It had to be done, for SCIENCE!

This reminded me of the movie called the wave where a history teacher decides to make the students recreate Germany pre-WW2. I liked that one, show those snot-nosed kids that evil isn't as obvious as you'd think it would be (or as I see it, nonexistent).

Edit: It apparently was a book before it became a movie.

Yeah, that's similar to Lord of the Flies, which I'm sure we've all been forced to study at school at some point. Actually the trope of being stranded from humanity and OH GOD WHAT HAVE WE BECOME is fairly common, I can think of a few movies (some ****ty, some not) where that's explained.

What makes Miligram mroe terrifying is that it's ordinary people under the pretense of something as blah as a quiz.

Urgh what cheery thoughts I have today, thanks humanity research.

[Herr Uhl]

I wonder if anyone thought about why it had to be them asking the questions, and not the scientist guy.



And let your inner cynic loose.

Ok, sorry to put this back on topic, but I really have something that irkes me.

How do I get Harrowmont to name the DN his successor in the epilogue? Is there anything specifically mentioned or is it just an underlying possibility? I only seem to get "Harrowmont sucked as a ruler then died"after which "DN became a paragon and funded his own house because he's so awesome."

Nothing suggesting he was named heir, nothing specific at least. Did I miss something?

You didn't miss anything. You're just the head of House Aeducan and could also found your own House if you want but given how quickly Harrowmont dies, your status as a Paragon, the fact people love you anyway, the fact you were royalty anyway, and the fact that you defeated a Blight should you decide to try for King you'll have a strong case. Of course, keeping things consistent for all origins is the biggest obstacle the DN would be likely to have although until we get a sequel specifying that the Warden disappeared within five years or that, I don't know, Dulin took over after Harrowmont died then it's still a valid possiblity.

And should that happen then there'a always AU.

Ah, my thanks for clearing that up for me then. Your frustration slaying skills are peerless.

Serena's game is over...She's now Chancellor to the King, and apparently running Ferelden while he's at Weisshaupt. Gorim is in Orzammar taking care of business, and she said she'd get there as soon as she could get away. Not sure I'll ever play Awakening with her, but she was fun!



Charging towards the archedom with Kardol (don't ask about the blue tat I do not know!) was awesome.





As was fighting with him...





And, as befitting a dwarf...I got the glory...

[Sarah1281]

So do you plan on having the Chancellor thing be long-term or try to become Queen once Harrowmont dies?

Game's over for her. All I plan to do is create my next character unless Bioware puts something like that in the game.

So you haven't planned out a future for her? It's just 'Right now I am Chancellor and Gorim is going back to Orzammar' and that's it?

Well...yes. I mean the game ended. I only work with what the game gives me, I have enough "what if's" in my real life, I'm not going to create more in my "relax" time.

[soignee]

I#m the same with characters that I don't write about, Jess. ffffffffffffffff that. My Mahariel can wander his Ferelden sobbing for Morrigan, that's about all I got in me to think about. I'll live vicariously through Ximena's awesome Morrigan comics for Morri/Warden reunion fun.

Yes, yes you have.

*has also made an ending story for all his chars, nothing fancy but just to wrap it up*

Edit: The favorite of which were a mage that ended up dying alone after spending his short life stalking Liselle. He then died in his sleep (well, was killed) at the age of 37 after getting on the wrong side of the mob. Alistair was allowed the "Hero" role as he wanted nothing of it, it was he that died after all.

I've only completed 3 runthroughs though. Sereda, Missa and Vardel.

I did have Aiden Cousland who is stuck at Orzammar nearly finished, but I know he ends his playthrough with wh*res and booze, probably not as prince-consort as damn as that's too much effort. He has his whiskey, his wh*res, the ability to hit things regularly... He is happy.

Funnily enough, he wasn't exactly well liked by the rest of the companions.

[Herr Uhl]

I rarely give them happy endings. The hapiest was my first (Bengt, avatar) that roams the lands half-heartedly searching for Morrigan with Zevran and Oghren.

Edit: Totally called Oghren and Felsi breaking up. In this one he at least didn't become a deadbeat dad.

[Sarah1281]

I don't believe in unhappy endings. I actually haven't played a DNM but has that stopped me from writing four one-shots about him and planning more? Hardly. My Amell is the one who the companions don't like because, well...Angelique is special. My DC was actually the one I had the hardest time figuring out what she wanted to do post-Blight but eventually I settled on 'return to Orzammar and spend most of her time reclaiming thaigs and killing darkspawn' because she hates the actual city.

[Corker]

Irini Cousland is going through the motions of Warden Commander of Ferelden, bereft of her bastard prince who died so heroically.  In time, she and Zevran might be each others' second chances at love.

Kallian Tabris probably ran somewhere with Zev, trying to avoid any further responsibilities or awkward questions about Old God Babies.

Lorelai Brosca's dead.

I have incredibly undevoted Wardens. No matter how different they are they all, to a person, take the ritual and then leave the Wardens for more interesting pastures.

[Cypher0020]

I'm playing a totally sheltered, kind hearted somewhat naive elf mage who idol is Morrigan.....so yeah...poor girl....and actually enjoys listening to Wynne and enjoys teasing Alistair and Sten...



Also thinks her dog is the cutest thing next to those adorable nugs....



Yes... I think all those lyrium potions has finally zapped her brain

I believe the Extra Tints & Tones mod is the culprit for the tattoo color change.  I have this mod installed and Kardol's tattoo is the same color as shown in your picture. Other npc's with tattoos have more intense colors as well, have not yet arrived at the Dalish Camp but I expect a more colorful scene than before.

Mine happily live in camp until they are needed again since I don't write about any of them, and the one I DID, well that project went pffffffffft and will likely never be finished.

Five hours? That's kind of sad...

So I was looking through DeviantART and I came across this and it amused me.

Sten would definitely approve.

So if Caridin's crown bears the ancient seal of House Ortan does that make him the founder of Orta's family line? I can't imagine why he'd put it on there otherwise. And it would explain why you need to pass through the Ortan Thaig to get to Caridin's Cross.



Also, you know that pro-Bhelen merchant Legnar? His VO notes for when you're a DN are very...interesting.



Legnar: Sod it all, the exile? Never thought I'd see your face in the commons. Never thought I'd be glad to, either, but this can only help Bhelen. (VO: Surprised, unsure how to react. "Charles Manson? I thought you were dead. This will make things interesting.") Whether he forgives you or you scare people, it's another crack in the old way. (VO: Approval of something under the table. "You will scare people into boting for the guy I like and he'll change things.")



I do have to wonder where he's getting all his information from, though? Not only does he recognize you despite just being a merchant when there are some people who should but simply don't (Gwidon, for instance) but he knows about Bhelen's tradition-changing ways and isn't afraid to tell anyone who talks to him about it, including Bhelen's estranged sister? This guy's GOOD.

I believe Oghren tells you that Caridin was a member of House Ortan before he became a Paragon, which implies that it pre-dates him. Its rather unclear whether he founded his own house, though. Seeing as he put Orta's seal on the Crown, I guess he probably didn't.

TBH, I don't really get the whole 'Paragon-forged Crown' thing. I mean, you disappear into the Deep Roads for say 3-ish days and come back with a shiny hat and a story that has utterly no corroborative evidence (especially if you sided with Caridin), and eveyone believes you just because the crown is apparently made by a Paragon (how on earth can they tell that?).

This guy's GOOD.

Legnar knows what's up. He has his ear to the Stone. That said, Bhelen's changing-ways are, I suspect, not really that secret. I mean both criers talk about his 'upcoming marriage to a casteless' quite openly - and as a positive or negative depending on the crier.
