Keep in mind Duncan was only beginning to sense the taint creeping up on him and told Alistair "it wouldn't be long" before he'd go to get himself killed in Orzammar.

But that's a vague timeline at best. Some Wardens like Asturian lingered on a little too much when their time was up, but he still had enough of his faculties intact to go to Orzammar.

 We won't see him again as he has gone on to become the Stig. Just FYI.

So i am sure it is highly impossible for Duncan to maybe... um duck? He did completely destroy a highly skilled Ser Jory and kill and Ogre by himself

Duncan, exhausted, injured and demoralised kneels over the king's corpse. A horde of darkspawn rush towards them, through clouded eyes he stares at the Alpha defiantly as it sweeps it's axe down on Duncan's head...

.... Duncan ducks and yells "PSYCHE!".

... yeah. Sure. Whatever.

So your make believe fantasy world is more plausible than mine?

Its a thought i had, and am enjoying the discussion... and i am right

[SarEnyaDor]

Ducking is for pansies!!

[kaimanaMM]

Duncan is dead.



Duncan's beard however can't die.



Thus, we'll most likely encounter Duncan's beard wearing Cailan's armor still kicking a** and taking names the whole time we've been traipsing around Ferelden. An axe may have shared Duncan's face, but the immortal beard of legend lives on!

I'm talking about consistency. The man is clearly injured and broken and the darkspawn are dropping large battleaxes on him.
By your logic, it's a fantasy world. Therefore flying pink elephants saved Duncan and took him to the Happy Bear Palace in the sky.

I like this poster. That is all.

I don't think it's a question of can it be done so much as should it. IMHO, no, it shouldn't. The "ZOMGWTFBBQ I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD" plot device is horribly overused.

Asturian may not have been taken captive by Darkspawn.

So? Unless there's something that says darkspawn can speed up the spread of a Warden's taint when they clearly cannot since they're *immune*, that changes nothing.

I agree.  If only to avoid more sadface Alistair and more Duncan conversations.

OKAY,  YOU'RE SAD.  I GET IT. NOW SHUT UP AND TELL ME I'M PRETTY.

I already came up with a scenerio of why the Darkspawn would want a Grey Warden alive.. its perfectly believable in the world.

Or will they keep coming back and continue to have a Warden end the Blight... they need a new strategy.

Sure he is injured, and more than likely he is dead... but i like the possibilty that they want him for something more is intrigueing.

[SarEnyaDor]

There's a fanfic up at Team Alistair that has Duncan as a ghoul crawling around Ostegar and Alistair and PC having to dispatch him and the emotional fall-out over it, but I got the impression that the taint is a slow acting posion and kills you slowly instead of instantly like it did my poor beloved Daveth. A slow, wasting death of the mind and body more than a transformation and that kind of death is worth nothing and so they go to Deep Roads to make their death more meaningful.

I don't think darkspawn can.  The Architect however...

I'm just sayin', if a certain genlock with fists of fury saw Duncan being dragged away...  said genlock would not be happy.

Indeed, we had Zombie Jesus (no relation), Zombie Wan, Zombie Every-Comic-Book-Character-EVER, Zombie Van Halen...

How about this unexpected plot twist: "Incredible! He's dead and gone and turned into Duncanburgers and will never return!"?

[The Angry One]

In any case this will all be resolved in the sequel where we meet Duncan's clean shaven twin brother and help him uncover the secret of Duncan's power in Dragon Age 2: The Legend of Duncan's Beard.

[The Angry One]

The Architect is.. just.. no. No. Just no.

[JabberJaww]

The Darkspawn seem to know nothing about the secret behind the Wardens... if the Darkspawn are going to continue to make a return in the future, there needs to be a scenerio that makes them tougher.. in my opinion it involves a captured Warden to help then evolve past the bond the ritual causes.... Duncan is a logical choice for my theory.

[Varenus Luckmann]

Neither do I.

Yeah I always found it curious that the Darkspawn after FOUR failed attempts due to the Grey Wardens, have taken no measure to rethink their strategy.

What strategy?

It's somewhat like asking why mice haven't started rethinking their strategy, after getting stuck in traps for over a thousand years.

[LadyVaJedi]

I bet Duncan is Santa Claus living up North Pole.

Damn, put me on the pre-order list for that!!!!!

[Flamin Jesus]

The last time the Darkspawn captured a Warden, Weisshaupt immediately knew and sent a rescue party, just sayin'.

[The Angry One]

If there's one thing I do agree with David Gaider on, it's that future Dragon Age should not revolve around Yet Another Blight.

Hence, screw the Darkspawn. They're a belligerent horde who've had their day, their plans haven't changed in millenia, why would they now?

[yuri102010]

Or Ducan could be stuck really hard in the head and loosing all his memories roaming the land killing darkspawn without any reason until his memories have return...or the evil light had corrupted him into a super duper evil villian who knows..XP
