Soignee: How the hell do you find the will to write so much?

It's possible that the dialogue you're looking for is only possible during the first reunion conversation with Gorim. Like the Oghren/Gorim dialogue that only triggers the first time you speak to Gorim as a non-DN.

Oh, I know. I make a save before I talk to Gorim and if the line doesn't show up, I go back to the previous save and keep working on it. Gorim has given me the Aeducan shield a a dozen times already. =p

Ah...so I need coffee..okay. Was just reading some **** that coffee stimulates the part of the brain responsible for imagination, as does exercise.

I exercise 4-5 times a week too! hehehe I get weird ideas during yoga the most. I do aerobics on monday, boxercise (urgh the worse) tomorrow stretch and tone on thursday and maybe a pilate/yoga class on the weekend if I feel like it. I got Wii fit too which I occasionally poke.



I honestly do it for the buzz after, it's like free drugs, or the best expresso shot that lasts hours after. Boxercise is gruelling (my instructor is like a 5'1" grinning puniisher of a woman) but after I feel like I can do anything and OH GOD I AM AMPED WAIT I NEED TO DO MORE EXERCISE LET'S GOOOOOOO



woah oversharing on the internets, carry on.

Everyone knows that dwarves are naturally awesoma :) That's what Zamrako, my wealthy, casanova, dual wielding dwarf noble has to say. Dwarves are awesome

Oh man. I just finished Origins with my solo Dwarven Noble. Was sooooo satisfying. I chose to marry alistair to anora, and convinced alistair to shag morrigan, the poor bugger. I really took advantage of him in this playthrough, but I was so happy with the ending, especially when Gorim told me he would go back to Orzammar with me. Most satisfying playthrough I've done.



By the way, the Broodmother plotline becomes all the more creepy when you're playing as a solo female dwarf!

Yeah, I pissed off Alistair bad in my DN game and Gorim telling me he's coming home to Orzammar with me seemed to make everything better. He's a good soul, that one!

My exercise routine consists of:

GET OFF THE TREADMILL.

I SAID GET OFF.

Wait. Let me finish this lap. I SAID GET OFF.

I actually have a notepad I keep on the mantle to keep track of how far I walked in between the times the toddler wants his turn to walk on the treadmill. I'm lucky if I can finish it all in one go. Have to break it up or do it during his naps, but I have errands that need to be done while he's napping sooo ... =p

You get the idea.

Yeah, I'm glad he supplemented the Loghain happy at me since he's so awesome but I do wonder how thrilled his wife is about the sudden move.

Just started a new DN run, and plan to take it all the way through for the first time. Look out, Ferelden: Vidar Aeducan is here, and he's not happy.

Vidar? What's your source of inspiration?

Hey, I got an idea for a fun little game we can have. Everyone tell us how they got their Dwarven names, what do they mean / symbolise, why....etc.

I have only one Dwarven character (as of yet), whose name is Dain Aeducan. I got the name Dain from LOTR Battle for Middle Earth 2, where Dain is the King of the Dwarves of Erebor. I initially thought it was a cool sounding name that went well with "Aeducan" and that it's unquestionably Dwarven. But I remembered that Dain had close relations with the human surfacers near his kingdom called the men of Dale (ironic I know). So seeing how poor Dain is going to become a surfacer and has to deal with pesky humans, I thought this name would be appropriate.

That's spooky KoP, my Dwarf Noble sitting in Ostagar waiting for his game turn is named Dain as well, but I took it off Arthur Dayne from the Song of Fire and Ice Series as he was it's version of King Arthur, and I figured Dain sounded more Dwarvish than Dayne. Now I may have to rename him, damn you. You better not have humans named Rhys, I'm just saying.

I just stuck with Duran... it just seemed fitting, unlike other names. For example I can't stand the human male noble name. Aedan, what kind of name is that anyway?!



I have completed the game on DNM, DEF, HNM and DCF while also having a CEM and Mage F in their early stages, and the HN is the only one I felt I needed to change his name, which I did to Boromir...



Yes cliche and all that, but truthfully I built my character around the ideas of the man. Honorable and just but also willing to go to extremes to help his people. Seemed fitting since he was a Warrior Tank.



P.S. As you can guess I am terrible at naming characters. My WoW characters had names such as Io, then Costin.

Mine is a lot less thought-out than that. I liked the name Sereda but hate using default names (I really, really hate all the Elissa Couslands out there especially) and I hated 'Natia' so I decided Sereda Brosca sounded decent and went with that.



For my DN, I went to a dwarf-name generator and kept going through names until I found two that seemed decent and were alliterations: Anika and Aunn. Anika, apparently, was also the name of the Paragon Aeducan's wife but I didn't know that at the time. I couldn't decide and so I went to go ask my little brother. He was busy with some online PS3 shooter game but he liked Aunn better so there you go.

It's a historical name that ties into the name Fergus. I always liked it, reminds me of Aeda which I used in SW:Galaxies. :P

I took the name Vidar from the Norse god of vengeance. He was a son of Odin and one of the only Aesir prophesied to survive Ragnarok and the only one to rival Thor in strength.

It seemed appropriate. And it sounds cool. ;P

My DC Templar is named Shango, after the Yoruba god of thunder and lightning. He was also used as a symbol of African resistance against European enslavement.

Yea sounds better on a mage.

My canonical HN's name is Arcturus, inspired from Arcturus Mengsk from StarCraft and Saren's last name, which is Arterius. I just like to sound of it and it sounds like a roguish name. My other HN's name is Arthas, from warcraft. My elven mage's name is Alim, the default name. I like it because alim is Arabic means scientist or scholar, so I thought it was cool. My hedonist chaotic human mage's name is Salazar, because I love how the name sounds.

Missa Brosca is Missa because I wanted something vaguely feminine for a pragmatic, spunky character which didn't work. Also it's quite handy for Miss Brosca lulz (or Miss Brasca if you are Antivan....)



Sereda Aeducan is Sereda becasue IT'S PRETTY OKAY and the default name reminds me that everything has been picked out for her in life previous to the Wardens and she had NO CHOICE.

Try spelling Aedan...it just sounds silly.

Knight: Salazar is indeed awesome. If there is anything to be lauded about J.K.R. is the way she named her characters.

She took the name from the Porteguese dictator Salazar.
