I wouldn't mind if his Calling were incorporated into his romance, but I would be annoyed if they constantly hit you over the head with his impending death.  I do not want that to be Blackwall's defining characteristic, and I do not want that to be the main theme of his romance.

It is an important factor, though- I'd expect it  to be brought up at the beginning of the romance, midway through the romance as a "last way out" offer from Blackwall, and at the end of the Romance arc.

[Phoe77]

That's fine.  I just don't want that to be what every conversation, flirt, and sexy look comes down to.   

 

Though I will say that I would also be very happy if the romance has the possibility of not being tragic at all.  Blackwall has certainly already come to terms with the Calling, and if the Inquisitor can accept and move past the inevitable loss I'd be more than happy to romance him without all the doom and gloom added in.  I don't think that would negatively affect the depth of his character or the romance plot either since it just entails them coming to terms with the problem in a different way.

Avernus has had a lot of time to research the blight, and Fiona always could have come up with something.

I just hope that if he is a romance, that we don't have a repeat of Thane and have him die in-game. Wasn't it suggested in the books that there could be a way to avoid the calling thing?

We have some idea of how to stop the calling. But, to get the charm from the Architect is still uneven as to it working. The charm was suppose to speed the taint, but because it was ever (to my knowledge) test on a warden it ended up reversing it. But, there is still a factor to the charms that Fiona could have never found. the Architect has a natural aura that can speed the taint. So to stop the taint it look like you will need three things (1) to be a grey warden (2) the Architect's charm (3) and exposure to the Architect's aura.

Don't ask me why, but as i finished legacy, all i could think was "wow, larius looks like a skinny and blighty Blackwall" and im really hoping that they are related so the fact that he can meet Corypheus using Larius as a meatsuit and i get to watch the angst ensue >

I thought that was wrong

the architect's charm accelerated the taint, thats why it was given to the group by the circle, and it did speed the taint on the wardens.  the only one it didnt speed it on was duncan cause he stole the dagger.  everyone else was accelerated to the point of transformation.  Fiona was cured of her taint thanks to the hunger demon possessing her, then getting unpossessed.  it had nothing to do with the charms

 

maybe im just lumping it in there with asunder, really should go back and read it

[Joe25]

So a hunger demon can cure the taint. Well it was mans gluttony for power that caused the taint to be born in the first place. So remove gluttony removed the taint. Thank you, I stand corrected.

fixed my post, after trying to find it on the wiki, it doesnt give a real explanation for it, i would have to go back and reread it to get a definite answer

The the only other theory I can think of has to with Maric's dragon blood. When, Fiona was pregnant with his child the dragon in the unborn child sent her an antibody. This antibody killed her taint to keep it from spreading to the unborn child. If Alistair is Fiona's child it would sense. Because most children born of a warden die as children or teens. And when, We meet Alistair he is in his late twenties making him to old to have had the taint as a child.

[Wolfen09]

ok, went back and reread the epilogue

they never confirmed what caused it, the text states that the mages at weisshaupt werent sure what caused it, and that they kept the broaches for research in case that they were the cause

Could it be related to how the OGB can save a Warden?

Where are you getting this? Because it's been confirmed by Gaider that the taint doesn't transfer to the children of Grey Wardens (edit: in case the plural is confusing: I mean children of any one Warden, not children whose both parents are Wardens). Can't find the original post anymore, but here's a Wiki discussion that references it: http://dragonage.wik...ren_of_a_Warden

[Deviija]

Tis true, and has been talked about by Gaider.  The children of a Warden do not have the taint.  Two Wardens, however, cannot have children together.  

[Wolfen09]

i thought they could, its just very hard to conceive

[fiveforchaos]

Here's a quick question, while everyone's talking about curing Blackwall of the taint, would Blackwall even take that option if it were available to him? The Taint might be what kills Grey Wardens, but it's also what gives them their powers, and allows them to help people. Blackwall's all about self-sacrifice for the greater good, why would he give up a power that allows him to help people more effectively (and kill an archdemon should one arise) just for the sake of adding a few more years to his life?

Word of Gaider: "A Grey Warden can have a child... just not with another Grey Warden."

Did Fiona lose her Darkspawn detection when she was cleared of her taint acne?

That's just what they tell each other as an excuse for all the late night "sparring."

[Exaltation]

So....who's gonna "Grey his Warden"?

I don't know, but what do I need for the "Joining?"

[Former_Fiend]

Did Fiona lose her Darkspawn detection when she was cleared of her taint acne?

 

That's...actually a good question.

 

Might explain why she left the wardens; if she couldn't detect them and didn't have the immunity from the taint anymore, she was of no use to them.

[Milan92]

Probably not. She is too special for that.
