I always think it sucks that if you want the dwarves to get out of the rut of traditionalism and prosper in the future, you have to choose Bhelen. So without meta-gaming I opt for Harrowmount because he seems to have more integrity but with hindsight I'm prepared to overlook Bhelen's crimes because of the long term benefits for the dwarves. This is exactly how I feel. My canon character is a female Dwarven noble, so despite not being interested in politics, it was pretty obvious whom I’d help become king. Later, I read the epilogues and realised that I kinda prefered the outcome for Bhelen. It even fit with how my Dwarven Warden saw the future of the dwarven race. Because of her personal vendetta, my warden ended up doing something less optimal. Incidentally, this is one of the reasons I loved Origins so much and fell in love with DA in general. The fact that you get so personally invested on behalf of your character.

Cameos like these give us somewhat more connection to the game world. Which is cool. But they also in a way make the world smaller. Which is uncool. Either way I'm game. 😎 I unterstand this argument but they are already in Tevinter. So it wouldn´t be forced for example Herren and Wade. I really like them but they have no reason to be in Tevinter.
Also the City Elf Origins needs some Love from Bioware comparing to other Origins.

Either way I'm game. 😎 I unterstand this argument but they are already in Tevinter. I'd agree with the last comment. We know they were sent to Tevinter so it hardly makes the world smaller if we should run into them or even be one of them. It is being suggested that various characters from the comics should be in the next game and that really makes the world much smaller too. Was it not convenient that Maevaris just happened to be a friend of Dorian in DAI? Or that Hawke's cousin turned out to be a member of the Red Jennies? Or even that another of Hawke's cousins turned out to be the human mage in the DAO mage origin story? The writers have made a lot of little and larger links between the games, comics and novels, so I don't think linking to the city elf story in DAO is going to adversely affect the game world more than any of these.

These guys will probably disappear into the background like the Night Elves from the Stolen Throne, or that Dalish settlement in the Hinterlands that never happened. I think that they were meant to show the real danger that Elves face even in a 'moderate' nation like Ferelden the higher ups have no qualms about selling them off. For an Elf Warden it just gives us one more reason to lop off Loghain's head. A new game means new characters and we don't need old ones to make us care about characters in game.

Would she, though? It will probably have been at least 15 years by that point. I mean, I suppose it could be in the vein of " sigh This is the life I could/should have had." But given that she had only just met Soris and it was an arranged marriage, it seems unlikely that she would be pining away for him after all that time. Besides, for all she knows, Soris could easily have been killed, or even enslaved himself and shipped elsewhere in the Imperium. And even if he wasn't killed or enslaved by the Tevinters, he could have been killed when the Darkspawn attacked Denerim during the Blight.
She has no way of knowing what happened to him after she was taken away, so it's not unreasonable if she gave him up for dead, no more than he might have for her. Or else, come to understand that there was zero chance of ever seeing the other again.

That's like saying she's happy to be held captive under slave master despite being kidnapped from her home. That's ridiculous. This was in fact exactly my reaction when Dorian suggested that being a slave in Tevinter was better than living in a slum or alienage in southern Thedas. However, it has to be acknowledged that some slaves seem to make the best of their situation. Naturally she would never be happy with the means by which she was sent to Tevinter but it is still possible that she might actually have greater status as a slave than she did as an alienage elf. Of course Valora is going to do what she has to do to survive. That's just plain common sense. And of course Dorian will never see slavery as a heinous crime, because it doesn't affect him and doesn't care about it. I'm not surprised that he mistreated his "servants" before he left.

I'm not surprised that he mistreated his "servants" before he left. I don't think it is ever suggested that he mistreats his slaves. In fact he denies actually owning any himself. That would actually make sense because the slaves belonged to his parents and once he left home he spent the next 2 years as a wandering drifter, living off friends and distant relatives, so he would not have been financially in a position to have slaves. He claims his family treated their slaves well but admits that others do not. Mind you, I wonder what the source of blood was going to be that Halward was intending using in his ritual? I'd hazard a guess it was not likely to be his own. Of course, now Dorian is a Magister I assume he has inherited his father's estates as well, including the slaves. So I doubt he could now excuse himself on the grounds that he has none.
