1. I have one worldstate on the side that is completely dedicated to ruining everyone and everything. The worst possible scenario. And in my headcanon, the Warden of that worldstate is worse than the Archdemon.
2. I find playing a mage to be very difficult. In DA:O it limits my origins too much, in DA2 it makes me lose Bethany and in DA:I it makes me too biased to properly make the templars vs mages choice. On top of that I feel mages are too "overpowered" and too "special" for the protagonists.
3. I would've totally romanced Cassandra on my main Inquisitor if she were available for females. I could use a mod to romance her, but since it wouldn't be canon I can't bring myself to install the mod.

I've only played thrice, but I've never once completed all the mosaics or the astrarium puzzles. On the former, I'm a bit annoyed because two of the play throughs were completionist in that I didn't have a single quest undone. Which means, what, you have to go out of your way to find these useless things? Whereas I think I found all the alcohol. which IS annoying. I wish my search button didn't pick up on those things at all! I can't kill Alistair, I really can't. It's one of my DA rules of Play. But I recently heard that if he's in love with the Warden he'll sacrifice himself and I'm pondering experiencing that tragedy in the very far distant future and I can't help but think I'm a monster. @_@ My best party right now in DA2 Is Fenris, Sebastian, and Anders. But I'm jealous that Fenris is finding religion at Sebastian's urging and so I took him out of the party. Can I blame it on my RP of Evil Hawke who is very possessive? Because prior to this, a loving happy Hawke felt it would be great for Fenris to get some calm from religion. Although I've seen the nicer non stalker side of LEliana in Origins now, I still think I dislike the woman thoroughly for being an uncontrollable nutcase in DAI

Made him a drunk on two occasions also if I recall. Oh and I left him in the Fade in one run also.

In DA2 I did the trick where you just run past the Dalish and zone out. That way I could choose the dialouge option I wanted without having to kill them.
I tried doing that before but I ended up "in combat" due to proximity and I couldn't leave the zone. Do you have to run through the camp back to the main entrance? I tried using the back door but maybe it's too close.

I always harden Alistair, except when I'm playing a Fem!Cousland. In my defense, though, I put a mod in the game and I'm going for the gentler: 'You're not an idiot, you just need to stand up for yourself more.' With that said, I'll never have a Warden Alistair in Dragon Age Inquisition. I prefer Stroud to get the boot every time. *Maybe* I'll load a world where Loghain is a Warden though. Though it will still be an easy choice between him and Hawke. In DA2, I always play parallel playthroughs, one where Anders is romanced and one where my Hawke romances someone else, because rejecting him always makes me feel guilty. I always let Morrigan drink from the Well. I feel horrible for killing the dragons in DA:I, even though I try to rationalise - and the NPCs tell me - that they're dangerous. At least I can set one free in Trespasser. In fact, I try not to kill anything and anyone in DA:I unless it can't be helped - as in, I'm attacked first. Good to know someone else feels bad for the dragons! I especially feel bad killing the one in the Hinterlands, surrounded by all her babies. It would help if they were shown destroying villages or something, but instead they are mostly just minding their own business, living their dragony lives, when BAM! Some loser with their lame friends just up and attack them. I look forward to Dragon Age 5: Dragon's Revenge.

I feel bad killing dragons too, which is why I usually don't kill the ones minding their own business. Sometimes I do because....completionist needs a complete collection. However, Frosty, the Crestwood dragon, and the 3 in EdL are close enough to people to warrant hunting them every time. Also, the Abyssal High Dragon quest is too much fun to not do. But I usually leave the other ones alone, and I've always released the dragon in Trespasser (even on my first run when it took me forever to figure out how to do it).

Yup, I knew he could be made a warden, I loved him as warden but then I had to sacrifice Hawke in the fade, because I refused to lose Allister, and then Varric was so upset because Hawke was gone...it broke my heart. Not to mention leaving Anora on the throne didn't sit well with me. I've never played Allister as hardened...I cringe while writing this next question, but...damn...how hardened does Allister have to be before he keeps you as mistress? The only difference is you have to tell him that "Most people are out for themselves." I think, un modified, Alistair is very swayed by mass opinion. And the Warden saying that, in a sensitive moment when his mind is very receptive, gets him thiking that maybe everyone else's opinion doesn't matter so much and he should take his own council more. But Alistair absolutely does not want to be King at all, so you have to heavily disregard his opinion to put him on the throne. My 1st PT, I listened to him and let him be a Warden with my City Elf, so no sad ending. Yeah, I know Allister doesn't want to be king and I feel bad doing it to him.Another thing I haven't been able to figure out is how my Warden can claim the throne, I've hear that's possible, is it true? I 'd be willing to take it, even if I don't want it, so Allister doesn't have to, or is that only through marriage. I just have deep seeded greivences about Anora taking it and I'd put anyone but her on it...I DO think Morrigan would make a great queen though...but I always stay on her good side, I've never seen what she's like in a rivalry.

