I doubt any NPC that can potentially be killed/not be there will have that big a role in the story, so I'm thinking things like Owen's daughter, Bevin or Mardy's baby will just be NPCs that might give quests.

I really wonder why they wanted so much information about the way we saved Sten. Maybe the reverend mother in Lothering has survived and remembers the shitty Warden who threatened her

 

For the stuff that might have bad consequences, letting Varric keep the red lyrium idol comes to mind. Or Merrill's Eluvian.

Letting Varric keep the red lyrium shard was so obviously a bad decision that only one of my Hawkes could do it, and even that one occasionally thought about it afterward.  Merrill and the mirror, though...uh...sorry Thedas...

Well based on the choices provided in the Keep, some seemingly pretty inconsequential decisions are mentioned and presumably could have an impact. Bevin's sword for example or who Hawke sided with - the mersonaries or the smugglers. Cant imagine how these would impact, but then why include them in the Keep?

It would be funny if Elora's halla was a super special mount that you'd lose out on if you had it killed in Origins.

You have to have some meaningless filler questions otherwise if every question carried over it would take some of the surprise out of the story...or i think it would.

Well, it seems that Redcliffe will be a point of contention. Perhaps our actions there will determine how weak the Veil is? Less demons to contend with, perhaps, if one is righteous and saves as many lives as possible?

Would be a rewarding outcome for all that hero business that Morrigan was always giving me **** for (Before I stole my way into her heart)

Plus, while they might not have an impact on Inquisition, it's possible those could have an impact on future stuff.

I'm not really putting any faith in what decisions matter or not. Most will probably be a codex or something. But if the Ostagar Prisoner is actually a thing, when there wasn't anything to do with our other Awakening companions, then i'll have a big "F-YOU" for Bioware.

[Akkos]

Strangely enough, the Ostagar prisoner under Prologue. And to add to that, anything that seems small and irrelevant, it makes me nervous because I look at it like, "Why is that a thing?"

 

Why is it important that this man has so many options about whether he lived/died/was fed with stolen/persuaded/bought food? Anything that seemed unimportant makes me nervous because I'm not sure if it will actually play a part in the game or not, and if it does what does it impact? Because this seemed so unimportant at the time, I didn't give it that much thought!

 

LOL it has to do with what was kept in that mage's chest when you return to Ostagar.

 

How did a corrupted lyrium-fused staff end up there.

[Heresie Irisee]

I also expect Merrill's restored eluvian to come back and bite me, definitely. Possibly letting Feynriel go to Tevinter. Anything else backfiring in a major way would be pretty surprising, but that would be part of the fun 

[Jaison1986]

Well, personally I think these choices could end really badly depending on BW whims:

 

- Morrigan dark ritual. No way to know for what ends her ritual serves, so I could see it ending very badly (unless the warden follows her, maybe. He could convince her to not do anything drastic. This is all my speculation of course)

 

- Connor's fate. No way to tell if purging the demon will really fix his situation considering what Marethari says about demon possession in DA2.

 

- The Architect fate's. This one is just an complete unknown.

 

- Feynriel. Not so sure if letting an dreamer go study on Tevinter of all places is such an good idea.

 

- Bartrands's fate. This is more of how it will affect Varric in Inquisition. Forcing him to kill his own brother might have some negative consequences.

 

- Letting Anders live or not. Who knows what he will do if we just let him walk away? While if we kill him, Justice will likely possess him, and then it might make things even worse.

 

These are the ones that come to the top of my head right now.

[AlexiaRevan]

Hum...Nathaniel !!! he is probably will turn out like daddy dearest and come back with an army or something

Maybe he is in Inquisition. Maybe he escaped the battle somehow

[RenAdaar]

I want to know what happens if karras lives... I didn't want to kill all those templars and I thought he was just an a hole. But then I found out he's a rapist a few days ago an im wondering if I should kill him or not. =P

You can find the prisoner's body during Return to Ostagar, If you didn't do the quest, you can loot the key from his body.

DON'T read the spoiler unless you actually want to know..

He supposedly becomes a captain in the Red Templar army, along with Samson from DA2, and is an enemy of the Inquisition

[Sylentmana]

It's the butterfly effect.

 

If you let the Ostagar Prisoner live, but you stole the food....

 

...he carves "Man is inherently evil, and this is good" into the lining of his cage before he dies...

 

...two years later, a talking Darkspawn comes across the cage, and struck by the sentiment, pens a philosphical novel about the moral value of selfishness, and publishes it under a (human) pseudonym...

 

...five years later, this book is read by a young farmer in Redcliffe, who tells a barmaid about it one night over drinks....

 

...that same barmaid? Is the Elder One, who finally feels validated in her evilness. Congrats. It's your fault.

 

Any other choices, and the Darkspawn doesn't find that inscription, and writes a romance novel instead. The same young Redcliffe farmer finds it, but instead of talking about philosophy, he tries to hit on the barmaid/Elder One using dialogue in the Darkspawn's novel...which is enough to drive her to kill the man, and she feel good about it, giving her the same philosophical outcome.

 

So really it's a flavor choice. All roads lead to a poorly written darkspawn penned novel inspiring an overworked barmaid to destroy the world. And Bioware says our choices matter. Sigh. 

That settles it!

Bella is the Elder One!

Well if you believe the semi-non-canon epilogue slides, one Bevin outcome results in him becoming a famous adventurer (or something). And considering that he is probably in his late teens to early 20s around the time of DAI, his career might begin by helping the Inquisitor.

I hope Bioware does that. 

[Krothar]

I don't really know why this one sticks out to me, but I hope letting Varric keep a shard of the Lyrium Idol comes up at some point.

That seemed to obvious of a choice that will come back to haunt you later. I really can see no positive effect for letting him keep it besides the upgrade to bianca 

[garrusfan1]

the dagna and orzammar chantry desicions. Also the old god baby desicion seems to me would be a big deal.

[3PointDecoupage]

Im starting to think killing off Anders would have been the worse outcome than letting him live. With Anders around, he can atleast somewhat keep Justice in check, but maybe killing Anders allows Justice to be free and go possess someone more dangerous, or whom he can more easily manipulate. It'd make a pretty hilarious F you to the Anders haters.

[Aren]

I suspect letting the Architect live might come back to bite a few of my Inquisitors.

The architect is a genius he is the only one who can find a cure for this taint, i hate the taint..
