we had an option to be king or queen of ferelden, why couldn't our noble dwarf do so for orzammar....  never really played a dwarf, but that would have made me play one....  i choose behlen now, even though i dont like him, because he moves orzammar forward.

 

They really needed an option for Dwarf Noble in the Crowning Scene to Crown yourself.

 

I mean, ITS PERFECT.

and obvious too!

 

 

Rylock should not attack the warden, its stupid, the wardens hold the right of conscription and any chantry law must bend to that.

 

I headcanon the Templars have never been all that keen on Warden Mages to begin with and that one of the dead Templars was Rylock's lover.

- The Landsmeet actually being decided by the voting and not a damn duel.... why do I have to settle this in a duel when I already won (or lost)?

 

 

 

I agree with this.

 

As much as I like the landsmeet, I think it would have played out better if the duel only occurred if the landsmeet was deadlocked and neither side came out with a clear majority. The duel would serve as a tiebreaker. Winning the landsmeet should have just resulted in deciding Loghain's fate without the duel. Losing it would go the whole coup route where you have to fight Loghain and a lot of allies.

Dragon Age: Origins

 

The ability for a Dwarf Warden to crown themselves King/Queen of Orzammar. No good reason is given for you not being able to do this, so it looks really out of place to me.

 

 

Dragon Age II

 

Keeping both Bethany and Carver throughout Act 1, until the Deep Roads expedition. The sibling you don't take will still join the Circle/Templars, and the sibling you bring can still be made a Grey Warden if Anders is there. This also allows the option of letting Bethany and Carver die from the taint in the Deep Roads if they are in the party instead of leaving a slot for Anders. Finally, you'll be able to have both in your party for the endgame(depending on choices) and the DLC.

 

In Act 1: once you complete Long Way Home, get Anders' map of the Deep Roads, and 50 sovereigns, you should be able to leave for the Deep Roads expedition without needing to do any other main quests. There is no reason to lock the player in the first act like this besides forcing them to complete all the unnecessary main quests.

 

Mark of the Assassin: Killing Tallis and taking the real Heart of the Many back with you should be available.

I wish there had been an option in DAII to go a little nuts when the Templars come to take Bethany away. Walk into my home after months of slaying rockwraths and darkspawn, and you think two random podunks and some pretty-boy knight-captain are going to take my sister away to be a prisoner? Hell no, son. It's time to throw down.

 

For the story, they have to take her, of course, but I like to imagine that it's only because Leandra and Bethany physically restrain Hawke that any Templar walks out of that house with his head still attached. So yeah- that would have been cool to see.

 

 

This all the way, actually... i think they should of let you go nuts, maybe have a cutscene fight with the templars causing Bethany to get caught in the crossfire. So she dies there... like she can do anyway, so it wouldn't be too much work. It would be tragic, but that is kind of how things go in Hawkeland

The most annoying part is, IIRC, if Loghain gets a majority vote, he just attempts to arrest you on the spot and you have to fight him and his mooks. No duel or anything.

 

But...if you get a majority vote, you get the duel.

 

Hmph.

Conscript blood mage Jowan in Grey Wardens(as Gaider said it was in plans but they do not do this)

 

 

Execute all lefted Templars in Ferelden Tower....actually i want to kill Wynne so Uldred does not become deamon and make a rebellion(damn if we would know that Wynne was a reason why Uldred with help of Loghain failed to free circle because she is told all for Templars....i wish that we after Ostagar can meet her wounded going to circle to tell all for Templars and we after knowing this would have option to kill her or convince her to not tell or go away)

 

Execute Anora with Logain

 

Support and make Connor(after he would study in Tevinter and grow up) as the next heir of Ferelden throne when we make Alistair as king

 

DAA

 

have Vellana and Sigrun as romance options for males and DAA Anders with Nathaniel or someone else(why not Oghren) for females

 

Da2

 

Option to choose Hawke race,,at least choose to be elf

 

