Throughout the series, players have taken the role of a Grey Warden fighting the Blight and an Archdemon, a Ferelden refugee named Hawke who becomes the Champion of the city of Kirkwall, and the Herald of Andraste and Inquisitor looking to restore peace to Southern Thedas. These characters and their companions make appearances and play roles in other stories in the series, and decisions a player made in Origins can cause trouble in Inquisition, or in the upcoming Dragon Age 4 game, if the player wants them to.
Like other BioWare franchises, Dragon Age fans can create a single, continuous canon across games that will affect what happens in each subsequent installment. Players can create a custom World State that reflects their major decisions across the Dragon Age games through the Dragon Age Keep.
