Dragon Age: Origins - Page 41

Hmm.  Despite being completely faithful to Morrigan, Awakening gave me the "some say he returned to the red-headed bard Leliana" epilogue, which apparently occurs when she's in love with you post-Origins.  Fair enough, as her approval was really high.  But this had better not affect the final scene of Witch Hunt for me.

 

Also, I am completely and totally on The Architect's side.

Who wouldn't be? The Architect is a good-alignment Darkspawn version of Duncan.

 

Did anybody ever get any references to Shayle's fate in any of the expansions? My playthrough had Wynne escort Shayle to some magic dwarfening ritual, but Wynne didn't say peep about it in Awakenings.

I've seen quite a few people who think smarter darkspawn are a major threat; but really, they're already hell-bent on destroying everyone on the surface.  Even if removing the call doesn't end the Blights, it at least weakens a few of their numbers when they make it topside.

 

Also, it's clear The Architect is making a progression in his thinking, from The Calling to Awakening.  His plan changed quite a bit in those 20-odd years.

And that, as they say, is that.  My Warden went with Morrigan into the unknown future.

 

Saw a similar thread on the BioWare forums, so I figured I'd pose the question now -- which save are you importing into Dragon Age II?

Mine--

 

Darrian, City Elf

 

ORIGINS:

 

-Circle Tower:  Sided w/ Templars.

-Brecillian Forest:  Curse broken.

-Orzammar:  King Bhelen; Anvil of the Void destroyed.

-Redcliffe:  Citizens alive; sacrificed Isolde to save Conner.

-Hardened Alistair and Leliana.

-"Killed" Flemeth.

-Defiled the Sacred Ashes; sided with cult; killed Guardian.

-Killed Ser Cauthrien upon escape.

-Landsmeet:  Killed Loghain; united King Alistair and Queen Anora.

-Dark Ritual:  Oh yeah.  Baby Old God a-comin'.

-Wynne and Zevran killed along the way.

 

AWAKENING:

 

-Defended Amaranthine.  Vigil's Keep held for a week.

-Spared the Architect.

-Justice killed at the Keep.  Everyone else alive.

 

WITCH HUNT:

 

-Went through the Eluvian with Morrigan.

 

 

 

I had a sensational story arc for my girlwarden. She started human noble, and did everything in a generally heroic fashion. Fell in love with Alistair, and became his queen. Spent the whole game making 'good' choices until the end. Then, because me and Alistair refused to be separated by death, we agreed he'd fuck Morrigan. So we ended up ruling the kingdom, but everything is fucked and we have a horrible secret that makes us cold and distant. It forces me to avoid him I'n Awakenings, where I ended up killing the architect, because I'm pissed off and turning slightly fascist. Finally, the only thing left to do is kill Morrigan, and with her, our terrible secret. So my initial fairy tale idealism has been rotted away by compromise and ambition. Goddamn operatic!

I've finally been playing this through the first time.  Been having a blast, occasional crash issues (PC).  Finally got to the Archdemon battle last night.  I was about 45 minutes in and it crashed again.  I don't really care about the other crashes, they happen and I'm a save fiend.  That final battle doesn't give save options though, so I'm trying to talk myself into even starting it up again because another crash will just end the game for me.

My INCREDIBLY AWESOME (though perhaps not quite as awesome as Arjen's) IMPORT STORYLINE:

 

• Aedan Cousland, Human Noble Templar

 

Origins:

 

• Circle Tower: Sided w/ Templars.
• Brecillian Forest: Curse broken. No werewolf-army for Leto.
• Orzammar: King Harrowmont; Anvil of the Void destroyed. Crazy, selfish dwarf-bitch killed.
• Redcliffe: Citizens alive; Connor and Isolde alive. Killed the demon inside the Fade using solo mage.
• Hardened Alistair.
• Got with Leliana and hit that.
• Pussied out with Flemeth. Took her "bribe." Epic fight fails to materialize.
• Preserved the Sacred Ashes; sided against the cult. Rang the gong; killed the Dragon; killed Father Kolgrim.
• Killed Ser Cauthrien after escaping the fort.
• Landsmeet: Spared Loghain; Alistair leaves, and Queen Anora is coronated.
• Dark Ritual: Duh. WINNER.
• Zevran killed, due to me not buttering him up enough beforehand. Closeted gay shame-sex fails to materialize.

 

Awakening:

 

• Defended Amaranthine. Vigil's Keep held for a week.
• Spared the Architect.
• Justice alive all the way to the very end.

 

Witch Hunt:

 

• Allowed Morrigan to leave through the Eluvian after throwing a stunted-man-baby hissy-fit tantrum first (having romanced/committed to Leliana).

 

Apologies to The Dark Shape for co-opting his formatting; it was simply incredibly convenient and time-saving.

 

I worry for the day Arjen's Warden comes back to Ferelden; that girl will start her own Blight. 

Properly, she and Alistair will be the last boss my new hero, Ethan Hawke, will fight.
