The Wardens in the Anderfels rule there and sit on the throne.  If you put Alistair on the throne then that makes two Warden Kings in Thedas.  Riordan mentions this if you speak with him in Arl Eamon's city estate. Amaranthine was an experiment for the Wardens and the First Warden does claim in the epilogue slides that your Arling is a success even if you burn Amaranthine, which at the time I thought was very interesting.  Yeah, I'd agree, seems to be a split of some kind.

The Wardens are the de facto rulers of the Anderfels, but not the titular ones. There is a king, but he's so taken up in his own affairs that the people look to the Wardens for leadership. (source: DA wiki)

It's not really something I intend to do. I just get into the game and forget to make a new file.

 

Also, Blackwall is a very, very attractive guy. But has anyone else thought he'd be even sexier with an Aragorn like hairstyle ?

 

You mean all raggedy-greasy and in his face?

He is sort of ragged...but god he's sexy.

 

Sorry, sorry. I'll stop fanboying over Viggo Mortenson now.  :P

I am sorry if this has been answered previously, but does anyone know where Blackwall is from?
Considering his voice actor sounds British, I am guessing he is Fereldan. Would really like to know if I am wrong though as I like the idea of him being from the Anderfels.

 

This accent seems pretty common in Thedas- Tevinter, Rivain, Free Marches, Fereldan, and Anderfels(limited sample) seem to have it from what we've heard so far.

He is really sexy, but I can't really imagine this as a default look for Blackwall. I do imagine Blackwall with less of a perfectly slicked hairdo after a hard battle though (or hard sex ;)), so at such a time breathing hard with hair sexily tousled like this would be pretty nice (and my female quizzie would be suitably distracted, no doubt). :)

 

Great, now I have that image in my head~ :blush: <3

I wonder if John Epler has it in his head... :D Poor man.

 

So much talk about crafting and importance of good gear for your party lately. :)

Forgive me climbers, for I have sinned.

 

I have turned to the dark side and am now I Solassian. He's also probably gonna be my first playthrough romance now...

 

Forgive me.....

 

 

On a serious note, that art above is lovely. Her art never fails to make me chuckle.  :P

@ Ceoldoren - nothing to forgive.  This thread is for all his fans, not just the ones planning to romance on the first playthrough.  I think most here frequent threads for more than one character.  Blackwall interests me most, but I definitely am going to roll a female Dalish with Solas on her mind as well.

 

OT - I wonder if the reason Blackwall left the wardens has to do with the red lyrium in Kirkwall's deep roads, or whether they're under the influence of an awakened darkspawn (ancient magister?) like the Architect or Corypheus (or even an Old God.)  Anders' maps were obtained right after the blight, and might have been much older, and Nathaniel (who favored releasing the Architect once he heard what he had intended) was in the deep roads with explosives for excavation.  I tend to think they were trying to feed warden blood to an Old God, since explosives wouldn't be safe to use around a lot of lyrium.  Dworkin's cousin would have known that since lyrium is one of the main ingredients, using explosives near a lyrium seam wouldn't be wise, but if he was as mad as Dworkin, that might not matter..  There is at least one town in Pennsylvania that is uninhabitable because fire spread to a coal seam under the town and most coal mines are lost to either explosion & fire or flooding.

Yeah I know, just having a bit of fun.  :D

 

On your second question, I believe I know the answer thanks to spoilers. (Not really, I kind of regret it, but it won't effect my enjoyment of the game)

 

Suffice to say, he has a pretty good reason for leaving. Assuming I'm correct in the first place.

It's okay, I'm going to romance them all, and I still haven't figured out which one will be first, yet.

@ Ceoldoren - I won't ask you to share your spoilers, but I'll ask for a hint.  Was I close on either of them?  PM me or put it under a spoiler tag if you want to answer, please.  We don't want to ruin anyone's fun.

Blackwall has to be my number one playthough, no compromise there, but I do plan to romance Solas down the track too, after Iron Bull.. and Dorian.. and possibly Cullen.. hmm no, before Cullen. God.. so much CHOICE <3

 

First I wasn't too keen on Solas because he reminded me of Phil Collins in that CG shot of him in the black robes.. I kept humming 'In the air tonight' (Cabury Gorilla ad) everytime I saw it.. haha.. but thank god that has changed with recent previews cos I really don't want to romance Phil Collins. ;)

Ceoldoren - You know something... argh ... I want to know yet even more I want not to know and find out at the actual game. Not fair.

Blackwall will be my second well at least the second as I'm gonna go to first play through with nothing decided attitude as I have only little idea of whats happening and what the characters are like, but it might come first Blackwall second... wait a minute should I check other romances too? nah second Blackwall

If you really want to know I will pm you. But I absolutely do not recommend it if plot details are important to you. This is a pretty major spoiler.

I wish I could say PM me but I rather come across them in the game itself unspoiled. Even though knowing the info is out there and wishing I could just get to it is torture

 

Even when I peek at the books ending to see how everything went I rather see the details how things get to how they get by reading through the book

I've narrowed it down to Blackwall or Josephine for first playthrough. I'll let them make their case in game.

Precisely. I'm interested in Cassandra and Blackwall so far, (and probably first run will be Cass, because I can't wait to play as a big badass qunari guy :D), but that doesn't mean all other options will be neglected. We are not football teams' fans. I hope... (looks ant ME3 Romance Forum :unsure:).

It could be a combination of both. Red lyrium is a major player in the Inquisition, and everything bad in the world happens because of Hawke. It is known.

I may change my mind mid game. But I'm gonna be a Female Elf, that way I have the most possible options.

 

That and it'll be nice to finally finish a game as a Dalish. The only orgins I never finished a playthrough with.

I'm pretty sure I know why Blackwall left the Wardens. Suffice to say he has a permanent spot in my party on first playthrough.

My first run through looks like I will romance Blackwall, which is a great departure for me since I tend to like playing male characters romancing other male characters.  This is testament to how much I like Blackwall's character already.  I'm really most excited about him.  I think eventually I will romance Dorian to stay true to form but he's not really drawing me at the mo.  I'm sure I'll do a Cullen romance too.  Solas would have to win me over personality-wise (playing 2 females is really a stretch for me so this would be a 3rd time).
