Apologies if this is a well known fact already -- I had no clue until I saw it on reddit just now. When starting a new game, you choose a tarot card for difficulty. This is the Nightmare card:  Does that person look familiar? Resembles maybe this guy? |

Noticed - and it's definitely a proof that Duncan is still alive! He can think and talk! His head is just... off his body!

Wow... I know I've seen the card before, but just never really observed that it was Duncan. I don't play on nightmare, so haven't had too many opportunities to actually look at it.
Holding his own head. That's harsh, man.

I think the design is brilliant... and ouch.  I remember the discussion about it when it was first revealed and some people complaining that BioWare had "whitewashed" Duncan in the tarot card. |

I remember this! It's a shame they didn't make the other cards into little easter eggs, though. At least give us some lil punk on the easier difficulties.

Should have been Sandal on the card!
I never noticed this. My first thought was Blackwall but Duncan makes more sense.

I remember that card from WoT Vol. 2. Yeah, Duncan's super-dead.

This sort of makes sense. The Nightmare, well, THIS specific Fear Demon chose to focus or feed off the fear caused by the Blights. Who fears the Blights more than the Wardens? For the common people the Blight is only feared when it is actively threatening the world. Grey Wardens fear it constantly even in the centuries between Blights when the threat is dormant. Even Wardens that live without seeing a true Blight face it in their dreams and nightmares and fear the day when the Taint within them will consume them.
