I learned a lot from Mass Effect 2, but the learning didn't stop there. There are many lessons that Dragon Age has to give as well.

Perhaps the greatest gift bestowed upon Grey Wardens is the ability to find an amazingly similar patch of land to set up camp outside of every town in Ferelden.

No matter how cold it looks, it's not that cold. Don't be such a wimp. You don't see Morrigan asking for a coat, do you?

Naked giant in a cage? I want him for my team! Because he's big or something!

That assassin who tried to murder me? Yes, I want him on my team too! There's no chance he'll try to kill me in my sleep, because if you can't trust an assassin, who can you trust?

Ms. Warden: I really like you, and think you're cute. ^_^
Leliana: I like you too, sexy Warden. ;)
They kiss. Fade to black. :kissing::kissing:
Two hours later...
Leliana: That was fantastic! :o
Ms. Warden: Yeah! I love you, Leliana. :wub:
Leliana: I love you too. Now I'd like to talk to you about the Maker... :innocent:
Ms. Warden: :?


Who needs vets when you have dog biscuits?

Magic is dangerous, but the Chantry doesn't have to be such a jerk about it.

Speaking of jerks, Alistair doesn't want to be king! Stop insisting on it just because you think he'd be less likely to become a murderous tyrant than any of the other choices!

I'm thankful he doesn't want it, because that will make him a better ruler;

someone who isn't obsessed with retaining power, but doing the right thing for his kingdom.



Kings and grey wardens are there to serve, not be served.



At least, that's my romantic notion.



With great power comes great responsibility.



The camp ground is portable, thanks to Sandal. "Enchantment!"



My Warden is so loved by the Maker, it's always Spring, wherever he/she goes.

Zev takes one look at my Warden and instantly wants to fail, just so he has a chance to get in his/her pants, not matter the risk. Isn't it obvious?

Guilt ridden giant as a companion? How can you 'not' recruit him?

That wardens are worse then the us army! when it comes to recruiting.



Mages will never have true freedom.



That my warden has no problem sleeping with murders bards and assasians at camp.



when my charater trys to move a maul and realizes maker this thing is heavy.



Alistar reminds me of my little brother.



Other elves have bigger ears then me. I want big elf ears :o



Tattoos on women are very attractive



I Learned i like riding on dragon necks like wild bulls.

Uh, Sten's naked in your game? That must have taken some serious modding. ;) Of course, Alistair wants to be king in mine, so maybe we just have different releaases. ;)

I learned that bashing people upside the head with a shield is seriously good fun....

On a related note, I found that I really love exploding and decapitating pixels. If I could give my DW warriors the Walking Bomb spell, I would be the happiest gamer in the world. Explosive decapitations for everyone!

Exaggeration for effect. :)

Really? I've only done one complete play through so far, but as far as I remember, he kept not wanting the job and I felt guilty trying to force it on him.

Speaking of forcing jobs on people...

Recruit changes his mind about joining your order? Kill him. It's the only rational thing to do.

If your character isn't a rogue, there are going to be a lot of frustratingly locked chests in your origin story.

You must not have hardened him (total misnomer-all it does is make him believe in himself and stand up for what he wants), then he insists that Anora isn't an option, and that while it was never what he wanted, he's gotten used to the idea and realizes that he's going to be able to do some good. In some dialogues, he even says he's looking forward to it. But that's the subject of another thread--I won't derail yours with more on that. ;)

Something else that can be learned: you can do a surprising amount with a torn jugular vein....

One of my friends tried to convince me that my love of decapitations was wrong but, baby, if it's wrong, I don't wanna be right!

  • Killing just one rat with a melee attack will shower you in gore.
  • When people say "ride into battle," they're being sarcastic.
  • When you just want the conversation over, choose the (Kill) option and let your dagger do the talking!
That's enough for now.

I love you both. And the person who rides dragons like broncos. I started taking screen shots of all my PCs doing the dragon slow-mo kill scene a couple characters ago, amassed quite a collection now.

I always harden Alistair so that he WANTS to be King. Even though he wants to become King, that doesnt mean he would reign as a tyrant. It just makes him a more effective King.

All though he proves to be very popular with the common people, he also has to be firm with the nobility to keep them in check.

Bwaha! Too true! I ended up turning off the gore because I couldn't accept that one creature had that much blood in it. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief that far. Demon posessed dragons, abominations? Sure. But not that a rat contains that much blood. Or that it always splatters in exactly the same pattern. ;)

Nothing possibly bad could come from having a giant killer dog lick fresh gore from your wounded body.

No one seems to mind if the PC is schizophrenic.

The best and most appropriate time to flirt with a guy is when he is in a chantry, trying to survive an incoming massacre, then abandonning him anyways.

Killing an intelligent dragon after killing her babies is not so bad a thing.

The necessary pre-requisite for being recruited for prison guard duty is to be an idiot.

The Arl of denerim's room is right next to his dungeon....wtf?

It's even better if you're wearing her babies.

That might be the creepiest sentence I've ever typed.

What I learned from Dragon Age is that all hot women are really nice about it if you dump them and will gladly be your best friend if you give them a little gift even if they catch you making out with another woman. And here I thought life was a lot more difficult than that...

You can make anyone adore you if you give them 100 bones.

No, you'd need 200 bones.

Edit: or do bones give +2?

 I have a console version, so I don't get the courtesy of numbers. But isn't it 100 points from neutral to maximum approval?
