What will be your first world status?
In particular:

DA:O
- Warden status and romance, general good or evil warden? Maybe dwarven king might also be part of the choices that matter
- Who rules over Ferelden
- Morrigan DLC ending and her having a son or no son (and who the father is)
I am trying to think about other choices that might matter...

DA2
- Hawke and romance, Anders' destiny. I do not think much else might matter from DA2, maybe if you sided with the mages or the templars and what happened to Isabela
- Maybe if you helped Merrill or not?

DA:I
- Inquisitor class and race, romance
- Disbanded inquisition or kept it under the Divine, plus who is the Divine
- Decided to save Solas or stop him
- Sides with mages or templars
- Who drank from the Veil
- What happened to Dorian (relationship of inquisitor to Dorian) and if Dorian and Bull ended together
- Hawke and Alistair/Loghain/Stroud choice
- Maybe Cassandra's ending as well

I am trying to think about other possible important choices....

I plan on replaying Origins and 2 and use that set. I have just recently played Inquistion and will mix the outcomes to match.

I also recently replayed all of them, but I might do a last replay just before the game comes out. Tho I admit I tend to play the same big choices

I need to replay all 3 too just to get a canon I would like in DAV. Anders always lives, Zevran lives and obliterates Crows, poor Alistair is forced to marry Anora for plot reasons, Hawke dies in DAI, Dorian is always very loved either by Inquisitor or Bull.

Who gets to be Divine depends on the class I'm playing (as there are three class choices, a mage Viv, a rogue Leliana and a paladin Cass).

Yesss, Zevran is my absolute favorite in origins (alongside Morrigan) so mine will also be Zevran obliterating the crows. Oh wow, Hawke die! I might have the courage to do it if it is in a summary of my world state.

MY MAGE INQUISITOR ALSO ALWAYS CHOOSES VIV DIVINE!

I like to mix up my playthroughs, but I usually end up playing a Qunari mage inquisitor and Vivienne becomes divine.

Honestly I don't know. I was going to go and go my cannon story but being a Rook thatis an Elf feels more important. I usually always play human. Since they are not using the Dragon Age Keep I don't know what choices in the past will really matter. It will be interesting to see what we have to select when we first set up our game world state.

I am thinking Dragon Age Inquisition choices will matter most. But we will be in parts of Thedas (except Nararra) where the southern Chantry won't really come in to play.

Inquisition choices:
1. Who drank from the well
2. Is Keiran an old god baby or not
3. Who was left in the fade ** (may not get answered)
4. Wardens left in the south or not
5. Who is Divine

I think those are the major ones I can think of...

My first one will be my diplomatic against the crow world state.
DAO:
- Romancing Zevran
- city elf Origin
- the warden is alive at the end
- Diplo Elves/werewolves
- Helping Redcliff
- help the mages

DA2:
- Diplo Hawk
- no romance
- Anders dead

DAI:
- Human Inquisitor
- Romancing Josephine
- side with the mages
- Leliana Divine inquistion under her

DA:TV:
- elve Crow rook (want to change the organisation)
- romance neve or Bellara


That is all i have on my list for this right now.
After this will be my world state with Alistair/ Cullen romance
or the one with the Sebastian/Dorian romance.

I had to actually rebuy them on Steam because I only have the DVD versions lying around, but no DVD drive anymore. That's how long I haven't played them, so I am not even sure I remember all big choices. I's almost like going in blind again! :)

I will keep the one outcome of Inquisition if they ask, though, where Iron Bull betrayed me, that little... AND IT WAS TOTALLY NOT MY FAULT! :pontius_confused:

For DA2 - Anders dies that day regardless of if you kill him or let him live. If you let him live then he commits self termination. Anders is canonically dead before Inquisition starts. The only thing that I can see from DA2 that could come up in Veilguard: Helping Merrill repair the Eluvian.

Anyway, I have to get to work on a new Dragon Age run so that I'll have a new world state before Veilguard drops....and yes I already preordered it dammit.

Hopefully they won't close the keep because that's where I kept track of all of my world states. I trimmed down a lot compared to DAO because replaying a game so many times was draining and DAI's open-world didn't help with the burnt-out. But my first one would be:

DA:O
- High Chancellor Warden, romanced Morrigan. Human noble because I'm cliche like that... In my defense, I made a very handsome Warden. Naturally, Kieran is around <3
- Hardened King Alistair & Queen Anora. I originally thought about Queen Anora and Warden as prince consort but I couldn't do that to Morrigan :Owlcat_sleepless:
- All things considered, I think my Warden was politically shrewd since I invested a lot in coercion/persuasion stat. Bhelen as king, allowed the Circle to live, did not trust Eamon at all but find him necessary for some of the progress.

