought "Nothing all too interesting." Read the first one's description and thought "Little context." Read the second one and thought "Saw that coming." Read the third one and jumped back and shouted "WHOA!" out loud. . . . Now I'm nervous about going further. Take the blue pill, Neo! Primary Faction (talk) 21:41, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

That's the one that got me too..Warden Mage: Ferris (talk) 21:53, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Alright well, that's really the only spoiler. Other things I saw of interest was the multiplayer of course, and the "Fight Fire with Fire" achievement. So if you're hoping to avoid spoilers, just delete the image that details the third achievement. Everything else is either general or not surprising if you've been keeping up with Inquisition. Primary Faction (talk) 22:11, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

So...Now the only thing I can think of is HE is behind it all!--Jafrost21 (talk) 22:24, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

So wouldn't that mean it's Hawke's fault? Primary Faction (talk) 22:46, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

^ I suspect that BioWare is going to go the same route like they with how ME3 handled previous DLC, in that the events still occured but changed in some way without Shepard's involvement. In Corypheus's case, I'm guessing that he'll always have managed to break free of his confinement regardless of if Hawke is there or not, probably due to Janeka's attempts to release him. My own theory is that the major changes that'll occur in DAI if you played the DA2 Legacy DLC will be who exactly Corypheus has taken over (Larius or Janeka).... I also have to laugh a little at some of the people online who see this as a "massive" spoiler - if you played Legacy at all, there were so many hints and suggestions made in the game (including the final codex entry for the quest) that Corypheus wasn't dead and would return that I would've been shocked as all hell if he didn't show up in DAI. AVPen (talk) 23:09, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Bioware confirmed that whether you played the DLC or not, Hawke took part in the events that occurred. Primary Faction (talk) 00:02, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Link? Did they confirm that Hawke always took part in the events of Legacy DLC or was it that the events of Legacy always occur regardless of if the player played in in DA2 or not? AVPen (talk) 00:28, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I believe that "Hawke always took part in the events" rather than the other. And I'm sorry, I don't exactly remember the source. It might have been either Ashe's recent interview or the Raptr Q&A. Otherwise, I don't quite remember. Primary Faction (talk) 06:51, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't blame Hawke 'cause he was just finding a way to stop the attacks on him, if I was to blame anyone those would be the Grey Wardens for leaving unprotected their prison --Jafrost21 (talk) 23:16, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Interesting. If true, nice to see myself and a few other BSNers being proven right about Corypheus ;) Assembling the Chantry mothers also piqued my interest - perhaps we'll oversee the election of a new Divine? King Cousland | Talk   22:36, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

As did I!!!! Though it doesn't prove that he's the primary antagonist 23:29, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

My guess is that he would be involved in the Wardens' storyline (there is an achievement regarding them), but I doubt he's the "big bad" behind the current condition of Thedas. And this is, of course, assuming this rumor/leak is legit. DAWUSS (talk) 00:48, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Although I kind of suspected Corypheus as the person responsible, this still surprised me. I guess this means that the choice we make in Legacy in regards to who is possessed by him could have a large impact. This also confirms a theory I have been musing over for a time...the reason why the Warden and Hawke are missing ;) --110.23.2.251 (talk) 22:43, July 24, 2014 (UTC) Azure Eagle

Love the fact that we now have to get the courts approval, that's awesome. But like I said before, compared to other RPGs this isn't a lot of achievements so more are surely going to be added. 23:37, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

I also felt the achievements were very lacking and extremely general for the most part, especially when I saw there was only one achievement for romancing. Primary Faction (talk) 00:02, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

There was only one Achievement for romancing in DA2 as well (unless you count that Flirting achievement as well, in which case there are two). As it is, there are 50 Achievements in DAI according to that leaked list, which honestly is a fairly decent number of achievements. AVPen (talk) 00:16, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

They're not exactly difficult by the "sounds" of it. 50 is a reasonable amount, but for those who're going to be utterly dedicated to getting all of them, they'll probably have more in store. I've never had the impetus to gain achievements, they came naturally when I played, but there are those gamers who solely focus on such things after their first playhtrough. 02:44, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I doubt this is all of them. It wasn't very many. Also, I never really got the appeal of achievements really, nor the drive to acquire them, but ok. That said, most of these were not very spoilery in my mind. The biggest "spoiler" is the Multiplayer one I think, which I do find surprising actually. A few story ones some saw coming (Cory), a few were just obvious. There's really one in there that I want to think on though. Stargazer. The Grey Unknown (talk) 00:27, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Is there another link, i can not seem to open this one?--69.137.105.104 (talk) 02:16, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Ehhh... I don't know. Some of them seemed a bit lacking. I thought having two separate achievements for finishing the game on hard and nightmare difficulty was a bit redundant, too. The actual designs of the achievements are just placeholders, so it's not too over-spoily. I only care about achievements when I'm playing on the Xbox. I don't know why. I don't pay attention to them at all on the computer. --Death by Cheese (talk) 03:59, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Having achievements for beating the game on different difficulties is very common. It's only really stupid if beating it on higher difficulties doesn't also unlock the lower difficulty achievements at the same time. *That* is stupid. 67.61.238.87 (talk) 04:58, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

