My recent mage was interesting, he only joined the wardens to escape punishment and could care less about the blight.  if everyone didnt depend on him, he would of took isabela up on her offer to join her crew.

so i really cant see him becoming warden commander, anyone ever feel like this with their character?

It's a plot element you HAVE to do it, just like you MUST become a Grey Warden in DAO, just like you MUST become a Spectre in ME1, just like you MUST become a Jedi in KOTOR, just like you MUST work with Cerberus in ME2 etc

It certainly is! for all my wardens (this is probably because I always play elfs). The one that resents it the least is an Elf mage though as she's not encountered as much Elf hate from humans in the circle. CE resents it the most - it's quite a punishment for defending oneself agains rapists and murderers, although she does recognise that the GWs saved her life.

My Dalish was conscripted, she'd rather have died and can't wait to leave the Wardens and live her life out with Zevran.

but you dont have to become warden commander, you can always take the orlesian commander route.

The only one whose personality suited it was my DC. She didn't mind taking the job on - bossing humans about, killing darkspawn. Life was good there for Buntie ;-)

As a temporary appointment, most of my wardens would probably take it. As long as they can take off after they've dealt with the darkspawn



My mage might not. She's very religious, and the whole "magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him" thing would be a problem

[CalJones]

My male Cousland (who married Anora and gets on well with Loghain) thought his father in law should have got the job, seeing as he himself is busy with court and the like. I imagine he had quite a long argument with the wardens to that effect and only took the job grudgingly to prevent an Orlesian from becoming de facto Arl of Amaranthine.

My female Cousland (remained single, and is chancellor to Anora) took the job as Amaranthine was a vassal to Highever and it was a way to keep it in the family, so to speak.

My city elf went off with her lover, Leliana, so I did not import her into Awakening.

My dwarf noble returned to Orzammar to enjoy paragon status and help raise his son.

My dwarf commoner also returned to Orzammar as she wanted to lord it over the nobles who had looked down on her before.

My dalish went back to her clan - urban life wasn't for her.

My (male) mages generally take the job because they don't want to go back to the Circle, although one ultimately ran off with Zevran to Antiva, one returned to Denerim with Leliana and one followed Morrigan through the mirror.

[Reika]

Well, the only character I've had that I ported to Awakening was my HNF. She went out there as a temporary thing to get everyone used to each other. It just took a bit longer than she'd anticipated.

[bleetman]

My city elf wasn't crazy about the idea, but a good old fashioned darkspawn bloodbath almost seemed like a vacation after months of dealing with bickering nobles as the bann of the alienage.



My other characters tend to travel with Leliana and/or Zevran, so I like to envision the few of those I imported as being tracked down by the wardens eventually. Beaucracy, y'know.



"You're a hard woman to find, Miss Brosca"

"Not hard enough, it seems"

[maxernst]

For my canon PC, it was never something he would have chosen for himself. However, he feels Alistair wants him to be Warden Commander, so he does it.



For my elf mage, well--she felt it beat being stuck in that damned tower.

[Corker]

My grieving Cousland was more than happy to have some duty to cling to.

I think my Dalish didn't move fast enough and wasn't sure where else to go, anyway.

I didn't import my US Brosca for kind of obvious reasons. Tabris and Surana likewise had other plans, so I just didn't play them in Awakening.

[soignee]

--My Mahariel followed Morrigan as he felt he didn't fit in anywhere else.

--My Brosca stayed until the the end of Awakenings plot, then went off to Antiva.

--My Aeducan stayed as She Was Duty. I like to think she put her time in and retired early though.,

--My Surana helped deal with mage, chantry and Ferelden politics, but only when prompted. Researching in his laboratory the findings of the Architect especially was of more interest to him. Warden's Keep became him home, and Avernus's notes helped his work immensely. (He's no blood mage, though, and has moral issues concerning it.)

--My Kader (Orlesian warden) helped the Ferelden Grey contingency to its feet then buggered off back home where the food was better.

Not at all for my Roxanne Amell. It let her get away from Denerim's politics while still being close enough to visit and help if need be. She considers it an honor, and the best way she can help preserve the memory of Duncan, by carrying on his work. It also lets her grow as a person, while providing a home for herself, Leliana and Bob, her Mabari.



She still thinks of herself as a bit of an unlikely hero, but she is near worshipped wherever she goes, which still makes her blush and feel a bit awkward.

[sylvanaerie]

It depends on my PC. I've only played Awakenings twice, once with a Cousland and once with an Orlesian. For me it fit both roles. I can also see a Dwarf Noble in the role as well but not so much my other PCs. It's not a matter of what they felt about the blight or the Grey Wardens, it's more about how I viewed their ability to command and take charge of Vigil's keep.

From birth a Cousland or an Aeducan are trained to do just this. (The DN is even a commander of his/her own squad in the origin, in charge of fighting darkspawn). They not only are good leaders (hopefully) but have been trained in the proper maintanence of a keep, in training and recruiting men, distributing soldiers/goods in the area they should be, administering justice as needed, stockpiling supplies for lean times, setting, collection and use of taxes. All necessary duties for any good Arl/Arlessa in addition to their role as WC.

I really can't see other origins doing this half so well but it can certainly be roleplayed by anyone willing to wrap their heads around it.

[Tellervo]

My primary Warden is the sort to take what fate hands him and make it his own, so becoming Warden Commander is appropriate, with sort of a "nobody else will, so I must" and "not like I know what else to do with myself" attitude. Now, that said, Awakening mucks up romances, so he does screw off to Antiva after an unreasonable amount of time has passed--but returns to the post of Warden Commander afterward for a while.