I just have deep seeded greivences about Anora taking it and I'd put anyone but her on it...I DO think Morrigan would make a great queen though...but I always stay on her good side, I've never seen what she's like in a rivalry. Non spoiler and short: You can claim the throne as a Cousland only. Long more interesting version that may include spoilers: You have to be a Cousland (human noble). The Cousland family is the #2 family, right behind the line of Therin. The line of Therin is Alistair's blood line of which King MArric and King Cailin were direct descendants. This line is huge because of Fereldan History; it is implied in the comics that Alistair's great great great great grandfather drank some Dragon Blood, kicked the asses of some invading forces, commanded the respect and support of all the local banns-- which CREATED Fereldan as a country. It hadn't been a country before. The Couslands helped and I think did some cool stuff of their own. It's part of the reason Loghain is so willing to throw that family under the bus and give the lands to Howe; a supporter of Loghain. The Couslands are so well supported and thought of in Fereldan, that if they had remained intact, Loghain would ever have been able to push Anora into the throne position.
As a male Cousland, you can have a political marriage with Anora and become Prince/King Consort. Although it is heavily implied later that you and Anora fall for each other...or, at least, that the feelings become more than polite.
As a female Cousland, with a hardened Alistair, you can enter a very romantic or even a political marriage with Alistair and become Queen Consort. The reason he still has to be hardened is, I think he worries for the Therin line ending completely with two Warden's banging on the throne. The fertility rates are pretty much non existant. So, even a female Cousland has to pick the right lines for it to go through.
No other race can be married to the Queen/King. Even a human mage isn't allowed on the throne and can be, at best, Alistair's mistress. The argument that a Mage cannot rule over man is the focus, but there is also the fact that the Amell line is only big in Kirkwall, and there is no political support or interest in an Amell being on the throne.

If you are Queen Consort to Alistair, there is an adorable and loving scene of flirtation that I remember quite warmly at the beginning of Awakenings. Talk about married bliss overload... You get nothing for marrying Anora. Since it's 100% a political marriage and she was't a romanceable companion, I guess they didn't feel the need to animate anything. Other than that scene, I think the Nobles of Awakening make comments about your royal ness. But otherwise, it's pretty much the same.

Yes, run to the main entrance. A few elves followed me so I had to kill them before I could exit.

I feel no remorse whatsoever leaving Stroud, Alistair, or Loghain in the fade. There is no way I'm killing Hawke. I like my jerk playthrough warden better than my "nice" warden, who I feel next to no attachment to. I have an unhealthy obsession with Hawke. I demand all Hawke all the time. I never liked Blackwall. Before I learned what he did, he came across as a self-righteous bore and I barely took him anywhere. After learning his dirty secret, it's obvious the self-righteousness is driven by guilt, but I still think he's boring. I like Shale enough that I wish she were a romance option, despite the...uh...difficulties. As much as I enjoy looking at Dorian's exposed bicep, I worry about him getting cold because he complains about it all the time. I have never understood why people would prefer one of these 3 over Hawke.From the Inquisitor Pov who doesn't know them i think they will prefer Hawke because Hawke is not tainted and can't be controlled by Cory and Also because Hawke may be a valid alternative to the well of sorrow since the blood of Hawke can be used to imprison Corypheus. The 3 wardens are not valuable at all compared to Hawke ,i would have killed all 3 togheter for Hawke.

I always thought Anora was a very good politician compared to Alister whom even in DAI isn' able to properly write a diplomatic letter. Marry Anora is an incredible advantage in DAO,not only i think she is a better ruler (and writer)than Alistair but actually one can marry her and not being forced to use the DR so it is a very flexible outcome beside she really seem to care for the warden in DAI from what i saw today from her codex in DAI.

