Hmm I don't like the sound of "cool" music that breaks the setting :-/ I thought Origins did a very good job of being consistent but dramatic and grand when the situation called for it.

No Awakenings choices mentioned

I don't expect them to reveal every consequence.

Is "exalted Alistair" supposed to be "exiled Alistair" in the Dwarf Noble choice?

I prefer exalted.

I was thinking "executed."

Interesting that two of the three "standard' choices involve no dark ritual.

Well, at least they give you a couple of choices to choose from if you don't have an Origins save to import. If they gave you every combination of every choice, why even bother having a custom import option?

It's better than what ME 2 gave you.

I had better check to make sure I *have* a DA save to import then.

[Apollo Starflare]

I'm not sure what they mean about the linearity, Origins is pretty linear at first too. Obviously excluding the fact you can pick an Origin.

Love how the Dwarf Warden gets the most morally dubious import. That Dwarf Noble learnt how to play 'the game' well it seems. :happy:

Bit hard to get the 'hero of Ferelden' build without doing the dark ritual, I'm guessing they just don't mention it in the little write up, same with why they don't mention Awakening and Witch Hunt choices. It's just the basics for a new player probably.

[TrooperTethras]

Ha! I was sure that either the Dwarf Noble or Dalish Elf would be the default choice, I just wasn't expecting both. By the way, has there actually been a dev properly confirm this and go into further detail about it?

[Dave of Canada]

I'm pleased my Amell and Cousland "imports" are vastly different than the defaults.

[Leonia]

Huh, how about that"No Compromise" sounds exactly like my Aeducan's choices.

[Maria13]

What I would like to know is which of these defaults, if any, would lead to Alistair appearing in DA2...

[Sable Rhapsody]

Huh. I like it. If only for the fact that I won't have to replay DA:O to see what would've happened in DA2 if I did things differently. (Sorry, DA:O, but I have adorable yarn platforming to do!)



The line about the music worries me more. I can be picky about music and sound. But there's no point in fretting before the game's release--if it bothers me that much, I'll just turn it down in the options.

Heavily suggested that Drunk Alistair shows up, so I suspect No Compromise.

[upsettingshorts]

I think Alistair always shows up unless he is dead. And the form he takes depends on his fate in DA:O. That's the impression I've gotten.

[GodWood]

I like that there's 3 defaults.

It prevents people from confusing it as 'canon'.

Dead Alistair shows up as a dead corpse in the middle of a street in Kirkwall.

It's so well hidden, you don't even realise it's Alistair because his head is missing.

[upsettingshorts]

I wouldn't be shocked if there's a standin for dead Alistair. No idea who it would be though, it would depend on the scene. It could be Loghain on his way to Orlais for all I know. Unless he's dead too. It could even be Anora - one of the people guaranteed to survive if Alistair buys it.

Or there could be nothing.

Let's just say Alistair ex'ed.

Starting out the game,  players are tasked to select from three builds to carry over from the  first game if they don’t have a save to upload. The three builds are as  follows verbatim:

“Hero of Ferelden” (Default )

Ended Fifth Blight by killing Archdemon and survived. Placed Alistair on the throne.

“The Martyr”

Young Dalish Elf who died to kill the Archdemon. She left the kingdom ruled by Alisair and Anora.

“No Compromise”

Dwarven noble took command of Grey Wardens. Exalted Alistair, sent  Loghain to his death against Archdemon, and left Anora as Ferelden’s ruler.

I have playthroughs for the first two, the dalish elf one was one of my favourites as well, female dalish elf archer. I have a dwaren noble parked halfway thru so maybe I'll finish that for the full set

'Tis the impression I am getting as well and it bodes well for those of us with a Warden Alistair (he rarely gets a mention, never shows up in Awakening or anything). There's been talk about Drunk and King Alistair before but let's not forget the Warden variety

So the default world state is that the Warden survived killing the Archdemon and Alistair is king....hmmm...is the Dark Ritual the default choice then? Old God Baby for DA3???

That would be awesome!!!!

[OBakaSama]

The dark ritual isn't mentioned in those three options. My guess is they want to keep that underwraps for future development, but also because it isn't certain to have happened anyway.



And as far as I'm concerned it's possible to be the Hero of Ferelden without doing the Dark Ritual. If my playthrough wasn't bugged, all the Warden has to do is make Alistair king with Anora, spare Loghain (fight him yourself), refuse the Dark Ritual, then allow Loghain to perform the Ultimate Sacrifice. The Warden survives and gets all the plaudits.

[Carl the Keeper]

What I find interesting is that the origin and race of the warden actually matter. I think this hints to a cameo appearence of the warden. Why else would it matter what the warden looks like.

Because they want to be able to have people talk about them, and make them feel like a specific character?  For exaple, City Elves should react to the fact that one of their people is the big hero

Sure, but going off of the other descriptions, they mention that in the "Hero of Ferelden" one, it was the Warden PC which killed the AD and survived. The only way for the person making the killing blow to have survived was to have done the DR, nevermind that it only mentions Loghain sacrificing himself or Alistair ruling with Anora, rather he rules alone.

You can certainly survive without doing the DR like you said, but its different than the "Hero of Ferelden" ending they described in the article.
