It's been awhile since I've had a legitimate playthrough of Origins or DA2. And with that said, some of the descriptions can be far too vague for me to know their true consequence, without scowering through the Dragon Age Wiki.

That said, does anyone know of any posts that explain the various decisions and their potential effects? And if not, can someone make one so that we can use that to cite everything a lot quicker?

If we had more detail, I think it would mean less time spent in the Keep, so that we could play Inquisiton as soon as possible.

This has been talked about several times.... even on the front page of these forums.  Even a simple google search of the like "Dagna Dragon Age" would take you to the wiki with all of the options and results free to read.

 

Stop being so lazy.

I don't remember most of my choices !

DAO and DA2 came out a few years ago, and so you may have trouble remembering all the choices your Wardens and Hawkes made. A couple of tips to help jog your memory:

  • there is a icon above every choice in the tapestry, click on it and the Keep will give you some context about the decision
  • if that's not enough you can go to the DA Wiki (linked above), and search for the quest name/character name etc. Most quests have their own detailed page
  • you can also try this website, which will take you through all of Origins tiles
  • and also this website, which details some of the obscure choices in DAO and DA2

From Common Questions thread.

Yeah, I saw the latter link, which inspired the thread. It was because of that, that I wanted to delve deeper into other characters and what affect they had. It was made even harder with DA2, because for the most part, a lot of our decisions are left obscure, because there's no real epilogue. So instead we have to scour around for every detail, which can become a pain when we would rather just get right into Inquisition ASAP.

Using the Keep is not a requirement for play Inquisition.

Well that's probably why they released the Keep weeks before DAI's launch.

Obviously. However, if these decisions are so obscure, it doesn't mean that I will remember them for the next time, and sure it's fine to look them up for the initial playthrough. But if I have to keep doing that every single time, because I want to see different, but potentially specific outcomes, that's when it can become tedious.

I mean think about it. If I spend a month playing Inquisition, and haven't seen the Keep since, what's keeping me remembering the little details I read said month ago?

By that time I'm pretty sure the DA Wiki will have a page detailing exactly what impact every tile in the Keep has on DAI.

If you can't remember them, then you should just ignore them.  The Keep was built for players who were very invested in their past characters, and who can actually remember all the choices they made.

 

It's not for players who don't care enough to remember if they helped some dwarf open a chantry in Orzimmar. 

 

I remember all my choices, as they were very important to me in constructing the character and world I wanted.

I played DA:O and DA2 maybe 2-3 times (I rarely beat a game and pick it up again, so that says something), but more often then not I have a hard time playing the bad guy. The Darkspawn Chronicles DLC or whatever it was called, made me feel sick by the end, because of how much I loved these characters. I have all the books too, so just because I may not remember all the decisions because it's been some time since I've played, doesn't make me any less invested then anyone else. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to try the evil decisions just to see how things played out, kinda thing.

The Keep is for everyone. People who remember all their choices, people who remember only half of them, people who've never played a Dragon Age game before etc. That's one of the advantages the Keep has over traditional save game import.

All I meant (sorry if it sounded harsh) was the the decisions you can't remember can easily be ignored.  I doubt it will matter much if Ruck is alive or not in DA:I...

They are working on mapping all the decisions last i saw on the wiki. Currently it's just a mess of text but it should be replaced with a table soon enough.

I can understand if it happens a lot on the forums, however, we gotta check ourselves more often. Believe me, if you think this is bad now, imagine what it will be like when the game is actually released. :P

As for choices, it would be nice to see they matter, rather then the game simply being like: "Here's a letter or an item, because you did this in the past," because that's exactly what disappointed me in DA2, and much more so in ME2.

It would be nice to see this, though, I don't doubt it must be a jumbled mess right now too. Hopefully it's more organized when the Keep is somewhat finished, if that will ever actually be the case.

To clarify, the first link (thedialoguewheel.wordpress.com) isn't just all of the Origin tiles - it's every single tile throughout the entire Keep, in the order they appear. :)

If I remember right didn't the Keep team said that they wanted to put enough information in the "?" of the tiles just to remind you of what that choice entails and not get too detailed? But yeah if you don't remember much about the plot tiles, the DA wiki is your best bet at the moment

Yeah, I've checked the question marks before, but even still it remains very little detail.
