@@cloak890 But even then, has it been confirmed that the Architect really is a Tevinter Magister ? It seems pretty obvious but he states otherwise and no lore or codex entry made it canon in my knowledge
This is what can be found on the Dragon Age wiki site: In an unsigned Grey Warden Report, the Architect is theorized to be one of the Magisters Sidereal, those Magisters who physically entered the Golden City in -395 Ancient. With no evidence contradicting otherwise, it was henceforth assumed as truth. The Architect was the High Priest of Urthemiel and the leader of the Builders "who constructed monuments to the glory of the gods" according to the Great Plan. He was the first Magister to be approached by Sethius Amladaris (Corypheus),the High Priest of Dumat, to join in his endeavour to reach the Golden City.
one of the magisters or maybe someone else; "His crime is high treason. He took on a form reserved for the gods and their chosen, and dared to fly in the shape of the divine. The sinner belongs to Dirthamen; he claims he took wings at the urging of Ghilan'nain, and begs protection from Mythal. She does not show him favor, and will let Elgar'nan judge him."
I think The Architect is similar to Solas in some ways. He did a horrible thing that killed off entire civilizations and wants to undo it no matter the cost.
@@MultiBahader it's been revealed by the later games that the blight and the dark spawn were nothing more poor unfortunate souls exposed to a weapon created by the Evanuris Think of it like a magical version of our modern day understanding of radioactive material The ancient elves that ruled as gods long in the past of Thedas they created the taint to use against themselves in their constant infighting and Solas/Fen'harrel's rebellion to overthrow them When Solas won he set up the veil and thusly trapped the taint in the fade making it inaccessible to anyone and the only reason it leaked back into the world is because a bunch of tevinter mages who also believed themselves to be gods entered the fade physically and came into contact with it
@@MultiBahader possibly, but I don't think so There's still a few mysteries left to be uncovered like that what you mentioned of the old gods of tevinter and the titan we meet during the dlc and who knows maybe next game they'll rewrite the lore again
@@rejvaik00you say reconned but isn't what you said very heavily implied when Tamlen comes in contact with a corrupted Eluvian and later shows up in the middle of becoming a shriek? That was all written before this. I think the best way to explain the architect is he probably literally has no clue what he really is and where he really came from and this is what he's come up with. I think the biggest mystery Dragon Age will always play with (as long as the writing is decent and consistent which is getting less and less likely the more OGs leave.) is what is true and what is hugely trumped up allegory when it comes to the chant of light, the history of Darkspawn, and the history of the elves. In the end I think it is all trumped up allegory that all leads back to the very real (to them) phenomenon that is the fade. In a universe where the fade is a thing that can exist, and can cause all this batshit stuff to happen, of course it all becomes a avenue for mortals to forge belief systems that rationalize it.
Honestly I still think out of all the corrupted magisters he was the only one that wanted the best for the dark spawn. He might make a cameo or hopefully be an ally
@@avetruetocaesar541I think this is largely been retconned which is very disappointing it was going to be an interesting experience with the ideas of the dark spawn gaining sentience and of the relationship between the Old Gods and themselves But it's been revealed that the blight was nothing more than a weapon launched by the Evanuris those beings that Solas would later fight against and also be victorious over He created the Veil and also imprisoned the blight along with the Evanuris within the newly created Fade All the ancient Magisters did was just be exposed in an area that they didn't know was infected The Old Gods don't have any relationship to it, and they don't call to the dark spawn anymore trying to free themselves from the underground prisons and get vengeance at the Maker and his creations Before they have been tainted they don't even get involved with the dark spawn at all And really the arch demon isn't restricted to the "Old Gods" it's really any dragon that the Dark Spawn can manage to corrupt
I wish Dragon Age to get a Balder's gate 3 moment, where Bioware goes bankrupt and a different competent game studio get there hands on them. Also make a soft reboot, like make a Dragon Age Origins 2. DA2, Inquisition and Veilguard can rot for all I care.

