Oh, QQQ, DA2 didn't let me play the race I want. LET ME MAKE THE TENTH THREAD WHINING ABOUT IT.

One of the things I always enjoyed about Origins is how all six Origin stories take place together. The one that is 'canon' is whichever one Duncan turns up at.

Without Duncan, Teyrn Cousland's son/daughter fails to escape the castle.
Without Duncan, the son/daughter of Lord Aeducan dies in the Deep Roads.
Without Duncan, the Dwarf Commoner rots in a cell (I think... I don't actually remember how you wind up with Duncan in that one. )
Without Duncan, the Dalish Elf dies of the Taint.
Without Duncan, the City Elf is left to the mercies of the Arl of Denerim.
Without Duncan, the Circle Mage is either convicted of aiding a Blood Mage, or if Irving spares him/her (s)he likely dies during the Blood Mage uprising.

The fact that there is evidence, if you know where to look, that these things happen even though you don't pick that character is awesome. It's a curious moment to be stood in the Carta base, staring at a corpse in a cell and thinking "there, but for the grace of God, go I."

In a way, it's also our fault. Duncan goes to whatever character we, the player, choose. In effect, we are the Warden-Commander ordering Duncan to check on the Circle, or look for recruits in Highever, or take part in a Deep Roads Expedition. We send him to find a recruit, and he does... and the other five are left to suffer their fates.

Maybe that's why we all seem to care for the Warden so much more than Hawke; we killed five 'Wardens' in the prologue alone.

Love that ^^.

It'd be kind of neat if they could incorporate one or two of those at the Joining.  Replace the rogue or the angsty expectant father knight with one of the other 'could be' warden candidates.   I mean if someone has to die in the joining.....

I just recently realised that one of my Wardens was accidently deleated when I was tyring to make more room on my PS3 (stupid 40GB model. I am so ready for the next gen to upgrade with). Anyway, it was my human noble who I haven't yet imported into the DA2 game. In order to see how that plays out in DA3 I have to start from scratch.

I'm going to play right through everything: DA:O, Awakening, Golems, and then the Morrigan DLC. Fun times.

My playthroughs are always like that.  I never stop with just Origins, and altogether they combine for quite the adventure.

Dude, this thread had nothing to do with DA2 when I created it. DAO is an awesome game and is still played by many after almost 3 years. I enjoy DA2 as well. How shocking.

Definitely the best way to do it.
