WORLD STATE

Each Dragon Age video game builds on the story told in the ones before it, and decisions made in those earlier games can have an impact that stretches beyond their end. There are also choices that can effect the status of and relationships between characters. The collected pile of decisions made throughout the games is known as a "world state." Below is a listing of the key decisions made in Fade Rift's world state. Please note that a few select decisions have been changed from what's possible in the video games in order to increase the number of appable canon characters.
