These are my 5 world states:

 

1. My canon worldstate, is with my Dalish Elf Rogue, Abélath, and my Male Rogue Hawke. Abélath romanced Morrigan, and went out of his way to find the best outcome for every situation - brokered peace with the Elves and werewolves, sided with Caridin + made Bhelen king, rescued the mages, saved everyone in Redcliffe, etc. He did the Dark Ritual, left Alistair and Anora on the throne, executed Loghain, spared Avernus and the Architect, defended Amaranthine and went through the Eluvian with Morrigan. Hawke romanced Merrill, did all of the best outcome choices, siding with the mages wherever possible and saving as many lives as possible, however he disapproved of Anders' actions and executed him. Bethany became a Circle Mage.

 

2. My first alternative worldstate is with my Human Noble Warrior, Daniel, and my Female Mage Hawke. Daniel did almost everything the same as Abélath, with just some differences - he married Anora instead of Alistair, Alistair becoming a drunk, didn't do the Dark Ritual and sent Loghain to redeem himself by killing the Archdemon. This means that Morrigan is pregnant with his son, a son that doesn't have the soul of an Old God. This is the only way that Ferelden has an heir without the Old God's soul - I want to see if anything happens with that. Hawke believed mages had to accept their fates, as they aren't normal people so they will never be able to live normal lives, just as Grey Warden's and Royalty can't. For that reason she did always found the best outcome, always siding with the templars, disapproving of Anders' actions and executing him. She romanced Sebastian, becoming the first Mage Viscountess of Kirkwall and forming an alliance between Kirkwall and Starkhaven. Carver became a Templar.

 

3. My second one uses my Female Human Noble Rogue and my Female Warrior Hawke. The Warden also did almost everything the same as Abélath - She became Queen with Alistair, and Alistair did the Dark Ritual with Morrigan. This Hawke, like my other two, did her best with every situation. She romanced Sebastian, finding the best outcome to every situation and siding with the mages. Anders' actions were disapproved of and he was executed. Bethany became a Grey Warden.

 

4. My third one uses my Male City Elf Rogue and my Male Mage Hawke. The Warden mostly did the same too - Romanced Leliana instead of Morrigan, didn't do the Dark Ritual, sent Loghain to kill the Archdemon, with Ferelden ruled by Alistair and Anora. Hawke romanced Fenris, again doing the best he can in every situation, siding with the mages. He disapproved of Anders' actions and executed him. Carver became a Grey Warden.

 

5. My last world state uses my Female Human Magi and my second Male Mage Hawke. This is my "Why would you do that?!" world state, and is completely different. :lol: The Warden romanced Zevran, and did the polar opposite to almost everything Abélath did. Alistair rules Ferelden with Anora still, Loghain did the Dark Ritual with Morrigan and so still lives, and she stabbed Morrigan at the Eluvian (SO EVIL - MORRIGAN NOOO </3). Hawke romanced Anders, doing everything he could possibly do wrong, wrongly. He sided with the Mages, approving of Anders' actions and sparing him. Carver became a Grey Warden.

 

Once I have those world states imported into playthroughs, I will be making more. :rofl: I think my fifth one will use a Male Human Magi Warden that romances Morrigan. Still deciding if evil or not. :P Hawke will be a Male, not sure what class and what allegiance yet, that romances Isabela.

 

I can't wait to play Inquisition and see what happens with all of these different world states - my canon Inquisitor is going to be a Male Elven Rogue. :)

Bethany does get taken to the circle anyway. Or are you saying a mage hawke increases the risk before the end of act 1?

OT: Does anyone else not get notifications if your posts are liked or quoted here?

 

Don't know - have you reciprocally tested?

I didn't get a 'quoted post' from you either, so that must be affected by the access restriction.

I was pleased to get a like within the beta section that was notified to me however.

Just set up my Default World state, in which my Warden and Hawke were totally Paragon and did all the 'right things'.  My second one is going to be my douchebag Warden/hawke version.  :D  But I think the world where my Hawke romanced Anders, and fought on the side of the mages will actually be my favourite/canon  one.

Alistair is straight in official canon, and that's what the game is going to respond to. Maybe he hopped the border in your personal headcanon, but Inquisition is not going to respond to that, and in the Keep that's not going to be a valid state for the world the Warden shaped. Same as Morrigan with a female Warden.

 

The story and characters are written a certain way for a reason, and while you're free to headcanon as much as you want in your personal playthrough, game lore will always trump over player lore. The game can't be held accountable for the player deciding to overrule canon rules, or expected to respond appropriately to exploits that were never supposed to happen. 

