David Gaider reveals Dragon Age lore's intentional inconsistencies and hints at an overarching plot

David Gaider, the original writer for Dragon Age, discussed the series' complex lore, emphasizing its intentional inconsistencies. Different factions, like humans and elves, have varying beliefs about Thedas, creating rich narrative conflicts. Gaider revealed that there is an overarching "uber-plot" that could eventually be resolved, depending on how BioWare uses his original narrative documents. He highlighted the importance of doubt and interpretation in understanding the history of Thedas. The new game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, may provide insights into this lore, particularly through ancient Elven gods. Gaider expressed curiosity about whether BioWare will clarify major mysteries or maintain the series' tradition of ambiguity.
