I love these two lines to Wynne

* Sten: Why do you keep looking at me like that, mage?
* Wynne: I beg your pardon. I didn't mean to stare. I've never seen a qunari before.
* Sten: You can blink once in a while. I'll still be here.


:lol: That's one of my favs!!!



Some Sten and Oghren humor for the funnies.

I hope that one day in the future, I will be able to find this quote of unsurpassed genius listed among those of other great intellectuals, such as Eliot, Descartes and Wittgenstein:

"No."
   - Sten

I just posted this in the Top 10 thread as one of my favorite moments in the game, so I'll repost it here, the conversation you have with Sten when you give him his sword back.

Sten: "Are you sure you're a grey warden? I think you must be an ashkari to find a single lost blade in a country at war."

Warden: You're welcome Sten

Sten: I would thank you for this, if I knew how. And I could deliver a much more satisfying answer to the arishok's question if the blight were ended, don't you agree?

Warden: So you're staying then?

Sten: I am one of the Bersaad. I have never abandoned the field with the battle unmet.

Warden: I'm glad to have you Sten

Sten: Yes, it isn't every Grey Waden who has her own Bersaad. I will see you reach the Archdemon. Lead the way.

YES! Such a short quote, yet, so epic.:lol:

@Zjarcal: I like replaying that scene over and over just because! I've never done it that way though, I've got to try it.

@ Asepsis - Oh man, that video is GOLD! How do you get it, though? Is it when you're arrested? I always got arrested with Alistair and tried to escape...

@Amedyr, that video is indeed from when you get arrested. You need to not try to get out yourself, though. And chose Sten and Oghren to come to your rescue. I usually get arrested just so I can have team members come break me out. 'tis hilarious.

Sten, hacking his way through darkspawn and by the looks of it, my Warden. I'm going to guess there are cookies nearby.

@Neveri: :wub:

@Amedyr: Yeah I've never tried the Sten Oghren rescue myself so this is tempting me to do it, I was laughing so hard when I saw this. The "On Fire" part killed me! Hahaha!

Sten's hilarious during the rescue no matter who he's paired with.

One of the best is when he's with Dog and claims to be taking him to the kennels:

"I am a giant with a war dog. Either I am making a delivery or I am besieging your fort. Hope for the former."

Lots of great Sten moments in here during the rescue. He's almost ever present from 3:17 onwards but he has some scathing comments to make at the start as well :P

Off-topic: How can I make the embedded video smaller, more like the one higher up on the page? I just copied the embed code on the video's page, but it seems larger than it ought to be.

@philiposophy: Lol the Wynne part with Sten was too funny! Hahahaha!

Also I'm not sure how to shrink the video, usually it does it automatically. Maybe the code in that video was messed up or something? I just tried to add it to my post and it's too big I think it's the video or the site is glitching up today, lol!

@Neveri: *drools* Oh God...I want! :o

I was thinking about Sten banners when I thought of combining a great line of his with all those "I used to be part of the..." which were doing the rounds after the bizarre bazaar fiasco:

"I used to be part of the Grey Wardens. Now I'm just an ashkari."

Anyway, let's talk about Sten's name. When did you first find out that Sten was just his rank? It took me a while first time round to realize. I think it was only in the Fade dream that I obviously picked up on it (mainly because the Warden can actually ask why his comrades call him "the Sten").

It was only on a recent playthrough that I discovered that by choosing the right options, you can find out it's just a title really early on, because he'll refer to his lot in life as "a Sten of the Beresaad", though the Warden can't comment on this as s/he can in the Fade.

"Age by age have men stood up and said to the world, 'From what has come before me, I was forged, but I am new and greater than my forebears.' And so each man walks the world in ruin, abandoned and untried. Less than the whole of his being." - Sten

@Asepsis, port to Norway and you can have some cake, I assure you, it is delicious. :P

It actually took me some time to realise Sten isn't his name, just his rank. Mostly due to the fact that on my first couple of playthroughs I kinda just, left him in camp most of the time. I'm ashamed of myself, really. It took me some time to appreciate the awesome that is Sten. :<

''I used to be part of the community,now I just want to open a bakery with Sten.'' :P

@philiposophy: Lol! I like that! I might steal it later on tonight. I had some banner backgrounds, they kinda suck but you're free to use them, I think they're on this page (http://social.biowar...index/5138518/2). I've been trying to think of ways to make decent looking banners but a year of no photoshop has really rusted my skills.



I don't remember when I found out, I think I got the conversation when Zev asked Sten about his title, or it was the fade dream. The first time I played dragon age was almost a year ago and I have one of the worst memories ever, lol! XD



Also, I might have accidentally found out when I was looking up stuff about his character. I heard his comment about being a Sten of the Beresaad, but I think I was too dopey to catch it. Lol! All I remember is that it took me a while, haha.



@Naledgeborn: I really loved that, I wonder if that's a translation of part of the Qun.



@Neveri: I wish! Lol, I might end up stealing your quote too, haha. :D

Officer Sten informs you that your husband is dead. *cough*

''The man you love has died. It seems you could have chosen better.''

Lol, Neveri, I love that bit. Whenever I do the condolence letters quest, I always pick the option for your companions to deliver the news since I discovered it. When I heard Sten's line, I just cracked up.

Here's another great piece of dialogue:-

Warden: What were you doing in that cage?

Sten: Sitting, as you observed.

Warden: That's not what I meant.

Sten: It's what you asked.

Lol Neveri! And philiposophy when he said that I felt so dumb for asking, ahahahaha! Lol!

I went to Haven last night before I went to bed and got this:

:wub: I almost felt bad for dragging him with me, hahaha!

I like how he adds "this is not my life at risk, it is our goal."

Isolde should have at least bought Sten a cake or something for that. Sheesh.

I have a policy of my own regarding Haven and Sten. Sometimes I go there before Asala is dealt with, and he's thus still unsure of me, and fight him until he falls in line, which by that point should trigger the "You are not as callow as I thought" line at the required approval. I see that as a good start of Sten and the Warden's camaraderie and mutual respect.

If Sten is already with high approval, Asala and all, I just use the persuade option and he says something (can't remember exactly what) which is like "I'll follow your lead, but be careful, kadan."

I usually complete the quest for the Ashes last, but on my latest playthrough I decided to flip things around a bit so that I could see how things would play out differently at Haven. Poor Sten...I had to laugh at taking him down a few notches with my tiny female Dalish archer. They were inseparable after that though, quite the odd couple.

StenPosted Image  I was happy to see this thread. This is one of my favorite lines from him that I rarely get but was very fortunate last night as I entered redcliffe castle!
