Cool. I'll avoid being a spoiler! Were you able to play any of the DLCs to Origins? How are you enjoying DA2? Always interesting to see how BW's vision of Thedas evolves! The "look" of things and peoples will evolve even further in DA Inquisition, the 3rd game. Im downloading The Stone Prisoner Oh I love DA2 the graphics are better, the gameplay is better, Hawke has a voice... I think I prefer the characters in DAO just because really i have trouble telling the difference between Anders and Fenris sometimes That being said Dragon Age 2 feels very... simple somehow... Dragon Age Origins felt to be super complex with multiple ways of playing, different races and back stories... etc... DA2 doesnt as such that being said I prefer it in nearly every way Just so you understand the DLCs for Origins, the Stone Prisoner and Soldier's Peak are DLC you can play while doing the main game in Origins. Stone Prisoner is about acquiring an extra companion. Soldier's Peak is about learning the history of the Grey Wardens. You may only be able to do these two while doing an Origins campaign. Of the other DLC, logically, the one that should follow finishing Origins is Dragon Age Awakening. If your PC did the Dark Ritual, he/she will continue in this and the other DLCs. If your Warden did the Ultimate Sacrifice, your new PC is a Grey Warden newly arrived from Orleigh. In Awakening, you deal with a continuing Darkspawn threat. (In some ways, it's a follow-on to the DA book, "The Calling," but you don't have to read the book to understand the game.) You meet Anders and Justice for the first time in Awakening. There's another DLC called "Golems of Amgarak" that takes the Warden for a brief adventure in the Deep Roads. And finally, "Witch Hunt," which you should do last. Your Warden searches for Morrigan. It's of special significance if your Warden did the Dark Ritual. If you like the graphics in DA2, you'll really like the graphics of Dragon Age Inquisition. (Although I really don't like some of the "leisure suit" armors of Inquisition.) Each game has its virtues. For Origins, it has a strong story and it has six possible origins for your character: (1) human noble; (2) human or elf mage; (3) city elf; (4) dalish elf; (5) dwarf noble, and (6) dwarf commoner. For DA2, Hawke's a cool character. The story is more personal but a bit confining. As to DLC, I liked all three DLC for DA2, but the most important is Legacy which sets you up for Inquisition.

Yup I did the dark ritual It was hilarious and made sure no one died so it was kinda a win win... and I think Morrigan would be a great mom personally thanks for the information Yup I cant wait for Inquisition thats for sure Im not sure about buying any DA2 dlcs because of the issue im having where it wont appear... ill open another support ticket at some point Im part way through Act 2 in DA2 but im kinda lost as to where the story is going at the moment expedition to the deep roads yay and now im like "ok now what???"... so im guessing the Qunari are the focus

I assume your Warden was friends with Morrigan and that's why you trusted her. For some of my PCs who hated Morrigan, they wouldn't risk having the Archdemon be reborn later and chose the Ultimate Sacrifice. Another DLC I forgot about was "Leliana's Song" which takes place before the Blight and where you see what happened between Leliana and Marjolane. As to DA2 DLCs, Legacy is good for story continuity with Inquisition. Mark of the Assassin you might like both for the adventure itself and for the story behind it. Basically, a youtube actress name Felicia Day worked her way into Dragon Age lore and the DLC features the character she created. As to DA2 itself, Act 1, Hawke's poor immigrant family struggles to establish itself in Kirkwall and succeeds via the Deep Roads expedition. (Although graphics are better, I thought the Darkspawn in DA2 were lame.) Did you take your sibling with you BTW? Act 2 is ultimately about the balancing act Hawke plays between the Andrastians and the Qunari. Let's leave it at that! Origins is story-driven; DA2 is more about the cool character that is Hawke!

Well she wasnt especially friends with Morrigan... she disapproves of her attitude... but it wasnt about Morrigans attitude just the saving of lives I guess and even if the Archdemon was reborn nothing would really be lost... you know??? It was the first trust that she put in Morrigan but it was an act of desperation more than anything else Huh that sounds cool Yup Darkspawn in DA2 were lame... although to be fair in DAO sometimes they were super weak and at others super strong so eh I didnt bring Carver no... I kinda got a little suspicious... I asked someone if there was anything I needed to know about the deep roads expedition and they asked if I liked Carver and I said no because he was a jerk and they said play as I will and then there was the conversation that happened between Carver and Hawkes mother and I kinda got the impression taking him wasnt a good idea... so he became a Templar when Hawke got back

So, did you use iconic male or female Hawke? Or did you make Hawke look like yourself?

GWs have the taint; so why does the Old God soul kill both the GW and the OG/AD? If you do the DR, however, neither Morrigan nor the GW child is killed. What exactly does the DR do to make this possible. My personal theory is that because a drop of Archdemon blood is used in the Joining (although the lore is iffy it's required), this means that essentially a fragment of an Archdemon always exists within the blood of Grey Wardens. When a slain Archdemon automatically jumps into a Grey Warden as the nearest tainted vessel, both are obliterated because either the body thinks there's already an Old God present in the host, or the transformation process attempts to resurrect both the Old God soul that's jumped in and the fragment in the blood at the same time. It also doesn't help that the Warden is an unprepared vessel. We've seen several instances of preparation being required for someone to house a powerful spirit within them. Flemeth extensively train her daughters for years until they were ready and Morrigan had to do an complicated blood ritual so Kieran could safely house the Old God soul. Even then it requires a lot of criteria be met, as a codex in JoH further mentions that Gurd Harofsen was an unsuitable host for Hakkon, even if he hadn't tried to blitz through the preparation rituals. So the Grey Warden is killed due to multiple factors; resisting the transfer ("a soul cannot be forced on the unwilling" according to Flemeth), the process getting disrupted by the "Archdemon" it might think is already present in the host, having one or more Archdemons attempting to resurrect in their body, not being being properly prepared as a vessel, not meeting the requirements to be a vessel, not being able to contain Old God's power, or all of the above. (At least, that's my take on it.)

My answer is that there is no real logical sense in any of these and that the writers put this rules there for story sake.
Corypheus don't have any issue to gain control of the GW bodies and he does not need to make any preparation to do that, he pretty much can force the will of anyone to do that so what Flemeth said is wrong.
Archdemons can reborn in unprepared vessels or have we forgotten that they use regular darkspawns in order to reborn?
If it is just a matter of will then an unconscious GW who is used to absorb the Old god shouldn't die because when someone is not awake there is no will.

Are we sure it is the soul that makes the old god powerful or the fact that it was in the most powerful of the Dragons?From what i saw in DAI Kieran isn't even remotly comparable to the original Urthemiel or the Archdemon,just as Flemeth body is more weak than Solas as the host of Mythal.
