1. How old are some of the dudes in this game? If Loghain took a big part in freeing Ferelden from the Orlesians, does that make him 50-55? (Maybe someone who's read the books can help me here?) If he's in his 50s, what does that make Arl Eamon? 60? Or Wynne? Does that make relatively young-looking characters, like Alistair and Cailin and Morrigan in their mid-20s? 

2. Am I supposed to really not do Morrigan's ritual? I mean, I felt the reasons to go through with it and not sacrifice myself or Alistair (or Loghain) to be quite compelling.

3. Are there horses in Ferelden? I see wagons pulled by oxen- mostly flayed of their skin- and there's the hallas. Just wondering, are there no horses? What about cats?

4. There is no 4.

5. If lyrium makes people crazy, how can you go around handling raw lyrium to make potions?

6. Do you think the sequel or further DLC will reveal that Avernicus has "solved" the taint problem? Or not, since you can kill him?

7. Do guys that played the game or people who didn't romance Alistair think it was as engrossing as some of Alistair's fan-girls? I just beat it playing a male warrior and didn't use Alistair at all. I didn't find that playthrough as much fun. Did you find the other romances or player/NPC relationships to be as engaging or improve the game that much? Me personally, I think Alistair is the adorable icing on the awesome cake that is Dragon Age: Origins.

That's all!

Alistair is 32, I'm not sure about the others.

Where does it say this?

Raw lyrium is dangerous. Refined lyrium is not.

Toolset - under the character descriptions, I think.

Ahhhh... that's info for the VO people. It's an apparent age and gives a range for the actor, not his actual age.

Whew! Scared me for a moment there.

What about the Lyrium Veins you use in the battle at the Anvil of the Void...or is that not raw or enough?

*bangs head against desk repeatedly*

Space lyrium. It's my only explanation for THAT stuff.

Ok so huh... game mechanics aside, this stuff *should* make whoever touches it mad and/or dead. Unless it's a dwarf or a tranquil, right ?

Raw lyrium affects mages the worst, yes. The affect on non-mages is lesser but still harmful. Dwarves and tranquil would be mostly unaffected by raw lyrium unless they spend too much time in its presence.

It shouldn't give you a power up or a boost to your mana when you touch it. Not unless it's... something else, I guess. In that instance I guess it's just PC gameplay privilege.

1. The Qunari have been living in Thedas for around 300 years now. They keep their mages crippled and in cages. This implies to me that magic is a relatively new development for them. So, did magic manifest itself in their populace after living a few generations in Thedas, or did they already know about magic before crossing the pond?

It's not a new development for them.

2. Are griffons extinct extinct or just no longer present in the populated segments of Thedas? Would adding them to the game break canon or ruin future DLC plans?

They're thought to be extinct. Short of finding THE LAST GRIFFON or whatever, I don't know -- I can't say what the future holds.

3. Were Arlathian cities always based in the middle of forests?

Arlathian? Do you mean Arlathan?

Arlathan was a city that existed in a forest, yes. It was the capital (and really the only) city of Elvhenan.

I have one question, Tamlen says that statue in the Dalish elf origin cave is an statue of some elven god if I remember correctly. But apparently those statues are everywhere. In fact that blood mage mansion in denerim have about 4 of them I think, so how can that be? I have seen them elsewhere as well?

I might be mistaken though here.

I don't know. Maybe it was the elven god of art re-use?
