You do know that Prince Bhelen and Anvil destroyed is the good choice right? Harrowmont and Anvil intact is the evil choice. Harrowmont and Bhelen are diferant people if your the dwarf commoner instead of the noble....
Bhelen is Ruthless, Harrowmont is a Tyrant. Both are manipulating, scoundrels. Honestly if your a Dwarf Noble and you choose Harrowmont your showing how much personal bias your are having instead of thinking about whats best for the kingdom and your people. A very evil selfish act in book. Alot of the "good choices" are very selfish and screw over everyone else and some even cause the most harm and damage in Dragonage. Its not Black and White.
Also I dont see the problem? Theres plenty of builds around here for Nightmare solo runs with every class. How can lacking mages later on be a issue? You can easily beat Origins with a poor build on nightmare. Your thinking to much into this. (Theres a naked mage solo nightmare run......even)
Debatable.
Bhelen is obviously the right choice from the Dwarf Commoner origin. Harrowmont is the obvious right choice from the Dwarf Noble origin. For all other origins, the game gently pushes you towards pushing Harrowmont by having Bhelen's fighter brutally murder someone when you enter Orzammar, and the first Dwarf you talk to tells you how horrible Bhelen is. Even Bhelen's missions are 'dirtier' than Harrowomont's.
Now, I chose Bhelen. Why?
Because both you and I know through meta-game knowledge that Orzammar ends up "better" with Bhelen in charge. So for my somewhat good core playthrough, I chose Bhelen. It took some roleplaying, but I managed to mesh it with my character idea.
No one mentioned the Anvil, but... y'know, thanks for reminding everyone.
And, honestly, if I'm an
evil Dwarf Noble, why wouldn't I choose Harrowmont? We (the players) know he's the lesser choice, but our characters don't. That, and she's evil. Plus, her brother Bhelen framed her for murder and kicked her out of her homeland, removing her caste. Oh, and through meta-game knowledge we know Harrowmont dies if we chose him, then we become
Queen of Orzammar. The only roleplying reason I can see for her to pick Bhelen is mental insanity. That's hard to roleplay.
As for the solo Nightmare runs... good for them. There are people who can beat Super Mario 3 in under 10 minutes. Someone recently just beat Fallout: New Vegas without killing anyone or anything. These are extremely difficult and not always fun methods of playing these games. They also take a lot of time to get perfect, and a lot of pre-planning. They're great if you want to show how hardcore you are. I'm not one of those people. I play for fun. Fun, for me, is having a mage in my party for crowd control, especially at Nightmare.
Though, if you feel like YouTubing a Nightmare run solo, I would definitely watch it. No sarcasm. Actually, if anyone has links to someone doing that, let me know. I'd be much more fun to watch than to try myself.
