It would be a simple switch if people decided to let Sten live/or die. (I won't be specific or anything but a certain storyline in ME2 had a similar situation).

I really need to read the comics, I only read the first two books by David Gaider and life got busy so I haven't had much time to do anything but work lately.

Keep in mind, also, that just because he's the Arishok in the comics, that doesn't mean he'll be the Arishok in DA3. Alistair may kill him in #3 for all we know.

The comic-_- preview is up if you want to check out some of their brutal fight.

I doubt they'll kill one of their most popular characters in a comic book.

Gaider killed off Wynne in Asunder.  Maybe X'ing off Origins characters is a new trend.  It might reduce the various demands to see them return, anyway.

I'm surprised to hear it.

Wynne was old and she even said she was living off spare time from the spirit. Sten isn't old nor is he living off something.

Plus Wynne was killable in DAO, Sten wasn't.

He was leave-to-die-able.

[Knight of Dane]

leave to die is not the same as actually die.

That doesn't prove he died. He might just have decided at the last minute to get out.

Sten unfortunaly is not that badass. He would have probably died if you left to him.

But you guys know how magical Bioware is:

Inquisitor: "Who are you?"

Sten: "I'm the Arishok."

Leliana: "Sten????? Haven't you died?"

Sten: Haven't you also Leliana?"

Leliana: "The maker had other plans."

He could have died.... well, of course. Anyone could die against a horde.

I'm not saying he actually broke out in the last minute but he might have decided after you moved that "Hey, I actually don't want to die. I'm going to go find my sword myself and go back to my country". Then he could have easily broken the cage door and walked out because the only reason he stayed there was because of his own free will and not because he was actually trapped.

Even though Sten could be left behind in Lothering it doesn't necessarily mean that he's dead. They could have it so that one of the Lothering villagers let him out before Lothering fell, and he recovers his sword on his own.

The difference between a Sten rescued by the Warden and a Sten rescued by ranom villager #4213, could be Sten's views towards the rest of Thedas. One who wasn't recruited by the Warden could be more hostile and have a more traditional Qunari viewpoint, whereas one recruited by the Warden learned a few things on that journey, and is a little more liberal.

Not if the favourite companion polls are any judge, only Wynne does worse

Those polls are a little bit misleading however, in that you can only choose one character. Most people inevitably end up choosing characters that their PC romanced, and the non-LI characters generally speaking are lower ranked.

I think Sten was a character that most people liked. He may not necessarily be the favorite,  but I'd bet on more people having a favorable impression of the character than a negative one.

Just your impression, then?

[Villiamus]

I think if anyone deserves to be Arishok it's Sten. good on yah mate! hope I don't have to kill you :-)

[Yalision]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sten survived Lothering, but he would never be able to return to Par Vollen without his sword. How he would have worked that little detail out, I don't know.

According to the lores canon apparently he is.

We have no reason to assume the Arishok will even be in DA3 since it was confirmed that the qunari do not have a major role in the story.

He appeared in David Gaider's canon. Just because Alistair was King in this canon, doesn't mean he will King in DA3.

[Knight of Dane]

Do you know what the word canon means?

Canon is all the collected "knowledge" of a subject mostly used in religion and law, in this case Dragon Age lore is the subject.

A canon involves all possible outcomes when we talk about a branching fictional universe, so far only the outcome of a living Sten is known, he has never been shown as dead, ever.

Until the time Sten is talked about or viewed as dead in official sources, the canon only allow us to assume he is alive.

I thought the qunari used a very strict caste system, so you couldn't move up or down in it. Sten was born to be a sten, and so was trained at birth to do so, the arishock was born an arishock and raised to do so, etc, etc.

Doesn't make sense with that type of system that a sten would become an arishock since succession seems to work radically different than other orginizations.

Besides, what if you didn't kill the old arishock in the last game and gave him isebella and the book?

So I've been hearing recently, that Sten (the companion in Origins, obviously) is the new Arishok, and will be in DA3.

Is this true? I mean, sure Leliana was retconned, and sure she became Divine Justinia III's right hand for her feats alongside the most famous Warden. She even joined the Seekers, most likely above the older Seekers who had been there longer, but will BioWare really do the same for Sten? Is he truly the new Arishok in DA3, even though he can supposedly die at the hands of the darkspawn in Lothering (if left in the cage)?

Also, is there only one Arishok, or are there more than one in the Qunari's society?

I thought cassandra was made right hand of the divine after saving her life? Can the divine have two right hands? This is the first I hear of this about leliana, what is it based off? Also, seekers suppose to be a faction of the templars, it's not something you just pick up on carreer day.

As for sten, being left in a cage is not what I call certain death... maybe the darkspawn opened the cage, and then he kicked all their asses; and then went to calanhad and redcliff and got his sword back, while kicking the ass of anyone who happen to be in his way. That sounds like something he would do...