Choose who we would save...Carver or Bethany

 

Have option to romance Avelin and marry her(and other romances because this does not make sense when you for more than 10 years do not marry with someone when you romance and live with her)

 

Send Leandra Hawke to live far away from Kirkwal and our house(wanted to have bigger mancion)...if we would send her when we are poor and do not give her more money so maybe she can die in her journey and we would know about this after some years

 

Kill Gamlen and his daughter who sided with bandits

 

Do not kill Hadrianna and send Fenris with her or if we would just not kill her so if we after would meet Danarius and send Fenris with him we can have some talks with Magister and aprentice Varania

 

Execute Cullen or other Templars who would go after Bethany so she is became apostage-rebellion mage or go with grey wardens

 

Convince Sairabas Cetojan to not kill himself and fight with Qunari,

 

Execute Petrice by ourself or help her to kill more Qunari

 

Beat all Qun **** from son of Dumar head and make him understand that Qunari are enemies and he must fight them..and oppose Meredith who take controll over HIS city 

 

Kill Grace with her husband(actually i would prefer to help him form the rebellion with Thrask not fight) so rebellion mages with Trask wiould live and fight with Meredith

 

Not kill and help blood mages Idunna and Taronne fight with Templars and be in rebellion mages

 

Not kill Quentin, prevent Leandra Hawke death(damn we can do this by simply said to her " do not go in night, its medieval time stupid hag") by send her from from city...so Quentin would live and help rebellion

 

Execute Elthina by ourselfs and if we would not so Anders would did that by himself..if we do not execute Lelianna in Dao execute her in DA2

 

Execute Sebastian(actually i would support Harrimans to be new Starheven rulers)

 

In the final battle kill more Templars and save more Circle mages what would be depend on what we do and for who we help..sp if we always save and side with mages and other rebellions so final battle would be different from if we side with Meredith and Cullen...so we could crush Templars and many Circle mages would leave city or hide when nobles would deal with Templars who goes to far with Meredith..so Kirkwall nobles can banish Orlais Chantry Templars like Ferelden do after 5 blight

 

Execute Cullen with Meredith

 

Execute Tallis and give Qunari info for Tevinter like we did with Isabella and Tome of Coslun

 

Poison(secretly kill) or execute Prosper Son

An option to visit Bethany in the Gallows! Dear old Ma visits, Isabela gives her naughty books, but Hawke can't find the time? Even if you headcanon it, in Act 2/3, they act like they haven't spoken in years.

 

A kind option for rejecting Anders' romantic advances, rather than 'get away from me' or whatever it was.

 

The option to Wangst a little after Tamlen returns as a shriek. Seriously guys, the Warden listens to you and sorts through your emotional issues, but all s/he gets in return is a measly 'he's better off dead than as a shriek' line from Alistair.

 

Dragon Age Origins

-Not cutting Loghains head off in front of his daughter if you execute him? Or imprisonment as a third alternative? I mean my Warden didn't want him dead but she wasn't sure if he'd make a good warden. But then maybe it's death or conscription because that's how Ferelden law works for what Loghain was convicted of blah I don't know.

Oh, especially this one! It is in such poor taste that the only option to kill him is by splattering his daughter with his blood. Surely Ferelden has some proper protocol for execution, instead of just butchering people in the middle of the Landsmeet. Imprisoning him would also be good.

 

I also would've liked to round up some knights or something to voluntarily try the Joining, rather than just Loghain. I get why there need to be so few from the story perspective (with the sacrifice and ritual and all that), but it doesn't make a lot of sense from the Warden's PoV.

Dragon Age: Origins

- I wish I had the option to convince Branka how wrong she is to sacrifice her entire house without destroying the Anvil of the Void, because I'd think Orzammar could use it and it'll be better if the Anvil are in the hand of someone more sane.

 

- I wish I had the option to convince Ser Landry to stand down after defeat him.

 

- I wish I had the option to save Ser Otto.

