I've never spared Loghain. I just don't think I could take betraying Alistair like that.  Besides I just think of Katriel and a smile comes over my face when Alistair cuts off Loghain's head.

I agree about the dumping scene.  I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach.  I cried for the rest of the day (I'm so hopeless with things like that).

I spared him, talked to him at camp for a few minutes, then promptly reloaded the Landsmeet to have Al kill him. I don't know if I'll be able to have a playthrough where I feed him to the archdemon, as much as I'd like to.

I've done it for the achievement, but that is one file I probably will not ever play again, just due to the fact that I hate Loghain so much. It killed me to see Alistair leave the Landsmeet with betrayal on his mind.

Am I the only one who hated Katriel and thought she got exactly what she desereved?? Really?

You are not the only one. Good riddance, I say. Sins may be forgiven, but crimes require punishment. But then, I really liked Maric and I really disliked Katriel. Probably would have been more appropriate if Loghain did the deed himself, but Maric really needed a wake-up call.


Frankly I think Queen Rowan repeatedly getting crapped on by fate was the most upsetting thing for me. That was a woman who deserved much, much better than what she got. And yes, I obviously liked her a hell of a lot more than Katriel, whom I despised and had zero sympathy for.


On a last note, I always spare Loghain because Alistair was one of those characters who I really liked, but as I played through the game started to dislike him more and more until after a few playthroughs I couldn't stand him. Loghain, I hated at first, then started to like him as I did more playthroughs.

Go figure.

You know I don't hardly ever post on these things. I just read them. But I had to read every single post on this and comment. I have to agree with you all. I cried on just about every single thing that was posted. This game has moved me like no other. I didn't even like the game at first, because I wasn't getting used to the controls. But once I did, I really got into the game, and the story. Mainly the characters and how real they felt. I quickly became obsessed.

I purchased another copy of the game, this time, Collector's Edition. I purchased the Collector's Edition version of the Strategy Guide, mainly for the Lore. I purchased both Novels, I purchased the Tabletop RPG by Green Ronin, the PDF's, and all the Downloadable content. I even played through the Dragon Age Journey's Flash Game, and look forward to the next chapter.  I can't seem to get enough of this world. Mainly I think it's David Gaider's writing. He's truly awesome. After experiencing all this, I really wished I could talk to him and ask him some questions about storylines, characters, his world, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he is one of moderators in these forums. But I realize, that even if I asked so many burning questions, such as:

What did Maric give to Flemeth in the Stolen Throne? (I suspect a child)

Was it really Katriel in the Fade in The Calling or a good hearted spirit? (Such as the one that possesses Wynne)

Is Alistair the child that Fiona gives up at the end of The Calling? (which I suspect it is)

What was the REAL reason that Loghain turned on the King at the beginning of Dragon Age: Origins? Was it really just as simple as he felt it was a lost cause?

And what really happens to Morrigan and her child at the end of the game? Does Flemeth possess her? Is the child really not going to be grow up to be evil and powerful and tainted?

Maric died after The Calling but before Origins. But unless I missed it somewhere, how did he die?

Is Duncan really dead? If not, did he somehow escape? Or is he being turned into a Darkspawn?

These and many more are questions i'd LOVE to get answers to. But I realize, even if he wanted to, he can't answer them. They are too plot revealing. I am hoping, however, that in future games, books, etc. that eventually at least some of these will be answered. But only time will tell I suppose.

Although I believe I am straying from the topic. There were many many tearjerkers for me. But the top ones from each major story was as follows:

The Stolen Throne: Definitely Maric killing Katriel. I'm the kind of person that always looks for the good in people. I"m a sucker for a bad guy (or gal) to turn good at the last moment. Darth Vader turning on the Emperor to save his son was a big tear jerker for me. So I wanted Katriel to betray her original way of life and contract for love. And she did....but sadly....she did so, too late. That was a very hard part to read.

The Calling: Wow. There are so many. The part with Kell and Hafter was very saddening. The part with Maric and Katriel in the Fade was also difficult. But I have to say that Julien dying, Nicolas's reaction, and then Nicolas deciding to stay in the Fade, was definitely the biggest tearjerkers for me.

Dragon Age: Origins: Again, there were a lot. But I think the Ultimate Sacrifice is the part I cried on the most. I put a lot of work into all my Character Concepts. My first DA:O character was one of my favorites from previous Roleplaying and RPG's. Complete with an entire background, and storyline and what not and so forth. And while the very LAST THING I wanted for my character, was for her to die, I HAD to stay true to character concept, and unfortunately, that particular character would very easily choose to die to protect the lives of millions. (Or thousands, whatever the case may be)

I've only had one full playthrough so far. But I have a ton of ideas for character concepts. I can say I'm not nearly as into this second playthrough, however, as I was the first. I think it's because I made a cold hearted evil ****** b------. He kills everyone, betrays everyone, insults everyone, lies and doesn't care about anything, or anyone, but himself. And his personality is so far different from my own, that I think that's why I'm having trouble getting into it. But I wanted at least one "evil" character playthrough, just to say I've done it. *shrugs*

Having played my playthrough with a Morrigan romance from early on, for me it was her leaving.

Granted it was obvious she had an ulterior motive; the hushing of the guardian spirit in particular made that obvious, but it was more that she had flusters of emotion she didn't want to have or was scared of, and suddenly you're presented with a scenario resulting in her saying regardless of what the warden is to her she's only here because she wants the soul of an old god in her baby and if you're not giving she's off, oh, and if you're giving she's off once she has the goods.

It's especially punishing in that it seemed with her mother's temporary death and her questioning some of her teachings that it made little sense for her to go through with Flemeth's plan regardless of all this.

The conversation after this in Denerim in particular is pretty painful, though I see the obvious writing/plot reason why she won't reveal anything to you, it's still hard to swallow, same goes for her speech if you as her lover opt to take her to fort drakon.

The epilogue saying you hadn't managed to find her yet (I know it said never but one can hope, the epilogue was supposedly narrating the very short term, at least gathered such) and felt regret and sorrow through the ring just left a sting, and due to how the ceremony dialogue and such it felt so... incomplete, unfair even.



I didn't realise how attached I was to the characters, and even, for once, my own, until this chapter ended with him nigh alone, hence why I'm so personally adamant that there must be some chance to come to a... happier resolution in the future, first hand.

I feel pretty pathetic for being spurned so by a game, really, but I can't deny it's proven to be strong, so I'm not sure whether I should curse the writers or give kudos.

The game:  Loghain's comments to Anora after being defeated at the Landsmeet got me choked up, and ensured he'd survive every subsequent playthrough of mine. 

But it was his dialouge with Dog that really pulled at my heartstrings.   As an animal lover, I just wanted to give him hugs and Mabari puppies. 


The books:  Finally getting my hands on The Stolen Throne, reading the first two chapters on my flight to Vegas last week, then leaving it on the plane. 

[Jaulen]

Okay I haven't read the books yet, just got them....



But, first playthrough, The Nature of the Beast with the werewolves saying goodbye got me.....and at the gates, when all your companions are saying goodby.....I cried. Even though I lived, I still cried. I did get the kicked in the guys feeling when Alistair attempted to break up with me (I hardened him).



Next playthrough when I did Ultimate sacrifice I cried at the ending.



And let Loghain live in one playthrough, and talked him out of the killing blow. No way in heck was I going to let him be a hero of any sort. Let him go to the Deep Roads and die by horde.



My most favorite moment in the game is lopping off Loghain's head. I get such enjoyment out of it, I have yet to let Alistair do it.
