After finishing the choosing of a new king in Ozrammar, you seem to automatically fail this mission.

It comments about not managing to give your son a chance at a better life or somesuch.
But I never saw this as an active quest.

Does anyone know what's going on with this one?
How do you succeed at it?

[AdamTaylor]

Anyone?

[Anderilian]

Before you choose a King, you have to speak with the one you pick, making him agree to adopt your son and his mother into his house, making them noble again. I went with Harrowmont, and before i went into the Deep Roads to find Branka, i talked with him about my son, making him promise to accept him as his own if i made him King

[Dtelm]

You can convince harrowmont to adopt him, or bhelen to recognize him as an aeducan.

[AdamTaylor]

Um... what son?

I'm playing a Human Noble. I don't even have a kid.

And why would they accept him into a Dwarven house?

[Maria Caliban]

It's a bug. Only dwarven male nobles should get this quest.

[Dtelm]

Oh LOL. Your human noble. Haha That never happened with me, we all assumed you were playing a Dwarf Noble.



In the Dwarven Noble origin story you can sleep with what are effectively golddiggers, and if you do, BAM when you come back you have a kid.



Which made no sense to me because Ozammar was the first place I went after Ostagar, and unless Dwarves breed like rabbits, there is no way that kid couldve been born yet.

Yet there she was rattling on about how she had to feed him.

if you notice while playing the game, characters will mention that they havent seen you in  a year or two (idk if travel time varies it, or something but it went back and forth for my char: sometime characters said 1 year, others 2). unless you think it takes dwarves moar than 9 months for gestation, that's more than enough time

[Dtelm]

Years? I Don't think so. That doesnt make sense.

You get exiled into the deep roads, you find the grey wardens in less than a day, and then unless the journey to ostagar takes 7-8 months, it hasnt been that long.



Same with human noble story, its definatly not years between your family being butchered and ostagar.

[Yaafm]

Actually, its supposed to be. They say it multipule times. Like in the mage origin, if you go strait to the mage tower. They say its been almost a year since you left.

Personally I figure you and duncan make a few stops along the way back, then you spend a day or so at Ostagar. Then probably, a week or so healing? Then all your traveling.
Remember, that dwarf girl says something like it takes 2 and a half weeks to get from Orz to the Mage tower. Back and forth you just spent a friggen month!

Personally, I picked up Shale and Wardens keep first, so yeah I was probably gone a year


Edit:  It told me I had failed the quest also and im sure as hell not a Noble or a Dwarf!

Ah.. was wondering about this... I picked human noble too,.. and after picking the king, lo and behold, got a quest name "of noble birth".



Made me wonder... hahha... It seems there's quite a few bugs yet in regards to the Journal updating quest completes.



I picked the 3rd choice in the Redcliffe questline, and it said I sacrificed the mother... Even when the mother is standing right in front me?!

[Blindamour]

at start Duncan is going to ALL origins stories.... PC origin if first he visits and then he moves for the others but only PC is "promising" all other died in the process or fails... but to go to all the places and then to ostagar it takes time.... so it may be 1 year alltogether

[Kyrellic]

You're travelling on foot through quite a distance. Yes, it really does take that long to travel to Ostagar and back.

[dannythefool]

Just ignore the game's idea of how long it takes to get places. There are conflicting statements regarding travel time, for example it takes 2.5 weeks to get from Orzammar to the Circle, but it only takes a day from Redcliffe Castle. On the map these are about the same distance...

[johnbgardner]

I started with a dwarf commoner and my sister Rica ended up as a royal concubine whose had a son by Bhelen which made the baby an Aeducan. When you return to Orzammar you have to choose between Bhelen and Harrowmont. I'm still at the point of deciding with whom to go, but I'm assuming if I go with Bhelen, my nephew will remain heir to the throne, and if I go with Harrowmont I have to make some deal with him to get my nephew adopted.

[GmanFresh]

yeah they arent driving cross country. travel took a long time

That might be because Orzammar is in mountainous territory. It would take a lot longer to climb the Frostbacks than it would for you than walk  on level well-travelled road.

Ha, this was bugging me since I noticed it in the Dwarf Commoner storyline and it was really bugging me because I did not remember having a child at any point!

Oddly enough with this character I also had the sacrifice of Isolde in the Codex even though I didn't.  Whats more humerous though is that in all of my characters storyline profiles on my profile it says that Arl Howe dies REALLY early and that I have rescued the queen, often before I get to Ostagar...

Of course! This makes sense now! I restarted the game from saves a few different times from a few different points to see where I had went wrong! Of course I don't have a child-- I'm a mage! The only way I could forsee having one now is if Leliana gives me one from here!!! HAHAHA! LOL!



On a real side, this is good to know now for when I do start the Dwarf Noble storyline. Thanks to all who posted, and don't sweat the small stuff about travel times-- You have a child to worry about now!