[Liliandra Nadiar]

Depends, most of my surviving Wardens have enough of a sense of duty to the order to not argue (much) over the placement. My HNF princess-consort wouldn't want to be Commander, but wouldn't have minded going for a bit to help out another one, court life is all well and good but sometimes she just feels the need to cleave a genlock in twain with her big axe.

My current 'Dalish' mage and my City Elf (thanks to a mod) would not even remotely consider it. The mage barely gets along with other Dalish, working with resentful shems? Ch'ya right. City Elf... yeah, she has a very poor opinions of nobility (only game I turned Isolde into a battery, though I want to in all of them) bossing them around sounded fun, but she realized she would be far more likely to slit all of their throats then accept a tithe.

[Sarah1281]

It is so OOC for my Aeducan that she just heads back to Orzammar and leaves the job to someone else. It's not like she doesn't think that she COULD do it, she just doesn't want to and feels her GW duty ended when the Blight did while she has all sorts of obligations back home. Fortunately, Loghain needed a job and the First Warden wanted an Arling far more than Anora wanted to give the GWs an Arling so it all worked out.

[Giggles_Manically]

My Aeducan's both decided to ignore Awakening.

Thorin is in Orzamar trying to kill off Harrowmont.



Dain is somewhere in Orlais with Leliana, Zevran, and Dog.



Dosent stop Bob from showing up and giving it the old college of Orzamar try.

[Blastback]

My main Warden, Matthias, who you can see next to this post, is probably perfectly suited for the role. There is relativly so little left of his old life, that I think he embraced being a Warden. And he was trained to be a leader.



Matthias was deeply hurt by the slaughter of his family. He's dedicated himself to preventing others from experianceing the same kind of pain. Having seen the horrors the Darkspawn are capable of, he throughs himself into the role of Warden Commander. For every bit of pain he feels, someone else out in the world gets to have a happy life.

[M-Taylor]

Second attempt at posting correctly :c.

For my female Cousland, slightly out of character. I conveyed her as very power hungry, hating the Grey Wardens for restricting her birth right/noblility and finding the jack pot in Alistair (unhardened). A way to become Queen, and Teryn of whereever Loghain was Teryn of. She wanted the Arling under the Cousland belt (which would take the count up to Highever (her brother), Ferelden in general (a weak Alistair is easily bossed around) and that place where Loghain ruled (I wanna say Gweyne or something? >_>). She didn't care for the role, but wanted the land.

Male Cousland is dead.

Female Dwarf Commoner, again slightly was. She cared for slaughtering Darkspawn, but not overly for the Grey Wardens. I imagine, the position was a sort of test run for her. Should she continue surface life, obviously in high esteem, or return to dwarven life as nobility? She picked Dwarven life in the end :x.

Female Dalish did. She knew she could never return to her clan, however much she wanted too, and fully embraced her duty.

Male Mage didn't, so never imported him.

Female City Elf died.

Female Dwarven Noble did, again largely for the same reasons as the Dalish. She knew her Orzammar life was over, and decided to fully accept and embrace her future role, however painful it was to do so. I also roleplayed her as becoming slightly obsessed with the Darkspawn, and eventually joining the Legion of the Dead. Her story is over now, and she mercilessly hunts the Darkspawn with the Legion of the Dead in the Deep Roads, hoping to cleanse the vermin out of her home.

I feel like I'm missing one character.. :l, kinda bad that I can't remember >_>

[andysdead]

lol one play through i tried to not become a grey warden... it didn't really work out so well.

[leggywillow]

For some of them.

While it wasn't OOC for my female Cousland, it did seem to screw with the story a little bit since she was also Queen-Consort and no one seemed to notice.  Still, Couslands are all about duty and I imagined her shrugging and taking on the job without a second thought.  Her plan was always to give the Wardens a jumpstart, find a replacement, and head on back to Alistair.

My female Amell was Alistair's mistress and Chancellor and just saw it as another part of her duty to the Crown, since the Wardens are now heavily interwoven with Ferelden politics (since the Warden Commander is also the Arl of Amaranthine).

My female Tabris never stuck around long enough to hear the offer.  She and Alistair disappeared to keep adventuring within a few months after Anora's coronation.

My female Mahariel also never got the offer... due to a case of death, unfortunately.

I'm not sure what my female Brosca will do yet.  She'd probably take the job, since it involves 2 of her favorite things: killing things and getting to boss people around.  However, I don't think I have enough save files left on my 360 to import her to Awakenings, so I guess her canon will be that she runs off with Zevran instead.

[Addai]

I had no problem in that regard with Awakening, except for one character who didn't stay in Ferelden. Whatever reason they had to fight against the Blight basically extends to finishing the job in Amaranthine. The rigamarole of being commander, that was just part of what they had to do to see the job done.



I had a harder time imagining why they would be running off to rescue a dwarf from the Deep Roads, in the golem DLC.

[stormrain]

Just a little. Thinking of RP reasons for why they did it was irritating.

Male Cousland needed to cling to his duties to distract himself from the Morrigan shaped hole in his heart. Did GoA for the same reason, though he's pretty cynical and jaded by then. He's also the brother of the teyrn, so becoming the Commander was appropriate for keeping Amaranthine in Cousland control and the best way to ****** on Howe's grave. Though once he went off into Mirror Land with Morrigan, I RP Nathaniel taking over his command.

Female Tabris very much had no interest in being some Arl and would have rather stayed in Denerim with her family and support the new Bann Shianni. She was tired of killing beasties, but knew they had to be dealt with. So she made sure to rebuild the order so they could deal with any future problems that popped up. She's now enjoying her life, traveling with Zevran and Leliana.
