Not now. I already have dozens of playthrough but maybe one month before, after the release of the keep

[M i l k y]

*sigh* I wish I could replay. However, my PC decided it just isn't gonna happen until I replace some hardware. I pre-ordered Inq on my console and I'm VERY thankful I'll be able to set up my "perfect" save using the Keep.

[PhroXenGold]

Yep, doing a full playthrough and I'm part-way through DA2 at the present.

 

Did DA:O as a pure "ruthless" character. One who would do what needed to be done to stop the blight, all else be damned. I was intending this to be the background for my second playthrough of DA:I, with a relatively "good" playthrough of Origins for my first, but I found myself so immersed in my Cousland girl that I think I'll be recreating this one in the Keep for my first Inquisition run. Her family were "good" people. They died. Cailan was a "good" man, he died. "Good" won't stop Loghain. "Good" won't stop the Blight. And so she did what had to be done. She threw away lives to avoid risking her forces. She destroyed the dalish to give her the beasts she needed to fight the blight. She sacrificed the future of the dwarves to put an honourable king she could trust to keep his word on the throne, and she sacrificed away their people to create weapons. She sided with the mages in the tower, not because she believed they were free from blood magic and possesion, but because she didn't care. As long as they killed darkspawn, it didn't matter. She destroyed hope to give her the power she needed. She abandoned her friend to accept the aid of one with the skills she needed. She forged herself into a weapon, and she forged Ferelden into a weapon. A crude, brittle weapon, but one that would give her a single strike at the Blight before it broke. And when Morrigan gave her the opportunity to survive, she said no. Not because of a fear of what the ritual would produce, but because of a fear of what she would see once the blight had gone. She knew what she had done. It was neccesary, but she had damned herself with it. And so she took the selfish option. The cowardly option. And when the weapon that was Ferelden delivered her to the Archdemon, she defeated it, and in death, became the hero which her actions did not justify. She simply did what she had to. And. It. Worked.

 

DA2, I'm trying to play as a fundamentally good man overwhelmed by events beyond his control, in contrast to my previous playthroughs where I've alway gone for characters with clearly aligned views. It's pretty fun, almost muddling through it, and it makes some of the decisions that are easy when you're going to one side actually quite hard to chose. I'm not actually sure which ending I'll go for yet. I'll see how his character goes. Probably very reluctantly templar, with Anders' action being what pushed him to that side. But maybe I'll feel differently when I get there.

Ive been finishing my canon characters trying to make sure everything is consistant to my characters personal beliefs and romances... but i do like playing just for the giggles

[Medhia_Nox]

@PhroXenGold:  Not that it matters - but I'm also switching from a good Warden to a ruthless one.  But my Cousland is actually more self-serving and embittered that his pampered, easy life as the second son of a noble was disrupted by petty politicking and those damn Darkspawn.

[QueenofFereldan]

So I am a little torn. I have thought of having a Dalish Elf and a Human Noble for my next two playthroughs in Origins. However, I am thinking of trying something different than having the Dalish Elf Rogue a "ruthless" person  who romances Morrigan, and my Human Noble who is a noble knight and romances an unhardened Leliana. I thought of switching that around a bit, to not follow a trope for the two.

[SnakeCode]

I may replay Origins before DAI comes out but there's no way i'm playing that abomination called Dragon Age 2 again.

I have done a more selfish character in the past, that did things for personal gain and only really fought the blight cos he'd be dead if he didn't, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did this one. Rivanon (for that was her name) just clicked for me. It just felt so much more believable and appropriate to the setting than either the arsehole who's forced into things, or the "good guy" that does the "right" thing. It's a Blight for god's sake, it's not supposed to be nice. It should leave the country in ruins. And Ferelden sure as hell is a mess at the end of this playthrough.

I replay Origins, get to Kirkwall and then I'm just like... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and stop playing

[Icy Magebane]

I recently played through DA:O and had a great time.  I even started a couple other runs to see if other Wardens might make for a better canon, but I think I'll stick to my original Warden...  Even with the game fresh in my mind, I won't rule out the possibility of playing through it again in the near future.

 

As for DA2, I started a game after completing DA:O but gave up on it because it was way too boring for some reason.  Recently, however, I picked it up again and made it almost to the end of Act 2 before getting sick of that character and restarting.  I'm currently working on a pro-mage mage-Hawke run, but it's very difficult to ignore the open use of magic within city limits sometimes... we'll see how long I last.

[Hadeedak]

I'm currently in DA2, after act 1. 

 

I'm trying to do some things I haven't before (like hook up with Anders, support mages on a nonmage) after an Origin/Awakening run where I did some things I hadn't done before (like play an elf.)

 

I forgot how much I like DA2. And DAO. And DA:A. It's amazing how much fun all three are to come back to, wrinkles and all.

 

Anyway, if I somehow explode, at least I'll have this save all shiny and new to work from with the keep. Or whatever.

[MissDragon]

Anyone know the top say five mods that are fun on Nexus for DA:O? Need something to shake it up as I've played many times. Would prefer smaller size due to bad net.If I'm lucky can do 60Kbps .

I don't know how many times I've played. I made a Amell to romance Alister cause all the females on the board that romanced him said it was a good romance. I found him funny. Then he dumped her for the Queen. Putz. Then romanced Justice-in-a dweeb. Ahhhh ,no, it was ok till he refused to tell me about the bomb. If I'd pulled that on my ex-wife she would have hit me with something heavy.