 

- I wish there were option to make Isolde feels guilty after the incident in Redcliffe is over. I personally think while allowing Isolde to sacrifice herself to save Connor is a redemption to atone from her mistake, it's also a cowardly escape from the trouble. Dozens and maybe even hundreds of people died because of her decisions. I know I can give everyone a happy ending but I don't like Isolde's apathetic attitude towards the loss of people in Redcliffe. There should be an option to convince her to see how wrong she was, and that she should make it up the people of Redcliffe.

 

- I wish I had the option to persuade Brother Genitivi to keep the location of the ashes as secret without killing him.

 

- I wish I had the option to beat the hell out of Howe as Human Noble Warden, Howe gets to get off that easy in vanilla game.

 

-I wish I had the option to talk Alistair out of leaving the party if Loghain is allowed to live, and I also wish there are option to yell ot curse him...seriously the Warden is too nice especially if on the entire journey you treat Alistair with grace, and always nice to him but decide to spare Loghain because you thought he'll be useful. I seriously consider Alistair's desertion as a betrayal since you don't owe anything to him, and he abandon everything and everyone to face the Archdemon.

 

Dragon Age: II

- I wish I had the option to kill Sister Petrice myself.

- I wish I had the option to Save Ser Thrask.

 

- I wish I had the option to confront Orsino after learning that he associate with serial killer.

 

- I wish I had the option to convince Orsino to calm down instead of went apeshit and turned into Harvestino for no reason because BioWare needs extra boss fight, even when the player side with the Mages.

 

- I wish I had the option to not help Tallis or even try to stop her from getting that list.

 

- I wish that Fool's Gold quest available to the player who manage to save Nathaniel in Dragon Age: Awakening, and I wish they didn't cut Merin joining the Grey Warden from the final version of the game.

Its probably best there was no option to kill the Templars taking Bethany. Hawke is strong but he/she couldn't take on the entire Order in Kirkwall.

 

Well there were only two templars with Cullen. Plus I am sure Hawke and his siblings would have trained for a situation just like that, with the mabara I would add. So yes, I would liked to have a option to kill them and run. Hawke spent his whole life protecting his sister and now at the moment of truth he just chickens out? Not a change.

In order for this option to really work, the game has to be much more open world and Hawke has to be able to up and leave and settle someplace else. Things like the Templar and mage conflict, the qunari occupation and such would have to become optional quests and the rest of the world has to be able to offer something else, since in killing Knight-Captain Cullen and his entourage would derail the plot of the game. Of course, this also denies the companions of Kirkwall, since they are not going to come with you. That's not to say that I have a problem with this kind of design, but I can't see BioWare creating a lot of workable substitute characters to permit this level of freedom.

True, but to add even more to the idea we have to remember that Hawke has spent a year with either smugglers or merceneries and one of his best friends is Varric with lots of shady connections. So yep, there should have been tons of escape routes and safehouses, pre-planned situations when ever there would have been need for it. So it makes the submission even more stupid.

I very much agree with these, especially the one about Sebastian. I rarely get the itch to murderknife someone, but right after threatening me and several others to my face I was disappointed we could kill Anders for blowing up a building but not him for threatening an entire army on us.

 

True, especially if you talked with Sebastian about  should he become prince or member of the chantry and he choosed  latter.

When Riordan suggests Loghain take the Joining because they need the numbers you can counteroffer that your companions be given the choice. He pulls rank and recruits Loghain anyway if Alistair is made king. King Alistair is always removed from the group. 

 

Loghain is imprisoned if the Warden didn't gather enough support. 

 

No third option for Redcliffe you either kill Connor or use blood magic .

 

A cut scene of Morrigan considering going into Alistair/Loghain's room if the Warden refuses the ritual. 

 

DAOA 

 

If you're the queen/king consort the game acknowledges it more often especially during the nobles are trying to kill you quests. 

 

DA2

 

Turning Anders in to Cullen is successful but he escapes and blows up the Chantry anyway. 

