But why would they just reenact their history for all eternity? Trying to impress the visitors? And that warrior guy appeared at least twice.

Edit: Plus, don't darkspawn appear too? They have no souls.

Could that have been what happened to Shale? Wilhelm found some way to restore her spirit to her?

Nah. Golems retain their minds after being made into golems.

It's just that most of them go insane . . . and quiet frankly how could they not? The Deep Roads are a depressing place.

Also, the devs have said that the lyrium is not the reason for the Dwarven Resistance (which prevents magic or entering the Fade naturally) but that it is the other way around: Dwarven Resistance is the reason they can be around lyrium more than others.



Sure, lyrium is liquid magic, but I'd be terribly disappointed if it was just a deus ex machina for the writers.



"Why does this do that? Why does this happen when X does Y?"

"Um . . lyrium!"

Kal'Hirol was a thaig specialised in refining Lyrium. So the only logical explanation is the presence of Lyrium, that is shows to produce these kinds of things when in abundance.

Why indeed?

I'm thinking . . . it's a bit like when an image gets burned into your TV screen. You may be watching something else but that other image will always be there. Only clearly visible when you turn the TV off.

I'm betting the lyrium does it.

The Fade spirits do have a fondness for replicating things from the real world . . . or so I hear.

Then again . . . that doesn't really explain why they bleed everywhere and can be affected by blood magic.

Same goes for trees, wraiths and animated armor.

Sure. Girls. Boys.

So is it at all weird that I was glad to stop Tali from being exiled for political reasons because of the DN origin?

It reminded me of that. The DN was exiled because Bhelen wanted the throne (politics) and also because he's jealous of her for whatever reason, the Assembly were all being bribed (more politics that had nothing to do with Trian's death which was what she was officially charged with), and because her father wanted to keep the throne (not THAT badly apparently but still politics). The trial wasn't about Tali either and if it weren't for Shepard than she would have suffered the same fate as the DN.

You'll probably have a difficult time RP a character if you don't know how you're pronouncing their name.

You can pronounce it however you want to. What was your first impression when reading it?

Edit: Atryd Aeducan... I approve of the alliteration.  Posted Image

Hmn, I just noticed that the Orzammar Proving Master looks distinctly different in the DN origin than he does in both the DC origin and later on during the return. Is it supposed to be the same guy? Because he has the same voice.

I noticed that, too. The DN has brown hair, right? And the one in the game recognizes both dwarves...

Oh, you're doing another DC playthrough? 
Remember, I tend to assume DN unless specifically told otherwise. Posted Image

Yeah, the DN version has brown hair and Harrowmont's beard. The DC and PoHK versions have gray hair and Endrin's beard. Maybe they changed it for the DN because he really looks a lot like Endrin with his hair pulled back.

Maybe there are two Proving Masters? The older one looks like he's nearing retirement, after all.
