Hello everyone, a long-time fan of ME trilogy here and a recent ME3 MP player. I know I'm years late to the party (actually, even late to the next one called Andromeda), but I would be very happy if I could find people who are still playing this game and are enjoying it. I am a PUG in the worst sense of the word, but I'm a literate one, so hereby I confirm that I've read the forum rules and solemnly promise to behave well and not to sh... er, contaminate it. Thanks for welcoming me here!

I've read the forum rules and solemnly promise to behave well and not to sh... er, contaminate it. I think you're fairly safe, contamination hits the fan on a reasonably regular basis around here. But discussing which direction it's flying in (and then tidying it up) is half the fun... Within the rules of course.

That's what I got from the rules, and that's what I was hoping to find here. Not a fan of sterile environments, they destroy your immune system - ask quarians about that But not a fan of "those-places-that-must-not-be-named" either, people there cross the line way too often, though they are the necessary evil - thanks to them, the rest of teh internets is a better place. Anyways, thanks for agreeing to put up with me being here - and kick my sorry buttocks from one end of the Citadel forum to the other if I do wrong.

Dragon Age Origins - Wynne asks about Leliana
Greetings gamers! I'm Daniel, and I am currently wrapped up in playing Dragon Age Origins. I recently acquired the game and fell in love with it. Right now, I'm playing three diferent DAO games simultaneously. I was eager to see how the story plays out with very different types of characters. As I suspected, the main storyline plays the same with any character, except for subtle dialog differences pertaining to the individual character (And certain name references interjected... such as my human female noble looking for her brother, and his name comes up ocasionally). I was intrigued by the differences in the character's beginning storyline - which differs greatly according to the character. I am playing; a human female noble, a human male mage, and an elf female rogue (city elf). I was also delighted to see the brief interlude occur between Iona and my human noble... too bad she dies so quickly... and with no way to defend her.
In any case, enough of the introduction to me... I want DAO gamers to be aware of an interesting tidbit I found...
I discovered an interesting character dialogue, one which I have not seen on any lists. It will likely occur sometime after gaining Wynne as a companion and after a certain approval rating... If your Warden (either male or female) is romantically involved with Leliana (at least to the Adore level), and if you also have Wynne as a companion (with any approval above Nuetral), at some point in your conversations with Wynne (simply activating a dialogue), she will initiate a question about Leliana, and what your 'intentions' are. Her query is to advise you that as a Grey Warden, you cannot devote yourself to both a relationship and your duty... that you may have to choose one day whether to sacrifice Leliana or everyone else. She implies that you should end it with Leliana and devote your attention to the duty of Grey Wardens. You can opt to tell her off or politely 'consider' her opinion. Since I am only half-way through the game, I have no idea if this interchange has any effect on Leliana at a later time.
Has anyone else experienced this dialog in gameplay? The first time I got this, it surprised me. I didn't expect that any other characters (beside Alistair and Leliana) would be so involved in the affairs of others. I know that if you try to romance both Alistair & Leliana, one or both will ask you about your intentions toward the other and make you choose between them. But, to have Wynne interject her opinions - especially since she barely knows Leliana or me - surprised me. (To be fair, she seems genuinely concerned that I spare the "poor child" the heartache. Since I had never seen a script of this particular conversation on any web page, I had to wing it, stay polite, be kind and truthful. (Attributes I give to my character.)
I replayed that segment a few times with different answers to see the results. The outcome of the conversation is relatively the same... and to answer the question; No... it has absolutely no effect on Wynne's approval rating of you. Whether or not it has lasting effects on the romance is still a mystery.
Thanks for reading my ramble. Play on!

Dragon Age Origins - Just an observation about Morrigan.
Just wanted to add on another tidbit I learned. As any DAO gamer knows, pursuing a romantic relationship with Morrigan is quick and easy, but fruitless in the long run. Yes, you can continue "inviting her into your tent", and she will always agree... but it gets repetitive and never changes anything... And of course, they only show the 'sex' scene one time... after that, it's just a kiss and fade to black.
However, it's much more rewarding to retain her as a friend... especially if your Warden is female... if male, the sex will come into play, but if you refuse, you may lose quite a lot of approval.
As a female friend to Leliana - since she obviously has no romantic interest in women - she becomes much softer and more intimate. I am playing an elf female and I have my approval from Morrigan up to 100 points... so she initiated a conversation about how surprised she was (in herself) that she could ever have me as a friend, and how nice it is to have me as her close friend... or 'sister' as she calls it... thereafter, in all our dialogues, she calls me 'friend' and is much softer and sweeter in her tone and words.
Naturally, she then asks me for the favor to kill Flemeth and retrieve her book... which I already did... though I chose the coward's way out and negotiated with Flemeth to leave... that worked much better than trying to fight her as a dragon... especially since I am only in the early stages of the game... only level 10 rogue and no tanks yet. I decided to try the mission early abd this was my solution.
Despite what dialogue or consequences you have read about regarding lying to Morrigan that I killed Flemeth... my interplay with her afterward had no such comments... she thanked me profusely for getting the book and made no inquiry as to whether or not I killed Flemeth... her focus was on the book. So, I never actually said I killed her... and she never asked. Maybe it is because I am a female character... maybe she would ask only the male 'lover' character if he killed her. I don't know.

