Wondering if it's worth picking him up?  I tried to free him when I first came across him but the priestess wouldn't have it.  My heart wasn't in it anyway, because (just going by the evidence) he didn't seem like a nice chap anyway.

So: a) how do you get him out of the cage, and  is it worth getting him gameplay-wise?  (I'd like to at least have him for the conversations even if he isn't much use.)

Leliana proves to be the decider when ya talk to tha Revered Mother. He isn't much for talk persay but he has his moments.

[TreasonWall]

You can also free him by lockpicking the cage.

He's a beast early game, with some great stats. Later on , I think he gets outshined by Ohgren, who tends to be very similar combat wise, but much more entertaining to keep around.

Dare I say it's worth recruiting everyone you can for later on in the game?

My biggest problem with Sten is he's always lvl 7 when I get him and he has no base spec, so you lose out on one.

yeah true, that should be fixed, if its a bug. what would he start as?

[Loc'n'lol]

It's not a bug, Sten is a warrior and there's nothing more to say about him.

I don't think it's a bug, he seems to have higher base attributes so you don't really lose out on the bonus from a specialisation. I used him as tank for a mage playthrough and it worked just fine, although other characters are better as main tanks, with Sten being specced for 2h weapons...

Sten's just a good ol' warrior. Forget specs, he's purely a damage machine. Go deep 2-handed and equip him with a good weapon. One of the most entertaining party combinations I ever had was him, Oghren, Wynne, and my 2-H massive damage dwarf warrior. I called it "Team Beefwall", and believe it or not, it worked.



Another idea, if you're using respec mod, is to turn Sten into a sword and board tank. You don't really need a specialization for that.

Yea just the interplay between Ohrgren and Wynne is enough to keep them playing each other.. I secretly wanted those two to hook up.

What was the conversation in the deep roads, after Wynne guesses all the items in the Ale he gives her? Your my kind of woman I aught to take you over to a dark spot and give you .... (Wynne says More Ale?) paraphrased here.

It got me laughing for a while!

Honestly he's skippable but I prefer to get everyone that I can. To me the game pretty much forces you to set your party as two mages, one healer and one CC/DPS, one rogue so you can open chests and doors, and a tank. Sten is really meant to do 2h DPS and you already have alistar who with his Templar talents is already a better choice for a tank.

I disagree.  I did the game with sword and shield warrior, alistar, shale, and wynne for most of the game and that worked just fine.  That was also my party for the end game and I had no real probs.

[Taleroth]

Yeah, my 2 Sword and Shield + Leliana + Wynne run was easier than my 2 Mage run, by far.

Oghren actually has 4 more (base) attribute points than Sten.  The only advantage of Sten is that you get him earlier, so you have more control over his level up choices.

Sten should be picked up simply because it gives you a two handed specialist early in the game and he can deal good damage the main pain i didnt like is that he has no armour or weapon. As for the not a nice chap part you want him to destroy people in game him being slightly brutal is good but anyways he isnt a bad character or a annoying psychotic once you up hes approval ( he even picks flowers). Why do you use two mages? that sounds kinda needless especially once you unlock the specialisations I use Wynne or myself as the mage ,Shale and either Ogrhren/Alistair or Leliana depending what kind of character i am and if i want to open chests.
