don't know if implementation in DA3 is the same as LotF, but i'm holding off until we know more about denuvo. this is brewing up to be quite a clusterfuck if these findings are even remotely true.

Yes I'm really curious about that as well, the keep choices also gives you the choice of having a human baby (Though that means the warden won't be alive since there was no ritual.) so I'm wondering how this will progress in the game, I would think it has to be more than just a codex entry.
I also completely misread the choice when I first used the Keep and generated a world state, was wondering what the difference was between having a human baby and having a "good old baby" but I noticed my mistake fairly quickly afterwards.
It's also strange how the Keep allows you to have a normal baby and a dead warden and still allow you to do the Antideluvian mirror where you either followed Morrigan or stabbed her, which shouldn't be possible since the warden would be dead but maybe that's been fixed by now.
Had a really tough time cross referencing with the Dragon Age wiki as well on some of the choices since it was a while since I played the previous games so I had no idea why this or that person should be alive or dead but I think I got it set up correctly now following most of my choices although with some modifications, didn't think it was possible to save both the Keep and the City in Awakening for example but here you can select such a choice.
Might have to set up several world states but seeing how the game can last upwards of 80 hours or so going through it all multiple times to see the various differences will be pretty tough so I'll probably read up on it on a wiki later on.
The Keep was also updated to handle DA: Inquisition choices although it's currently locked and you can now export your choices to the game and it'll be saved, earlier you could press that export button but it wouldn't do anything. 
Five hours until the game unlocks in Asia, hopefully getting the game cracked won't take more than a few weeks (If even that.) since it would be nice to get rid of the DRM given that option but it's a new protection so it could take longer unfortunately.
(Not really sure if it affects performance but who wouldn't want DRM free instead of this protection system give the choice.)

Wait, wasn't canon DA2 lore was that Garden sacrifices himself and Morrigan leaves with a baby?

I don't remember anything I did in DA1-2, so I guess I should just play in a default world.

I'm not really sure, I do know that the default for Mass Effect 2 had Shephard kill companions and ignore tons of side content and for Dragon Age 2 I believe it was much the same so I've never used the "default" world state for these games since it skips so much content. (The Bioware default state for Mass Effect and Dragon Age seemed like one of the worst outcomes to me.)

I'm also confused about something in the Keep: it insists that if the Warden romances Morrigan, performs the Dark Ritual and kills the Archdemon instead of having a human baby, Loghain has to be executed and Alistair has to be king. But unless my memory fails me, the choices regarding Loghain and Alistair happen at the Landsmeet before the DR is even brought up. So why does performing/not performing the DR affect them?

Interesting information to look into, but I'm not worried. I don't install games on my SSD and I also didn't noticed any performance hits on the HDD I have Fifa 15 (which also uses denuvo) installed on.

There is no canon in DA2, or any DA game for that matter. Just 3 presets.
Also, it should be possible to have a dead warden and make a choice for Witch's Hunt, if you consider importing the Orlesian warden from Awakening.

Oh I had forgotten about that but that's true, starting a new game in Awakening or trying to import one with a dead warden lead to the game starting with a new warden from Orlais.

This can be nice. There are some episodes of If you wanna fuck my daughter you gotta fuck me first. that are quite good to say the least.

Good question

i was talking about "default preset" aka canon happenings in DA1 by dev's vision. According to that, Dark Ritual is a must. So technically, it is a canon lien across whole DA universe.
Damn, it is such a mess

No, the dark ritual isn't canon. The canon is that the Warden was a Dalish elf and died killing the Archdemon.

I've decided to download the PS3 version. It seems that this DRM is more intrusive than I've expected.

You can set Loghain to be alive & well even if you chose to perform dark ritual.

Hola won't do any good there. Go with FlyVPN
Edit: Oh, you meant the client...Well, I tried FlyVPN and was showing Hong Kong unlock time in Origin

You can set Loghain to be alive & well even if you chose to perform dark ritual. |
You're right, manually selecting "Loghain alive & well" and "Alistair became a drunk" after setting up the DR choice seems to fix the issue, even though it gives you a couple "invalid world state" errors along the way. I suppose it's just the error messages that are bugged.