 

Instead of fighting the Dalish you can step back and let them take Merrill.

 

Sheparding Wolves isn't mandatory. 

 

If you do Emric's quest in Act 1, allow Gascard to live and cover for him with the templar you can save Leandra. Later however there's a dialogue quest with Fenris, he acknowledges your reasons but it reinforces his belief that mages will always turn to blood magic when they perceive the need to be great enough and it kills the romance path.   

 

Taking Orana on as a slave also kills the romance. 

 

Anders and Merrill don't forget your actions just because they like your or because they don't.

-I wish there were an option other than murder to stop Brother Genitivi from spilling the beans about Andraste’s ashes.  Either a very difficult persuasion test or even extorting him or holding him hostage.  As it is, in my games where he lived, I expect I’ll see the ashes depleted to cure everything from impotence to athlete’s foot by the time Inquisition rolls around.


persuasion check for genitivi, sharing location of ashes wasnt a good idea, but i did it because i didnt want to kill him for its secrecy.


- I wish I had the option to persuade Brother Genitivi to keep the location of the ashes as secret without killing him.

 

 

To all the people saying you wish you could have hidden the location of the sacred ashes without killing Genitivi, you just have to convince him to leave Haven without guiding you to the temple.

 

I could be wrong if he comes back at the end or something. I haven't played that far after making him leave.

I'm surprised at how unpopular Sebastian is.

He's one of my favorite characters.

And I understand his reaction completely.

 

Even if I don't think he'd do it.

Still, why we don't have an option to kill him is beyond me. We can kill (or do something really horrible) all of the companions, but not him, even when Anders is spared? Makes no sense.

At some point I think they wanted to make Starkhaven DLC. Or at least I read that somewhere. And you can't do something really horrible to Varric, can you?

Origins:

Have an option to call Loghain out about the danger being the blight, not Orlais, and being able to reveal all his crimes. Soris wasn't happy with my city elf when I could only do the former.

 

Ask Riordan to go into more details as to why he suggested putting Loghain through the joining, maybe Alistair would have stayed if he knew that a sacrifice had to be made, maybe.

 

Save Ser Otto, I don't know how, but I wish he could have been saved.

 

DAII:

Save Ser Thrask, he was so reasonable and decent.

 

Hang out with Charade after reuniting her with Gamlen.

 

Tell Gamlen to throw that cheese out already.

I wish we had the choice to turn Anders in.  Go here, this is a mentally unstable possessed mage, take him!!  Seriously, I understand why Hawke might have been given a free pass, but why was Anders left to run free?  They take Bethany, but oh never mind the crazy mage constantly making threats, it

always confused me.  I wish with one of our trips to the Galllows we could have pulled a fast one on him, even if he does his escapes like he did all the time in his old circle, it would have made more sense.

 

An option to stop Orsino from using blood magic and becoming that abomination, I mean we were winning...why would he throw that away?

 

For DA:O, I wish there was something we could have done about Alistair to convince him not to leave the party if Loghain is kept to become a Warden.  Even if it is talking to him after the Landsmeet, I just wish there was an option to shake some sense into him and say there is an Archdemon about to kill us all, look at the bigger picture and man up.

 

Lastly, I want to save Jowan.  :(

Bethany was nobody. Anders, however, helped people, he was known even amongst the nobles. Later, he had friends from that "mage resistance", Varric and Hawke as a Champion. 

And Bethany was scared, spineless - she wanted it. She more or less went willingly. 

 

I'm not saying it's not ridiculous, but that doesn't bother me much.

Ditto on the Alistair - Loghain Landsmeet moment. That point really soured Alistair for me. We've done so much together and you just up and leave and I can't even explain to you how I want to use him as meat shield in the big upcoming battle? Come onnnnnn.

 

Wish I could've recruited Jowan. He seemed useful and he stuck around when he could've run. That's pretty damn noble.

 

The choice to romance anyone in Awakening. xD