But for story reasons, I do think it makes more sense for the Warden to be sacrificed. Not only do the Wardens already have a shortened lifespan (and a destiny to be killed by darkspawn) plus the possibility of being controlled, as you say...but the Wardens were the ones who started messing around with Corypheus (using Malcolm Hawke for their dark deeds in the process) in the first place. Hawke got pulled into the whole affair against his/her will. They are not to blame, despite the dialogue in the cutscene. So yes, I agree mostly

I (probably) never will leave my Hawke in the Fade (despite, that he has bigger chance to survive). He is not tainted, don't hear voices. And Anders/Fenris wait for him. I don't have warden Alistair, only king and drunk.

I have never understood why people would prefer one of these 3 over Hawke.From the Inquisitor Pov who doesn't know them i think they will prefer Hawke because Hawke is not tainted and can't be controlled by Cory and Also because Hawke may be a valid alternative to the well of sorrow since the blood of Hawke can be used to imprison Corypheus.
The 3 wardens are not valuable at all compared to Hawke ,i would have killed all 3 togheter for Hawke.
Not sure if that part is necessarily true. If the prison was still intact and the same spell holding, then I would say yes to the possibility. But the seals are broken, the spell gone. At this point, they would have to start all over again with a brand new binding spell, so anyone who wasn't tainted would be able to power it, just like they did originally. Or are you implying it was always Hawke blood that powered the ritual, since ancient times, and Malcolm was just the most recent to reinforce it? I actually hadn't thought of that possibility before....that would be most interesting.

Ah! Ok, thanks! That's something to contemplate...Damn...now I wanna see how being king/prince affects the beginning of Awakenings... If you are Queen Consort to Alistair, there is an adorable and loving scene of flirtation that I remember quite warmly at the beginning of Awakenings. Talk about married bliss overload... You get nothing for marrying Anora. Since it's 100% a political marriage and she was't a romanceable companion, I guess they didn't feel the need to animate anything. Other than that scene, I think the Nobles of Awakening make comments about your royal ness. But otherwise, it's pretty much the same. What about that Templar chick who comes for Anders, does she change her attitude at all? (I never tuen Anders over to her, she's a snake IMO)

"I'm the Queen now off with you" And then she said something like, "I don't care who you are." But I wouldn't set your heart on it because it's been a while. I played Awakenings last in March.

It bothers me that Leandra shows Hawke no affection whatsoever before she leaves for the Deep Roads. I mean:
Leandra: Look, I totally get that you want to go on this suicide mission, and that's cool, but I'm really glad you're not taking my favorite child with you.
*nods politely*
*leaves*

It bugs that my warden doesn't speak, it really does. I don't understand the big love on for Hawke, I really don't. I shake my head over the Mabari Cullen's so proud of in Tresspasser...it doesn't look very smart...in fact he looks kinda stunned...and i wanna bring out pictures of my warden's and Hawke's mabari to show him what a REAL mabari is supposed to look like. I don't know who I pity more, the dog for looking like that or Cullen for being so happy he has a dog.

Which means she thinks well of you. Then there is when you get to the Mansion in act 2. And the death speech. But yeah, Leandra wasn't actually that great a character. On BSN prime was this great discussion about how Gamlen was nicer than Leandra.

I'm sorry your Hawke isn't awesome enough It bothers me that Leandra shows Hawke no affection whatsoever before she leaves for the Deep Roads.

On BSN prime was this great discussion about how Gamlen was nicer than Leandra. I might have exaggerated just a bit with my paraphrasing. Most mothers love their children, and I don't doubt Leandra does too, but she just strikes me as a little self-centered in her treatment of Hawke and the surviving sibling. I know she's grieving for the dead one, but when she walks away all satisfied that one of her children is staying home without giving a proper goodbye to the one who she might very well never see again...it rubs me the wrong way. Also, on Hawke's behalf, I never got over her blaming Hawke and Bethany for Carver's death. Her apology didn't seem all that sincere or remorseful, as if she didn't understand (or even want to understand) how much that must have hurt her other two children to hear. "Oh, sorry for that sweetie. Me and my big mouth! Now, moving on..."** I have sympathy for Gamlen...when he isn't implying that he wants to watch his niece with her lesbian lover, anyway. **I think this is a problem with me though, leftover from childhood when everything that involved my younger brother in any way was my fault. But I'm not bitter...

I'm sorry your Hawke isn't awesome enough I feel bad for Hawke, especially after the quest with Leandra, but on the whole I got meh reaction from Hawke. Maybe because no matter what I did, my Hawkes always looked the same.
