Maybe Maric got to sample one of Endrin's concubines during a visit...

So that's what a half dwarf looks like, then?

Seems Bhelen's got royal blood alright...just the wrong royalty, wrong race.

Far out!

Oh, right. Bhelen's a guy so his mother could have been anyone and if Endrin think's he's the father then he'd still be a prince.

Dear god. I didn't think it was possible but now I have even more of a reason to kill Bhelen.

For what? Ruining the Alistair romance for both DN and DC that don't want to end up with someone who looks so much ike their sister's patron? 

[thegreateski]

No. Because it means that (former) king Maric has YET ANOTHER kid running around.



They're like cockroaches.

I think it's funny that Alistair's such a prude about sex (having it if not thinking about it) while his father more than did his part to rebuild the family bloodline.

[thegreateski]

Maybe we can make a game out of it.



The Warden hunts down and kills the entirety of the Theirin bloodline.



Gotta kill em all.

[Sarah1281]

If that's the case, though, how ever would Ferelden be able to continue into the next generation? Do you have any idea just how many people look freakisly like Alistair?

New comic by Aimo up on DA! I really love how she tackles the height issue because the "my dwarf is too short to romance anyone" is one of the silliest excuses I've seen for not pursuing romances with any of the main characters in the game. (I also love Soignee's earlier comment elsewhere which ties into this theme -- "I'm not drawing a diagram -- it is possible, people!")

Nice comic. Some people don't do a romance because of height? How strange. If nothing else Zevran's not that much taller than a dwarf. Then again, whenever I have a romanceless playthrough height hasn't even come up.

[Gilsa]

Some have said they can't get over the height differences. I've seen some say that's why they don't romance Zevran on their humans because he's shorter so it goes both ways.

Nooooo. You can't put screenshots in a photo album or enclose your fanfic in your holiday letters. Go live life and take lots of real pictures to share!

Beware surfers. They, more often then not, have crabs.

Hey, I was wondering something. Since I can't bring myself to go through an entire trip through Orzammar siding with Harrowmont just to find this out, what does Bhelen say when Oghren tells the Assembly about Branka/Caridin? For a DN, of course, it's 'And we are supposed to believe this? The word of a drunken sot and a murdreing exile known to be in Harrowmont's pocket?' I assume that for a none dwarf he says something about a surfacer instead but what about for the DC? Does he call you a casteless thug or something? The casteless part would definitely come up, I think. And what does he say if you side with him at the last second? I think I've only tried that as a DN. Does he have a specific reaction if you're a DC or just the generic non-DN one? And what is the generic one?

So, I need some help and I figure this is the best place to ask since this is the "unofficial dwarf" thread. I completed DA:O a few weeks after release with a mage and have since then bought Awakening and all of the DLC. The problem I'm having is that I just can't get into a playthough. I'll start a character, complete a few missions, then get bored and delete said character. My initial playthrough with Origins was going to be a dwarf but well as I said earlier I went with a mage. I'd like to rectify that.



What I'd like yalls help with is coming up with a character I won't eventually get bored of. I think my main problem is I always choose the decisions I would make and not necessarily the ones' my character would. I want to play a morally good person, although not against killing people, and someone who eventually comes to believe in the Maker. I think a DC would be better for this but I'm open to playing a DN if any of you think it'd be possible to get one into this mindset.



I'd also like for the character to be fully devoted to the Grey Warden cause and once everything is said and done not want to return to Orzammar, except for special occasions. Not sure which of the two origins fits better here. Both have reasons to not want to return but if they're fully devoted to the Grey Wardens they'd probably show up just to kill some darkspawn.



And now for the biggest two decisions; gender and class. I've never played a female character in a roleplaying game except in Mass Effect and that was only up until Kaiden started hitting on me and I got weirded out. I'm not against playing a female, in fact I think this would help me RP the character better, but I don't know if I can handle my bestest buddy Alistair hitting on me. Does he only make advances at you if you start it or is he going to pull a Kaiden on me and start it up himself?



As for class I'll probably go with a rogue as I've never actually gave it the time of day. I'd be willing to go warrior but if I did I'd go S&S and want to carry the Aeducan shield with me everywhere. I'd like to know what everyone else chose for their class on their dwarven characters though.

