I seem to have come to a stalemate. Usually Sten comes up and talks to me first time we go to camp...he didn't. Then usually, I ask him all his questions and something he mentioned and boom he opens up and I get his quest. Nope. All questions are gone...and still no quest...and I still have a pretty good repore with him. So uh, what went wrong this time? Oh yeah, and I usually take him with me like 75% of the time.

Any advice?

Bribe him with gifts?

How do you get Sten's quest? Usually after you ask all the questions?

Asking all the questions barely does anything, you just need to get him to like you enough.

Yeah, it seems really easy to get in good favors with Sten...usually every time you talk to him is approval goes up drastically. I usually find if I take him on a few quests and talk to him in camp I get. I got it in my last playthrough before I had even completed a major quest.

I seem to be having some trouble with that...I have only been able to find two paintings for him, and I gave them both to him...do you know what else he likes?

he does not look for a conversation with you the whole time ... no pc does that because the content is just not endless and they react on certain triggers when they come forward to you ... no trigger is also no spontaneous talk so as long as your relation is positive you have little reason to worry.

if you want to have a talk with him yourself then the classic opening for a more positive talk with Sten is the line with ... about something he said.
he does not really like to talk much by himself so you have to take the indirect approach as opener instead of the "i like to ask you a question" and give him answers in the line of a common ground with his duty/culture or if there is none available then you better give him a question for an answer to avoid a bad answer.
think to the point of making him feel good with leadership/duty in general rather than your own good or bad concepts with him.

Have you gone to haven yet? if not he will duel you when you arrive and if you win you can get some good cool points from him.

Thanks I will give it a try...take it out a few more times and see if I can't trigger anything.

Seriously? You can duel Sten? Okay...I just finished that quest...but this seems worth a reload. Thanks!

if you can not beat him one on one then you can make him figth in his underwear. it's a cheat-exploit but if you have to do it at least it is a funny one

[NarcissaArtois]

Hahaha thats funny. Actually I took him to Haven just so I could hear what the guardian would say to him...and to see what he looked like in his underwear...weird...maybe, but I was curious. After all you have no possibility of a romance cutscene with him.

Much like the other companions, he'll accept anything. So if you have a spare Generic Gift, toss one at him.

In practice, all I have to do is chat him up in Lothering, give him a single gift (which triggers his first stat boost), and then I don't have to do anything more than talk to him to keep his approval rising. Right now I have him at 100, and I gave him nothing more than 2 paintings, his sword, and a generic gift. I took him with me to all three personal quest stops, each time netting +2, and I (Persuade)ed him in the initial Teagan convo, as well as forcing Lloyd to fight, both of which brings positive approval.

[Serenity84]

Sten only likes paintings. But unlike the gifts for Leliana for example, they are more spread out throughout the game. You just have to keep an eye out for them.



I got all his normal conversations and like 80 approval by giving him gifts and then talking to him whenever options came up.

I found out about this duel the hard way on nightmare difficulty. Headed up into town with sten in Dragon DLC armor and myself in starter gear, only decent item i had was "the edge". Thank goodness for stun poisons.

Sten likes the following gifts the best.



1) Painting of a Rebel Queen - Dwarven Merchant (Random Encounter)

2) Portrait of a Goosegirl - Faryn (Frostback Mountains)

3) Silver Framed Still Life - Chest (Upper Level of Castle Redcliffe)

4) Totem - Chest (Caradin's Cross)

5) Water-stained Portrait - Charred Corpse (Senior Mage Quarters in Circle Tower)

6) Sten's Sword - Personal quest (Starts in camp when he mentions losing his sword)

[beauville]

He likes alcohol too.

[Hahren]

Sten also enjoyed the cake the Mabari found. Yum!

[Fishy]

approval of sten's so easy to riase it's not even funny..Find 3-4 gift he like talk to him .. do the sword quest and you're at 100.

[PatT2]

You know, I had a problem getting sten to talk with one my characters also. Just didn't have any options.



The very first thing you need to say to him is "I'm not here to impress you." That he approves of. Give him a good painting. This game, I was able to talk to him right away after that about "what were you doing in that cage?" which will take you to his quest. It's just that it can happen that you don't get that question option.

This time, I did not get Shale until after I got the quest for Sten. Maybe it bugs Sten's quest to get Shale before you get Sten to talk? That's the only difference between the 2 games. But I did have a similar problem and it is possible that it is not the user.

[metatrans]

Sten is a hard-ass. he only respects strength and confidence. deal with him accordingly. also, he's got an appreciation for fine art. go figure.

[Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien]

As for getting the speech where he tells you about losing his sword, I found that if you go to see Faryn outside Orzammar with Sten in the group BEFORE you get the speech and thus also before seeing the scavenger at Lake Calenhad, Faryn reacts to Sten being there even though you aren't on the quest yet. Everytime I've done this it usually the next or 2nd camp trip after that Sten comes up and tells my character bout losing his sword.

I brought him to Haven once, when we arrive he question about why we were there and that was it...no duel? =(

[NarcissaArtois]

Wow thanks guys for the advice. I will try to correct the situation!
