For some reason, I never liked the WC armor on my dwarf; it made him look fat and out of shape. A minor downside for being a dwarf is human armor looks awkward on you.

The CGM is not that expensive, you easily make over 1K gold in the game. What are spending your gold on? Gifts for a certain bard perhaps? I would suggest getting it at least once, especially since I think it look more epic that a dwarf would use it instead of an elf or human. Plus the extra stamina helps spam more specials.

I dont spam specials that much.

Mainly I use them in situations that need them (ie PS for knockdown, Sweep for CC).

I mainly leave him to do lots a damage on one person and then go back to auto attacks.



Besides I play on normal or casual since I like the story more, so I dont need huge stamina reserves. Also while Berserker costs a good bit to use its really powerful.

Checking in for the first time in a couple days after being all over the threads related to Morrigan and Witch Hunt. I loved it, with exception to the infamous DR glitch. That was probably the only thing that caused me stress, and before I found out about a fix, I deleted my main morrigan-romance warden's playthrough in awakening and I'm redoing it now.



Ok so those pics above... THAT'S the shadow broker, eh? I wasn't expecting an alien so... brutish. I was expecting something with more elegance given that he is an information broker... but ehh, w/e. I'll eventually download and play LotSB, though it'll take time.



And since a conversation about armor was started, I just want to say that my absolute favorite armor-type, both in looks and functionality, is Dwarven Heavy Armor. I use it a lot on all my playthroughs, and my male city elf looks awesome with it (especially in Silverite or Volcanic Aurum) as well (though it sucks that I haven't been able to get a complete set again in Awakening). I like the massive armor styles generally, but probably my top favorite is Legion of the Dead armor. Lately, to save time and stress, for all new playthroughs I've been giving that set to Oghren and keeping it on him throughout Origins so that I don't have to worry about remembering to strip him down later.

So, random question: after King Endrin dies and before a successor is chosen, Bhelen is still called a prince and the DN is still referred to, at times, as either a prince or princess. If you choose Harrowmont, are you thus going to officially be a former prince/princess and just get referred to as Lord/Lady Aeducan? I guess it's kind of the same for Anora if Alistair is made King and she doesn't get herself executed. Is she referred to as a former Queen?

Once a castellar, always a castellar. You never let them take the title away. To quote Lois McMaster Bujold.

Also as a note, Starfang with 2H sweep is just like a nuke going off for most mobs right now.

I think it was clear from pro-Harrowmont Orzammar epilogues that DN Wardens are named the next heir to the throne by Harrowmont, so Dwarf Nobles would probably maintain just the Lord/Lady title until Harrowmont died.

Bhelen, as awesome as he is, made it clear that he is not giving his brother/sister inheritance to the crown. He has a concubine, Rica, and a child from her that is the heir to the throne. So in that case, it would just be Lord/Lady (as Bhelen says he will exonerate you and reinstate your status as a noble, and I take his word at face value here)

I was more wondering about titles than chance of inheritance. I KNOW that you are a prince/princess still if Bhelen takes the throne as Vartag tells you you've regained your status as an Aeducan prince/princess. All I was really wondering is if you were born a prince/princess because your father was King and another family takes power, are you still considered a prince/princess or do you lose the title?

It looks like he is regretting what happened earlier. Did he decide that Trian had to be removed or was he played by the cunning Bhelen and the two worms in your party?

That moment he realized what an idiot he had been.
He thought he knew the score but ended up killing his brother, and quite a few other dwarves as well.
He also got Gorim exiled too, for his ego.

I think at that point he is at his lowest point, like Alistair is after Ostagar.

Ahh ic what you mean now. Well, I personally think the prince/princess title is removed in both cases and you're just a Lord/Lady. I mean, Harrowmont only names a DN Warden an heir out of emergency when the Assembly is crumbling, right? So yeah... thinking about it now, it would probably just be Lord/Lady, definitely that if Bhelen is king.

Then again, I don't know. Sources in-game say two different things for me.

I wonder if Duncan ever tries to talk to you about what happened during any Warden's Origin? Especially in certain origins like the HN when nearly your entire family is destroyed with the home and lifestyle you ever knew destroyed in one night, I would think he would try to help the Warden get through the tough time.



On the bright side, at least your DN gutted that traitorous scout with the nosey attitude.

Um no he didnt.
Dain just sat there in shock as his world crumbled.

If Duncan did try to talk to him about I imagine that Dain would not want to.
So far he tells people he is an criminal (he thinks he is for killing his brother) and was exiled.

"Politics" as he calls it. If he wants even Sten cant keep as quiet as him.

I am tempted to write about Dain since he is really a deep PC right now.

I just assumed that the scout would have died by the murder-knife since it seems to be the norm for the noble. My bad.



Sounds like you got a good background for that Warden. Any ideas how he will react when he meets with "Trian's spirit" during the Urn Quest? Will he believe it is actually him or will he be like Oghren and Morrigan and think it is all a lie?



I have been bad so far at making a deep PC but I am going to give it a shot on my next playthrough.

The epilogue doesn't actually mention anything about who succeeds Harrowmont - just that the Assembly is left scrambling again - so while you could RP that Harrowmont does that out of desperation, it's not canon.

Edit: I'm hardly an expert on royalty and my country doesn't really do titles but I'm inclined to think that, as the sibling of the King, you keep the prince/princess title since your family is still in power in Bhelen is ruling. I mean, say the DN origin didn't happen and Trian became King somehow (ignoring the obvious difficulties here). Would Bhelen and the DN cease being referred to as royalty or would they continue to be Prince Bhelen and Prince/Princess DN? If that's the case then you being put back in the family should mean your title is restored as well.

I think when Dain meets up with Trian's ghost somethings will change for him.
He is finding it wierd though being a warden:
Meeting a Qunari and a free range Golem.
Fighting Demons.
Learning that not everyone is out to get you
Also finding that a certain bard like likes him.

Overall Dain is changing alot and very rapidly. I like just saying this is my warden, and here it goes.
I let who they are choose the dialouge.

I read on the Dragon Age Wiki (since I didn't play DN Harrowmont supporting) that Harrowmont specifically names the DN his successor to the throne. If that is falsified information then I can accept that given its a wiki, but I just wanted to be clear that what I said wasn't based on mere speculation.



also, your edit point makes sense, Sarah. I just get confused by what I've played in the game itself and what I've read on the Dragon Age Wiki

I've beaten the game with a DN after having crowned both Bhelen and Harrowmont. The epilogue never actually says anything about how replaces either of them but it really seems that, plot items beyond your control notwithstanding, the DN has a good chance of succeeding Harrowmont. I know that that's confused and annoyed several people who couldn't get the epilogue saying that and wondered what they did wrong so hopefully it either has or will be removed from the wiki.

So in some ways you are the audience when watching a movie rather than being the director of the movie? Makes sense when it has many elements of a movie.



I think I need to learn how to do that instead of being a brutal dictator for my characters.

The wiki also used to claim that if you preserved the Anvil and crowned Harrowmont then he had Bhelen dragged away screaming to become a golem. That seemed unlike him (and not even Bhelen does it) so I tried it and, lo and behond, Bhelen still committed suicide instead (well, technically it's more assisted suicide than anything). Fortunately, that's been taken down.
