for me at least.

I mean both Hawke(if not mage) and the Warden were at Ostagar. While Warden was incapacitated, woke up next morning (or evening, cant tell for sure) and then went to Lorthering from the Korcari Wilds, which are further away from Lothering than Ostagar.
She arrived in Lothering in no hurry, killed some bandits, who misstook her mage robes for the uniform of the local brothel, killed more bandits, bears, spiders, darkspawn, made some traps, some posion, some health potions, intimdated nuns, started a bar fight, recruited Ms. Stabbity and sten a.s.o. And at this point the occupants of Lothering were still uncertain about their options, discusing them in front of the chantry. Noone was in a hurry to leave, some were more concerned about some pests on their fields more than bout the darkspawn. Hell the nuns were still preaching in the chantry.

Meanwhile Hawke was RUNNING since Ostagar, arrived barely in time to grab his/her mother and sister and flee the immidiate darkspawn danger. The darkspawn didnt only had time to flatten Lothering but also to blight-o-form the lands.

TL;DR: The timelines of events in both stories seem to diiffer quiet much

"Running since Ostagar" is not the same as "we ran directly here after the battle".

They (or simply Carver) got there as soon as they could, while evading darkspawn, and arrived well after the Warden (who, at this point in time, would have been completing his/her first major world quest). I suppose we could have Carver and/or the player stop and outline exactly what they've been up to since Ostagar, but I'm not sure who that would be of interest to aside from people who like to call everything that isn't explicitly explained to them a plothole.

I hope by those "people with a plothole-fetish" you don't mean me, because I just wanted to point out some info, which didn't add up for me.


No, I mean people who prefer to have everything explained to them, and without that they seek out reasons why something couldn't happen the way it does rather than reasons it could. Whether you're part of that group, I don't really know.
 

So does this mean, that nothing of importance happened between his/their flight from Ostagar and his/their arrival home or that the revelation of this info wouldn't serve any purpose at this point , but it's going to be revealed including some mindblowing plottwists (the origin of carver-Hawke-rivalry predestination???)?


I meant that nothing happened which was relevant to you fleeing from the darkspawn, at which point a discussion of recent history would only serve to slow down the action.

BTW: Did Flemeth really had an "appointment" after saving Hawke(s) or did she just tell that to enjoy some Morrigan-free time somewhere nice?


Could be. It might also be awesome, and I'm just not going to tell you. Posted Image

Just a side note: we have a choice to either kill Flemeth or let her live during Morrigan's quest. In my play-throughs I almost always let her live. Just a thought.


And it's impossible to receive Morrigan's quest until after Lothering is destroyed.