My personal headcannon is that The Architect is one of the Tevinter Mages that breached the Golden City, such as Corypheus
They look similar
Isn't that cannon? He was the priest of beauty
Not just headcanon - that's actual canon, my dude.
That's real canon. Architect was the name of the arch priest of the arch demon of the 5th blight.
That’s not head cannon he IS one of the original Magisters.
Architect is a bro actually. I hope we have his aid against the Dread Wolf soon.
I loved origins
What a soothing voice
the voice actor did an amazing job
Given the fact he was the high priest of Urthemiel, who was originally the Tevinter Old God of Beauty, tis only fitting.
Bioware forgot him
Bioware forgot lots of things these days.
Yeah they completely dropped that part of the story. Too bad.

It's his voice!! I knew it!!! Oh god, I killed him... But perhaps he has powers similar to Corypheus'. Well, shit...
He probable was one of 9 tevinters wizards who went to the Golden city
Darth Malgus
Tbh the way darkspawn are created is so inherently fucked, annihilation is the only option
Remember when Bioware made gems such as this???
SWTOR
Still wondering what connection the Architect has with Corypheus
besides them both being apart of the magisters who entered the black city im not entirely sure

@@Hawaiian_Pizza_Enjoyer Woah thank you, this is very interesting !

You’re very welcome!
one of the magisters or maybe someone else; "His crime is high treason. He took on a form reserved for the gods and their chosen, and dared to fly in the shape of the divine.

Not “or.” This is the High Priest of Urthemiel, the old god you fought in the Fifth Blight.
I think The Architect is similar to Solas in some ways. He did a horrible thing that killed off entire civilizations and wants to undo it no matter the cost.
He looks similar to corypheus
Because like Corypheus he is one of the magisters that tried to enter to the golden city.
He is similar
Sadly a lot of this is now retconned out the window even if it was a very interesting concept
How so?
@@MultiBahader it's been revealed by the later games that the blight and the dark spawn were nothing more poor unfortunate souls exposed to a weapon created by the Evanuris

Unfortunately, the latest Steam version of DA origins is unplayable. Crashes frequently.
You need the 4gb patch and use task manager to make only use one cpu. That makes the crashes very rare
@@nicolaslaragarcia3298 Fallout 3 is the same way, I think. It needs to be on a sole CPU core
I bet he is the new enemy in Dragon age dreadwolf !
I don’t know. Wouldn’t that be too similar to Corypheus? They don’t share the same goal, but the similarities are overall too great.
Honestly I still think out of all the corrupted magisters he was the only one that wanted the best for the dark spawn. He might make a cameo or hopefully be an ally
@@avetruetocaesar541I think this is largely been retconned which is very disappointing it was going to be an interesting experience with the ideas of the dark spawn gaining sentience and of the relationship between the Old Gods and themselves
But it's been revealed that the blight was nothing more than a weapon launched by the Evanuris those beings that Solas would later fight against and also be victorious over
He created the Veil and also imprisoned the blight along with the Evanuris within the newly created Fade
All the ancient Magisters did was just be exposed in an area that they didn't know was infected
The Old Gods don't have any relationship to it, and they don't call to the dark spawn anymore trying to free themselves from the underground prisons and get vengeance at the Maker and his creations
Before they have been tainted they don't even get involved with the dark spawn at all
And really the arch demon isn't restricted to the "Old Gods" it's really any dragon that the Dark Spawn can manage to corrupt
@@avetruetocaesar541he was killed off in the books actually. They turned him into a basic villain and killed him off from what I heard.

Why are people so dumb and not know the lore of these games…. It’s literal Lore that he’s one of the 7.
No it is not... They never made that clear in the games
No need to call people dumb just for not knowing all details from a videogame. Not everyone has time for videogames.
@@theoroderick782 yes they did he lost his memory. Look it up.
@@Fragenzeichenplatteif you ain't got time for it why do you care about the lore? Tf
@@manwithballsonarm6775 You are confused. This isn't about me.
Was it he who started the fifth blight or I thinking of something else?
If memory serves correct yes. But I think it started on accident.
yes it was by mastake basicly he tried his joining on the old god but rather then removing the taint it gave it.
I wish Dragon Age to get a Balder's gate 3 moment, where Bioware goes bankrupt and a different competent game studio get there hands on them. Also make a soft reboot, like make a Dragon Age Origins 2. DA2, Inquisition and Veilguard can rot for all I care.
Inquisition was good but everything in between the story was horrible just like every dragon age
To hell with anything that came after origins I agree. We need an origins remake or a complete reboot using many of the original characters and story.
