This is where we can discuss how we can play Dragon Age Origins best from a Lucrosion standpoint.
Would a Lucrosion save the Anvil of the Void for its utility? Would we get along with Alistair? Would we have a problem with sacrificing Isolde to save Connor or would we go to the Circle?
This is where we can take some of the big decisions in the game and discuss the various ways a lucrosion mindset would handle them.
Oh, fun topic. I'll respond to this when I get time tomorrow!
Sweet! I hope I'll have enough time off work to engage in a conversation with you about it while we're on at the same time.
Now, probably one of the most controversial decisions I think can be made, is also one of the most advantageous when it comes to limiting supply lines.
Siding with the werewolves.
Werewolves are naturally strong and fast. They don't need long supply lines. They don't even need supply lines. They can grow their numbers really fast, and their natural ferocity makes them nearly as dangerous and scary as the darkspawn.
The only real disadvantage is trying to help them overcome their bestial nature.
On a side note, I've never actually sided with them, but this is a reason why a Lucrosion might.
I've never sided with the werewolves - they're too unpredictable. The lady of the forest can't control them after a while, I think. Siding with them comes down to personality IMO. Lucrosians will be different in personality and philosophy like democrats could be. I always choose to lift the curse, but I'm sure you could justify siding with the werewolves for all the reasons you mentioned as a Lucrosian. I don't think a Lucrosian has to be all about logisitics all the time, a human, situational approach is best to me because the whole point of the Lucrosian mindset for me or my characters is to make things better for people. With money, yes, but it isn't about money vs. everything else.

I always have a hard time with the Anvil because I see how it could/will be used nefariously, but at the same time, do you destroy tech that can be used for good? Though I don't know what he did, I think Ieldra would always save it, he has a you don't destroy tech because it could be used for bad approach, but, I mean, when the creator of the Anvil is begging me to destroy it, doesn't he know best? He's seen this movie before, he knows how it ends. And do I trust Bhelen or Harrowmont or Branka enough to just hand it to them and hope for the best? No. I could see saving it, very justifiable, but I don't know. The golem process seems horrific. So, I don't know.
Yes, get along with Alistair. Camilla would. He's funny, a loyal friend, and he's going to be King (with Anora in my game because I perfer the title and riches boon to being chancellor. I mean, my Warden isn't suited to advsing a king and he couldn't focus on the the things he'd want to do if he has to help run a nation. And Anora knows what she's doing, she always will and the Warden is never guarenteed to know and certainly does not have her knowledge. But yes, I'd be friends with Alistair.
I always sacrifice Isolde because it doesn't make a lot of sense to go to the circle. The demon could attack again and I don't want to risk the town to save one kid. The ritual itself creeps me out though. Saving the Arl's wife will help you get in good with him, yes, and that has its own benefits, but I just don't agree with leaving.
Nice.
I never sided with the werewolves either, but I was trying to think of a reason why a Lucrosion might, and yes, I agree that lucrosions would not be all about money and logistics as the stereotype would suggest. Sten says it well, people are not simple, they cannot be described like 'the elves are lithe, pointy-eared people who excel at poverty.'
Neither do lucrosions fall under a single stereotype. I mean, one lucrosion may actually be one of the more empathetic of the fraternities because a good businessman/woman is all about making connections, not just in contacts but also building a rapport with regulars. And a mages regulars would be the exact same people they meet everyday while another may be a greedy sleazeball and a con-artist.
And good answers on those reasons. As for the anvil, about half of my wardens destroy it and the other half save it. I have never played a dwarf that destroyed it though as they live in Orzammar, and know full well that without them they will inevitably lose and Orzammar will fall. But I don't trust any of the people mentioned, Bhelen, Harrowmont, or Branka personally with that kind of power to create them.
On a purely logistics base, you take one life, and you don't lose it, you simply encase them in steel and stone, thus making it far more difficult to lose that life in the war with the darkspawn.
And yeah, I also don't agree with leaving. I mean, that Desire Demon in Connor was pretty much working for a week or so if you go to Redcliff first to build an army of undead. Leaving for a few days to get mages and hope they agree to spare some lyrium and mages to do the ritual at all is too great a risk. It's a shame that Bioware let that go. It could have been implemented so well that with the forces in teh castle so reduced, that Teagan and returning knights were able to hold off the demon, but in the final battle you would only have a token force left.

You guys sound like a bunch of Aequitarians. LOL. A Lucrosian would definitely keep the Anvil. The werewolves are a little sketchy. It is better business to benefit off of trade with the Dalish. They're renowned for their craftsmanship. Bhelen would be the obvious choice as far the Dwarven Crown goes. Anora ruling with or without Alistair. Through her prior experience as a statesman she has a better chance of stimulating Ferelden's economy. Less chaotic as well since you wouldn't be changing regimes. The Ashes would be kept and news would be spread. Pilgrimages from all over Thedas would economically benefit the nation and thus the Circle.
I'll think of more later.
lol, trust us, we're lucrosions. You should read Lil Yonce's Lucrosion proposal.