It's still redundant to have achievements for Hard AND Nightmare. What about one achievement for finishing the game on any difficulty level, and one achievement for finishing it on Hard or Nightmare (and yes, if you complete the game first at a higher difficulty rating, then both should unlock)? Unless I missed something, I didn't see an achievement for simply finishing the game at any difficulty level. That'd be a first for Dragon Age. That's why I'm a little skeptical that this is a 100% legit list. --Death by Cheese (talk) 05:12, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

They had an achievement for beating Golems of Amgarrak on both Hard and on Nightmare already, so it's not even a new thing for the IP. Theres a significant different in difficulty between the two modes too, particularly in regars to friendly fire. 67.61.238.87 (talk) 05:25, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Unless I'm not remembering correctly, the achievement in Golems of Amgarrak was for Hard OR Nightmare. It was one achievement. The other achievement was for beating the DLC at any difficulty level. --Death by Cheese (talk) 05:29, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Of course the worst part of this leak is that now that we know so many spoilers, they will have to go into another two-writer-lockup-session-with-no-editors-or-proofreaders to change it up just like the last time. CLuhrsen (talk) 06:00, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

If you think about it, Corypheus' release isn't really Hawke's fault. It's just another situation in which Hawke was completely powerless to do anything or make a difference. If Hawke had not gone to the prison to fight Corypheus, Larius or Janeka would have eventually freed him or the seals would have weakened and broke on their own, in which case Corypheus would find some Grey Wardens eventually. Believe it! (talk) 06:12, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

How come when there is a leak, it's usually a Russian guy leaking it? C'mon, son. This is weak. A leak like that can ruin a game. I'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed they aren't going to write some new quick ending and slap artistic integrity all over its arse. henioo ^{(da talk page)} 06:25, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Well, it doesn't really spoil the ending. It only reveals a character, albeit a major one, in Inquisition, not necesarily the main antagonist, or even the lower tiered one -- like Loghain and the Arishok were in their respective games. Primary Faction (talk) 06:51, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I was just referencing ME3. There's a rumour going around that the whole game was about dark energy and Reapers needing a human reaper to stop it or something. IT all sounded well complicated and had way more to do with ME1 and ME2. But then the plot leaked online, BW changed the plot and thus the ending, within a very short time and ended up with an ending that is so out of place. henioo ^{(da talk page)} 07:15, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, yikes. I didn't know about that. But considering we already know the plot... Unless Inquisition turns out to actually be about dark energy. Primary Faction (talk) 07:30, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Well, there is red lyrium... ;) Yammamoto69 (talk) 11:11, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

The Dark Energy plotline for ME3 was not a rumor. The main writer for the first two games, Drew Karpyshyn, intended for Dark Energy to play a much more significant role, not sure about the details you mention though. Drew wrote a whole lot of the great stuff BW has written IMO, KOTOR, JE, some of Balder's Gate, ME obviously. Sadly he was moved (back) to the TOR team to work on that thing, leaving the other guys to finish ME3 before leaving Bioware altogether. His absence from ME3 was seriously missed. The Grey Unknown (talk) 13:03, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be the tighest shit ever if Corypheus ended up possessing the First Warden, and thus corrupting the whole organisation of Grey Warden, who'd then in turn become enemies to the Inquisition in DAI. henioo ^{(da talk page)} 07:16, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Considering the achievement that states that you "liberate" the Grey Wardens, it would make sense that they're doing whatever they are against their will and the Inquisition has to stop them. Primary Faction (talk) 07:30, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Multiplayer. My old enemy. We meet again.
Kind of a let down this, after all the times Mike Laidlaw steered around the question and implied that they weren't interested in doing MP. Diain (talk) 08:35, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

As long as it's not forced, I'm happy never touching the multiplayer. I don't even have access to multiplayer games on my console. If it's forced into the single player campaign for no reason again, I will rain hell down upon thee, Bioware.

