Dragon Age 4 producer teases return of the Grey WardensIn a fancy new piece of concept art
In a fancy new piece of concept art
Dragon Age 4is still a ways off yet, but BioWare are continuing to tease tiny bits of info about next instalment of their excellent fantasy series. So far, we’ve hada glimpse of the game’s moody settinganda peek at a pretty cool magic archer. This time, executive producer Christian Dailey has offered up another new bit of concept art that suggests the Grey Wardens will be making a return.
“Yo @ChristianDailey,” creative directorMatthew Goldman tweeted. “I’m feeling really gray and pointy right now. Know what I sayin'?”
“I got you!“Dailey responds with the image above. “Is this the right amount of pointy and gray?”
And yep, that sure is a Grey Warden.
It doesn’t sound like the biggest deal at first - the Grey Wardens have been in everyDragon Agegame so far, after all. They’re an ancient order that dedicate their lives to fighting darkspawn (the evil creatures that emerge whenever a Blight rolls around), and, despite their efforts to not get involved in Dragon Age’s politics, they get involved in Dragon Age’s politics very often.

What’s interesting about potentially seeing the order in Dragon Age 4 is how their story was left off in Inquisition (spoilers!). Following a big main quest in Inquisition, the player can decide whether to recruit the Wardens or banish them from Ferelden after you save them from some weird demon stuff they managed to get involved in.BanishedWardens head back to their headquarters at Weisshaupt, and rumours of infighting there gradually begin to reach you. On the other hand, recruited Wardens form their own subsect of the order, eventually cutting ties with Weisshaupt. Regardless of your decision, you hear rumours that suggest things aren’t going great at Weisshaupt, and ultimately the place goes dark.
The Grey Warden in that concept art looks pretty righteous though, so perhaps I’m completely wrong and they’ll just be there to beat up darkspawn in their fancy winged helmets. Or maybe the Warden player character fromDragon Age: Originswill finally make a comeback. At any rate, I’ll be glad to see the Wardens return, I think they’re my favourite Dragon Age faction (mostly because of the cool armour.)