Welcome to the forums! Wynne has similar dialogues regarding each of your love interests. Her most extreme opinion is when you are romancing Zevran. You can actually get an approval gain in the follow up conversation.

Hey, I'm ExoArchivist, more commonly known as just "Exo". I joined the original BSN... I honestly don't quite know, but it was about the mid-2000's. I was never terribly active, and from what I saw other people getting involved with, I regret that.

hello! I stumbled upon this place some time ago while looking for the Geth Scanner texture mod that used to be on the old BSN, and then stayed to lurk and look through people's screenshots and MP stories. I usually play silver pugs in ME3MP, but warming up to Gold. (usually rolling with fat turians, they're my favorite) Over time I'm starting to recognize some of the usernames from here, which is pretty neat :smiles:

My name is Mitch. I was briefly on the old bsn boards. Left 'cause the games sucked after dev changes. Sulky ramblings were never my thing. Dunno who is left from back than-- I don't even know who the mods here are. ATM I am looking forward what the new blood at Bioware has in the works, though I hardly game anymore. I guess being in my thirties changed priorities. I was really into LARP and tabletops in my youth, gm'd for years. The whole Kickstarter/Fig Nostalgia isn't really my thing. I feel like the Rolling Stones are touring in a shopping mall for pocket change cause they are running out of dope, and not like playing the gaming gems from the 90's I grew up with. I read a lot fantasy and SF novels from different authors, and like to Netflix and Chill . Oh and I got shitfaced at Cinco de Mayo.

Thats what happened to me too, then I realized work isnt everything (in my case) and discovered Mass Effect 1 - been gaming since, mostly RPG's still.

Hey all, old BSN user popping in to say hey. I recently started playing ME3 again (put my saves into the cloud and started playing MP on my XB1), so I figured I'd make an account here in case anyone sees me online. I'll mostly be in Silver (I play to relax, and let's face it, the playerbase is not what it once was), but if you see a Collector Adept or Drell Infiltrator with my gamertag, feel free to say hey! I'm not sure how active I'll be on this forum, but I'm always nearby.

Hi!
After a few rough years, I'm finally coming back to gaming with passion and joining this forum is a part of that. I used to be in the Bioware Social Network and it was a bit weird to find out they closed it.
I'm a massive Mass Effect and Dragon Age fan, Andromeda was a great experience for me and a reminder of how much I could enjoy a game and immerse into a different world, just like I used to. I recently finished DA: Inquisition which lead me to join this forum to discuss the lore of it and get a better picture of it's universe (mainly Elven history and the veil).
To finish my introduction, I would like to give a massive thanks to the people behind this forum.
Best regards,
Zubi

Hello, my name is Ryan and I live in Oconomowoc Wisconsin in the U.S.A. I have been a Bioware fan since Knights of the Old Republic and I've been playing Mass Effect since the launch of the series. Love Mass Effect and Dragon Age, find it hard to play anything else really.. always end up going back to do another run of one, or the other. 1/2 of my Man Cave is dedicated to Mass Effect Collectibles. It would be hard to pick a favorite piece, the 2 18" Replica Ships, Statue Collection and Bioware 20th Anniversary Employee Coin are probably tops. Anyway, glad to be here to chat Mass Effect and Dragon Age.. and hopefully find the LAST piece to my Mass Effect Replica Ships collection.

Hello my fellow gaming and Bioware enthusiasts! I'm German, live in the US and my gamer tag is usually Agrona. Several of my MMO friends forget that I have a real name (those who know me) and just call me Aggy LOL So feel free to do the same.
I have been a Bioware fan since the original NWN games, played them all and more than once. However, I have no idea why it took me SO LONG to finally play Mass Effect! I thought it was just some weird space game, but wow... I should have known better. ME has taken one of the top spots in my all time favorite franchise list. (Dragon Age being up there, together with Deus Ex, Fallout and Elder Scrolls).
I just had to find an active forum to discuss these brilliant games, even so I am rather late to the party!
