Law's are tricky. The argument that you sneaked into Howe's estate in order to save Queen Anora from bodily harm and/or death could drop the "murder" to defense of others. Anora doesn't back you up so that's not Cauthrien's fault. That being said, my issue with her is that she saw what happened at Ostagar and still stands by Loghain while he commits more atrocities. It's open to player interpretation just how much she knew about what Loghain and Howe were doing, but I was always under the impression that Cauthrien dumps you into a likely illegal torture chamber.



On topic!

I wanted to recruit Cullen as a female mage just because that would be gloooorious.

Lanaya or Zathrian and Jowan would be nice too.

Not that I'd want to replace anybody, but the NPCs I would've liked to have in a party are:

Jowan
Ser Perth
Sergeant Kylon
A non-dead Daveth

Those, at least, were the NPCs that struck me as being useful and who I'd probably get along with smashingly well.

Quick question re the discussion. Does Cauthrien say she's there to arrest you for Howe's murder? It never struck me before - how the dickens does she even know he's dead? His blood is still clotting.... I shall interrogate the toolset for answers.

That's an argument a lof of anti-Anora people use as the only way the timing makes sense is if Erlina went out and told Cauthrien after you left to go find Howe.

The Ash Warriors as a whole are really under utilised, particularly after the lengthy intro they get in Ostagar. It's like the game decided halfway to start calling them 'beserkers' and forgot it had Ash Warrior lore already written.

Well, since their lore is essentially 'a human guy learned how to fight like berserkers and taught us' is that really surprising?

Also Sarah Medieval law, is completly on the whim of lords, and a joke. There is no right or wrong in this case, only who can kill the other.

And just to reiterate - "medieval" covers a rather large period of time and quite a few countries.  And English law was the least arbitrary and most consistent of the bunch, at least after the reforms of Henry II in the 12th century.  Precedents were kept on "pipe rolls," huge records of the cases to come before the royal courts (which traveled the countryside to hear cases from all over) and were consulted to ensure (or at least attempt) consistency between cases.

Sure, it didn't always work and people in power abused that power when they could.  But there actually was (at least in England) a system that was *supposed* to curtail the worst of the abuses and ensure a modicum of fairness.

And while Henry II was alive, it worked pretty well.  It was only after his sons (Richard and John) took the throne that things deteriorated to the point that the nobles "insisted" on the meeting out of which Magna Carta was born. [Edited for Spelling]

Which proves that even a bad king can be the beginning of something good.
