In Act 3, Bodahn Feddic tells Hawke that he and Sandal will soon leave for Orlais, as the Orlesian Empress has requested Sandal's expertise in her court.
I think Bioware is treating Bodahn and Sandal somewhat like Square Enix treats Cid in the Final Fantasy games. If this is the case, and Bodahn and Sandal will provide goods and enchantments to every Dragon Age protagonist (as far as a dwarf's natural lifespan permits, at least), then it seems plausible that the next game will take place wherever they are: Orlais. And considering the events of DA2, it might make sense to place a sequel at the heart of the Chantry.
What do you guys think? Will the next Dragon Age game follow Bodahn and Sandal to Orlais?
Dragon Age II
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Mar 08, 2011
This sequel to Dragon Age: Origins features faster combat, a new art style, and a brand new, fully voiced main character named Hawke.
Did Bodahn Feddic just reveal DA3's setting? *spoilers*

" An interesting theory. Seems likely that Orlais will be visited. Sandal seems like a character they will explain more. I hope he's a party member. That would be crazy. "
Dude! Sandal as a party member would be really cool.
Makes complete sense. Was hoping for Tevinter Imperium though. I loves me some mages.
I think Orlais would drive me crazy though--too many French accents.
Seems reasonable. I would imagine they want to work their way through the world before having to repeat themselves. They still have Orlais and the entirety of the northern reaches of the continent.
That seems plausible, considering the fat cliffhanger at the end of DAII that totally leaves room for an expansion and maybe some Shadow Broker esque DLC.
" More likely, that's an expansion setting. I also hope Sandal ends up becoming the ultimate evil. I'm trying to remember if they mentioned going to DA Awakening's setting in DAO. "At the very end of the game the person you made ruler gives the wardens Amaranthine, but that's all I remember.
Orlais seems possible, there are hints throughout the game that game that the political situation there is getting heated. Also the ending ot the game makes me think that a visit is definitely in the future.
The game seems to point to Orlais being a major spot for stuff happening. I'm pretty sure Seeker woman is from Orlais, i mean, that accent. And the character she was working for in my game.
There is seriously something up with Sandal, first time you meet him in this game he's standing around a whole bunch of dead darkspawn and a frozen ogre. And apparantly an old lady comes to his bed at night and stares at him. I wonder who THAT could be...
Lets see,
- Bodahn says they are moving there.
- Alistair/ Anora says there is infighting.
- Val Royeaux is in Orlais.
- Val Royeaux is where the Divine lives with The Seekers.
- David Gaider has said they have entertained the idea of Cassandra being a core part of the next story.
The chantry seeker isn't from Orlais she's from Navarran as in the Navarran dragon hunters that made the Dragons nearly extinct.
Whoever we are in DA3 is probably going to land right in the middle of that.
" Lets see,compound the fact that the ending of the game, depending on choices, will likely end up in a civil war between two certain factions and the likelyhood of an Exalted March will be called....id say Oralis is a prime target.

I'm going to guess that Dragon Age III is set in Orlais with IV being set in the Tevinter Imperium and concerning Morrigan, Flemeth and the Qunari."
another slightly smaller hint is when you save the grey wardens from the qunari they say something big is happening in orlais so they definitely can't leave the troubles in orlais happening with all these hinting at it
i also think that bioware are gonna have bodahn and sandal in each full dragon age game
also i love the french accents they have, as long as it means more cassandra i'm all for it
And being that the Templars have abandoned the Chantry to fight an unsanctioned war against the mages, I'm sure the Chantry in general is prepared to call for an Exalted March on both of them.
