OK, is anyone really surprised that the Griffins aren't extinct? I mean, we knew from the start that the "dragons are extinct" thing was bullcrap, and with it being the symbol of the Grey Wardens, it was kind of inevitable.

I WANT to be excited..but know better now. :(

All I see are 10 people jumping out of walls. Baby dragons appearing out of thin air. Abominations that ARE supposed to be possessed mages, but they can be summoned by other mages...What? Also giant spiders that come out of the sky..on a thread...like spider-man or something.

Well the unfinished state of the end Dragon Age 2 suggest a sequel, but I don't really see a way for Bioware to introduce Griffins with disappointing at least half their user base.

A prequel would really be ideal. I always imagined how awesome it would be to have a Dragon Age game set in Tevinter.

Oh god, no... not Bioware DLC...

Bioware does many things right, but DLC isn't one of them. Sure, they occasionally do one right (some of the ME2 ones were pretty nice), but other than that it's just an overpriced quest chain with some recycled environments. Seriously, these are the people who made "Witch Hunt", one of the worst pieces of DLC since the Oblivion Horse Armor.

Those images are hinting at a 1-2 hour quest that will cost you $10, give you some overpowered items that screw over the game balance and have no impact on the game itself. If you're lucky, it'll be a stand-alone (like Leliana's song), exploring a side stories of people other than Hawke and will be a functioning narrative.

I think I'll pass on the DA2 DLC...

The question "are those griffins?" is far from a direct hint at the implementation of griffin "mounts". More likely is to simply hint at Warden lore in general, since Wardens were largely absent from DA2. Besides, you need a microscope to actually see anything of them (haven't caught a glimpse yet, but researches in different wavelengths of light are ongoing).

If I were Mike Laidlaw, I'd probably just reuse all three dungeons from DA2.

Then I'd probably try to stop a bullet with my teeth.

$100 says Dragon Age 3 will be a prequel.
I'll take that bet.

Considering DA2 was basically a setup for DA3, I think the odds are in my favour ;)
You know how this works: they set up a sequel, milk it for as long as they can with prequels, DLC and mobile phone games, then come back and do the 'epic' reveal everyone's beating waiting for.

Kinda like Assassin's Creed. Kind of. In a way.
Or Metal Gear Solid.
There was MGS2, MGS2: Substance, MGS3, MGS3: Subsistence, MG Acid, MG Acid 2, MGS: Portable Ops, all before the obvious set up for a sequel to MGS2 ever came out.
