LOL I think that would have happened in my son's playthrough, too... except that he skipped Sten and Leliana altogether! LOL I had to make him roll back his save and do Lothering again. He's seven, so he pretty much prefers running around and killing things over all the chitty chat chat. I also had to walk him through Alistair's disapproval of him killing Connor in order to maintain his friendships. At least I finally taught him the 'save before you talk to anyone at camp' metagaming technique for max approval.
How old is yours?
They've always called them followers, though, in all three games. I think BW's plan for these particular followers was just different this time around.
Oh good my son is 6, he'll be 7 pretty soon though in May...I just didn't want to out myself letting my son play Bioware games if yours was a teenager or something haha. I'm glad we are on the same page here though...I figure as long as he doesn't romance anybody there isn't anything TOO age-inappropriate lol.
He skipped Leliana, but when he was leaving Lothering he saw Sten and I told him he could free him lol. I wish he'd have asked me a little more for help but the damage was already done so all I could do was sit and pout about Alistair, heh. Mine also prefers the running around and killing aspect over the talking, but I like that he has to read the options, good practice! I need to remind him about saving...sometimes he will turn off the game forgetting to save too, he doesn't seem to mind but it's painful to me haha. But alas, he hasn't played for a while so I haven't been able to teach him about that...I'll have to remind him about it xD I haven't been playing DAO much lately and I think he just gets inspired to play when he sees me play it~
As for the Followers thing, I didn't know that about the other games...I'm a relative Bioware newbie (got into Mass Effect last summer...June/July and DAI in November...DAO just a couple months ago) so I wasn't around for all the promo stuff about the older games. In fact the first time I heard of the DAI crew as "Followers" was in December when I went to Gaider's DA panel at GaymerX and heard him use the term. Before that I wasn't sure what to call them (such as squadmates when referring to the similar cast of characters in ME).
