Having kids as NPC family would be kinda cool. Less so to have a child follower. I mean, there was Wild Flower in Jade Empire, but her circumstances would likely be considerably darker and more disturbing in a Thedas setting.

Technically, wouldn't she just have been an abomination with two passengers?

Yes.  Plus the little detail that she was the reanimated corpse of a dead child.  

She'd be more like Kristoff in Awakening.  With an extra demon passanger;)

Case in point, OP. ^^^^^ 

What? Someone has a different opinion to you. That does not make it "hating".

I would really like this to be an element in-game. Alistair and his queen have been married for 10-20 years now, depending on the time in which DA:I takes place. Even if his wife was the warden, there is still a small chance.

I know this would never happen but it could work if the main character started out pregnant or his wife pregnant or whatever. Even if not, I'd like to see some form of family in DA:I. I loved the whole thing with Cousland's family and Hawke's mother & sister, it really made you see them more as people.

The developers have said that two Wardens can't conceive a child together. This is also pointed out by Alistair if he marries the Cousland Warden as the new King.

I suppose if it is an optional feature, and the game included some sort of residence like the Hawke Estate, and perhaps have a short time skip as part of the MQ, for about, six months when you are, let's say, in captivity and give birth (or the partner gives birth) during that time skip and a decision to have kids has to be done before that point. If the other parent is a non companion LI NPC, they stay at home with the child, if they are a companion, let's say they hire a mage governess from Fereldan, who one can have an affair with.

In regards to the Alistair/Warden situation, didn't they say it was incredibly difficult, almost impossible, but not fully? One has to remember, there would've been few (if any) case studies, since that there weren't as many female wardens as male wardens and that they had a shorter lifespan with no free time.

[Albertiko101]

I think I heard in Origins that because of the taint the wardens find hard to have children and even more if the other lover is a warden too but not impossible.

[Mr.House]

Please no.

[Milan92]

No, thank you.

ohh i dare you people why you making things difficult when they are not:D

the answear is simple....time jumps

like what we have in DA 2(even in DAO our warden started gathered an army for not less than 1 year(accoridng to Mage Warden dialoge with Wynne when he have mages help) and no problems for female(pregnancy and childborn) and male(for his romance pregnancy and childborn) protag if you WANT you own child(or you can adopt some...but i am for own child because my mage protag is not sterile:D).

...i am not understand peoples who behave as if someone would force them to have child if they not want this:D you are not Qunari and Tammassarants does not control your life:D if you want to live 40 years with mommy and not have a wife and childrens like Hawke so be it:D

i am sure that we would have those time jumps in DA 3 what would related with some history/events so why not use them......if our protag would want childrens he/she would have choice to do with his/her romance option and would have pregnance and child born in those missing years(in DA 2 we have some for 3 years and this is a very big time)

Yes please, it sounds interesting if done correctly. Even if they are adornments in our castle.

Wow. 

Never mind over half the posts, including mine, that said that having the protag be a parent could be an optional background selected at the very start of the game.

Let's just make mountains out of molehills!

It's a video game.

Chill. Out.

Wait.

So.. you sugest something. People tell you no. You tell them they're dumb and unimaginative. They tell you why they feel that way.

and now they need to chill out?



You confuse me sweetie. Did you want a discussion about the option to have our protags have children (at the start or otherwise)? Or did you just want folks to agree with you?

I'm sure Alistair said in the near-end of the game that there was a very slim chance unless this was a flaw or something. Even if this is a flaw, Gaider said that it is impossible for two grey wardens to have children but that magic could enable them to do so, both for Bioware's future possibilites and for fans involved with fanfiction and roleplaying.

I think kids can work great as motivations. When I played Dwarf Noble in DA:O, having a kid made Orzammar more interesting; in addition to getting an army to fight the war, I was also focused on getting my son accepted as a noble. When I played Witch Hunt with a Dark Ritual import, the fact that the OGB was my son made finding Morrigan more important. Imagine how much more interesting DA2 would have been if by Act 3 Hawke had a 3 year old child that had manifested magic.


That said, integrating kids is a challenge. With the Dwarf Noble I wished the kid had been brought up again, but instead nothing is ever heard about it. I know that David Gaider has said in the past that they don't want to repeat BG2, where one of the romances culminated in a child...which was an inventory item (worse, one with no use).


In the unlikely event that children are included, I don't want a repeat of Carver/Bethany, where the kids are conveniently shipped off to somewhere out of the way where they can't impact the plot.

[Zeldrik1389]

I think not actual kids but the idea of a normal, peaceful life, building family and raising children with your LI after the fight is over would be great. One thing that I like about Shepard - Liara relationship in ME was that they always show their desire to build a family together (with a lot of little blue children) after everything's over. I think it would be nice if they put sth like that in DA:I.

[garrusfan1]

maybe have them saying to an LI what do you think of having a kid when this is over and then seeing it in an epilouge

[Todd23]

Biological children pose a problem for female players. If it's you and your li that sounds ideal, but males can simply not bring their pregnant companion along. Females? They almost have to have time jumps on the game if they wish to do this.