So thanks to the Ladies of BSN.

 

1 Dragon Age Redesigned

5 Make Your Companions Very Noisy And Talkative....this one is awesome.

[Gregolian]

I've played them both and all the DLC outside of the Golems of ARGEPOIMCAMAMRARARAK DLC like 3-4 times so most likely no.

[caradoc2000]

I might but my character slots are full.

[Shimmering Nug]

I did play Origins and 2 again in preparation back in August, now I'm just playing Venetica so that Inquisition will look even better by comparison (that and it was sorta just lying around and it had some kinda cool moments I vaguely recalled).

 

On my first playthrough I first completed Orzammar and I was complaining how I hated these damn Deep Roads! Little did I know what was awaiting me in the Fade 

 

Soo... I have actually done the "replaying" part this August, because I wanted to get this over with and go straight into work after the holiday was over... But at times my resolve reminds me of a pudding    Now that you have mentioned this, I think I'm going to replay the games again. Probably, I'll start playing as a male Warden (I have never done this, but I'm going to make one of the worldstates in the Keep with male Warden anyway, so why not try it out?). I think, he'll be a Cousland or Mahariel, romancing Morrigan. He'll make the same boring good choices I always make (except Connor case - I'm so lazy to go to the Tower to save everyone, so I usually kill either Connor or Isolde), perform DR and go on his merry way. 

 

Then I'll create another female mage Hawke (same old bore) and I'll try something I was thinking about for some time which I can't explain other way than by making an example. E.g. to get friendship points with Fenris you need to take a lot of pro-Chantry/pro-Templar/anti-Blood-magic choices. I want to try and get as much frinedship points with him while not doing this and being very pro-mage - by not taking him on specific quests or making "neutral" choices. Or rival Aveline while still being very diplomatic and law-abiding. Or befriend Merrill, while.... Nope, I don't think I'll ever be able to do this. I doubt it's possible to get companions bars full this way, but I'm gonna plan and play! 

I really like self-imposed challenges. 

 

So yes, I'm going to replay the games. I think I'll finish DA:II by the time the Keep goes into open beta. 

 

It's do-able, but you have to manipulate the quests very carefully. I've managed to fully befriend Fenris whilst being pro-mage and Merrill whilst being anti-blood magic. I've actually managed to fully befriend all party members (save Carver but I almost had it) as a pro-mage, anti-blood magic, anti-vengeance, anti-Isabella's shenanigans Hawke. Never tried to send Aveline down the rival path though.

[JudgeOverdose]

I replayed through DA:O and Awakening, and went through all of DA:II. For the most part I made the same decisions I did when I first played through -- certain things are a little too heartbreaking for me to do on any play-through. Ultimately, I went diplomatic as often as possible, and almost any time it was possible to let someone live, I did so. I am curious if we will see Loghain or the Architect in DA:I, however, if any decisions I made in the previous games reflect in horribly negative ways, it will be difficult not to swing over to the keep and change them for future adventures.

 

As it stands, I have a curiosity play-through of DA II going, with a sarcastic male mage. I have been trying to make some different decisions, but it is slow going at the moment. Mostly, I have been reading the novels to wet my whistle until the game comes out.

[EmperorKarino]

Sorry if this has been posted recently, I'm new!

 

Just wondering who else out there is currently doing a replay of both games, either to craft that perfect world state ready for import or simply because you can't wait until November to dive back into Thedas?

 

Feel free to talk about your Warden/Hawke and what choices you're making, what romance you're doing, etc. It's always fun to see what other people are up to.

[animedreamer]

im playing DAO, but DA2... i think im going to skip that and just pretend i replayed it, i imported a save from DAO and after about 30 minutes I was already meh about finishing the game, that's not to say when it original released i didn't spend days or months playing it over and over though. 

[3PointDecoupage]

I replayed 2, Awakening, and got halfway through Origins. I just dont have it in me to drag myself kicking and screaming through the fade again.

I want to recreate my save state since I switched from XBox to PS3 a few yearsago but its just so boring doing the same again. Hopefully I can use DA2 data and use Keep for Origins.

[Ladylionhart]

I've played a little of DAO again but I've only ever finished it once,the combat and some quests are annoying,such as Orzammar is just too long and I wasn't too fond of the combat to begin with,it's just too slow for me.But I've got my canon save file ready and able!  Female Cousland,Married Alistair and they became King and Queen.

 

As for DA2,I'm currently trying to perfect my canon Hawke.She is a female mage and she's very nice but can be sarcastic when she wants to be.In my original save file,I had her LI,be Anders but I'm trying to change that to Fenris.

 

So my DA2 Hawke is still a work in progress  

[themikefest]

I replayed both last month. I might again just before DAI is released

[thats1evildude]

*Holds up hand*

 

Yo. Finished DAO, just running through DA2 right now. It mostly mirrors my first playthrough, but with a few changes.

[Zjarcal]

Already did so about two months ago, both as a refresher and cuz it had already been a while.

 

Right now I'm more focused on refreshing on The Longest Journey...

[Ellestor]

I was avoiding replaying DA:O out of a sentimental loyalty to my First and True Playthrough, then I was almost driven to replay it for a fresher memory going into DA:I... then the Keep was announced.

So, I don't know. Probably not.