...Well, figuratively. Primary Faction (talk) 08:51, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

MP may not be forced, but they will have to make it figure in somehow in some meaningful way I would think. Only a small portion of people who play MP actually buy stuff through Microtransactions, per lots of reports, but when they do they usually go apeshit and buy tons. It'll play into the game somehow, but if it's perceived as being required even a little bit like ME3, even if it's not accurate, then look out because it won't be pretty. The Grey Unknown (talk) 13:26, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

For players like me, who want to get the "platin" Trophy in their favorite games, MP is already forced because there is an achievement for it. In ME3, at least all Trophys that could be earned in Mp could also be earned in SP.--Nikero (talk) 14:06, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

In case the source is down or someone can't access it for some other reason here ->[1] is the same list. --10:28, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I feel like instead of sharing this, we should go out of our way to erase it from existence. All you guys' talk of "rewrites" and the such has got me overly paranoid. Primary Faction (talk)

Who's to say this is real, but another supporting factor that there'll be more achievements is the fact that one achievement for MP and that's it? Correct me if i'm wrong but was there more? Surely more would be added for MP, especially if their are levels. Don't know if you guys here have played Ryse, which was an atrocity of a game, the multiplayer in that may be what it may be like in DAI. I doubt it's like the AC:Unity multiplayer story. It may centre around a general of the Inquisition, or we may be agents of the sorts. I could imagine a demon horde mode. Or a party mode where we fight dragons or something. 14:22, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not looking for any spoilers, but I have to ask... Is there an Acheivement for throwing jars of bees at people, and is it named either "MAKER! NOT THE BEES! ARRRGH!" or "Covered in Bees"? --Jasin Moridin (talk) 14:47, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately no : (. --18:13, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

There should be one. They can call it, "Bee-leave it!" Believe it! (talk) 19:03, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Shocker: Corypheus is back. --Hawke111 (talk) 15:05, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, guys that's not a huge spoiler or anything. We all expected Corypheus to come back at some point. All this leak shows is that you have the option to defeat him. This isn't really a spoiler. That's like saying Alistair or Anora are in DA:I. Big deal. What would be a spoiler is telling everyone that Corypheus has enslaved the Grey Wardens in Adamant, and the Inquisitor has the option to liberate them from Corypheus' mind control. Just as an example. But saying Corypheus is just in the game is no spoiler. Believe it! (talk) 17:46, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

So you can now tame dragons? I wonder if we are able to ride it. User:CrabDuke

Ok just read through it. Main points I've taken (for me) are : Corypheus might be the big bad (don't think so but maybe). We might get to elect a new Divine. There are now difficulty related achievements. There's multiplayer. We can tame dragons. At some point there will be a big attack on the Inquisition. Xsari (talk) 22:30, July 25, 2014 (GMT)

On your last point about there being an attack on the Inquisition, do you really think that's what the setback is? What if it's a storm or a blizzard something natural or perhaps magical like a group of rebel mages attack the Inquisition with fire and ice. Or maybe they'll pull a Loghain and have it be where all the forces you secured betray you and retreat. I don't know, but this "Setback" has me pondering many possibilities, but a big attack doesn't seem nearly as ominous or foreboding. B.S.S.T. (talk) 22:11, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

By attack I meant something that nearly destroys the Inquisition. Xsari (talk) 23:25, July 25, 2014 (GMT)

well the devs have said that at some point about 'a bit before the middle of the game' the big bad knocks on your door and shows you how powerful he is so i assume that attack the fire and ice one is that im not sure how it will play out but yeah... and i hope the big bad isnt corphy that would be boring. though im not looking forward to the difficuty tophies i like having 100% with dragon age games and nightmare mode is going to be very hard =.= thank god for tacical cameraFaye Cousland (talk) 23:25, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I'd also like to add, was their no achievement on who we would potentially side with in the Orlesian civil war? If not that reaffirms that these are not all the achievements or that we won't have a part in it which seems unlikely 23:42, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

There was also nothing on the Mage Templar War. Bioware has all but confirmed that we'll be taking a stand in it, so why no achievement for who we side with? Dragon Age II had an achievement for the Templars and the Mages, so why no Achievement for them now? Either this leak is a farce or it will be added to. I'm more inclined to believe the former especially after that Multiplayer Achievement. B.S.S.T. (talk) 23:57, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I suspect that it's fake, but it's just as plausible that they intend to add more. 00:23, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

to me it just felt like they havent added the story mode trophies yet or at least not most of them there are alot of achievements for the things you can do in the game but there are like what? 4-5 story trophies on a game where story is the main thing??? makes no sense so i think that there are some definitely missing95.93.167.218 (talk) 01:52, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

I don't want to massacre Grey Wardens. I hope this "Liberate the Wardens" wouldn't mean my Inquisitor putting them to the sword else I'd stop playing it all together including DAO for it would ruin the entire franchise for me. 121.54.54.239 (talk) 02:25, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

Why would you be upset if liberation means killing? The game doesn't go to the Anderfels or a host of other nations so we know the entire order won't be affected. Considering Corypheus' ability to mess with Wardens minds, its probably that we'll find him in one of their fortresses controlling them and you have to kill a bunch just to reach the boss. Whether the game makes you wipe out all of them present or save some... well we'll see. But remember that this won't be the Order as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.210.236 (talk)