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa.... please go back and re-read my post. I wasn't complaining about my choices not jiving with what was intended. I totally accept and understand that my playthrough does not coincide with the original plot of Origins and I'm fine with that -- I've read plenty of Mr. Gaider's blog postings regarding Alistair.  I was just making light of some of the unintended side-effects of modding a game, nothing more.   :)

So as I'm creating world states it's pretty obvious which ones are the good choices that lead to your typical good world state, but I'm torn between choices as to which ones lean to a more a**/evil state.

 

To put simply, to kill or to betray.

 

such as killing Connor or leaving him possessed. Executing Alistair or allowing him to become a wandering drunk. Killing the Architect or letting him live

 

When I played as such a character in both games I was always faced with these dilemmas even when roleplaying. Anyone else also have this problem? Which choices do you think is more evil?  Could anyone even make those choices while playing DA and in the keep unsure which to pick if they so desired to make a ruthless world state?

 same for wandering drunk.

 

Oh, absolutely this. I've never done this personally but I've seen the DAII videos where you find Aiistair at the Hanged Man. If you click on him to hear his responses, one comes up "I failed you, Duncan. I'm so sorry."

 

Totally heartbreaking.   :crying:

 

And evil.   :devil:

I was thinking the same answers and I think they provide the most opportunity for DA since they could show up. If they're dead then...well that's no fun to see. :P Anyone who has difficulty playing an evil/bad character yet imports an evil Keep world state, will they just play a good character in the end?

My guess is they'll start playing the evil worldstate, then get uncomfortable when they see the consequences for some of the more evil decisions; and decide not to finish the playthrough.  lol    Drunk Alistair would probably do it for me - I know I wouldn't be able to take seeing him in that state.  There's just no way I'd be able to get through a playthrough filled with the results of decisions I could never bring myself to make.

IMO, a "good" character - that is a "neutral good" character - helps the good and kills the evil. Sure, they redeem the evil if they can, but in terms of demons and darkspawn, their very existence kills others. Darkspawn require the desolation of women from other species, whereas demons feed on the life of the living. So the Architect dies.

 

I have a question about the alchemical concoction in Warden's Keep. While it is technically blood magic, does the use of it on a rogue/warrior cause the Veil to weaken? Avernus states that it is unrelated to demons, which makes it useful, but it's absolutely not worth it if it damages the Veil.

Personally, I'm a little different.  I tend to view choices as being good/evil based on the players reasoning for the choice, rather than the action itself. 

 

So, you could argue that letting Kitty walking away possessing Amalia is evil, because it is allowing a Demon into the world.  However, way I always saw that choice was: the demon's motivation is to experience the world outside of the fade - and to live life the way a mortal would.  Amalia's desire is for a friend, and so Kitty provides that for her.  If the two share a body, then the demon gets what she wants, and Amalia is never alone. 

 

The argument over whether Amalia ceases to be, or if the two of them merge is the next question.  And I think this is where you can decide whether you feel the decision was "evil" or not.  Personally, I see this as being no different from Anders and Justice sharing a body.  Justice even admits in Awakening that there really is no difference between Demons and Spirits, so I would assume if his possessing Anders meant that they merged the same would be true with Kitty/Amalia.  In that case, I see nothing wrong with giving the two of them what they want.

 

Of course, I made this decision while playing a mage who felt the Chantry wrongfully vilifies anyone with magical potential - so he was more inclined to doubt the Chantry's word that all Demons were evil and should not be trusted.

 

 

So...  to answer fierceakuma's post - take your character into consideration.  What was their background like?  That can clue you in to what they feel is right/wrong.  Are they intentionally trying to be evil?  Or do they just have a worldview that conflicts with the rest of society - and they feel they are really doing the right thing?  And if they are evil; what kind of evil are they?  Do they kill whoever is in their way, because they enjoy it?  Is their goal to somehow rule the world?  Cause that might require allies.  Or do they just want to watch the world burn?  If that's the case, I'd recommend making decisions which will cause the most death/destruction and heartache.

 

My personal feeling of what is most evil?  Watch the world burn: keep Connor possessed, let Alistair become a drunk and hate his life, kill the Architect (no chance of peace with Darkspawn means the only way to end the blight is to keep fighting the Darkspawn until they're all dead.  Which means more casualties on our side as well)    :)

Hey everyone! I thought i'd share my first World State!


DAO - A Female Cousland Warrior (duel-wielding swords) that felt guilty about the death of her parents. She met and eventually romanced Alistair. She recruited all possible companions (except Nathanial). Any and all "good" choices she made. She was always looking out for the best interests of others and their well-being before her own. Towards the end, Alistair did the ritual with Morrigan in order to save his love so they could be together. She (Cousland), landed the death blow against the Archdemon, and coming from one of the most powerful families in Ferelden, was able to marry Alistair, becoming Warrior Queen of Ferelden! (I'm a sucker for a Warrior Queen storyline!)

