I didn't like Sten at all on my first playthrough. I'm going to give him a chance this time.

Oghren is awesome though. It's hilarious when he gets so drunk he starts hitting on your character in the camp.

Of course it is one thing to joke about it

I wish you could tell Sten that you agree with him about the ashes. It's a cool quest and all, but at the same time it's the biggest waste of time in the game. Eamon's a douche.

To be fair, it's not Eamon's fault you have to do this since he's in a freaking coma. Teagan and Isolde are the ones who insist on it.

See, a very valid reason to dislike Teagan on top of my nonsensical ones.

Bah! Too many evil characters on this thread! Everyone head for the hills!



I wonder what happens if you leave Eamon to die. Do the Disciples of Andraste join you instead?

You can't leave him to die. You automatically take a pinch of the ashes (otherwise what's the point of going) and the Disciples welcome the Blight because they want Dragon Andraste to remake the world in her image.

Just a quick question but why is Sten in love with the Warden, in the Warden and the Sten?

I may give it a read, unless it is really OOC, because just how, when, and why do they make love if Sten tells Morrigan it is deadly. I may read but it sounds like a bad read to me.

Their lovemaking often ends in her being injured but the Warden is a masochist who feels that this is a good thing. Sten killed the only qunari woman he was ever assigned to mate with during the act even though she was the same species but the human commoner Warden is fine enough.

I agree, there would be no real point in going, other than to get drops, xp, and soverigns. Forgot that part ;)

I completed an evil warrior who turned out to be a Reaver, and did not know that you HAD to rescue Arl Eamon, but not that it made a difference anyway; even after helping the cultists desecrate the ashes, I backstabbed them to have at it against the High Dragon.

Anyway sorry back on main topic: I am sorry, I appreciate Sten backing me up against the darkspawn, but I still hold true to my word. If there is ever a time where Qunari from Seheron intend to take over Ferelden, I will not shed a tear for any of them, not even Sten, should he be foolish enough Image IPB

That makes no real sense but I think I will skip this fic and just go back to playing DAO.

Yeah, I didn't get it either. While it has some definite downsides I've heard it has some interesting contributions to qunari lore since it starts with the Warden actually travelling to Sten's home with him.

I think this is a much more realistic portrayal of Qunari romance

Ask the Sten excerpt...

“The Tamassran are right in one sense: women mostly want to be taken and enraptured. Lucky are Qunari women who can withstand the voracious craving of their partners,” the Warden happily declared. “Human women are mostly delicate creatures, I grant you, but women need enthusiasm from their men. After a while, the pleasure is gone from the sensual nature of the relationship and it then becomes mere duty, but not in the Qun sense of the word. After women bare children, their men become indolent and their appetites diminish,” the Warden sighed. “Nobles, however, are more pleasurably fortunate. It’s considered acceptable for them to retain a mistress once they become bored of pleasing their wives.”

The Qunari’s jutting brow bent in confusion. “That makes little sense. Your nobles have women to pair with yet they seek the company of another. There is no purpose-“

“Accept for pleasure,” the Warden interrupted with a crooked grin. “Humans will readily do anything to please themselves. I know that you will say it is because they have no ambition but you, Iimon Ghaala, do it as well.”

The Sten was made silent, enjoying the manner in which the Warden employed the Qunari phrase.

“I do wonder what Alistair will do, though. Many nobles ‘pair’ for an advantageous marriage. Little thought is usually given to the woman’s appeal or attractiveness. She hopes to please her husband, as all women want to be esteemed in a man’s eyes. However, once they have an heir to maintain their titles, the noble’s attention is laid elsewhere.”

“Your women seek pleasure elsewhere as well?” Sten asked, gradually becoming more intrigued with the idea of pleasure for pleasure itself.

“Some do and do not discuss it with their husbands, as it’s generally understood, but many don’t. They wish for the attention of their husband, hoping that he will one day take notice, however futile their attempts. Now you can understand the hair arrangements and perfumes you so quickly ridiculed. I am fortunate to have a brutal Qunari wandering my quarters every night,” the Warden mused, rolling her eyes teasingly.

I didn't do much with Sten on my CE run... but went through a second time and really liked him....was profoundly thankful that getting his sword back requires talking and buying it back and not a long drawn out quest



Currently will find interaction with Sten and my DCF to be very interesting...she barely met any humans, much less someone like him



my mage will stick to Sten and Morrigan...corrupting her innocent fragile mind.. o.o

Getting Sten's sword back in a fanfic does take some planning, though, because they can't just go straight from Lake Calenhad to the Frostback Mountains to Redcliffe on a mad quest to find a sword due to time constraints.

Well, i wasn't much of a Sten-friendly player (even forgot to take him on my 1st playthrough) but i gotta say that he grew in my heart, specially after hearing his banters with Leliana.



(softiiie) :D
