The premise

A newly recruited Grey Warden survives Ostagar and must invoke ancient treaties to unite Ferelden against the Fifth Blight.

Six origins

Human Noble, Mage, City Elf, Dalish Elf, Dwarf Noble and Dwarf Commoner openings give the protagonist different personal histories and later callbacks.

Flexible middle game

After Lothering, several treaty arcs can be completed in different orders before the Landsmeet.

What carries forward

Political choices, companion outcomes and world-state decisions feed the larger Dragon Age continuity even though later games use new protagonists.
