Most significant RP moments

My inquis are often carebears. So most of them convince the guy, who's mother had breathing issues to return to his parents after he gave me the medicine for her. And they don't go hard on Ritts, the elven scout that was passing time with the mage girl, when they were both attacked by templars.

Recently, I started to play a dwarf commenor for DA:O. He was very aggressive with his mother and butted heads with Leske. He was use to being treated like trash and would respond to hostile insults in kind, then he met Duncan and was taken aback by someone of supposed higher standing not being disgusted by him. He still had no hope of him being chosen for the Grey Wardens, in fact it never really crossed his mind that someone would want him. He would live and die as a carta thug, but then when he was chosen. Now he's bewildered by the fact that he surrounded by people who are decent to him and surprisingly respect him. Now he's more neutral in his dealings with people. Not a cuddle bunny, but not a jerkass either. He might be able to let the Carat thing fade.

My first cannon character, Revas Surana, treated DA:O as more of an exciting adventure then anything else. She was finally out of the Tower and she was going to enjoy it. A bit of hedonist who managed to get a lot of her things to go her way. Since I headcannoned that she didn't really have friends in the Tower outside of Jowan, she wasn't as distraught by what happened as she might should have been. But then DA:A comes around and she must make a choice between saving the city or the keep. She chose the keep. I established early in the origin story, she is extremely loyal to her close friends. She believes strongly that you look out for your own and so she could never bring herself in abandoning her own crew, even if the keep was upgraded all the way. She just can't. Now she has a pretty bad reputation around there and is believed to be evil. Her fun adventure is no longer any fun.

Yes, I found out by accident, because I have a few playthroughs at the moment and did go to the boy with one character, I had already finished the quest and got the dialogue. You get a nice thankyou from the father after that. And since that was so sweet, I do it with all my characters now

Having my Carta Cadash punch Solas was one of the most satisfying RP moments of the game for me.



This was after learning the truth in a previous Trespasser run. Before that, I always tried to be a friend to Solas, or I ignored him completely (male Dalish).

It was determined roleplaying because almost every dig against the Fade, spirits, mages, freedom, justice, etc., was against my personal preference, but that's what's necessary to max out Solas's disapproval. Cadash having a criminal past certainly helped and I embraced the Carta in RP. Every leadership decision my Inquisitor made was an answer to the question, "Which option will net the most loot?" Too bad there wasn't a Judgment option to accept a bribe from the accused -- Cadash would have taken that every time.

This is great; I had an almost identical dynamic with my first Inq and Sera. Not a "douchy" Inq, mind you, more of a pragmatic/"greater good"-minded mage and a bit of an elitist -- someone A LOT like Vivienne (who Sera does not like, and the feeling is mutual). Based on what I read about Sera in pre-release, I expected to have issues with her.

But, as with your Renegade Inq, the opposite actually happened. There's an option on the dialogue-wheel when talking to Sera soon after the coronation scene that reads something like, "I need doubters like you." I would say that about perfectly summed up what made Sera valuable to him; she kind of "kept him honest," if you will.

My DAO Aeducan. Started out all vapid and goofy, asking Gorim who this peasant was that was addressing him and such. Once he became a Grey Warden, he started going from picking the self-serving options to the more noble responses as he started taking his duties seriously.

Ultimately, he US himself. The only character I played who did so.

I didn't play the expansion with my Aeducan.

Nor my Marhariel (who was kind of a douche) as I imagined him ditching the whole Grey Warden thing after he encouraged Alistair to kill the archdemon 

So, 2nd PT of DA2, I wanted to do all the things I'd not done. I was playing this Hawke, a mage no less, who was siding with the Templars. She was a major hypocrite, gotta say. And I made myself side with Meredith at the end and played that to the end and the whole thing was kinda traumatic because WHO DOES THAT And it burned in my brain, how could I make the decision my Hawke made make sense to my mind? So I spent about 3 ish hours writing out the entire end of DA2 with this Hawke, so that she would become less alien, less...someone I couldn't stand. Her motivations, and thoughts, regrets...

There was this amazing moment where Warden Carver asks "I came back to help you but...How can you be killing your own people?" And that really drove it home, that she'd made the wrong choice, even though she couldn't turn back the clock and unmake it. I sat there, as my Hawke stood there, looking at Carver in shock. The boy become man who had resented her magic for so long had turned his back on his fellow Wardens just to come back to help her and her fellow mages, and was shocked to find her amidst the flames of battle killing the very mages he'd been coming to protect. I get surprised often, by the characters I make; like the Hawke already mentioned, she became my "atonement" focused Hawke who sacrificed herself in the Fade- I bawled for half an hour about her leaving Anders behind and all her hopes and dreams for them both coming to an end.

Anyway. Carver asking that in that moment was pretty amazing and gave a lot of character development for a character I came to love, despite being a very confused hypocritical mage I had meant to throw away.
