Wow the whole conflict with Sten and the farmers could have been avoided with...cookies.  All they had to do was feed him a few cookies while he was recouping and the whole mess would have avoided.    I guess he wouldn't have been in the story though.  (I'm joking with this post btw I just had a conversation with Sten and found out he has a weakness for cookies as well as cake)  It took me off guard somewhat. 

[Nyaore]

Honestly I don't think even the almighty power of cookies could have prevented Sten from killing that family in a blind rage, but at least they would have helped to cheer him up while he waited to be carted off to his little cell/cage/thingy.

[Barrendall]

heh I agree, it just put a funny scene in my head where Sten starts to go berserk on the people when he happens to peer over their shoulders, stops his rage and exclaims "Oooo! Cookies!!"

[JamesX]

Not even rage. It was panic. Sheer panic.

[Felene]

I guess that sword must be something like a passport and a Driver license or Social Security Card combination.

That's why he panic.

Well, I know I will panic if I lost all of them.

[rayvioletta]

the real reason he killed them was that they promised him cake to make up for the loss of his sword. there was no cake. the cake was a lie

Maybe he thought there were going to call Immigration on his ass.  And he was all like "no way, pendejos"

[mordaza]

Because this is the spoiler-area Im gonna ask a question.



Why did Sten slaughter the farmers? I can't get him to like me enough and I wanna know .

[JamesX]

Because he panic-ed when he realized he couldn't get his sword back ever.

The Sword is everything that he is. It is more important than his life. So in the panic, even know he know the farmers were not lying to him about not having it, he killed them in attempt to get them to "talk."

It's kind of funny how **** is not allow while pendejos are shown.

Personally I think he was suffering from darkspawn blood poisoning.

It makes sense being attacked and left for them by darkspawn and all. It seems a little out of character for him to go on a murder spree even in a blind panic.

You don't just 'get better' from that though, and sense it's never mentioned as a possibility, I doubt it. The fact is we don't know Sten from before he did that, I got the feeling he was really keeping himself in check afterwards, cause their is deffinitly glimspes at a really large temper under that emotionaless exterior.

It's just a possibility. Some people do recover and gain immunity I believe. The shock of what he did may have brought him back to his senses.
As for mentioning it, Sten never would. It wouldn't change anything.

[JamesX]

AFAIK No on recovers from dark spawn. You either catch it or you get lucky and don't catch it. once catch it you always suffer it.

The Warden's drink is not just the fresh dark spawn blood you gathered. That blood is just a catalyst for the actual full potion. It is my guess that the fresh dark spawn blood quickens the true blood inside the potion and nothing else.

I think the Warden's immunity is because their taint is a far stronger taint.

  He says if he were to show up and give his report to his superiors about the darkspawn (the reason he was sent to Ferelden) he'd be killed as a traitor because he didn't have his sword.  The sword is a symbol for everything that he is.  No living Qunari would willingly give up his sword and still be alive.

Non-noble Dog recovers after darkspawn poisoning.

Sten's personal quest, get his approval high enough and he'll start it off.

Get your influence to over 25  (Give him paintings, if you didn't manage it via dialogue), get the quest off him, visit Lake Calenhad, Outer Orzzamar, and Redcliffe.

[pastypus]

his approval is freindly and he tells me about losing his sword around the lake- i agree to help look for it - and than nothing??? no area on the map and he doesnt talk about it again?

[Alynna_tp]

Go to the docks that lead to the mage tower and talk to the man scavenging the bodies there.

[RiceFarmer]

I lol'd at Sten when at the end of the game he says "Where is the cake? I was told there would be cake. The cake is a lie!"

At the very end you talk to all your companions, when your conversation is done with Sten try speaking to him again and he will give you that line about the cake.