[Sarah1281]

Okay, Zevran hits on you no matter what gender and Leliana often ninja-romances you. Alistair's romance is really easy to initiate and sometimes it bugs that he thinks he's in a relationship with you if you're romancing someone else and he makes you choose. Still, nothing too bad.



If you're trying to stay completely away from Orzammar I think the DC would fit better as they have no reason to like it at all except their friend Leske (who dies) and their sister (who they can visit when they stop by and is in a good place by the time you return). The DN definitely has ties to Orzammar and so while it can be roleplayed that they want nothing to do with it I'd say it's an easier decision as a DC. Yes the DN has been betrayed and if Bhelen is the King (because he is better for the dwarves and they don't want the throne so they know Harrowmont's successor will be like him) then they might not feel able to live there but if Harrowmont's king they could become the successor and are the head of House Aeducan so it's their responsiblity to rebuild it since they killed off everyone important when they rebelled after Harrowmont won. They're also a Paragon which means they can form their own house and are nearly as important as the King and the DN would know this and just how to utilize that fully so turning their back on that to be a GW is a harder decision than the 'Orzammar sucks and everything thinks I should have been killed at birth' situation the DC is in. Still, loving Orzammar could mean wanting to protect it from darkspawn and being a GW is an even bigger honor in Orzammar than it is on the surface.



Dwarves obviously can't be mages so it's warrior or rouge...I usually go rogue because it's really annoying seeing all those locked doors/chests that your stupid warrior party members can't open. When I play DN as a rogue I use the Aeducan shield though it takes awhile to get the 30 or 31 strength needed to wield it.



Both the DC and the DN could be roleplayed as being a good person. The DC is trapped in a life of being a carta thug or (if a girl) a noble hutner like Rica. If they don't do this they'll die. If they suddenly have other options and can help other people in similar situations out like they wished someone had offered them a way out, why not take it?



The DN is a bit trickier but if they hated the politics of Orzammar or else got a brutal wakeup call when they either committed fratricide or was framed for it and betrayed by their living brother then I guess they could be welcoming of a reprieve from all the backstabbing and deceit. If you go the repentant route I'd recommend challenging Lord Dace at the feast to a Proving for insulting House Aeducan by trying to trick you and after seeing how distraught he was when you kill his son it can make you uneasy and start to question whether the boost to your reputation was worth killing the man's only child. The DN is raised in a very brutal political environment, after all, and if they don't play along then they'll get themselves killed because as a prince/princess they can't really stay in the background.



The DC could easily reject the dwarves ancestor worship that rejects them since casteless have no ancestors so why not go find a more welcoming religion? The DN would be harder as I don't see them ever outright rejecting the ancestors given how important they are to dwarven culture but I don't really think the two religions are mutually exclusive.

From the DA wiki...

Unlike many other cultures in Thedas, dwarves do not worship anthropomorphic god(s). Their beliefs are more akin to ancestor worship, and they also hold a sacred reverence for the stone that surrounds them throughout their entire life. Dwarves who lead a strong and noble life are said to strengthen the Stone when they die, becoming Ancestors. Those who are ignoble or disgraced would weaken the stone and are therefore rejected by it for all eternity.

The dwarves aren't really very concerned about where the Stone came from or what created it so for all anyone knows the Maker created the Stone and from there came the dwarves and their beliefs don't have to be called into question. If the dwarves had a step in-between their creation it could certainly explain why they don't go to the Fade naturally like all the other races we've seen. I doubt most dwarves would be interested in making that compromise since, again, they don't really care where the Stone came from but a conflicted DN trying to reconcile the beliefs they've held their whole life with this strange new yet oddly persuasive new religion could come to that conclusion and not have to choose.



Anyway, I hope that helps.

Some of us are tragically stuck on the console...

[Costin_Razvan]

Hmm...in such a case I think one could take the save game file, copy it to a PC and use toolset to edit some stuff to unlock stuff.



Aren't there mods for the Xbox though? I only played a small time on my own, until my brother kicked me out...( prefer PC anyway )