 

 

DA2 - A Female Hawke Rogue named Sarina that got her family out of Ferelden and into Kirkwall. Every choice she made was diplomatic, trying to make peace where she could, and protected the innocent. Sarina protected her family, especially her younger sister from Templars. She recruited everyone she could and eventually romanced Anders; like mother like daughter, bringing more magic into the bloodline. Sarina's sister, Bethany, went with her into the Deep Roads expedition, and was saved by the Grey Wardens. In the end, Sarina forgave Anders for what he had done (was still very angry with him), and sided with the mages in the final battle. The Champion of Kirkwall lead the mages to victory, and stayed with Anders.


This has been an AMAZING experience and I have already created multiple World States! Keep up the AMAZING work guys!

I found this post to be particularly thoughtful, a really good argument in my opinion.

 

And my Asswarden will be following this line of thinking to some extent. Playing as an Aeducan noble outcast who is simply not concerned with commoners and is only focused on furthering their own power (as an Aeducan should) but stopping the Blight as a necessary step.

 

So having sought out support to deal with the Blight, Werewolves are a more powerful faction, kill the Dalish elves. I'll favour the Circle Templars, I'll support Branka (just not that back-stabbing brother Bhelen), commoners need help? Really doesn't care about that. Supports having strong resources, so Loghain lives, Anora rules and Alastair is toast, and so on.

 

For DAI, the appeal of this world state for my first playthrough is to see if there are any interesting consequences that I would otherwise have missed.

Yeah, count me as one of those that prefers to make decisions based on what I think my Warden/Hawke would do rather than blindly adhere to stark a "good or evil" morality. To me this is half the fun of a role playing game as you get to create a character--not just their appearance, but their personality and sense of morality. I also tend to shoot from the hip and make decisions in a way that my characters would depending on what their state of mind might be at a given moment.

 

For example, even (or perhaps especially?) a diplomatic Hawke might not react with a diplomatic response under duress, like when Leandra is killed, or when Bethany or Carver are threatened. Indeed, for my (funny/charming) canon Hawke, threatening her family was her berserk button. It was about the only time she took anything seriously.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I find I loose agency in a game very quickly if I just stick to one kind of response simple because I've decided that this is my "evil" Warden or my "good" Hawke. I find it's much more fun to just play the role and live with the consequences. For example, my canon Warden, who was by and large a compasssionate person decided to kill Connor rather than let a blood mage perform a ritual. She decided it wasn't worth the risk, that there was more at stake than the life of one child and that too many people had died already to let the demon remain within him.

 

In short; "good and evil" are subjective concepts. It depends on the point of view and not everyone makes clear decisions in the heat of the moment.

So...  to answer fierceakuma's post - take your character into consideration.  What was their background like?  That can clue you in to what they feel is right/wrong.  Are they intentionally trying to be evil?  Or do they just have a worldview that conflicts with the rest of society - and they feel they are really doing the right thing?  And if they are evil; what kind of evil are they?  Do they kill whoever is in their way, because they enjoy it?  Is their goal to somehow rule the world?  Cause that might require allies.  Or do they just want to watch the world burn?  If that's the case, I'd recommend making decisions which will cause the most death/destruction and heartache.

 

My personal feeling of what is most evil?  Watch the world burn: keep Connor possessed, let Alistair become a drunk and hate his life, kill the Architect (no chance of peace with Darkspawn means the only way to end the blight is to keep fighting the Darkspawn until they're all dead.  Which means more casualties on our side as well)    :)

 

I do play characters based upon whatever persona I'm roleplaying for them for the most part, it just gets tricky when I can see them doing both 'bad' choices if there are three or more choices. :P  I think it also helps to consider how much knowledge the character has of the situation and not metagame too much. You can picked the possessed Connon choice but you had to agree kill the demon within the fade first to discover making a deal with the desire demon was even an option.

 

Kinda makes you wonder whether some Wardens and Hawkes will end up looking very multi-persona as we create more world states.

I have some problems with the upload of my characters. The Keep doesn't find them all, but when it is fixed my first 5 world states will look like this:

 

World State 1

 

Name: Lyandra Tabris

Origin: City Elf

Romance: Alistair

Class: Warrior (two swords)

Broken Circle: Sided with the Mages

Nature of the Beast: Curred the werewolves

Paragon of Her Kind: Sided with Caridin, Harrowmont on the throne

The Arl of Redcliffe: Conner alive, Isolde alive

Urn of the Sacred Ashes: Urn not poisoned, Dragon not killed

Landsmeet: Anora on the throne

Dark Ritual: Yes

Future: Remanined with Alistair and the Grey Wardens

 

*snip*

 

Why wait?

As the keep does not upload save states you can set those criteria straight into the Keep  :)