DA2
- Purple Hawke, romanced Fenris. Anders is so dead :') Circle mage Bethany, survived the game as well.
- Isabela is alive, got her own ship. Sided with mages but it really didn't matter, my Hawke found both side crappy at the end, but went with them to protect her only living family member.
- Honestly I don't remember what happened to Merill but I do remember always killing her clan :ShockedOwlcat:

DA:I
- Solas romance. My elf is a cute little button so :') Mage Inquisitor and kept it under Divine. Vivienne as the Divine.
- Save Solas :') and sided with the mages.
- Morrigan drank from the well. I'm really interested in how this would play out in DATV! I did it because Solas didn't want my Inquisitor to drink from the well, but I can't see my Warden being happy about this outcome :RoflOwlcat:
- Dorian is a good friend and he stayed in touch with Inquisitor. I didn't use him and Bull enough in my parties so they're not together. Cassandra's leading the Seekers.

DA:TV
- Human rogue Rook, for... Antivan Crows, naturally. I'm about as inspired as a loaf of bread. I hope we have some history with people in the same organization because I'm about to romance Lucanis 😭

I'm going to try and guess at any choices that may be important to the new game but not sure what will seem important beyond the posed questions. Still this is probably a bit more detailed than will ultimately be important.

DAO: First Zevran survived Origins and was romantically involved with my Rogue Dalish Elf warden. Alastair rules Ferelden without Anora and Bhelen Orzammar. Morrigan had an Old God baby with the hero though he only did this because she pressured him into it by bringing up people who greatly valued. He didn't stop her going through the eluvian but there parting was not on good terms. He also was not overly fond of 'Sten' though he did recruit him. That lack of trust between them means that the hero did not help 'Sten' retrieve his sword. The urn of secred ashes was left pure (a dalish elf feels like they could corrupt it out of anger but he knows the feeling of finding sacred places desicrated and chose to be thw bigger person). The Archetect was killed by the hero (if they ever do anything with this him being alive is probably more interesting but it just feels like such a bad idea to leave him alive. Granted he's probably able to jump from blighted body to blighted body so this may mean nothing). One final thing that feels like it may come back, Warden's Keep DLC sees Sophia killed and Avernus forced to do his research more ethically (no garentee that lasted).

DA2: My Hawke is a Mage. He romanced Fenris and they bonded over a shared violent contempt for slavers. Faynriel ultimately left to Tevinter to study (feels like it may be important). Isabella is alive and was protected from the qunari. I did kill the Arishok (no chance of an unexpected power struggle among the Qunari that may have been possible if he wanted to take his place back from 'Sten'. Hawke also let Zevran go as his experience with this particular assassin left his survival as the less unsavory option. He refused to aid Merrill and she did not destroy her eluvian but his condemnation did manage to keep her clan alive. He also didn't get along with Tallis and though he was very close friends with Anders in the end expressed his disapproval of the blowing up of the chantry. Still Hawke spared Anders as he could not bring himself to kill the man he'd been so close with. Still my Hawke sided with the mages against the templars.

DAI: The Inquisitor is a rogue elf who had romantic relations with Cassandra. Dorian and the Inquisitor were friends by the end though they started at odds with eachother. Blackwall has lived on as Thom Rayner, and The Iron Bull is Tal-vashof. The Inquisitor and Solas clashed rather bitterly due to differing values and a screaming match over the value of the Dalish's struggle to learn and preserve Elven hystory. Still after the experiences of Trespasser and learning what Solas was trying (in this case poorly) to teach the Inquisitor had resolved to try and convince Solas not to destroy the world as it is (likely hanging back at the start because of how poorly the two got along). Cassandra is trying to rebuild the seekers in a more positive and truthful manner. Cole has become more human. As an elf the Inquisitor never accepted the title 'harald of Andraste' and constantly corrected people who called him by it. He alied with the mages without bringing them under the Inquasition's complete control. Celene remains in power with her romance with Briala reconciled. The Inquisitor's speech when he accepted the position was seen as very much dedicated to himself (though his concern was more to show that the elves can be allies as he doesn't believe things can last as they are). The Gray Wardens of Orlais were permitted to remain and Stroud was left in the Fade. The Inquisitor respected the ancient traditions in the temple of Mythal and allied himself with the guardians. Liliana has become Devine. My Inquisitor did his best to share the truth of his predecessor from the original Inquasition being an elf and the events of the Decent DLC did happen. Finally the Inquasition was disbanded as the Inquisitor never trusted the Chantry, he may trust Liliana but he refused to let the organization he'd led end up in the hands of her successor.

(Forgot to include this somehow but my Inquisitor drank from the Well of Sorrows cause that was Elven and he was not giving it to Moragan after the elfsplaining.)
